Jen has been a quiet superfan of David Gate ever since discovering one of his poems on Instagram and instantly texting it to six friends. A British-born poet, writer, and visual artist, David explores themes of care, community, and spiritual resilience. Today, he joins Jen and Amy to talk about his latest work, A Rebellion of Care—a powerful blend of essays and poetry rooted in tenderness, authenticity, and resistance. From writing to flour milling and homesteading, David's life is a living practice of nurturing both self and community with intention. Key highlights from this conversation include:  How radical tenderness can be an act of resistance Why are many people living  radicalized lives without realizing it, and often for things they don't truly care about How homesteading is a rebellion against modern food practices Reimagining masculinity and what it could look like in a better world Building community and friendship as a vital source of joy and support in life How anger and joy are companion emotions The sacredness of everyday practices Thought-provoking Quotes: “I did not want to have an email job and I did not want to be in meetings that could have been emails. I did not want to be on Slack. I just didn't want that to be what I was spending my time doing. I loved caring for people, and I loved creating and writing, and I got to do that within the church world.” – David Gate “It's just very hard not to be cynical about everything and what I found was that I was cynical because I really, really cared. And, because I really, really cared, everything was just so overwhelming, and the easiest way to deal with that was to shut down and be cynical and be snarky. But, I realized that I had to press through and embrace what was behind that cynicism. so I had to really embrace my own earnestness and my own care in the world and concentrate on what I wanted to build rather than what I wanted to tear down.” – David Gate “It's a constant battle to speak the truth. Even things we all know It can be difficult to say, if it's not something that is normally said, and it's not something that is normally expressed, so you have to fight for that and you have to fight for your experience of the truth. You have to fight for your story. You have to fight for all of that.” – David Gate “I think it's very, very difficult for men to reach for emotional honesty because everything tells you that you're failing if you do that. But it's the most important work right now. And so much of what men are actually looking for in this world, intimacy, a sense of place, a sense of belonging, companionship, adventure, excitement, is on the other side of reaching for that emotional honesty.” – David Gate Resources Mentioned in This Episode: A Rebellion of Care: Poems and Essays by David Gate - https://amzn.to/4jjf87X Good Soil: The Education of an Accidental Farmhand by Jeff Chu - https://amzn.to/3GnS21w Cultivating Belonging and Evolving Faith with Jeff Chu - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/cultivating-belonging-and-evolving-faith-with-jeff-chu/ Sarah Bessey - https://www.sarahbessey.com/ Armando Veve, Illustrator - https://www.instagram.com/armandoveve/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3YHKgpw Sinners film (2025) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31193180/ Malaprop's Bookstore, Asheville - https://www.malaprops.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.davidgatepoet.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/davidgatepoet/ Substack - https://substack.com/@davidgatepoet 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.

Welcome to the cozy ASMR secondhand bookstore, where we focus on romance books.

I'll take note of what you're looking for and then collect some books that I think you would be interested in. We'll go through each book and you can pick the ones you want to purchase. I hope you enjoy the soft-spoken chit chat, thocky creamy keyboard typing, gentle book tapping, page flipping, and personal attention. Happy reading!

This week, Sam and Hannah have spent some serious time on the dock where they ... actually read the same book for once! Amazing. And it's maybe not a book you would have guessed. Plus, we've got a long-lost classic and a really fun summer read (even if it's about rich people. Again), and a good discussion of what makes a 14+ book.  On the agenda this week: - "Dungeon Crawler Carl," by Matt Dinniman, which Sam and Hannah both decided they liked quite a bit, even though it's very much a "dude-bro" sort of book. It's a sensation. You should give it a shot.  - "Best of All Worlds," by Kenneth Oppel, which is a well-targeted YA novel with an original set-up and a very sweet coming-of-age story. Also, set in Canada, which is fun. But is it really Canada?!? - "Ramona," by Helen Hunt Jackson, which is an absolute classic, and was once fully canon, but has sort of now been largely forgotten. Sam's here to tell you it's an important work of American literature and legitimately a must-read book in understanding the foundation of America.  - "These Summer Storms," by Sarah MacLean, which Hannah describes as "if Emily Henry wrote a book of Succession (like, the television series)." Highly entertaining and good for the beach.

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale discuss the Shelby III Adult Bookstore Murders. On the night of January 17, 1987, three men were killed and two more were seriously wounded in a mass shooting at the Shelby III Bookstore in Shelby, North Carolina. The bookstore was an adult bookstore that was known to attract a gay male clientele. https://www.crackhousechronicles.com/ https://linktr.ee/crackhousechronicles https://www.tiktok.com/@crackhousechronicles https://www.facebook.com/crackhousechronicles Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles Sources: newspapers.com  

Independent bookstores have been on the retail death watch for a few decades now. But, as one American author might put it, reports of their impending demise have been greatly exaggerated. For many, the recipe for success is local ownership, strict attention to local needs and concerns and calendars packed with special events to help create a sense of community. This is what Tiffany Phillips has found over nine years as founder and owner of Wild Geese Bookshop in Franklin.   Phillips had a well-established career as an attorney in the health care industry as she was turning 40. But Franklin didn't have a bookstore. One thing led to another as Phillips sought a new office space, and soon she was doing double-duty as a lawyer and a bookshop proprietor. She had a bigger vision for the store as a hub for cultural life and a haven for anyone interested in creativity. As Wild Geese approaches its first decade in business, it has developed a national reputation on the authors circuit as a destination where Phillips and her staff pull out all the stops to host hundreds of fans and involve other local businesses, like the historic Artcraft Theatre and the Main & Madison Market Café.    IBJ's Taylor Wooten recently wrote about this in the May 30 issue of the paper. For the IBJ Podcast this week, host Mason King wanted to chat with Phillips about the small-business challenges of opening and growing the shop and how she fights against persistent fears that investing in the printed word in a small Indiana city is, well … kind of crazy.

This week, Sam is back from Iceland, where he read some Scandinavian literature and visited a bookstore, though mostly just looked at volcanoes, waterfalls, and icebergs. But, have no fear, we have plenty of books to talk about this week.  On the agenda this week: - "The Salt Stones," by Helen Whybrow, which is a memoir about leaving publishing to become a shepherdess in Vermont. Sheep! Hannah loves it.  - "Blood Ties," by Jo Nesbo, which is not a Harry Hole novel, but is rather a standalone about brothers who love each other, but also are trying to kill each other. Sam's not sure about the "moral dilemmas" it presents.  - "Kill Your Darlings," by Peter Swanson, which tells the story of a marriage in reverse, starting with a wife who'd really like to kill her husband. But why? Peter's a local and does great work here.  - "Until Alison," by Kate Russo, which is set at Colby College, where Kate went, and deals with a murder of a Colby student, which happened by Kate was at Colby, but is otherwise totally fiction. It's a little cartoonish.  - "Mohawk," by Richard Russo, which is actually more similar than Sam was expecting. It's ALSO a little cartoonish while trying to do "small-town life." Sam doesn't believe it. But lots of stories are more lively than boring real life.  - "All the Beauty in the World," by Patrick Bringley, which is another memoir, but gives you a ton of cool info about working at the Met in New York City and fits nicely in the pantheon of museum guard books. Also, this gets Sam talking about "The Clock," a piece of art by Christian Marclay that is completely amazing and you need to see.

On this episode, we were joined by Francesca Wade to discuss her groundbreaking new biography, Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife. This book paints a dual portrait of Gertrude Stein by dividing her story into two parts: her life and her afterlife. Doing this not only brings her partner, Alice B. Toklas, into clearer view, but also separates Stein's work and its lasting impact from her larger-than-life personality. Francesca takes us behind the scenes of her exhaustive research—from exploring the Yale archives, which hold over 75 years of manuscripts, personal letters, and photographs, to visiting the French countryside where Stein and Toklas lived during the German occupation.  We also discuss how Toklas, left behind after Stein's death, devoted herself to preserving Stein's legacy, even as she struggled with legal battles and near-poverty while living surrounded by Picassos she couldn't bring herself to sell.Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Olivia Robinson.

The owner will close or sell Outside of a Dog Books and Games this summer. Mike Phelan shares why his family is leaving South Dakota.

All across social media this week, there has been on topic and subject that's been getting more attention than anything else, and surprisingly, it has little to do with Trump authorizing airstrikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities. The main thing people are talking about is Replacement Theology, and how Christians have replaced the Jews as God's chosen people, and the Church has replaced Israel as the apple of God's eye. The fact that these things are not true does not stop people like Catholics and Calvinists from believing it. In my message today, I want to talk to you about the current state of the Jews and Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)Today we held our very first Sunday Service at the Bible Believers House Church in the Bookstore, we had a full house and it was a blessing. The old hymns were sung, a strong message was preached, and when it was over we had a nice little Open Forum Q&A to close out the service. We praise the Lord for this open door, and invite you to come and be a part of what the Lord is doing at the Bookstore every Sunday morning at 11:00 AM EST. Please follow our Facebook page for event information.

This is part two of a two-part series covering ten years since the deadly shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.   With a victim's brother, Spectrum News 1's Tim Boyum returned to Charleston to visit the church. Although much is different, the pain remains. Malcolm Graham's sister, Cynthia, was one of the nine murdered in the church basement. Boyum and Graham walked around Charleston visiting the church and a library where she was once a librarian. They also visit a bookstore in Charlotte. Graham is a member of the Charlotte City Council and author of a new book. He's dedicated himself to keeping his sister's memory and spirit alive. Tim also spoke to the church's pastor, who was called in to help the congregation recover.

This week, Sam and Hannah are back from a heavy Memorial Day Weekend of reading, and Hannah's books, in particular, are once again well-coordinated. Even if they're a little hard to describe. Also, this is a solid Pride episode, sort of by mistake. Here's what's on tap: - "The Book of Records," by Madeleine Thien, which is as meaty a read as we've had in a while, full of philosophical truths and a building made of time. This is great stuff.  - "Erasure," by Percival Everett, who is legitimately among the most important writers working today. This is the book that was made into the movie "American Fiction," but, as you might imagine, is even better than the movie.  - "I'll Tell You When I'm Home," by Hala Alyan, who this time delivers a memoir grappling with her family's history of immigration, escaping Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion and coming to the U.S. This book shows you what generational trauma means.  - "The Phoenix Pencil Company," by Allison King, a data privacy professional who's crafted a magical text about a family that can read pencil hearts (they stab it into their veins) that's perfect for Pride month. It's weird, yes. But new and different.  - "Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil," by V.E. Schwab, which is an ode to Anne Rice — a vampire book — but doesn't really follow Rice's vampire rules, exactly (they're all lesbian vampires, which is different). The second half of this is pretty great.  - Oh, and we're not going to tell you which book it is we disliked so intensely. See if you can figure it out. And there's no real good reason why this didn't get posted before June 10, other than Sam being in Iceland and not feeling like posting it. Sorry.
