Mother's Day. When Anna Jarvis founded the holiday, she envisioned it as a day for everyone to honor and thank their mothers. She worked tirelessly to promote the holiday. She hoped it would be celebrated around the globe. But after a few years, Anna noticed that Mother's Day was becoming… commercialized. Anna was incensed. She went to war against florists, greeting card makers and anyone else who might make a profit on Mother's Day. Her anger even spilled over onto charities that used the holiday to help fundraise for mothers in need. By the end of her life, Anna Jarvis figured that if she could bring Mother's Day into this world, she could also be the one to end it. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: “The mother of mother's day,” by Daniel Mark Epstein for The Philadelphia Inquirer “The founder of mother's day mostly cared about her own mother,” by Nina Martin for Mother Jones “Anna Jarvis: The woman who regretted creating mother's day,” by Vibeke Venema for the BBC “Battling the Mother's Day monster,” The Ottawa Citizen “Why Mother's Day founder Anna Jarvis later fought to have the holiday abolished,” by Jonathan Mulinix for Mental Floss “How the founder of Mother's Day died alone, childless and penniless in an insane asylum,” by Laura T.

There are a lot of books about Benjamin Franklin. They tell us about his youth and accomplishments in business, politics, and diplomacy. They tell us about his serious interest in electricity and science, and about his philanthropic work. But only a handful of these books tell us about Benjamin Franklin as a man. What did Benjamin Franklin think about and experience when it came to his private, lived life? Nancy Rubin Stuart, an award-winning historian and journalist and author of Poor Richard's Women: Deborah Read Franklin and the Other Women Behind the Founding Father, joins us to investigate the private life of Benjamin Franklin by using the women in his life as a window on to his experiences as a husband, father, and friend.

Daniel Mark Epstein's poems and biographies of Aimee Semple McPherson, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Abraham Lincoln, and Bob Dylan, have been translated into many languages.

What was everyday life like during the American War for Independence? In honor of the Fourth of July, we'll investigate answers to this question by exploring the histories of occupied Philadelphia and Yorktown, and how civilians, those left on the home front in both of those places, experienced the war and its armies.  These episodes will allow us to see how the war impacted those who remained at home. They will also allow us to better understand the messy confusion and uncertainty Americans experienced in between the big battles and events of the American Revolution.  This first episode investigates everyday life in British-occupied Philadelphia.

There was not much of an agenda to this episode, but our exploration brought many deep insights into the nature of ministry, morality, our fallible human nature, terrible foods, ancient heresies, and more. Stephen Burnett joins us again for a great discussion on the life and ministry of Aimee Semple McPherson in the 1920's, 30's and 40's, as well as our thoughts on the 2019 film Sister Aimee. The book Rev. Andrew continually recommended in the episode is Sister Aimee by Daniel Mark Epstein (not really the basis for the 2019 film of the same name- though it was on the same person of course).Also, we mention a favorite movie of Rev. Andrew's Take the Money and Run (an early Woody Allen film) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944): As we wrap up the life of Aimee Semple McPherson, we will see that God not only works in and through us, but sometimes in spite of us. Aimee’s later years were marked by controversy, sometimes as a result of her mistakes, but often as a result of attack and opposition to the work God was doing. And yet the Lord was able to redeem even these things for His purposes, demonstrating His goodness and faithfulness to those who love Him.

Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944): Born the year Catherine Booth died, Aimee Semple McPherson was raised in the Salvation Army church and ministry.

The American Revolution is embedded in the American character. It’s an event that can tell us who we are, how we came to be who we are, and how we can strive to be who we want to be as a nation and people.

Spiritualism and mediumship, two topics I keep coming back to as this podcast progresses. This week, I bring you the tale of the charlatan who swindled Mary Todd Lincoln and his connections to a presidential assassin and tales of other first ladies who entertained mediums at the White House. I'll also discuss a medium that Jane Pierce swore was the real deal and even told the woman that, when she resided in the White House, she would bring the woman in via the front door, an illustrious entrance indeed. This episode contains a treacherous humbug, a cranial laceration, a big, haunted white house, and a set of electronic biceps.

What in the first 40 years of his life made Benjamin Franklin the genius he became? Benjamin Franklin serves as a great window on to the early American past because as a man of “variety” he pursued many interests: literature, poetry, science, business, philosophy, philanthropy, and politics. But one aspect of Franklin’s life has gone largely unstudied: his childhood and early life. Nick Bunker, author of Young Benjamin Franklin: The Birth of Ingenuity, joins us to explore Benjamin Franklin’s early life and how family, childhood, and youthful experiences shaped him as a scientist and diplomat.

In The Loyal Son, award-winning historian Daniel Mark Epstein throws the spotlight on one of the more enigmatic aspects of Franklin’s biography: his complex and confounding relationship with his illegitimate son William. When he was twenty-four, Franklin fathered a child with a woman who was not his wife. He adopted the boy, raised him, and educated him to be his aide. Ben and William became inseparable. After the famous kite-in-a-thunderstorm experiment, it was William who proved that the electrical charge in a lightning bolt travels from the ground up, not from the clouds down. On a diplomatic mission to London, it was William who charmed London society. He was invited to walk in the procession of the coronation of George III; Ben was not. The outbreak of the American Revolution caused a devastating split between father and son. By then, William was royal governor of New Jersey, while Ben was one of the foremost champions of American independence. In 1776, the Continental Congress imprisoned William for treason. George Washington made efforts to win William’s release, while his father, to the world’s astonishment, appeared to have abandoned him to his fate. Daniel Mark Epstein is the author of biographies of Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman, Aimee Semple McPherson, Nat King Cole, and Edna St. Vincent Millay, as well as nine volumes of poetry. His verse has appeared in The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and The Paris Review, among other publications. The American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded Epstein the Rome Prize in 1977 and an Arts and Letters Award in 2006. Daniel Mark Epstein lives in Baltimore. Description courtesy of Ballantine Books.

Just how personal was the American Revolution? What could the event and war mean for individual people and families? Daniel Mark Epstein, author of The Loyal Son: The War in Ben Franklin’s House, guides as as we explore what the Revolution meant for Benjamin Franklin and his family and how the Revolution caused a major rift between Franklin and his beloved son, William.

  Anna Jarvis organized the first observance of Mother's Day in 1908 and campaigned to have the holiday adopted throughout the country. But her next four decades were filled with bitterness and acrimony as she watched her "holy day" devolve into a "burdensome, wasteful, expensive gift-day." In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast, we'll follow the evolution of Mother's Day and Jarvis' belligerent efforts to control it. We'll also meet a dog that flummoxed the Nazis and puzzle over why a man is fired for doing his job too well. Intro: For its December 1897 issue, The Strand engaged three acrobats to create a "human alphabet." In 1989 researchers discovered a whale in the Pacific that calls at 52 hertz -- the only one of its kind.

Hey everybody! This week is the last episode of the summer schedule. September 14th, we will resume with our weekly podcast episodes. You won't want to miss the upcoming episode. You will get a front row seat of one couple's journey of saying yes to the mission of God. God T-boned them out of the blue, asking them to resign from their successful ministry as local church pastors and move to a particular country and become missionaries. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss it. In this week's podcast, we explore the lessons that I learned from the life of Aimee Semple McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Church. Last week I read a book called Aimee Semple McPherson and the Resurrection of Christian America by Matthew Sutton and it got me thinking about the complex life of Aimee Semple McPherson. Aimee is regularly rated as one of the most influential women in American history and in Christian history. There is no doubt that this woman impacted the world. Here is what I have learned from her: Bringing Glory to Jesus Christ is Job Number One Preaching Salvation and Serving Human Needs Go Hand in Hand We are to be Passionately balanced in the Spirit filled life There is power in the Word of God. The Centrality of Local Churches Training and Releasing New Leaders is Essential for long term success Use all means to reach all people The Glory of God is seen in Jars of Clay. Strong Leaders need Strong Leaders. Boundaries are friends. Enjoy the show!
