In this MMM episode, I'm joined by Ann Furedi and Leah Libresco Sargeant to discuss the question “is access to legal abortion essential to women's flourishing?”Ann is a writer, activist, author of the book ‘The Moral Case for Abortion' and the former chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, the largest abortion provider in the UK.Leah is the author of ‘The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto' and also of the Substack ‘Other Feminisms.'

To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveWe need to get better at asking for help.So argues author Leah Libresco Sargeant in her new book, The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. The core thesis of the book is that “women's equality with men doesn't depend on their interchangeability with men.” But the book also has many insights that apply to men as well as women. All of us need to get better at asking for help. Hosting this episode are Shadi Hamid and Christine Emba, who each bring their political perspectives to bear upon the conversation. Christine asks Leah whether the physical differences between the sexes affect the scope of political equality. Shadi asks whether Leah's practical proposals, which are rooted in her religious convictions, are feasible in a contemporary society formed by modern ideas. The conversation also touches upon the limits of personal autonomy, as well as the recent discussions about the so-called “feminization” of the workplace. In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Leah discusses her conversion to Catholicism from atheism; whether or not religion factors into her thinking about the morality of abortion; different strategies for asking for help; why it's better to ask for help first before you offer help to someone else; and more!Required Reading:* Leah Libresco Sargeant, The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto (Amazon).* Leah Libresco Sargeant's Substack, Other Feminisms.* Leah Libresco Sargeant, Building the Benedict Option: A Guide to Gathering Two or Three Together in His Name (Amazon).* Christine, Rethinking Sex: A Provocation (Amazon). * Shadi and Kristina Tabor Saccone, “Provocation: Am I Unhappy Because I'm Unmarried?” (WoC). * Helen Andrews, “The Great Feminization” (Compact).

In the final chapter of The Scarcity Trap, we ask the most important question: Now that we know the psychology, what do we do? Host Danny argues that for decades, anti-poverty efforts have suffered from a massive "psychological blind spot," often creating systems that tax bandwidth and erode dignity. This episode lays out a new vision for building solutions, centered on three core principles of "Designing for Dignity": Free Bandwidth, Don't Tax It: The revolutionary psychological impact of unconditional cash transfers and why trusting people with money is so effective. Build On-Ramps, Not Obstacle Courses: The importance of simplicity and removing the "administrative burdens" that prevent people from accessing the help they need. Foster Connection, Don't Isolate: Why the most successful programs are those that intentionally build social capital and community support. We conclude the series with a powerful call to shift our perspective from one of judgment to one of empathy and understanding, armed with the scientific knowledge to build a more compassionate and effective world.

The Parables of Jesus: Justice as Restored Dignity (Matthew 20:1-16) - Pastor Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard Summary: In this message on Matthew 20:1–16, Pastor Donnell revisits the workers-in-the-vineyard parable with fresh eyes. Rather than reading it through an hourly-wage fairness lens, he reframes the story around God's justice as mercy, compassion, and restored dignity. The landowner's repeated trips—at dawn, 9 a.m., noon, 3 p.m., and even 5 p.m.—are not about efficiency but about refusing to leave anyone unseen, unchosen, or ashamed in the “unemployment line” of the marketplace. Each return, Pastor Donnell says, is a small act of salvation: an invitation into purpose, belonging, and worth. The tension erupts at payday when latecomers receive a full day's wage and early workers protest, “You made them equal to us.” Pastor Donnell names what's exposed: a meritocratic worldview where value is measured by productivity and grace feels like injustice. But the landowner's gentle reply—“Friend… are you envious because I am generous?”—widens the frame. In God's kingdom, justice is not a narrow calculus of equal treatment; it is the restoration of those humiliated by exclusion. This is generous justice: respect, dignity, and a living provision that answers the real needs of real people. Pastor Donnell closes pastorally: notice where you feel like a late-day worker—unseen, left behind, still waiting at the gate. Invite God, the generous landowner, into that space. Ask him to call you “friend” and to remind you that your worth has never been measured by productivity or performance. In a world of competing kingdoms—merit versus mercy—Jesus reveals a God who does not demand but gives, who lifts up the overlooked, and who will not end the day with anyone still standing alone.

Have you ever said your child, “Don't yell at your brother!” If so, were you yelling? What's happening in a child's body filled with angry is louder than what's going on in their brain. As Christi says in this episode, “Our body sends 10 messages to our brain for every 1 our brain sends to our body.” In other words, our body speaks louder than our brain. So why have we stopped listening to the body? What's actually going in our child's body in their anger? What's happening on our body in our anger? And why, for our children, is loving touch the most powerful way for the body to know “felt safety?”As we close out season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids, Christi answers these questions and shares why the body protects our children anytime there is a threat to their connection, belonging, safety, and dignity. She also explains how we as parents can help our kids restore felt safety and why these principles will be an integral part of KidsRQ.Time Stamps:0:00 KidsRQ and body-based tools3:00 Why the body matters for healing5:20 The tripartite God and what it means for us created in His image9:12 How the nervous system and emotions protect children17:47 Relating to our kids on earth as in heaven21:52 Moving emotion through your body25:27 Ways to learn this through Famous at Home Show Notes: Sign up for a free trial of KidsRQ! https://www.kidsrq.com Join KidsRQ at the Founding Members rate: https://www.kidsrq.com Interested in Tender & Fierce?

Could a reverse mortgage be a widow's best friend?Since women typically outlive men, many will one day carry the financial load alone. Today, Harlan Accola joins us to explain how reverse mortgages have changed and why they can offer widows stability, dignity, and confidence for the years ahead.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement.The Longevity ChallengeMany people still carry outdated assumptions about reverse mortgages. Some believe they're risky or predatory—especially for widows. However, over the years, these products have undergone significant evolution, incorporating new safeguards that make them a secure and compassionate option for many older adults, particularly surviving spouses.Women tend to outlive their husbands, often by several years. That creates what financial professionals call longevity risk—the challenge of stretching resources over a longer life. Couples frequently plan their finances assuming they'll live out retirement together, but the reality is that many widows face 2–10 years of life on their own, often with reduced income.For many, a reverse mortgage can bridge that gap. By allowing homeowners age 62 and older to access the equity in their homes without monthly payments, it provides a steady income—especially for those who want to remain in their homes.The reputation of reverse mortgages has improved dramatically since the early days. When the FHA introduced the program in 1988, some borrowers made unwise choices—like removing their spouse from the home title—which left surviving spouses vulnerable.Thankfully, that changed in 2013. Federal law now requires that both spouses be listed on the loan and protected by it. This safeguard ensures that a widow can remain in her home for as long as she wishes, without fear of foreclosure or forced sale.Dignity and Security for the Years AheadWhen a husband passes, household income often drops by around 40%. If a traditional mortgage payment remains, that financial burden can force a widow to sell her home. A reverse mortgage eliminates that risk by converting home equity into income—allowing her to stay in the place she loves, surrounded by memories, with dignity and financial stability.For widows, that security is invaluable. It turns a house into a lasting home, ensuring that the twilight years can be lived not in fear, but in peace.To learn more about whether a reverse mortgage could benefit your situation, visit Movement.com/Faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm trying to find information about a Christian savings and loan, but I haven't been able to get the contact details. Can you point me in the right direction?I don't feel like I have enough savings to handle a real emergency. I'm working both full-time and part-time jobs just to keep up with bills, plus I'm trying to pay off student loans and credit cards. I feel stretched thin and don't know what to do next.I called before about my advisor and wanted to give you an update. Now I have a question: I have a 401(k), a traditional IRA, and a Roth IRA—each with about $100,000. When I retire, do I need to withdraw from one before the others, or is there a better strategy for taking distributions?I recently changed jobs and left my 401(k) with my former employer, which is now closing its doors. Should I roll that money into my new job's plan or transfer it elsewhere? I'm not very familiar with managing investments myself.I currently have a moderate growth account with a steady income, but I'm considering withdrawing the funds. Would CDs be a safe place to move that money, or do you have other suggestions?I need help finding affordable health insurance on a limited income. I have some past health issues, and I'm worried about being penalized.

Investing isn't just about returns—it's about reflecting what we truly value.Our faith is meant to guide every area of life, including how we invest. When our hearts are set on God, our investing reflects His priorities—caring for creation, serving our neighbor, and letting what we treasure shape how we steward His resources. Tim Macready joins us today to talk about a “theology of investing.”Tim Macready is Head of Global Advisory at BrightLight, a division of EverSource Wealth Advisors. A Theology of Investing: Bringing Faith to Financial DecisionsMost people view investing as a financial act—an attempt to grow wealth, manage risk, or secure a comfortable future. Yet Scripture invites us to see investing as something much deeper: a spiritual act rooted in stewardship, love, and worship.A theology of investing reimagines financial activity not as separate from faith but as an expression of it. It calls believers to bring their heart, head, and hands together, transforming investing from a pursuit of profit into a practice of discipleship.Theology simply means the study of God and how what we learn about Him shapes the way we live. Applied to investing, it means aligning financial decisions with biblical truths about creation, stewardship, and love for neighbor.Faith is not only a matter of belief—it's a matter of lived action. When we view investing through this lens, we begin to see it as part of our calling to manage God's resources wisely and to use them in ways that bring about human flourishing and reflect His goodness.The Creation Mandate and the Purpose of InvestingThe story begins in Genesis 1–2. Out of His divine goodness, God creates a world filled with potential and beauty, then entrusts humanity with the task of cultivating and developing what He made.Investing participates in that same creation mandate. It takes the resources God has provided and reallocates them so that they become productive—fueling innovation, creating jobs, and contributing to the flourishing of communities. Financial returns become a byproduct of faithful stewardship rather than the sole objective.Through investing, believers join God in bringing order, beauty, and abundance to His creation.Some assume investing is little more than glorified gambling, but the two could not be more different. Gambling is speculation—a zero-sum pursuit driven by chance. Investing, on the other hand, is a form of stewardship. It seeks to grow what God has entrusted by putting resources to work productively in the service of others.Faithful investing recognizes that capital is not an end in itself but a tool for participating in God's creative and redemptive work in the world.Loving God and Neighbor Through InvestmentWhen Jesus summarized the law, He tied together two inseparable commands: love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37–39). Investing offers a tangible way to live out both.By directing capital toward enterprises that meet real needs, create employment, and improve lives, investors can participate in the biblical call to love their neighbor. Investing becomes a form of generosity—an intentional choice to place capital at risk so that others may benefit and communities may thrive.When guided by love, investing ceases to be a self-focused pursuit and becomes a practice of service and shared flourishing.In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That truth reveals not only that our spending reflects what we love, but also that our hearts are shaped by where we invest.Our financial choices form us. Every investment helps build something—industries, technologies, and cultures. Those choices shape what we value and the kind of world we participate in creating.If the heart is anchored in Christ, investing becomes a means to align one's desires with discipleship, ensuring that financial growth serves God's purposes and the good of others.In modern markets, investing often feels impersonal. Index funds and digital platforms can make financial activity seem detached from real lives. Yet every investment still represents a relationship—people on both sides working, creating, and depending on one another.Recovering this relational awareness reminds believers that investing is not merely an economic transaction. It's a moral and spiritual act that affects individuals and communities made in God's image.From Portfolio to WorshipScripture consistently warns of wealth's dangers—not because money itself is evil, but because it so easily tempts us to trust it instead of God. As C.S. Lewis observed, the comforts wealth provides can dull our sense of dependence on the Lord.Greed, the Bible says, is a form of idolatry (Colossians 3:5). When money becomes our source of security, it quietly replaces the Provider Himself. Biblical investing begins with the opposite conviction: everything belongs to God, and we remain utterly dependent on Him for every good gift.A single strategy or product does not define faithful investing. It is marked by intent—by the desire to align financial decisions with God's purposes.That may mean avoiding investments that exploit others or harm creation, or seeking out opportunities that promote dignity, justice, and flourishing. Sometimes it might even mean accepting lower returns for the sake of love.Ultimately, profit is more than numbers on a page—it represents the fruit of faithful stewardship in a mutually beneficial exchange that honors God and blesses others.When believers see investing as part of their discipleship, it transforms the act itself. No longer about accumulation, it becomes about participation—joining God's ongoing work of renewal in the world.Faithful investing asks deeper questions:How does this investment serve my neighbor?How does it reflect the beauty and justice of God's Kingdom?How does it shape my heart toward or away from Christ?When those questions guide our portfolios, investing becomes more than a financial decision—it becomes an act of worship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking to tap into my home's equity to cover some needed repairs. My roof is nearly 20 years old, and the house also needs painting. I owe approximately $167,000, and the home is valued at around $375,000. I found a company that offers a credit card tied to home equity—no upfront cost —and they claim approval takes only 15 minutes. What do you think about this option?I have two kids in their early and mid-20s, and I'm encouraging them to start investing in a Roth IRA, even if it's just a small amount. Where can they open one without high fees eating into their contributions?

This month we've explored modular construction from the ground up — financing, DIY systems, community scale, and stigma-busting. But in this episode, we step into the human soul of modular housing. Architect-engineer Charles Bloszies brings a fresh, humanitarian lens to offsite construction. He doesn't just build units—he designs legacies. Chuck's work in transitional, interim housing and his hybrid modular / prefabricated approach reveal how design, context, and care can distinguish mere shelter from a sanctuary.What makes this episode different:We explore how modular can restore dignity, especially in homelessness response.Rather than technology-first, we center mission-first design philosophy.We talk about coordination risk, vendor realities, and hybrid systems — not just ideal scenarios.We consider architecture as a contributor to community fabric, legacy, and calm environments.Key Takeaways:4:12 — The philosophical shift: modular as a tool for dignity, not just efficiency.7:43 — Collaboration is essential: architects, vendors, planners, community all at the table.10:09 — The origin story: how Chuck's wife's hospital work sparked his social housing focus.13:02 — The Redwood City modular project: a 240-bed modular housing campus and lessons from the field.17:01 — The horizon: hybrid systems and mass timber as modular tools of the future.21:03 — Micro touches that matter: “mean design” vs. nurturing materials, corner windows in small units.Connect with Charles:Website: https://archengine.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-bloszies-3956748Email Address: chuck@archengine.com Connect with Corwyn:Contact Number: 843-619-3005Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exitstrategiesradioshow/FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/exitstrategiessc/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxoSuynJd5c4qQ_eDXLJaZAWebsite: https://www.exitstrategiesradioshow.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmelette/Shoutout to our Sponsor: Mellifund Capital, LLCNeed funding for your next real estate flip or build?

If you don't know Ari, he co-founded Zingerman's in Ann Arbor and helped grow a single deli into a whole community of businesses including a bakehouse, coffee shop, candy store, ZingTrain, and more, without losing soul. That's rare.We cover a lot, but here are the big beats, human-sized:From Dishes to DirectionAri didn't plan a career in food. He connected with great people, put in the work, and eventually discovered the power of writing a clear, story-based vision, not just a spreadsheet of goals.It's All One LifeSelf-awareness isn't a side project.

Ari argues the opposite: tell a vivid story of where you're going, build simple systems that help people win, and practice dignity, especially when you're tired.

Hello Latino USA Listeners! We’re excited to share a special episode from our friend, Honey German from Gracias, Come Again. Honey sits down with the legendary Maria Hinojosa - an award-winning journalist whose career began in 1993 with one clear mission: to make Latinos visible. From her early days in radio to founding Futuro Media and leading Latino USA, Maria has spent decades amplifying our stories and holding power accountable. Maria opens up about her fight to ensure the current administration doesn’t silence her voice or her initiatives, why she and Futuro Media reject terms like “minority” and “illegal,” and why she’s calling on Latino journalists to take responsibility for how they represent our community in the news. As she reminds us, “Basic due process is being tested on our backs!” But it’s not all heavy they also share laughs about life with her Dominican husband, how she keeps herself fit and grounded, and the passion that continues to drive her work. This episode is both a masterclass in journalism and a powerful reminder of what it means to fight for visibility, dignity, and truth. ✊
