Her work has been honored by the Sarton Women's Prize, The Women's National Book Association, and the Massachusetts Center for the Book. A literary late bloomer, Ellen Meeropol began seriously writing fiction in her fifties, but her first publications came much earlier. At age twelve, her essay, "I am a Square Dance Orphan," was published in a national square dance magazine and she wrote a monthly feature column for her high school newspaper in the Washington, D.C. area. Ellen studied art at Earlham College and the University of Michigan.After working as a day care teacher and a women's reproductive health counselor, Ellen became a registered nurse and then a nurse practitioner, working at a children's hospital in western Massachusetts for 24 years. During that time, she authored and co-authored two dozen articles and book chapters about pediatric issues and latex allergy. She was honored for excellence in nursing journalism by the nursing honor society Sigma Theta Tau and received the Ruth A. Smith Writing Award for excellence in writing in the profession of nursing. In 2005 Ellen was given the Chair's Excellence Award from the Spina Bifida Association of America for her advocacy around latex allergy and spina bifida.In 2000, after decades of reading voraciously and thinking that "someday" she would write, Ellen started writing fiction and studying craft, earning an MFA from the Stonecoast Program at the University of Southern Maine. In 2005, determined to spend more time with the characters demanding her full attention, she left her nurse practitioner career.https://www.ellenmeeropol.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Genesis 1-6SU-USA President Gail Martin is joined this week by Whitney Kuniholm, SU President Emeritus, as they discuss readings in Genesis.Covering Genesis 1–6, Whitney walks us past the two themes we all recognize — creation and the fall — to focus on the one that's easy to overlook: the nature of sin, or how sin actually works in our lives.Drawing on the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and God's grief in Genesis 6, Whitney shares honest reflections from his own experience.Follow along with the Encounter with God daily Bible reading guide at ⁠scriptureunion.orgThe “Coaches in the Word” series will resume next week. Featured Guest: Whitney T. Kuniholm, SU President EmeritusMr. Kuniholm is President Emeritus of Scripture Union, USA. He is a speaker and the author of several books on personal and group Bible study, including The Essential Series, three church-wide Bible reading programs based on his books. To date, the Essential Series has reached more than 20 million people and has been translated into 25 languages.

In this message from our Relationships in a Broken World series, Pastor Josh teaches on the art of forgiveness through the lens of Matthew 18. In a world that normalizes avoidance, retaliation, and bitterness, Jesus calls His people to something radically different: to release others from their debt because Christ has first released ours. This message shows that unforgiveness does not protect the heart — it imprisons it. Forgiveness is not erasing the memory, waiting for an apology, pretending the pain did not happen, or instantly restoring trust. It is the decision to release someone from the debt they owe you because of the grace that has already been extended to you in Christ. Pastor Josh also walks through practical biblical steps toward forgiveness and reconciliation: examine your heart humbly, identify the debt honestly, extend grace, speak wisely, pursue peace, and trust God with justice. Forgiveness is frequent, courageous, and from the heart. 

The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 7th Jun 2026.This week we hear directly from our youth as they speak to us about social media, how it affects their lives and their walk with God.

Being told to just raise your kids doesn't sound like a great piece of advice. But it landed profoundly for Susan. She heard it as a pointer to stop trying to think too far ahead. To listen to wisdom in the moment. To stop overthinking. Who doesn't need less overthinking right? Listen in for your own aha moments. Founder and Executive Director, Susan Silverman grew up in a family that fostered older children, and getting to know kids without a permanent, loving family of their own had a big impact on her. Now, she and her spouse have five children, three were born to them and two were adopted. She is the author of a memoir, Casting Lots: Creating a Family in a Beautiful, Broken World and has been featured in the New York Times, NPR, BBC, ABC, and more. Susan has a BA from Boston University, an Ed.M. from Harvard University, and an MA and Rabbinical Ordination from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.

The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 31st May 2026.The word lament is not part of our contemporary vocabulary. Despite the fact that lament plays a significant role in the scriptures (there is even a whole book of the bible named Lamentations,) the whole concept can feel quite out of place in many contemporary christian environments. As we continue our series The Struggle is Real: Being Fully Human in a Broken World, Andrew explores the role of lament in scripture and why it is an important part of healthy and authentic spirituality.

We all long for life to be easier, clearer, and more predictable. Yet some of God's deepest work happens in the difficult seasons we would rather avoid. In Ecclesiastes 7, Steve Sauers shows how wisdom is formed when we stop running from reality, learn to trust God in the waiting, and surrender our desire for control. Life is hard, God is sovereign, and we are not in control. The question is: where might God be inviting you to grow in wisdom through difficulty?

Today I'm sharing a powerful clip that really hit me spiritually. It tackles one of the hardest questions people wrestle with: if God is real, why does suffering exist? This is an honest, biblical discussion about pain, evil, faith, and the broken condition of the world — without the watered-down answers. Whether you're strong in your faith or struggling with doubt, I believe this message is worth hearing.Original Video: Why Doesn't an All Powerful God Stop Evil?https://youtu.be/dFsTh4Spt6E?si=b1qgWLPCfzueG3VKGod bless

1 John 5:31-21 | Christian Confidence In A Broken World | Benji Horning

The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 24th May 2026. The natural world is filled with examples of life emerging in the most unpromising of circumstances. What if this mirrors how God acts in our broken world? This sermon, on Pentecost Sunday, explores the work of the spirit bringing life in the midst of the difficult, painful, dry seasons of our life, often in quiet ways like a breath, and occasionally in more dramatic ways like wind or fire.

For 21 May 2026, Thursday of the 7th week of Eastertide, based on John 17:20-26, sent in from Lille, France.

Hope for God's people in this broken world consists in remembering our true identity—that we are citizens of his kingdom, not of this world.

What does it actually look like to follow Jesus in a world filled with conflict, pressure, and broken relationships?In First Peter chapter 3, Peter challenges believers to respond differently than the world around them—with humility instead of pride, blessing instead of retaliation, and hope instead of fear.This message will explore how Christ shapes our homes, our relationships, our response to suffering, and our confidence in difficult times.Can people see Jesus in the way you live and respond when life gets hard?At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

In some countries today, little emphasis is placed on boys and young men. But as Christians, we recognize that godly men play important roles in the Church. Those boys and young men are tomorrow's shepherds.And they will face spiritual wolves in their lives. In fact, most already do. How do we prepare them for those battles in cultures hostile to the Christian faith?Shay Robbins, a director at Kanakuk Christian Camps, joined the Christian Emergency Podcast in this encore episode to share from his many years investing in the lives of young men. What he unpacks is relevant not only to dads and sons, but also to anyone with young people in their lives.Listen in and learn how you can better prepare young men today for the spiritual wolves tomorrow.If this information is helpful to you, please give us a 5-star rating and a positive review.

One of the most dangerous temptations for God's people is the temptation to earthly power. True power is wielded by the Lamb.

All of us want to make sense of life—of our work, our relationships, and our place in the world. Who are we? Why are we here? What should we do with our lives? And is there a hope I can cling to as I struggle to make a slight difference in the world?Our guest is Steven Garber. He has spent his life as a teacher of many people in many places, including his work as Senior Fellow for Vocation and the Common Good for the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, and the Economics of Mutuality Alliance. He was the founding principal for the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation and Culture. And Steve continues his work as Senior Fellow for the Institute for Marketplace Transformation.Anybody who is a regular listener to this podcast will have heard the name “Steven Garber” mentioned a lot. Not only was he Bob's doctoral mentor, but he has also influenced many of our previous guests. Steve is the author of some fantastic books, the latest being Hints of Hope: Essays on Making Peace with the Proximate (Paraclete Press, 2026).In our conversation we discuss:* How our work in this broken world can be frustrating and that even the most beautiful things we see and do show signs of that brokenness. * But that we can, and must, work (empowered by God's Spirit) toward something “proximate” to how God would want things, bringing hints of the hope that is to come. * The Gospel of John begins with ‘The word became flesh.” While this is the center of Christian theology, it is also a statement of pedagogical genius. We discuss how, in the things we do in our various vocations, we see “words become flesh,” in other words, we see that ideas are not just ideas, but that they can result in practical transformation.* Quoting Samwise Gamgee from the Lord of the Rings, we see that good books (and good movies, good music, good poems, good art) tell the truth about the human condition.* We hear the story of the Mars Corporation (M&Ms, Dove, Pringles, Pedigree Wiskers), a family-owned company who wanted to honor God and people with their business. Steve was asked to help them think through what it might look like to have a more complex bottom line than just about making money, creating a sustainable business model that seeks the flourishing of all entities in the business ecosystem (from the procuring of chocolate from African farmers, all the way to the end user eating a Snickers bar).* They created the Mutuality of Economics Alliance, a model for business that puts human and environmental flourishing at the heart of value creation.* Oxford University's Saïd Business School teamed with the Economics of Mutuality group to publish Putting Purpose into Practice: The Economics of Mutuality, which is now free online. * Steve mentioned the book Completing Capitalism: Heal Business to Heal the World by Bruno Roche (chief economist for Mars, Inc.) and Jay Jakub (Senior Director of External Research at Mars Inc.), a practical book that sees capitalism as more complete when generating financial capital is joined with generating human, social, and natural capital.Scroll down to learn more about Steven Garber.Thanks for listening!If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with your friends!Your hosts are Dr. Bob Robinson and David Loughney.

Episode 115 Guys! I love this episode! We are talking about how to talk to your kids about sex in a joyful and relaxed way, not one laced with shame or fear or even discomfort. Laurie and Matt Krieg are the authors of the book, Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World: a Gospel Centered Approach, and we get to talk to Laurie about this book today! This book could feel heavy, challenging and even scary to pick up, but let me tell you, Laurie is so warm and approachable. She and Matt are passionate about helping families create a healthy sexual culture in their home and that comes through in this conversation and in the book. It is not the scary things that lace our conversation, it is the good things of the gospel that lace this conversation and the book. Yes, the gospel is absolutely a part of the sexuality conversation. And when we miss out on that, we are doing our kids a disservice. That is why I am so excited about having Laurie on the podcast today and to talk about her book. Because now more than ever, Christian parents need to present gospel truths about sexuality to our kids. Laurie and Matt show us how in their book. I know you'll love this episode, and it will give you so much to think about. Please, please share it with your friends so you can talk about it with them too! Get Laurie's book. Get my book. And begin the conversation in your family, with your friends, and with anyone who will listen. Because these conversations matter so very much.  And a quick heads up, spaces are filling up in both my women's walking retreat in the Cotswolds and our family trip to Italy.  There are only 3 spots left for the women's walking retreat and registration closes on May 15th.  And we only have room for a few more families for the family trip to Italy! If you are considering going, please use the links below for more info.

Send us Fan MailCaleb and Maria are in their 20s, expecting their first baby, and asking the question every parent eventually has to face: why bring a kid into a world that feels this broken? Jess sits down with them to talk about stewardship, the mindset shift before baby arrives, and why Christians can't afford to check out of the world we've been entrusted with.Discover:Why this generation is course-correcting away from idolizing the world and back toward JesusHow becoming a parent magnifies (instead of dampens) your call to change the worldThe "live for them, not just die for them" reframe that's reshaping how Caleb is preparing for fatherhoodHow Caleb's grandparents broke a generational cycle of abuse — and the one agreement they made that changed everythingWhy sponsoring a child you'll never meet is biblical stewardship in actionPractical first steps for anyone who wants to make a difference but has no idea where to startWhat it looks like to set your eyes on things above while still showing up for things belowReflection: You don't have to be expecting a baby to feel the weight of this conversation. Every one of us has been entrusted with something — a marriage, a job, a season, an opportunity — and stewardship just means returning it better than we got it. The kingdom of heaven isn't only a future hope; it's something we get to participate in building right now. The question isn't whether you have enough to give. The question is whether you're willing to start.Key Takeaways:Stewardship starts with remembering nothing you have is actually yours — it's been entrusted to you"You say you'd die for them, but would you live for them?" — the daily decision matters more than the dramatic oneYou don't need a perfect family lineage to be a great parent; use what you didn't like as fuelThe harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few — rest matters, but so does urgency"Try the different flavors of ice cream" — you don't have to know your exact calling to take the first stepVolunteering reorients your heart posture from inward to outward, every single timeQuestion for you to think about: Would you live for the people you say you'd die for?Calls to Action: If this episode hit, subscribe so you don't miss what's coming.

Can God really forgive me after what I have done? In this episode of the Connect Podcast, Cole and Bobby answer real questions people are asking about the cross, forgiveness, struggling with sin, fear of rejecting the faith, what happens when we die, and how to live with grateful accountability before God. This conversation points us back to the heart of the gospel: Jesus died for our sins, rose again, and fully forgives everyone who comes to Him in faith.Together, we explore the profound significance of the cross, the nature of salvation, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. We also address common questions about faith, sin, forgiveness, and the urgency of seeking God, providing biblical insights and personal reflections.Keywordsfaith, salvation, cross, forgiveness, hope, sin, Jesus, Christian life, eternity, spiritual growthKey topicsThe significance of the cross and Jesus' sacrificeThe nature of sin and forgivenessThe importance of seeking God now, not laterChapters00:00 Celebrating Community and Generosity02:51 Addressing the State of the Nation06:10 Finding Hope in a Broken World08:59 Exploring Questions of Faith11:55 Understanding the Significance of the Cross17:45 Struggling with Sin vs. Rejecting Faith28:39 Embracing Our Flaws and Past Mistakes31:30 The Urgency of Seeking God39:41 Understanding Life After Death49:14 Living with Purpose and AccountabilityResourcesRomans 5:8 - God's Love Demonstrated - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+5%3A8Ephesians 2:1-5 - Made Alive in Christ - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2%3A1-5John 19:30 - It Is Finished - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+19%3A30Isaiah 55:6-7 - Seek the Lord - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+55%3A6-7The Cross: The Heart of the Gospel - Desiring God - https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-cross-the-heart-of-the-gospelThe Power of the Resurrection - BibleProject - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZ123The Prodigal Son - Luke 15:11-32 - Bible Gateway - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32

In a culture obsessed with "happiness hacks" and immediate emotional relief, what if our sadness isn't a glitch, but a proper response to reality? In this follow-up episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Ben Mathew (Professor of Counselor Education at CIU) tackle the heart of the existential crisis. They move beyond the "social leg" of mental health to explore the "existential leg"—the shared process of meaning-making in a world that often feels like running into the wind. In this episode, we discuss: The Rationality of Sadness: Why feeling existential dread and deep frustration is a "proper response" to the systems and brokenness around us. The "Neurosurgeon" vs. the "Glass of Water": Identifying why we often rush to clinical experts when what we truly lack is a durable community "house" of support. Lament as Language: Following the example of Christ on the cross and the Psalmists to give a voice to our heartache without being "chastised" or "condemned." Anchoring Against Despair: How the local church acts as a "buttress of truth," helping us find a non-anxious presence even when our bank accounts are zero or life feels overwhelming. Shared Meaning: Why meaning is best solidified not in isolation, but within the "community of saints." Stop trying to shortcut the healing and join us for a conversation about sitting in the tension, voicing the lament, and finding the grace to keep running.

You finally meet someone you click with. You've got things in common, the conversation flows, and suddenly you're ready to tell her everything. But that hunger for closeness in a new friendship can actually push people away before the relationship has a chance to build.In this episode, Danielle sits down with therapist and author Minaa B. to explore why so many women rush platonic intimacy, what happens when a new friend doesn't match your energy, and how early sibling dynamics can subtly fuel competition and scarcity in adult friendships. Minaa also shares what it actually takes to break the pattern, starting with the self-worth work most of us skip.

God's holiness is simultaneously the source of terror to the rebellious and the source of joy to the redeemed. 

What does it look like to follow Jesus honestly… even when your story is messy? In this episode, Heath sits down with Darren Mulligan of We Are Messengers for a conversation about faith that doesn't pretend, struggles that don't disqualify you, and the grace of God that meets you right where you are. Darren shares openly from his own journey—how God met him in broken places and continues to shape his life, his family, and his music.This conversation is a reminder that you don't have to clean yourself up before coming to God—you just have to come. Darren talks about surrender, identity, and what it means to live with authenticity in your relationship with Jesus. If you've ever felt like your past, your doubts, or your struggles make you “less than,” this conversation will encourage you with the truth that God is still at work—and He's not finished with your story.

God's call for our faithfulness is grounded firmly in his own faithfulness to us. 

Since the Fall, we've been trying to get back to what we lost. We look to others to show us the way, but we keep coming up short.

Love is not real love if it is only given in words. It must act. The love of God is a working love that demonstrates His character to the world.

After walking through the consequences of sin and the brokenness it brought into the world—shame, distance from God, and pain—we see something surprising: God's response isn't just punishment, it's protection and a plan. By keeping Adam and Eve from the tree of life, God is actually preserving the possibility of redemption instead of locking humanity into brokenness forever. God's plan ultimately leads to Jesus, who makes a way back to Him. The takeaway is simple but powerful: the world is broken, but there is real hope, and it's found in choosing to trust and follow Jesus. (Talk by Josh Daubert)

This talk was originally presented in Solvang, CA on November 12, 1982. This recording is the result of our work digitizing over 600 cassette tapes of Elisabeth's talks. Each tape is decades old and the quality of the recordings varies quite a bit from tape to tape. As we preserve Elisabeth's legacy, we will share as much of her work as possible, even when technical issues affect the quality of the audio. Each is unique, with its own stories and tone. All are a blessing and encouragement. -- Music by John Hanson
