On September 18, 1895, Booker T. Washington delivered his renowned "Atlanta Compromise" speech, also referred to as the "Atlanta Exposition Speech," during the opening of the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia. Serving as the founder and president of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (which is now known as Tuskegee University), Washington achieved the historic milestone of being the first African-American man to address a racially diverse Southern audience. In his address, he imparted a message of hope, urging those of his race to focus on improving their conditions in their current surroundings and fostering amicable relationships with the Southern white community. Washington's philosophy emphasized self-help, political gradualism, and accommodation as a means to address racial tensions, resonating with both white and Black Americans who were fatigued by the violence and turmoil of the Reconstruction era in the South. Dr. Sarah Washington O'Neal Rush, as the great-granddaughter of Booker T. Washington, draws profound inspiration from her great-grandfather's enduring legacy and his unwavering commitment to personal development, empowerment, and education. This inspiration fuels her latest endeavor, the launch of a character education and leadership workbook/curriculum titled "16 Success Principles: Being, Growing, Leading, Soaring," slated for release this fall. This curriculum is designed to empower and educate teens and young adults and will be accessible to community-based organizations, schools, and institutions dedicated to working with this demographic. Dr. Rush will join Tavis to engage in a discussion encompassing the intricacies of the new 16 Success Principles curriculum, her journey of discovering her remarkable family legacy, and the indelible imprint she believes her great-grandfather left on the nation through his enduring vision and principles.

If all there was to go on were sitcoms, movies, and mainstream editorials, we'd have to conclude that marriage is a direct path to misery, the “old ball and chain” that only ties us down, limits our freedom, and cramps our sexual fun. Many people now think of marriage less as “settling down” and more as “settling.” Young people are told, “You've got plenty of time, live a little, first,” as if life ends after the wedding.   The truth about marriage, however, is that it is, statistically, the single best predictor of long-term happiness. Making this even more important to understand is that for at least the last 20 years now, Americans have been steadily getting less happy.    Writing at UnHerd, sociologist Brad Wilcox and the Institute for Family Studies' David Bass point to new research from the University of Chicago that suggests that “Americans who are married with children are now leading happier and more prosperous lives, on average, than men and women who are single and childless.” And not just a little bit happier, either. According to Wilcox and Bass there is a “startling 30-percentage-point happiness divide between married and unmarried Americans.”  In other words, the happiness divide and the marriage divide are largely the same. Sam Peltzman, lead researcher behind the University of Chicago paper, isolated all other factors among thousands of respondents, including income, education, race, location, age, and gender. He concluded that “the most important differentiator” when it comes to who is happy and who is not is marriage. “Low happiness characterizes all types of non-married,” Peltzman writes, whether divorced, widowed, or never married. “No subsequent population categorization will yield so large a difference in happiness across so many people.”  In other words, the decline of marriage over the last several decades is causing the decline in happiness, or at least most of it. As Peltzman told The Atlantic in statistical hyperbole: “The only happy people for 50 years have been married people.”   Olga Khazan, who wrote the Atlantic piece and has been cohabiting with her partner for 15 years, says these stats also struck her as counterintuitive. However, she then admits that “this is a fairly consistent finding dating back decades in social-science research: Married people are happier. Period.”  Of course, happiness isn't the sole or even the best reason to get married. Many things in life carry deep meaning and significance that don't necessarily make us happy. A life lived only for happiness is a futile “chasing after the wind.” Enduring suffering, overcoming trials and tragedy, or sacrificing time, energy, or even our lives for others are all richly worthwhile pursuits that yield rewards in eternity. Certainly, loving someone and raising godly children is worth it, even if it's not always fun.   And we should note, “happiness” is a malleable word. When survey participants say being married or having children made them “happy,” they may often mean that these permanent connections give them lasting joy, something more profound than fleeting happiness, which surveys seldom quantify.      Still, these consistently stark results are unmistakable. They should challenge the entire way of thinking in sitcoms, movies, and editorials. Marriage is one of the chief sources of wellbeing and satisfaction in life. The fact that marriage rates have declined so dramatically over the last 50 years has had real, population-wide consequences.  Because the reasons people are not marrying at the same rates are so complex, different solutions will be required to raise the marriage rate. According to Wilcox and Bass, one of the most important reasons is the fact that, for many Americans who are living together and may already have children, getting married incurs a tax “penalty.” The federal government needs to, in their words, stop “making marriage a bad financial bet for lower-income families.”   That would be a good start. Ultimately, however, our bad laws are reinforced by a low view of marriage that has infected hearts and minds via entertainment, media, culture, and individual choices. We have a worldview problem, which has led to a conflict between the values and priorities of millions of people and the way they were actually created to live.   Marriage is part of God's plan for humanity and for His creation. No other human institution forges such lasting and consequential bonds. So, it should surprise no one—least of all Christians—that our nation's 50-year experiment with alternatives to marriage has left huge numbers of people deeply unhappy. Thanks to social science, we know the solution. The question now, for each of us and for all of society, is whether we're willing to commit.   This Breakpoint was co-authored by Shane Morris.

Most of us learn better from questions than from lessons.    There's a game people play… “What would it take to make you happy?” Usually, the question comes with a dollar amount… don't fall for it! Here's a hint: “How much” never equals “happy.”   So, where do we find enduring happiness? As we kick off a new series, “Four Questions for a Better You,” Pastor Ben starts with that one question that will lead you there.   First time listening to our podcast?

15-year-old Austin Kahn passed away from a terminal brain tumor just days after his birthday. For his parents, Christopher and Jeanette Kahn, unity and good communication in the middle of tragedy helped keep their family together, even as it was falling apart. In this second part of a two-part series, Jeanette and Christopher share how their family learned to process and grieve the loss of their son. Together, they discuss the lessons of courage, determination, and acceptance Austin exemplified and the good work the parents are doing in Austin's memory through the “Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.”  Even though we live in challenging times, we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another's experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie's husband, Major Brent Taylor, was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.  Listen to the Relentlessly Resilient Podcast regularly on your favorite platform, at kslpodcasts.com, kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL NewsRadio App. Join the Resilience conversation on Facebook at @RelentlesslyResilient and Instagram @RelentlesslyResilientPodcast.

“Do you struggle to find happiness in yourself or in your relationships? Do you have issues with your physical or mental health such as fatigue, anxiety, sleep problems, addictions or depression? Do you feel emotionally numb, or are you unable to truly feel your emotions?” Perhaps you should consider how your early life experiences shaped you into the person you are today. In this hour, Tavis is joined by Alex Howard, author of the new book It's Not Your Fault: Why Childhood Trauma Shapes You and How to Break Free (just out yesterday, September 12) for a conversation on the intricate interplay between our past and present selves and how we can break free from the chains of childhood trauma.

If, like John MacArthur, your ministry is going to endure for more than a half-century, you need to know how to navigate doctrinal disagreements within your local congregation and with other pastors, churches, and Christian leaders. To do that well, you have to know how to prioritize doctrine and practice what's often been called theological triage. See how John MacArthur has practiced this kind of triage and kept his ministry doctrinally pure by focusing on what he calls the Drivetrain. This is episode one of season 3 of the MacArthur Center podcast.
