In this episode, you'll hear Stan Grant’s 2025 lecture, Against Bitterness: how do we live with suffering?Theologian and writer Stan Grant delivers a searing diagnosis of our times where chronic loneliness, runaway technological development, and fractious identity politics make bitterness the last real human emotion. He offers an antidote: imagination, re-enchantment, reconnecting with God, and human lives committed to doing the little things of the everyday.--- Stan is a public intellectual, writer, journalist, and, latterly, theologian. He has over 30 years of experience in radio, television, and current affairs, including as a foreign correspondent for CNN and the ABC. As a proud Wiradjuri man, Stan has grappled, publicly, and movingly, with the ongoing legacy of dispossession in Australia and the challenges faced by Aboriginal Australians. His lectures, books, and columns reveal an astonishing array of references, all delivered with poetic insight. These days, he is a distinguished professor at Charles Sturt University, and you can catch his columns in The Saturday Paper. His latest book is Murriyang: Song of Time.--- Check out CPX’s other podcast, Life and Faith, a weekly conversation about the beauty and complexity of belief in the 21st century.
