Speaking Your Lingo

Speaking Your Lingo

There are many great thinkers of the past and with each generation we are moving further away from them. These brilliant men and women had a goldmine of insights and ideas that many of us are now missing out on. Our goal at Speaking Your Lingo is to dig up these valuable insights and shine a light on them for our current cultural moment. We want to share these insights in a way that honors those of the past and yet speaks the lingo of this generation. Welcome to Speaking Your Lingo, helping this generation think well.

In this episode, host Shane Lingo sits down with good friend and guest Gavin Knickerbocker for a conversation that’s a little out of this world, literally.

Gavin has spent years researching reports of extraterrestrial life, UFOs, and government disclosures, and he believes there’s more going on in the skies than we’ve been told. Shane, on the other hand, comes at the topic with healthy skepticism and some big...

In this episode, I’m excited to be back with you to explore a major Supreme Court case that could shape how we interpret the separation of church and state in America. While much of the recent news has focused on education policy, especially President Trump’s executive order shifting control back to states and local communities, today we turn our attention to the judicial branch.

We’ll look closely at the upc...

Tune in to discover the story behind the beloved Christmas classic.

In this episode of the Speaking Your Lingo Podcast, I ask the question, "Can you think of a time in your life when things got far worse before they got better?" As we look at Frederick Douglass' story, my hope is that we can gain a new perspective on those seasons in life that can often feel hopeless.

In today's special Christmas episode, I talk about the story behind another famous Christmas carol from the past.

Picture yourself on Christmas Eve standing in a nineteenth-century Catholic church in France. The spacious and dim Gothic church filled with a resounding sound of the organ playing, and a trained opera singer boisterously singing O Holy Night. This is the backdrop in which we find the origin...

In today's episode, I will be talking all about morality. One of the big questions we will wrestle with today is, "Do objective moral values exist?"

Another way of saying it is, are there things we ought to do and are there things...

When was the last time you got into a healthy disagreement? A healthy debate in which you and another person were having a conversation and you happened to disagree on an idea or a topic? A conversation where each of you took the time to thoughtfully express why you believe what you believe without either of you getting offended at the end of the conversation? How often does that happen? In today...
