Should a disagreement on baptism prevent a man pursuing a woman? Kevin and Josh use this reader question as a launchpad to talk about wise discernment in courtship. They discuss authority and submission…whether deferring to a woman's preference is permissible if she otherwise won't marry you…the implications lurking beneath the surface of simple doctrinal questions…and whether there is something more important than mere confessional alignment.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! In this episode, Ellie and David talk about weddings. What kind of celebration is a wedding? And what social function do these festivities serve? Do weddings necessarily legitimize the institution of marriage? Or can weddings be dissociated from this legal institution and its problematic history? As they ponder these issues, your hosts walk you down the aisle of history by considering how early Christians developed their views about weddings by embracing some aspects of Roman weddings while rejecting others as vain and contrary to virtue. They also explore the meaning of weddings symbols that are still with us today and look at how weddings can challenge exclusionary nationalist ideologies. In the Substack bonus segment, Ellie and David talk about the weddings they've been to and discuss historical factors that shape our current conception of weddings.Works Discussed:Stephanie Coontz, Marriage, a HistoryLaurie Essig, Love, Inc.Arnold van Gennep, The Rites of PassageBrooke Leany, “Something borrowed: The origins of Christian wedding rituals.”Ellen Rothman, Hands and Hearts: A History of Courtship in AmericaLisa Schwarzbaum, “Mamdani, His Mother and a Movie of Prescient Grace”Jonathan Wolff, “The Value of Ceremonies”Start your business today with the industry's best business partner, Shopify.

It's all about desire and what it's making people do out here as well as how it's made people think in the most selfish of ways. There's a dilemma involving children and a question on strategy as well. A woman hops online asking for advice on getting a second baby, but her circumstances are more complicated than ever. Then, a young man laments on his friends' dating experiences, citing the lack of self-esteem as a factor that may have led to them getting their girlfriends. Is it a valid sentiment, or should there be more consideration for it? >Give your feedback here

Against that sweeping backdrop of the New World emerges one of America's most beloved storytellers, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who, on the eve of the Civil War, looked back to the humble settlement at Plymouth in search of the virtues that could heal a divided nation. In this episode, we explore the remarkable story behind The Courtship of Miles Standish before experiencing Longfellow's unforgettable poem in his own words. Journey into the fragile pilgrim colony where friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and love are tested in the wilderness, and discover why this timeless tale still speaks to the questions we face today: How do we remain true to ourselves while honoring those around us? And how do the stories of the past help us become better people in the present?ILLUSTRATIONS:Wherever possible we used original illustrations by Mathew B.

At 8 and 9 years old, Brandon was a fixture on Hollywood sets - a child actor with credits on Bad News Bears and The Courtship of Eddie's Father - and somehow, that was the tame part.What followed was decades of living at full volume. Lead singer of the Dead Kennedys. Smuggling cocaine out of Bali. Shooting acid and landing in a psych ward. A heroin addiction that stretched on for years, fueled by a life that had never once asked him to slow down.The moment that finally cracked him open wasn't a near-death experience or a legal consequence. It was a letter. His wife left it in a hotel room in Santa Barbara. Simple message: get sober, or lose his son.He got sober.Nearly 30 years later, Brandon has surfed the world clean, worked as a sober companion, and spent years as an editor for South Park. He came up in Twelve Step and eventually added Refuge Recovery.to his program.Connect with Brandon on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two unconventional love stories, one classic, one contemporary, that avoid the usual tropes of “meet cute,” “opposites attract,” or “happily ever after” but are still engaging.  In “Love in the Slump,” by Evelyn Waugh, clueless upper-crust newlyweds are sent on a comic odyssey.  The reader is Jane Kaczmarek.  And Esther Yi's “Moon” explores something we often mistake for love—obsession--as a young woman is drawn farther and farther into K-Pop fandom. The story was selected by guest editor Min Jin Lee for Best American Short Stories 2023.  It's read by Hettienne Park.  And we hear Lee's and Park's thoughts about the story.

In the second of two programs created with the podcast Death, Sex, and Money and our live event host Anna Sale, we explore issues of happiness.  Host Meg Wolitzer introduces a satirical romance by Oscar Wilde (did he write any other kind?).  “The Model Millionaire” is read by Peter Francis James.  In Kevin Brockmeier's “Space,” a grieving widower and his son try to get past their loss, looking for light in the darkness.  The reader is Michael Stuhlbarg.

In the first of two programs created with the podcast Death, Sex, and Money and host Anna Sale, we explore issues of identity and connection.  In “Sacrament of Confession,” by Ernie Wang, a man struggles with a messy past that is affecting the present.  The reader is Richard Kind.  And in a touching do-over, a man meets his wife for the first time—again.Amy Ryan reads Seth Fried's “You Again.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Finding the right person can feel confusing. One moment there's hope. The next there's pressure, fear, comparison, loneliness, or wondering if love will ever happen. And in a world shaped by dating apps, hookup culture, unrealistic expectations, and romantic fantasies… How do people actually build a healthy relationship? In this episode, Andrew sits down with Araceli to talk honestly about dating, courtship, marriage preparation, and what it really means to find the right person in a healthy way. They explore: • Why so many people feel stuck or anxious in relationships • The fantasy of "the one" and why butterflies aren't everything • How healing and sexual integrity shape relationships • The role of faith, community, and support in courtship • How to know if a relationship is helping growth or pulling someone further away from themselves • What healthy love actually looks like. One of the biggest reminders? Healthy relationships aren't built through chemistry alone. They're built through honesty, growth, intentionality, and learning how to love someone for who they really are.


This episode examines how Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z approach contemporary dating etiquette in distinct ways shaped by technology, culture, and shifting values. We discuss optimal post-first-date communication, generational attitudes toward sexual intimacy on early dates, and practical guidance on when to schedule the next meeting. Listeners will gain evidence-based insights to navigate modern dating with clarity and respect, regardless of their age or the generation of their partner.

Should a potential 1920s candidate for a wife be "untouched”? Not at all, let her use life! At least that was the opinion of Clement Wood, the author of today's text - “The Art of Courtship” from 1926. Surprisingly bold for the era, Wood's tips and tricks on “wooing” the opposite sex are the focus of today's episode. Enjoy! _________________ Check out my Patreon!  https://patreon.com/textory

There has been a big shift in America in how men and women decide to get married. In early America, parents had a very high level of authority and responsibility over who their children married. This was partly driven by economic and social factors, where the parents were more concerned about continuing the family line and ensuring that their children and grandchildren would not starve to death than whether the two getting married were emotionally compatible with one another. As time went on and America became wealthier, engagement and marriage became less about financial stability and more of a courtship arrangement. The parents were not arranging the marriages as much as they were overseeing the interests of their children. As we lost our understanding of a biblical worldview, and focused on pleasure rather than duty and obligation, the marriage process has become more about the emotional and physical response to the relationship rather than establishing a productive home where both could safely establish their future. And while some may disagree, we would argue strongly that this modern approach to marriage has failed dramatically. In response, many are choosing to never get married or cohabitating for years, but behaving as if they are married to see if the emotions last, but none of this solves the underlying problems. For the last fifty years, about half of marriages end in divorce, people are not happier in their relationships and their families, and marriage rates have declined significantly. So let's start off with a question: why is dating such a terrible way to establish marriages?Thumbnail image by Jack Pearce under CC BY-SA 2.0Production of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Inside the Institute in Basic Life Principles, the question was always what the victim did to cause it.IBLP's central teaching — the "umbrella of authority" — told families that staying under hierarchical authority meant spiritual protection. If harm came to you, it was because you stepped outside the structure, or because someone above you had secret sin that created a "leak." The person who actually caused the harm was never the primary focus. The victim's obedience was.That doctrine extended everywhere. Marriage teachings told wives their bodies weren't their own and warned against resisting their husbands. Purity culture defined women's value by their modesty and sexual history. Courtship placed fathers in total control of their daughters' romantic lives. And the organization's own literature on sexual assault eliminated the concept of a blameless victim entirely — always redirecting the focus to the harmed person's spiritual positioning.The practical effect was a system where reporting abuse felt like confessing a sin. Where women in abusive marriages couldn't leave because divorce was framed as spiritual failure. Where children learned that their suffering was evidence of their own disobedience.This is Part 2 of a five-part investigation into the inner workings of IBLP. Not the celebrity families. The operating system. The belief structure that evangelical scholars have called legalistic, extra-biblical, and designed to silence the people most likely to be harmed. And the question at the center: when a doctrine tells victims they caused their own abuse, is that a failure of the system — or is it the system working exactly as intended?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Working-Class Courtship, Marriage, and Divorce in Scotland, 1855–1939 (Oxford UP, 2025) by Professor Eleanor Gordon, Professor Katie Barclay, and Dr. Jeff Meeks is the first book-length study of the history of working-class courtship and marriage in Scotland, from the establishment of civil registration to the introduction in 1939 of legislation which abolished irregular marriage and introduced civil marriage. Adopting a 'life course' approach, the book explores the social, economic, and cultural contexts of romantic partnerships, from courtship through to marital or family dissolution.Drawing from a wide range of sources that capture official accounts and discourses on the one hand, and the testimony and experience of working-class people on the other, the book offers a uniquely broad and textured view of courtship and marriage in this period. In so doing, it advances recent historiographical debates surrounding marriage in the Anglophone world, particularly the mutability of 'love', and whether the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries constituted a social and cultural 'turning point' for the working classes in terms of choice of marriage partner, the nature of the marital relationship, and the parent-child relationship. The book also engages with debates about extra-marital sexual activity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, whether the family was more or less 'stable' than the contemporary family, and the different ways that marriages broke down before the advent of divorce reform. This has important implications for wider European and North American historiography, and raises timely questions about the primacy of the 'traditional family' in policy and public discourse. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories that demonstrate the ways in which characters—like all of us—can play many different roles in one another's lives, and in the world around us. Cherline Bazile's “Tender,” which guest editor Min Jin Lee included in Best American Short Stories 2023, reflects the contradictory nature of friendship.  It's read by Anna Uzele.  And our second story, Grace Paley's “The Contest,” reflects the contradictory nature of courtship, as the bewildered narrator is alternatively flattered and bullied by a girl with way more on the ball than he has.He tells us so himself, in the voice of actor Justin Bartha.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.
