The Romantic movement is a tragic movement. In response to the Enlightenment, poets and painters sought a return of feeling but failed in one crucial aspect: to ground the vision, to make clear how it is a means of truth.The result is that, alongside the wonderful, powerful presence of reason in the modern world, runs a desire to intensify feeling is if that can bring back the meaning otherwise lost to the technological and abstract.Only, ungrounded, Romantic feeling doesn't. Instead, too often, it leads to reactionary nationalism, fundamentalism in religion, hedonism and sentimentality, and modes of inner healing that offer exaggerated experience as a proxy for transformation.William Blake spotted this tendency. He realised that Romanticism must come of age, to borrow the expression of Owen Barfield, by understanding the imagination as a way of knowing of and growing into the fundamentals of existence. In this talk, delivered to the Centre for the Study of Platonism at the University of Cambridge, I explore how Blake conveyed the crucial awareness that might redeem the tragedy of Romanticism, so damaging alive in the modern world.For more on Mark, and his book about Blake, "Awake!", see www.markvernon.com

Description: Tune in for this very special #JenHatmakerBookClub episode where Jen gives unprecedented access to look behind the scenes at her own writing process and collaboration that went into the publishing of “Awake”. For today's conversation, Jen sits down with Vice President and Editorial Director for Avid Reader Press, Lauren Wein, to delve into the journey of bringing Jen's book "Awake" to the page and all the way to the New York Times bestseller list. Jen discusses the profound impact of trusting your own intuition in your writing along with the challenges in memoir-writing of prioritizing authenticity and vulnerability while honoring the privacy for those involved. Lauren pulls back the curtain on the collaborative nature of the editing process, describing the satisfaction she finds with helping authors find their voice. And Jen shares the one truth she hopes every reader of “Awake” walks away with. Anyone who is interested in writing, or the behind-the-scenes or book-making will enjoy this episode.  Whether you're a writer or a reader, this conversation offers a unique glimpse into the creative process and the power of storytelling. Thought-provoking Quotes: “One of the things that Awake is about is learning to trust yourself and trusting your body. I feel like that is how I edit. It's like a tuning fork. I sense when something is like, need more or need less. It's physical.” – Lauren Wein “Every story deserves authenticity.” – Jen Hatmaker “In the war of ‘you versus you', nobody wins, because you're very hard on yourself. You have a very critical inner voice. When you hear somebody tell you something that you maybe sensed about yourself but you didn't quite know, it ignites something, it confirms something that maybe you sensed was there but the voice was too small because the other voices were just louder.” – Lauren Wein “Finding your voice is a journey.” – Lauren Wein “When this book was first announced, it was erroneously referred to as a tell-all, which was upsetting to all of us because that is absolutely not what it is. What was very important to you (Jen) was honesty, not telling it all, but being truthful and respecting other people's privacy. Now that is the hardest line to walk when you're writing your own story because your own story is not your own story entirely.” – Lauren Wein "Trust your intuition in creative work." – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: For the parents who are slogging through May – https://jenhatmaker.com/blog/for-the-parents-who-are-slogging-through-may/ Margaret Riley King - https://www.wmebookdepartment.com/team/margaret-riley-king/ Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottleib - https://amzn.to/4pUADj8 Wild Game: My Mother, Her Secret, and Me by Adrienne Brodeur - https://amzn.to/4nywiRc Becoming Duchess Goldblatt by Anonymous - https://amzn.to/4o6rHpt Awake by Jen Hatmaker audiobook - https://amzn.to/4gU7v7P Lights on a Similar Path: ‘Awake' Readers Reflect On Finding Their Way - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/lights-on-a-similar-path-awake-readers-reflect-on-finding-their-way/ Guest's Links: Website - https://editors.simonandschuster.com/editor/wein-lauren/ Twitter - https://x.com/desideratasaur Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/lauren.wein.1/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever laid awake at 3AM, counting sheep, overanalyzing your life, and stressing that you'll be a zombie tomorrow, this episode, part 2 of our series on sleep, is one  you don't want to miss.Today, Susan and Kate sit down with the Dr. Christopher Winter, neurologist, sleep medicine specialist, and author of The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child. He's the go-to expert for pro athletes, firefighters, and anyone who's ever wondered, “What's wrong with my sleep?”But here's the twist: according to Dr. Winter, your sleep might not be “broken” at all. In fact, the way we think about sleep, our fears, expectations, and obsession with perfection, might be the real problem.This isn't another conversation about blue light and blackout curtains. Dr. Winter flips the script on everything you think you know about insomnia, sleep hygiene, and the infamous “8-hour rule.” You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might just stop fearing those restless nights once and for all.Because maybe, just maybe… your body knows exactly what it's doing.In this episode:Insomnia isn't a disease, it's a perception.  Most people who say they “can't sleep” are actually sleeping more than they realize. The problem isn't sleep, it's the anxiety about sleep.The real secret? Be happy awake or asleep. When you stop fearing wakefulness, insomnia loses its power.This conversation will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about sleep, and maybe even help you stop fighting with your pillow.P.S. This is part 2 of our sleep series! Check out last week's episode with Dr. Kirk Parsley for another perspective on sleep!Learn more about our guest Dr. Christopher WinterDr. Christopher Winter has practiced sleep medicine and neurology in Charlottesville, Virginia since 2004, but has been involved with sleep medicine and sleep research since 1993.

This Sunday, Josiah Downey shared his powerful journey from exhaustion and doubt to surrender and renewal. After stepping into full-time ministry at Awake, Josiah found himself overwhelmed, questioning his purpose, and struggling to feel God's presence, until one prayer changed everything.Hear how surrendering his “armor” opened the door to peace, purpose, and a deeper walk with Christ, and how his story reminds us that God often meets us in the waiting.

The church in Sardis is called to stay alert in the face of the comfort of reputation and status that would lull them to sleep.

What do you do when the life you built completely falls apart? That's the question New York Times bestselling author and podcast host Jen Hatmaker faced after her 26-year marriage ended and shattered everything she thought she knew. In the months that followed, she went from a shiny, successful leader — speaking to millions of women about authenticity and agency — to a mom of five trying to survive heartbreak, anxiety, and a life she no longer recognized. In this powerful conversation, we talk about how to begin again when the life you planned falls apart and the surprising freedom that comes when you stop pretending everything's fine. Jen's new memoir, Awake, is out now.  More from Molly: Get Molly's latest book, Dynamic Drive Website: mollyfletcher.com

In this episode of Unshaken Faith, Alisa and Natasha take a deep dive into Jen Hatmaker's new best-selling memoir, Awake—a book that has already sold over 100,000 copies and is captivating Christian women across the country.Hatmaker describes Christianity as the greatest source of oppression in her life—and replaces it with what Alisa calls the “unholy trinity” of feminism, critical pedagogy, and even witchcraft. Together, Alisa and Natasha unpack the book's six central themes, reading key quotes directly from Hatmaker and comparing them with biblical truth.You'll hear:Why Awake is far more than a personal memoir—it's a theological manifesto.How post-Christian spirituality often replaces Scripture with self-worship and emotional “truth.”The danger of calling something “Jesus” when it's crafted from our own imagination.How witchcraft, energy rituals, and self-trust have become the new spirituality for many women.A biblical response to the cultural message: “Follow your heart.”Alisa and Natasha approach the topic with both compassion and conviction, acknowledging the heartbreak in Hatmaker's story while showing why her conclusions lead women away from the true gospel.???? Listen to the end as they remind listeners that real freedom isn't found in rejecting God's authority—it's found in surrendering to it.

Send us a textGrace and peace to youMy heart breaks for the hatred and anger being expressed in this world although scripture makes it clear that it will happen.I felt led to share the unwavering biblical truth and reality in hopes of those that claim to be followers but not reflect Christ at all. There is a right and wrong way to battle injustice in this world and the bible explains how to to face it. Its still hard and heartbreaking but no more than peoples unbelief and nominal faith that breaks Christs heart. Let us be spiritually and scripturally awake and face injustice until Christs inevitable return.Big LoveBrother JeffSupport the show

Even though your mind wants to keep you awake with tasks to do, responsibilities to hold or life to ponder.  Sleep is here...and she's waiting for you. So go ahead and close your eyes as you settle into comfort. And just notice how it feels to close your eyes. Maybe you can feel your eyelids twitch softly as they begin to surrender to the sleep they've been fighting.  Perhaps you can feel the moment when their heaviness finally takes over and your entire face falls and relaxes, As your cheeks soften, And your jaw releases, Your tongue drops from the roof of your mouth, And your forehead relaxes. Feel the heaviness of your eyes sink you further into the night. PAUSE… Now bring your attention to your stomach. Observe how it rises and falls with every breath. Feel it filling with air as you breathe in, And releasing air as you breathe out.  Now see if you can take a deep breath in, Inviting your stomach to grow as big as it can as you fill your body with cool air, And exhaling it all the way out. Imagining that every breath out releases a thought, A worry, A task, A memory, A vision. Imagine that each breath in invites in cleansing oxygen, gathering up all the happenings of the day,  And the array of emotions and thoughts that have been stored inside your body, And on each exhale, imagine the air extracting all of it, releasing it out into the dark night around you. Watch them dissolve into tiny grains of dust that disappear around you.  Breathe in, gather it all up, And breathe out, letting it all go.  Breathe in, Breathe out.

Description: For a special treat this week, we're bringing you some highlights straight from Jen's recent Awake book tour in a limited series we've dubbed “Road Trippin' with Jen”.  Every tour stop, audience, and special guest brought its own kind of magic, so we're excited to share some of the best moments with you here on the podcast. On this Road Trippin' stop, Jen shares the stage with two powerhouses. In Houston, board-certified OBGYN and best-selling author, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, shares her journey and insights into women's health, particularly around menopause and midlife. She unpacks our burning questions—why brain fog shows up before periods change, why sleep matters, and how a “menopause toolkit” can set us up for strength, longevity, and joy. This conversation delves into the complexities of menopause, the importance of nutrition, sleep, and movement, and the power of community and connection.  Together we learn how to thrive in mind, body, and spirit during this transformative phase of life. Then we head to the Music City of Nashville, where comedian and truth-teller Heather Land talks about using humor to survive whatever garbage life throws at us, pivoting careers in midlife, and choosing honesty as a way to create belonging. Heather reminds us that laughter can be holy too, and when every other thing fails, humor has a way of breaking us open just enough to let the light in. Tune in for an evening that was equal parts comedy set, revival, and group therapy. … Thought-provoking Quotes: Perimenopause brain changes show up well before your periods go sideways.” — Dr. Mary Claire “Strength training is non-negotiable if you want to keep bone and muscle.” — Dr. Mary Claire “If you don't laugh, you'll cry—and sometimes the laughing saves you.” — Heather Land “Honesty is freedom. If people don't like it, that's on them.” — Heather Land “Staying awake isn't just serious business—it's about finding delight in unexpected places.” — Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Ultimate Menopause Toolkit - https://bit.ly/3WkYsDo The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts by Dr. Mary Claire Haver - https://amzn.to/4qBg8bU For the Love Episode 21: Series 64 - Reinventing Yourself with Heather Land - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/reinventing-yourself-with-heather-land/ Dr. Mary Claire Haver — Board-certified OB-GYN, bestselling author, leading voice on perimenopause/menopause care, and educator advocating science-based, compassionate treatment for women in midlife and beyond.
