Why was the Old World so fearful of usury? What did ancient scholars have to say about it? And how were all the warnings slowly ignored to land us in the land of usury today?

Usury. An empire building tool? A necessary evil? A path to build wealth? John walks us through the beginnings of usury in the Old World and in later episodes how we arrived at modern usury (like pre-approved credit cards aimed at unemployed teenagers with unreasonable interest rates).

Join us as we peel back history to reveal the roots of Babylon (maybe) and future America's DNA in the guise of the 5x winner of best named things, the New York State Buffalo Normal School.

John sits down with the very talented Arthur Kwon Lee to talk about beauty, art, and culture.
About Arthur (from his website): Arthur Kwon Lee is an American painter whose gestural mark making harmonizes expressive color palettes with world mythologies and religious icons. His work has won awards from George Washington University, the Korean Artists Association, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and most recently the inaugural title of 'Artist of the Year' by the Eileen Kaminsky Family Foundation. Lee draws inspiration from a broad range of sources including the Jungian archetypes, Christianity, and his lifelong commitment to martial arts.

Dr. Timothy Patitsas is the Interim Dean of Hellenic College and the Assistant Professor of Ethics at Holy Cross. His book, "The Ethics of Beauty," attempts "[...] to recover one of the most ancient emphases of Orthodox spirituality, which is the firm priority given to combating the sensual rather than the intellectual passions [and] how this translates into a consoling and liberating Beauty-first approach to Orthodox ethics and life.

In our shifting world there is a crevice opening up: the ontology of the new world is clashing against the old. The modern "backhoe" idea of I can do, be, and move anything myself is coming up against the idea of "well maybe...if God wills it..." Come along with John as we explore this idea a little more.

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.

Hello and welcome to WAWTAR! The question today..."do you believe in the bible?" John breaks this down. What does the question really mean? Are we talking literal? Or is something mystical happening. This rabbit hole may go a little deep...

Ah the crack cocaine of postmodernists. Equality! Heers takes a look at what our modern culture is binging on these days, but also at old world societies and their binges. Equality might be the intellectual food de jour, but history has shown this is just one course in a whole slew of dishes going back in time.

Daniel Padrnos, Executive Field Director for First Things Foundation and previously a Field Worker in Sierra Leone comes on for an honest take at what deep cultural immersion does to you. Daniel spent 2 years living and working in Sierra Leone, sometimes in the capital, but mostly in the remote village of Kailahun. During that time he underwent a profound change which he discusses.

Welcome back and welcome to a small announcement. This week we kick off a monthly (maybe biweekly series) talking about immersion and something like "flow." WAWTAR will bring on Field Workers, artists, and people who are looking to talk about deep immersion.
Think you are a person like that? Reach out to Andrew at andrewschwark@first-things.org and let him know with a small pitch.

Today John talks with Kilts Khalfan (a pen name, see bio below) to talk about how the West has lost its nations and instead adopted the corporation as its uniting principle. In effect, the West has become populated with Vending Machine People. Today is a dive into that idea.
Bio (from the Dragon Common Room website):
"Anticonservative, but definitely not antiChrist, Kilts is a Medieval thinker, poet, concept artist, and co-author of two books (and counting) published by the Dragon Common Room.
She is currently working with the DCR team on the five-volume epic, Draco Alchemicus.
Kilts regularly muses on her Telegram channel The Sandwhich Press, a digital liberal arts project that feeds into DCR’s work."Links: Vending Machine People - https://tinyurl.com/2cjathnfDragon Common Room - https://www.dragoncommonroom.comFor all the updates join our Telegram channel: https://t.me/firstthingsfoundationYou should definitely check out Keipi Restaurant 👉 www.keipirestaurant.org

Hello and welcome back to "Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" Paul Kingsnorth returns as a guest to talk about his path to Orthodoxy, what it took to get there and what Orthodoxy is in the modern world.
Kingsnorth is an English writer and thinker currently living in Ireland. Growing up he was actively involved in protests, at one point going so far to chain himself to a bridge. He has worked for Greenpeace, openDemocracy, and EarthAction, is an honorary member of the Lani tribe and was infamously named one of Britain's top 10 troublemakers. He is also a recent convert to Orthodoxy.

This week WAWTAR takes a brief look at the telos underpinning almost all modern stories. The show Ozark provides a great contrast to that of Crime and Punishment by Feydor Dostoevsky. Redemption vs nihilism. Beauty vs chaos. The material vs the spiritual.

On a recent (domestic!) flight, Heers had the chance to see a rather interesting movie called the Night of the Kings, from the Ivory Coast (link below). The story it tells is fascinating and old world, but does everyone receive the story in the same way? Are other narratives constructed to fit a particular world view? Here comes a heavy dose of universal storytelling...lightly.

Most of us at one point or another have been on the receiving end of that phrase. Maybe we've even dished it out a few times. But what can this seemingly innocuous statement tell us about the culture we live in? To do that we go back to Aristotle and Plato and it gets old world fast here on WAWTAR.

Using three stories pulled from our work and observations on science and thought today, John wonders aloud about the decline of meekness. He dives into the bicameral mind, the overthrow of the old gods and the rise of a new, singular one.

Uncle Seth! Need we say more? Today he and John talk about the new (old?) American God: politics. Seth and John take a little "test" designed for middle school students to help determine where they land on the political spectrum. Are Seth's new world ideals Liberal? Are John's old world leanings Conservative? Time to find out...

Today on WAWTAR, Heers is excited to bring on the authors of the book, Development in Mission. Monty Lynn, Rob Gailey, and Derran Reese discuss poverty alleviation, the traps missionaries and foreign aid workers can easily find themselves in, and how we can all adopt a better method moving forward.
From their book description: "Jesus's words, "Blessed are you who are poor," are the seeds of a new reality. So how can God's people participate in this transformation of how to live and serve? Development in Mission offers a way forward and encourages readers to embrace a holistic approach to poverty alleviation."

This week Heers takes a look at a new world phenomena of becoming our own kings and queens. In Haiti this even goes so far as building castles...with moats. But in breaking all this down we need to examine what royalty throughout history and whether or not we really want the same today...

What are children? Cosmic mystery? Pain in the ...? It's a very large question, but one that invites all sorts of interesting discussion when viewed from different perspectives. In the West we see a rise in the percentage of parents regretting having children. Is that even a possibility in the Old World? Join Heers as he takes on children in part one of this two part series.

Story time! Dan Shays and his rebellion are revisited by Heers today as an allegorical exploration for COVID, lock-downs, and what is "good" for you and me. Maybe big pharma is good. Maybe everyone receiving the vaccine is great. But maybe Mr post-revolutionary Shays would have gotten a little rowdy over all of this.

It also happens to touch on deep, meaningful themes of life that can provide a type of catharsis for many. James and John explore this healing factor and we invite you to reach out to us if you'd ever like us to host one for you!

What is alone time really? And isn't that really just "sitting at my desk and working" time? The Old World sees it as a potential sickness and in the West as a necessity. Come explore (alone or otherwise) what this very common thing actually is with us on WAWTAR.

What does success look like? Well the NoVo Foundation seems to think that we can measure it using love as a metric. But how does that work? And as some have noted, can love really be quantified so easily? John tackles this and counters with an old world concept called the nous - which offers a possible meeting ground for these concepts.

Foreign aid...what's it really? Did George Washington have a foreign aid policy? And is it only about sending aid overseas, or is there an element of receiving as well? Or is it all about making lots of money? Heer's takes a quick look at what aid is and how it's delivered.

Welcome! Welcome! Today John dives into the dowry (not to be confused with bride price - don't worry we clear that up). What was it, what is it, and how has it transformed in the modern world? Also, yes, there are people who kidnap their brides and we talk about that too.

The From the Field Series is a conversation between First Things Foundation Field Workers and John as they explore the lesser talked about aspects of life. This is not a series devoted to what FTF does per se, but rather, a meaningful look at how experiences and decisions shape our lives.
This week Isabella Copeland joins us from our Appalachian site to talk about her experience as a hospital chaplain and her intimate and life changing experience with death and those coming to terms with it.

Big companies have become the movers and shakers of the modern world. But was it always that way? How were merchants understood in the "old world?" And do big, global companies have a problem that most of us aren't discussing?

In the "Old World" you see a lot of interesting things. A truck lodged in the roof of a Guatemalan hut for instance. You also see, especially in Africa, men holding hands. What is that all about? You might be surprised to find out that the underlying reasons are more important culturally than is first apparent.

Welcome back! John has been ruminating since his trip to Africa (Mozambique - where we might be working at some point in the future, stay tuned!). He was noticing trash. Or the lack of it. And it got him thinking about how we enlightened folk think about waste. Is it all bad?

John has returned from a trip to Mozambique where slave castles and the old world mixed in his brain to produce this episode. It's a little about our culture (Chuck D and Public Enemy), it's a commentary on the Enlightenment and the cost of utopian dreams. And it's a reflection on all the "leftover" people when utopian dreams fall through.

La Tanya Hall is a renown singer and musician who has played with some of the world’s most celebrated artists, including Steely Dan, Diana Ross, and Aretha Franklin among many others. She has also appeared as a solo artist in her own right with the American Composers Orchestra, The Denver Symphony, and the St. Louis Symphony and at jazz clubs around the world. Her new record, Say Yes (Blue Canoe Records), debuted in November of 2020.
She is also a teacher, having created the first vocal jazz degree program at Oberlin Conservatory five years ago and continues to teach there as an associate professor of jazz voice.
In this episode John and La Tanya sit down to talk about the roots of Jazz, and by extension, almost all modern music not classical in nature. They discuss the soul and it's reaction to the beauty found in music. And along the way there is a Light-O-Meter test and a bunch of musical insight.

Baseball is changing. In fact it has been changing for a while now. And the shift involves a move from "old timer wisdom" to KPIs, swing statistics, and algorithms that let a team win for less money. It might also be heralding a deeper problem in our society as a whole. Join Heers as we take a quick look at how greed and selfishness are changing the game.

Kingsnorth is an English writer and thinker currently living in Ireland. Growing up he was actively involved in protests, at one point going so far to chain himself to a bridge. He has worked for Greenpeace, openDemocracy, and EarthAction, is an honorary member of the Lani tribe and was infamously named one of Britain's top 10 troublemakers. He is also a recent convert to Orthodoxy. Today John and Kingsnorth talk about the journey from protest to humbleness and seeing the divine around us.

Secret meetings. Plots. Unexplained things. Our imaginations can run wild when we think about conspiracies. They are the proverbial rabbit hole. Instead of talking about a bunch of conspiracies directly, today Heers discusses the historical and post-enlightenment understanding of conspiring along with ice trays and Emmanuel Kant.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our world in far reaching and profound ways. Perhaps overlooked is the spiritual impact it has had on all of us. Namely, the ubiquitous mask, which prior to this was reserved for thieves, select medical persons, and old world cultures.
To help us make sense of all of this John invited Fr. Silouan back on. As an iconographer and someone well versed in traditional art, he sheds some light on the symbolic and iconic aspects of the mask.

While there could easily be parts three through infinity, we are ending our foray into evolution here. But hold on, because on this episode we take a look at the philosophical and rational underpinnings of evolution. We examine the idea as it transitions from theological into its post-enlightenment rational theory. Also featured is the Birmingham Lunar Society. What?

Are we suffering from a thanksgiving problem? Is giving thanks irrational (but really...is it?). Today John and Dan look at a bunch of hardcore "light" people (post-enlightenment people) who argue that in fact, your gratitude may be something akin to a vestigial organ. Of course the Old World will have something to say about that. Welcome to episode 43 of WAWTAR!

Welcome! This week Heers and Daniel discuss Old and New World types of protest and to do that we take a look at sports.

What is a vote? What is that thing we all just did recently in the US? Where does it come from? And what does it mean today? We go back to ancient Greece and Athens to explore the roots of democracy. We also take a contemporary psychological look at what voting means for the modern mind. With both perspectives in hand, Heers offers historical insight into our modern government.

Often times in the "Old World," where First Things Foundation sends its Field Directors, you will encounter magic. Be it voodoo, or Mayan rituals, or any of the myriad types they have a common flavor. As "New Worlders" it's easy for us to hear about this and scoff, yet, what happens when you come face to face with it? With something you don't understand or can't explain? And really, how is that any different from the technological marvels we are surrounded by? Come join John Heers and three former Field Directors for a round-table discussion about magic and science on this episode of WAWTAR.

In this episode we explore Truth. But that's a super heavy topic so we decided to come at it from a couple of different angles including juju from Africa, what it means to "take an oath," (do we even do that anymore?), and of course what the term "fake news" hints at. Welcome to episode 8!

In this episode Heers brings on his daughters to see what their understanding of history is, what the midnight removal of the Columbus statue indicates, and how our perception, really our understanding, of history fundamentally changed after the Enlightenment.

Kanye has been saying some very interesting things of late. Comments on Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger open the door to exploring the world view of Sanger: was she a racist as Kanye claims? Or is she something else? To answer this question we go back and take a look at her speech, "My Way To Peace" (link below), examine it and use it to explore the roots of her world view (lig).
And along the way we encounter the most tasty of Enlightenment thinkers, Mr. Bacon.

In this episode John takes a deeper look at the symbolic manifestations of man and woman in architecture, how it relates to the Old World understanding of marriage, and how the love match began to change all that. It's a fascinating ride from ancient Egypt, through the Victorian age with Jane Austin, up until the present where we get to all the confusion surrounding gay marriage.

Much of today's show is culled from experiences with married folks in West Africa, Guatemala and the Caucuses. Those marriages and those people, including lovely couples who have come and shared their Hindu arranged married stories with me in an academic setting, create the fodder for today's conversation. For more on this, join us for trip to the old world. Once COVID finds its way past, we will again be taking people to visit our friends in the places where we work. Come along and learn as we have learned. Peace!

Personal race reparations using Venmo? What are the payments for and why is this happening? And where is it coming from? The head? The heart? Or somewhere else... With an "Old World" lens I'll try to make sense of contemporary phenomena.

How did we get to where we are? To make sense of the death of George Floyd and the riots and protests, I walk us back to the Enlightenment and the origins of Western Civilization. Phillip Sherrard's, Rape of Man and Nature is my guide for this episode.
