Genesis 2:18 reveals an important truth about God’s design for humanity: we were created for community. In this devotional, Laura Bailey explores the beauty and difficulty of relationships, especially within Christian friendships and church communities. While human relationships can be messy, painful, and disappointing, God never intended believers to walk through life alone. From the very beginning, God established companionship and community as part of His good design for His people. This devotional reminds Christians that although conflict, hurt, and misunderstanding are inevitable in relationships, isolation is not the answer. Throughout Scripture, from Adam and Eve to the early church in Acts, God consistently calls His people to worship, grow, encourage, and persevere together. Community strengthens faith, provides accountability, and reflects the love of Christ as believers extend grace and forgiveness to one another despite imperfections. Highlights God created people to live in relationship and community. Genesis 2:18 shows that isolation was never part of God’s design. Christian friendships and church relationships can sometimes be painful and messy. Believers are called to extend grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Community provides encouragement, accountability, and spiritual growth. The early church thrived through worship and life together. Walking away from Christian community is not God’s solution to hurt. Do you want to listen ad-free?

I will make a helper suitable for him.” - Genesis 2:18 NIVI could tell by the slump in my daughter’s shoulders as she walked towards the car that something was wrong. The slamming of the vehicle door, accompanied by an aggressive sigh, confirmed my suspicions. While it is not unusual for my middle school daughter to offer little to our conversation on our ride home, today, it was radio silent. As I turned into the driveway, I told her we weren't going inside until we talked about what was going on. “I am done with friends! I am better off alone!” she exclaimed. My momma’s heart immediately dropped. For many years, we avoided friendship drama, but I knew sooner or later it would weasel its way into our lives. As she regaled the events of the day, I nodded my head in solidarity, held her in my arms, and tried to offer ( to no avail, raising a middle school daughter is tough!) words of comfort. Holding back tears, she asked, “Mom, why would they act this way? They are supposed to be my friends, my Christian friends.” Whew – while the surface-level answer is not complicated to diagnose, the root cause of conflict is a bit harder to digest. I think we’ve all been there. I am 40 years old, and I still ask the same question. Relationships are complicated, no matter what stage of life you're in. The reality is that our relationships with other believers are, unfortunately, some of the most difficult. And, if I am honest, I’ve had the same sentiment as my daughter, “I don’t need these people, I am better off alone.” Especially when it comes to the church. Likely, you don’t need to be convinced of the messiness of worshiping with saints who act more like sinners. Like most things, it is easier for us to focus on the negative aspects of our churches than on the positives. During the season I mentioned above, while there were people in the church walls who caused me affliction, there were also members who brought me great joy, comfort, and encouragement. While I don’t excuse the harm caused by fellow Christians, I must also acknowledge that I’ve intentionally and unintentionally inflicted hurt on my church family, too. And just as I hoped they’d give me the opportunity for forgiveness and reconciliation, I need to do the same. As we say in the south, “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Simply put, mess and all, life is better together.We see in Genesis 1 that God declares His creation “good” (Genesis 1:25). However, when He created man, He proclaims humanity is “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Humans are the climax of the creation story, the most cherished possession of the Lord. Created in God’s image, we are the reflection of our Creator, and it’s not just good, but very good. However, God looks at Adam's singleness and declares, “it is not good for man to be alone ( Genesis 2:18). What was God’s solution: a companion, an Ezer in the original Hebrew, a helpmate for Adam. With Adam and Eve’s union, we see the first example of human community; however, the idea of living in a group is prevalent throughout Scripture, as exemplified by the Jewish Nation, a people set apart by God. (Exodus 19:3-6) While they had an individual responsibility to keep these commands, God is addressing the collective body of the Israelites. Think of it as a built-in accountability. God wanted the Israelites to understand that they needed each other, not just to meet their physical needs, or make life easier, but to strengthen and encourage one another in the faith. Then, in the New Testament, we see examples of early Christians gathered in community in Acts 2:1-4 and Acts 2:42-47. Christians gathered while the Spirit rested on them individually; corporately, they worshiped and praised the Lord. And the early church grew because of its strong ties to living in community and corporate worship.As tempting as it might be to abandon corporate worship, walking away from community worship is not the answer. God created humans for community; we need each other. Let’s embrace the imperfect body of believers as we stand united in the perfectness of Christ.Intersecting Faith & Life:Have you experienced the messiness of human relationships? How does knowing God created you for community help you to forgive offenses and embrace imperfect people with grace and love?Further Reading: Hebrews 10:24-25 What Does the Bible Say About Love in Action?

Az OTP friss negyedéves jelentéséről lesz szó, amit ma hajnalban publikáltak. Ebből az rajzolódik ki, hogy csoportszinten erős maradt a teljesítmény, közben viszont a magyar különadók és rendkívüli terhek miatt a profit visszaesett. A menedzsment abban bízik, hogy a veszélyhelyzeti időszak lezárultával az extraprofitadó is kifuthat: így különösen izgalmas kérdés, hogy a friss számok tükrében merre indulhat a részvényárfolyam: erről Nagy Viktort, a Portfolio vezető részvénypiaci elemzőjét kérdezzük.

Sermon Notes: The Dominion Mandate Of The Woman Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:18, Proverbs 31. I. The Co-Equal Mandate Genesis 1:27-28: God created man in His own image—male and female. He blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... and have dominion." Dominion is Gender-Neutral: The authority to rule over the earth was not given to the man alone. Women carry the same "Dominion DNA" and creative capacity as men. Identity in Christ: A woman's value is first found in her creation in the image of God, not her marital status or societal role. II. Redefining the "Helper" (Ezer) The Hebrew Meaning of "Help Meet": The word Ezer used in Genesis 2:18 is the same word used to describe God as our "Helper" (Psalm 121:1-2). Not a Subordinate, but a Strength: A helper is not someone who is less capable; rather, they are someone who possesses the specific strength or resources that are currently missing. Strategic Partnership: The woman was created to bring completion and "surround" the man with wisdom, support, and spiritual insight to ensure the divine purpose is achieved. III. The Power of Influence and "Building" The Architect of the Home: "The wise woman builds her house" (Proverbs 14:1). Rev. Okronipa stresses that a woman's influence can either establish or dismantle a legacy. Spiritual Intuition: Women are often gifted with a unique spiritual sensitivity and discernment that is vital for protecting the family and the church from the enemy's tactics. Maternal Dominion: Dominion is expressed through nurturing, teaching, and shaping the next generation of leaders. IV. Overcoming Cultural and Religious Limitations Breaking the "Silence": The preacher addresses historical misinterpretations of scripture used to suppress women's voices, noting that in Christ, "there is neither male nor female" regarding spiritual inheritance (Galatians 3:28). The Deborah Anointing: Just as Deborah was a judge, prophetess, and mother in Israel, modern women are called to lead in professional, spiritual, and social spheres. Resisting Inferiority: A woman must refuse to see herself as "second-class." If God has called her to a task, He has authorized her to lead in it. V. Conclusion: Walking in Full Authority Fruitfulness: Women are called to be productive in their careers, businesses, and ministries. Multiplication: Taking what is small and making it great through the power of the Holy Spirit. Subduing: Taking authority over chaos and bringing the order of the Kingdom of God into every environment they enter. Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that I am a woman of dominion. I am not an afterthought; I am a divine necessity. I walk in the authority given to me by God to build, to fruitify, and to rule. I break every limitation off my life and step into my full mandate in Jesus' name. Amen."

After them Zadok the son of Immer repaired opposite his own house. After him Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the East Gate, repaired. After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah repaired opposite his chamber. After him Malchijah, one of the goldsmiths, repaired as far as the house of the temple servants and of the merchants, opposite the Muster Gate, and to the upper chamber of the corner. And between the upper chamber of the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and the merchants repaired.

Is your marriage building on a solid foundation or shifting sand? Most couples want a "Godly marriage," but they try to build it without reading the Manual. In this episode, Nathan and Andrea Warnock explore the vital discipline of Bible study...not as a religious chore, but as a strategic necessity. We discuss the move from "Check-the-Box" Christianity to a "Living Liturgy," the importance of personal spiritual intake for both the Head and the Ezer, and how to overcome the "awkward gap" to study effectively as a team. If you want your home to be a mission instead of a management crisis, it's time to get bound by the Book. Marriage By Design is a channel dedicated to digging into God's design for marriage and family - as well as talking practically live that out in our marriages and families. Our goal is to leave you encouraged that you CAN do marriage and family by God's design and to give you HOPE that God IS FOR YOUR MARRIAGE AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

"Tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums. Tāpēc es tur esmu," – tik skaisti par savu darbu teic Mūzikas nama "Daile" direktore Anda Zadovska, kura 4. maijā kļūs par Atzinības krusta komandieri.  Par bērnību pilī un brīvdienām pie jūras, par radošu prieku un izaicinājumiem, vadot privātu koncertzāli, uzzinām šajā skaistajā sarunā, uz kuru Andu aicinājusi "Klasikas" direktore Gunda Vaivode.  Gunda Vaivode: Anda, 4. maijā Rīgas pilī Valsts prezidents tev pasniegs Atzinības krustu, un tu kļūsi par tā komandieri. Šo apbalvojumu pasniedz godaprāta ļaudīm par izcilu Tēvijas mīlestību un sevišķiem nopelniem valsts, sabiedriskajā, kultūras, zinātnes, sporta un izglītības darbā. Kopš izziņošanas brīža "Latvijas Vēstnesī" pagājis jau labs laiciņš. Kas tevi apsveica pirmais?  Anda Zadovska: Pirmā īsziņa atnāca neilgi pirms pusnakts, un to man atsūtīja Valmieras teātra direktore Evita Sniedze [Ašeradena]. Paskatījos, bet nereaģēju, jo, ņemot vērā, ka ceļos piecos un eju gulēt deviņos vai desmitos vakarā, nodomāju, ka tas nav nekas svarīgs. Pēc tam atnāca otra īsziņa – to atsūtīja Rafaels Ciekurs no Neatliekamās medicīniskās palīdzības dienesta. Domāju – nē, kaut kas tur riktīgi nav! Viņš rakstīja, ka sveic mani kā Atzinības krusta komandieri. Tas laikam bija 1. aprīlis, un man likās, ka varbūt kāds joko. Bet rezultātā, protams, visu nakti nevarēju gulēt… Vai esi jau apdomājusi, ko teiksi savā atbildes runā?  Apdomājusi esmu, bet līdz galam vēl nē. Tas noteikti nebūs kaut kas garš. Tas ir ļoti nopietns pasākums, un man vēl ir laiks. Bet izlasot šī apbalvojuma devīzi – "Godaprāta ļaudīm" – es, protams, ļoti cenšos. Jūtos ārkārtīgi pagodināta...  "Godaprāta ļaudis – pirmkārt iedomājos par saviem vecvecākiem" Formulējums tiešām ir ļoti skaists – godaprāta ļaudis. Vai šajā kontekstā esi iedomājusies par saviem senčiem?  Jā, pirmkārt iedomājos par saviem vecvecākiem. Lielu daļu bērnības pavadīju pie viņiem Ezerē, tas ir tieši pie Lietuvas robežas. Tie bija mammas vecāki, kurus, kā jau daudzus latviešus, 1949. gadā izsūtīja uz Sibīriju. Arī mammu, trīsgadīgu bērnu… Viņi bija saimnieki?  Nē! Tur tas interesantākais, ka tieši no tēta puses vecvecāki bija lielsaimnieki ar simt hektāriem Sēlijā. Tētis staigāja jūrnieka kostīmiņā, kalpi apkārt. Arī viņi bija sarakstos, bet viņiem kāds to bija pateicis, un viņi no izsūtīšanas paglābās, aizbēgot mežā. Bet izsūtīja tieši manas mammas vecvecākus Frici un Emmu no Ezeres, jo Fricis negribēja stāties kolhozā. Kaimiņš viņu nodeva, un viņiem nācās gandrīz desmit gadus pavadīt Sibīrijā. Tie ir lielākie godaprāta ļaudis, kas man pirmie nāk prātā. Jo šiem cilvēkiem divas reizes nācās savu dzīvi sākt no pilnīgas nulles. Vecvecāki paguva atgriezties? Jā, viņi paguva atgriezties, un vēl līdz deviņdesmitajiem gadiem bija klātesoši mūsu dzīvē. Kad es šodien iedomājos... Viņi savu dzīvi sāka Embūtē, Dienvidkurzemē, kur bija tieši Kurzemes katls. Kā viņi stāstīja – tikko bijis bērniņš piedzimis, nāk kāds zaldāts un saka – ātri bēdziet projām, jo tūlīt fronte nāks pāri. Viņi tikko jaunu māju bija uzcēluši… Un vēl pat līdz mežam nebija tikuši, kad tā uzgāja gaisā... Tad vecvecāki aizbrauca uz Ezeri, no kurienes 1949. gadā viņus aizveda uz Sibīriju. Tā ka viņi dabūja pilnīgi no nulles visu dzīvi sākt divas reizes. Bet tas interesantākais un apbrīnojamākais ir tas, ka viņi nekad par to nesūdzējās! Nekad. Viņi bija ļoti gaiši cilvēki, un ļoti daudzi – arī mēs ar māsu Kristīni (Andas māsa ir dziedātāja Kristīne Zadovska – red.) Še ir cilvēki, kas man laikam ir vissvarīgākie.  Bet tu saviem vecākiem piedzimi Dobelē?  Mani vecāki bija skolotāji Zebrenes skolā, kas bija Dobeles rajonā. Dobeles pilsētā mēs nedzīvojām, taču tieši tur abas ar Kristīni esam dzimušas.  Tātad ceriņi ir tavs laiks?  Jā, tieši tā. Esmu arī beigusi Dobeles mūzikas skolu, kas tagad skaisti atjaunota – šķiet, tā šobrīd ir viena no skaistākajām mūzikas skolām Latvijā! Tā ka esam uz Zemgales un Kurzemes robežas. Man liekas – ļoti labs komplekts.  "Savas dzīves pirmos astoņpadsmit gadus esmu dzīvojusi pilī" Bet tavas bērnības lielākais laiks ir pagājis pilī!  Tieši tāda bija mūsu adrese: Jaunpils, un pēdiņās – "Pils". Savas dzīves pirmos astoņpadsmit gadus esmu dzīvojusi tieši pilī. Tas iznāca tā: manu tēti uzaicināja par orķestra vadītāju Jaunpilī, un tā mēs tur nokļuvām. Tur iedeva dzīvokli, un mēs dzīvojām pilī. Nu, tad tu vari iedomāties! Un mamma savukārt kūrēja kultūras dzīvi. Mamma bija Kultūras nama vadītāja, kas atradās tieši zem mūsu dzīvokļa. Čībās uz turieni varējām noiet. Tātad tas laikam gēnu līmenī mani ir ietekmējis… Mamma jūs lika arī pie darba Kultūras nama pasākumos?  Biju apkopēja, un vēl kopā ar tagadējo politiķi Uldi Auguli vadījām pensionāru vakarus. Ļoti aktīvi iesaistījos! Mana sirdslieta gan ir tautas deju kolektīvu vadīšana, jo mana pirmā izglītība ir tieši tautas deju kolektīva vadītāja! Toreiz izdomāju, ka būšu tikai tautas deju kolektīva vadītāja un atgriezīšos Jaunpilī. Mana mamma, protams, bija pilnīgā ārprātā, ka neeju uz augstskolu, un ir tikai deju kolektīvs un Dziesmu svētki. Bet nu – kad apgrozījos Rīgā, sapratu, ka tomēr vajag arī kaut ko citu.  Mammīte ir darbīga joprojām! Jā, mammīte ir darbīga un dzīvo Jaunpilī. Šogad viņai apaļa 80 gadu jubileja, ko svinēsim Jaunpils pilī, Kultūras namā.  "Skolā matemātika man bija stiprākā puse" Tu esi privātas koncertzāles vadītāja. Vai tad, kad gāji studēt Latvijas Universitātes Ekonomikas un vadības fakultātē, tev jau bija kāda nojauta par to, ko gribi darīt? Pilnīgi noteikti tajā brīdī nojauta par privātas koncertzāles izveidošanu nebija. Bet dzīve cilvēku aizved tur, kur viņam jābūt. Man kādreiz likās – ja izlasa manu CV, ir sajūta, ka tas cilvēks tiešām nav zinājis, ko viņš dzīvē grib darīt. Jo tur ir gan flauta, gan tautas deju kolektīvu vadīšana, pa vidu – pedagoģija, un tad ir LU Ekonomikas un vadības fakultāte, kas ir nopietnāka izglītība. Tagad viss komplekts man ļoti labi noder: ja man būtu tikai humanitāra izglītība, nekad dzīvē privātkoncertzāli vadīt nevarētu! Jo galvenā sadaļa šeit ir tā, kā tu to lielo bildi finansiāli vari savilkt kopā. Ikdienā strādājam tūkstoš kvadrātmetru lielā zālē ar nulles dotācijām – viss jānopelna mums pašiem. Lai to varētu izdomāt, ekonomikas zināšanas ir vajadzīgas. Bet matemātika man arī bija stiprākā puse skolā, nevis, piemēram, valodas.  Ko no tevis ikdienā paģēr koncertzāles vadīšana? Tā ir milzīga atbildība. Pirmkārt par cilvēkiem, kuri ir mani darbinieki. Cik tev ir darbinieku? Pamata komandā esam pieci cilvēki: divi tehniskie – Kristers un Artūrs, mana vietniece Ieva, mārketinga vadītāja Betija un cilvēks-orķestris – aizskatuves administrators Kaspars. Vēl ir publiku apkalpojošais personāls. Jā, neesam daudz, neskatoties uz to, ka mums ir ļoti liels skatītāju skaits un notiek daudzi pasākumi. Mēs paši visu darām.  Un kā jūs mērāt savus izmērāmos rezultātus? Tas ir pasākumu skaits, tas ir skatītāju skaits, un tas ir apgrozījums: varam ar to lepoties. jo Latvijas koncertu vietu vidū pēc "Biļešu paradīzes" datiem esam diezgan augstās pozīcijās, augšgalā. Manī bija spīts – pierādīšu, ka to var izdarīt! Pieņemu, ka ne vienmēr esat eiforijā, ka viss sanāk. Eiforijas nav vispār, jo mums taču bija pandēmija, kas likās pilnīgs izmisums. Principā tajā laikā vajadzēja aiztaisīt tās durvis ciet, bet tobrīd manī bija spīts – es tik un tā to noturēšu un pierādīšu, ka to var izdarīt! Kaut patiesībā tas bija diezgan neiespējami ar visiem atceltajiem pasākumiem. Atceros pa datumiem, kā tas viss notika: 11. martā toreiz visu aizvēra, mēs kvalificējāmies visiem atbalstiem, bet saņēmām tos decembrī. Visu laiku ar privātiem aizņēmumiem – kaut kā tā. Arī darbinieki taču bija jānotur – viņi  nebija vainīgi. Tas bija diezgan liels izaicinājums, un arī tagad nevaram rēķināties ne ar ko uz priekšu. Tā ir laime dotētajām iestādēm – ka tās var saplānot vismaz vienu sezonu uz priekšu! Bet es to nevaru, jo nezinu, kādi būs ieņēmumi. Tas atkarīgs tikai no tā. Tagad apkure par janvāri, februāri, martu – komunālo pakalpojumu rēķins ir septiņi tūkstoši! Tagad domājam, ko darīt.  Bet zāles lielākoties vienmēr ir pilnas, biļetes pārdotas ilgu laiku uz priekšu, un tas piedāvājums ir apskaužami daudzveidīgs: tie nav tikai dažādžanru koncerti – tie ir dažādi vakari, un man šķiet, ka tev pašai īpaši mīļi ir dzejnieku vakari.  Man sevišķi tuvi pagājušo gadsimtu mijas dzejnieki – Plūdons, Skalbe, Fricis Bārda. Sen neesam uztaisījuši nevienu jaunu programmu, bet vajadzētu. Pandēmija visus nolika uz pauzes. Bet pirms tam taču mums bija programmas ar Vili Daudziņu – viņš mums ir tāds kā dzejas teātra patrons. Pirmā programma bija ar Ojāra Vācieša un Imanta Ziedoņa vēstulēm – kopā ar Kasparu Znotiņu un Vili Daudziņu: tas mums bija absolūtais bestsellers! Bet tas bija jau pirms desmit gadiem – nospēlējām gandrīz simt reižu. Tā bija izrāde, par kuru teicu – var to likt pirmdien no rīta, arī tad būs izpārdota! Un tad bija iestudējums, kuru centrā bija brāļi Veidenbaumi. Tā bija Viļa Daudziņa ideja, jo daudzi nezināja, ka Veidenbaumam Eduardam bija brālis Kārlis, kurš arī rakstīja dzeju, bet viņš bija tas, kurš saimniekoja Kalāču mājās: kādam jau tur bija jāstrādā, lai Eduards varētu dzīvoties pa Tērbatu... Stāsts bija ļoti interesants, un mēs to piedāvājām arī "Skolas somai". Jo man likās – ja bērns atnāk un noskatās Viļa pētījumu par laiku, kurā Veidenbaumi dzīvoja, par cara laika Latviju – tā uzreiz ir mācību stunda! Tādi izglītojoši pasākumi, kuros arī pati daudz uzzinu. Daumants Kalniņš sarakstīja mūziku ar Friča Bārdas dzeju – izveidojās programma "Sirds prieks". Sekoja programma ar Knuta Skujenieka vārdiem, par ko Daumants saņēma "Zelta mikrofonu". Man pašai tas viss ir tik tuvs – tāpēc arī tik aizrautīgi par to stāstu! Protams, visi Vecpiebalgas dižgari: pirms kāda laika sarīkojām latviešu kultūras nedēļu "Vecpiebalga atver durvis", kas turpinās vēl šobrīd; Kārļa Skalbes mājās bija ikgadējie koncerti. Mums pašiem patīk un citiem arī.  "Tā ir Dieva dāvana – būt tādu cilvēku tuvumā"  Ar senajiem meistariem iznāk vairs tikai virtuāla tikšanās, bet ar dzejniekiem, kuri vēl pavisam nesen bija mūsu vidū, tev droši vien veidojusies skaista, pavisam tuva draudzība.  Draudzība – tā varbūt neteiktu. Bet tādi cilvēki patiesi bijuši pie manis "Dailes" namā – piemēram, Knuts Skujenieks savu 85 gadu jubileju – savu pēdējo jubileju – sagaidīja uz "Dailes" nama skatuves un bija klāt arī Daumanta programmas "Drošinājums" pirmatskaņojumā. Protams, ka tā ir ļoti liela vērtība – ka esi šos cilvēkus saticis un saproti, kādai ellei viņi izgājuši cauri – te domāju Knutu Skujenieku.  Un tas, ka viņš – tāds Baltais tētiņš – spējis palikt tik gaišs cilvēks – tas ir apbrīnojami! Un vēl mums bija Imanta Kalniņa iepriekšējās jubilejas ballīte, kurā bija Uldis Bērziņš, Knuts Skujenieks un pats Imants Kalniņš. Tā ir Dieva dāvana – būt tādu cilvēku tuvumā.  Arī Latvijas Radio koris ir tavs lielais draugs – vairākas programmas rīkotas tieši ar to. Piemēram, Artura Maskata mūzikas programma. Tā laikam ir tava īpašā mīlestība. Jā, Latvijas Radio koris ir mani draugi visu "Dailes" nama gadu garumā. Pirmajai programmai, kurai Sigvards Kļava bija mākslinieciskais vadītājs, veidojām speciālas aranžijas – Andris Sējāns pirmajai daļai un Valts Pūce – otrajai daļai. Imanta Kalniņa oratorijā "Dzejnieks un Nāra" pirmoreiz satikos ar Daumantu Kalniņu kā solistu, un tad arī sākās mūsu draudzība – tas bija jau pirms vienpadsmit gadiem. Tagad mums ir plāns "Dzejnieku un Nāru" rudenī kopā ar Sigvardu jauniestudēt, jo toreiz "Dailes" nams bija knapi atvērts, un šī programma bija pelnījusi skanēt ilgāk. Tāpēc tā atkal jāiestudē no jauna! Vēl ar Latvijas Radio kori bija Artura Maskata jubilejas programma, Broņislavas Martuževas programma ar Daci Everss un Daumantu.  Veidojot šīs programmas, tev iznāk brīnišķīga sadarbība arī ar vadošajiem režisoriem un dramaturgiem! Protams! Diezgan daudz esam sadarbojušies ar Māru Ķimeli. Tagad jubilārs Artūrs Dīcis mums ir dramaturgs Mārča Auziņa un Daiņa Grūbes izrādē. Reinis Suhanovs bija atklāšanas izrādes režisors. Laikam jau patiesībā esam sadarbojušies ar visiem, kas ir mūsu vidū.  Sava publika – tā ir puse no uzvaras! Līdzās koncertiem, muzikālajiem uzvedumiem un džeza koncertiem Mūzikas namā "Daile" ir arī sarunu vakari. Izskatās, ka cilvēkiem ir nepieciešamība pēc klusinātām sarunām, kur divas personības sarunājas par šodien būtiskām tēmām.  Mums bija divi cikla darbi – un droši vien būs arī trešais – ar abiem Mārčiem Auziņiem: ģitāristu Mārci Auziņu un zinātnieku Mārci Auziņu, ar kuru mums izveidojusies cieša draudzība – viņš ir vienkārši brīnišķīgs cilvēks! Cilvēkiem tas interesē, un tēmas ir dažādas: pirmā bija par mākslīgo intelektu, kur bija gan mūzika, gan profesora skatījums, bet saruna "Flirts ar Budu" bija kā meditācija, kurā skanēja mūzika. Tādi starpžanru projekti. Un vēl ir Latvijas Nacionālā simfoniskā orķestra kamermūzikas koncerti, kur skan gan klasika, gan arī laikmetīgā mūzika! Vai uz tiem nāk "Dailes" namam uzticīgā publika, vai tomēr līdz ar žanru un stila maiņu mainās arī cilvēki? Kādi astoņdesmit procenti ir uzticamā publika. Es jau šos cilvēkus atpazīstu vaigā. Taču LNSO kamermūzikas koncerti publikā ienesuši arī jaunas sejas. Ļoti ceru, ka viņi vēlāk atrod arī kaut ko sev piemērotu no mūsu repertuāra.  Kad atvēru "Dailes" namu, mans galvenais mērķis un sapnis bija, ka mums izveidotos sava publika – jo tā jau ir puse no uzvaras! Un es atļaušos domāt, ka trīspadsmit gadu laikā tas tiešām noticis. Bet septembrī apritēs astoņpadsmit gadi, kopš sarīkoju savu pirmo koncertu... Tev ir liela privilēģija – strādāt kopā ar Maestro Raimondu Paulu, turklāt uzņemties tādu lielu un atbildīgu pienākumu kā lielā draugu lokā nosvinēt viņa 90. dzimšanas dienu, kas patiešām bija fantastisks vakars. Bet sadarbība rit arī ikdienā. Cik reižu jau nospēlēta izrāde "Vīrieši labākos gados"?  Ap 120. Tieši uz Maestro jubileju apkopojām kopīgo programmu skaitu, un patiesi: kopā ar Maestro veidotas 15 programmas ar dažādiem solistiem. Pirmā bija ar Zigfrīdu Muktupāvelu, tad ar Agnesi Rakovsku, Dināru Rudāni un Andri Keišu, tad bija Zigfrīda Muktupāvela programma ar Jāņa Petera dzeju, jau pieminētā Ojāra Vācieša un Imanta Ziedoņa programma… Ļoti daudzas programmas bijušas ar Maestro. Un ne tikai ar Maestro – pie mums bijis arī Zigmara Liepiņa 70 gadu jubilejas koncerts. Un arī Jāņa Lūsēna un Imanta Kalniņa jubileja tikusi svinēta. Atļaušos teikt, ka ļoti popularizējam latviešu autoru dzeju un mūziku. Tas ir mūsu galvenais mērķis, un mēs solāmies to darīt arī turpmāk.  Un Frenka Sinatras visgarākā dzimšanas diena! Jā, Frenka Sinatras dzimšanas diena tika svinēta desmit gadu garumā. "Tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums" Anda, tu visos koncertos pati esi klāt. Šķiet, ka pilnīgi katru vakaru! Pieņemu, ka tas ir ne tikai tavs darba pienākums, bet tev ir arī patīkami redzēt [sava darba] augļus.  Tieši tā. Zinu visas programmas no galvas, bet… Ņemot vērā to, ka esam privāta koncertzāle, mums darba roku nav tik daudz, bet skatītāju vietu skaits ir vairāk nekā četri simti. Tāpēc visu darām paši – arī tērpus sakārtojam māksliniekiem, uzklājam kafijas galdu. Mēs reāli strādājam kā publiku un mākslinieku apkalpojošais personāls. Tāpēc arī tur esmu. Un tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums. Mūzikas nams "Daile" atrodas Lāčplēša un Barona ielas stūrī – tāda ļoti laba kultūras vietu saliņa! Blakus – restorāns "Osiris", netālu – Jaunais Rīgas teātris, virs jums ir "Arhis Arhitekti", un turpat ir arī galerija "Istaba". Jā, tāds radošais kvartāls.  Bet jūs arī kaut kā sadarbojaties?  Mēs vienkārši draudzējamies. Jaunā Rīgas teātra aktieri pie mums uzstājas, publika iet uz "Osiris" – lai gan arī mums ir pašiem sava kafejnīca –, un "Osiris" publika nāk pie mums. Pagalmiņš ir viens – visi Jāņos satiekamies.  Man bija pārsteigums, ka savulaik esi strādājusi pie Andreja Žagara.  Andrejam tolaik bija, manuprāt, septiņi restorāni: tas bija augstākais punkts, kad viņš atvēra "Žagara jauno restorānu". Berga bazārā bija "Simpozijs", vīnu veikals, Vecrīgā bija grieķu restorāns, vēl "Dizzi" klubs, "Osiris"... Biju šo restorānu izpilddirektore. Ar Andreju iepazināmies kādā ballītē Operā, un viņš saprata: šitā meitene, kaut arī no laukiem, ir baigi ašā. Kaut kāds materiāls tur ir! Andrejam esmu ļoti pateicīga – viņš man ļoti daudz ko iemācīja. Vienbrīd viņš saka: tagad braucam uz Londonu un Parīzi, uz restorāniem! Es domāju – man pat nav nekā, ko mugurā vilkt... Ar Andreju vienu laiku ļoti cieši strādājām.  Viss sākās kā joks, bet izrādījās liktenis Tu esi ne tikai šīs koncertzāles turētāja un saimniece, bet arī mūzikas izdevniecības "Ars Nova" vadītāja. Tagad tas vairāk "Spotify" platformai. Apvienība tika nodibināta, kad sākām strādāt kopā ar Jāni Lūsēnu – tas bija 2008. gadā, un septembrī kopš tā laika būs apritējuši jau astoņpadsmit gadi. Tas viss sākās kā joks, bet izrādījās liktenis. Jo pirms tam strādāju pilnīgi citā sfērā un reiz vedu Kristīni uz koncertu, kurā viņai bija jāpiedalās kopā ar Māru Zālīti, Jāni Lūsēnu un Zigfrīdu Muktupāvelu. To koncertu atcēla. Kaut kā sākām runāt, un Lūsēns saka – man nākošgad piecdesmit gadu jubileja, bet nav, kas uztaisa. Saku – es taču varu uztaisīt! Bet tad tikai Operā, jo tikai tajā kaut ko zinu. Tā tas sākās – kā joks. Pa vidu Jānis uzrakstīja ciklu "Mazu brīdi pirms". Tas bija 2008. gadā – mans pirmais rīkotais koncerts. Pilnīgs liktenis! Tad bija laiks, kad iestudējām dažādus mūziklus – Valmieras teātrī bija "Kaupēn, mans mīļais" un "Agrā rūsa". Bet ciešāka sadarbība raisījās  tikai ar Lūsēnu. Bet tā mūžīgā telpu problēma... Un tad es iedomājos, vai Rīgā nav kāds bijušais kinoteātris… Ierakstīju tīmekļa meklētājā – un tiešām! Sludinājums, ka izīrē bijušā kinoteātra telpas. Taču sludinājuma termiņš jau bija beidzies. Nodomāju: tā ir tieši "Osiris" māja, kurā visus pazīstu. Jānoskaidro. Viņi saka – tur ir izīrēts, bet varbūt viens procents, ka [mans sapnis] varētu piepildīties. Un tas viens procents arī piepildījās! Liktenis!  Vai to, ko rādāt uz skatuves, mēdzat arī izdot ciešripās un platēs? Tagad aktuāla analogā mode. Tagad tās vinilplates, jā, un ļoti gribētu izdot dažas no mūsu programmām.  Kuras tās būtu? Piemēram, programmu "Suni ārā nedzenama nakts" – tā ir ļoti, ļoti, ļoti īpaša. Tā man ļoti, ļoti patīk. Arī Knuta Skujenieka un Daumanta Kalniņa "Drošinājums", kas izpelnījās "Zelta mikrofonu". Mēs paši veidojam arī televīzijas ierakstus un dodam Latvijas Televīzijai – šie ieraksti bieži tiek parādīti televīzijā. "Pats Artūrs Banga sēdējis pie manas priedes!" Dzirdēju, ka tev bijusi doma savas mājas Lapmžciemā izveidot kā brīvdabas koncertzāli.  Tās mājas tieši ar tādu domu vispār tika iekārtotas. Tas bija pandēmijas laiks. Man bija saikne ar Lapmežciemu, un biju izdomājusi, ka tā varētu būt "Dailes" nama vasaras rezidence, un doma nav atmesta – tādi brīvdabas koncerti, jo sēta ir ļoti skaista – pie jūras un ar vēsturi: šajā sētā filmēts "Ilgais ceļš kāpās"... Diezgan daudz tur esmu savedusi kārtībā, tā ka – kas zina. Pandēmijas laikā taisījām visādas fotosesijas; esam filmējuši arī raidījumu "Daudz laimes, jubilār!" Vajadzētu sākt ar "Ilgā ceļa kāpās" vakara kino seansu, lai redz, kur ir Artūra priede! Jā, pats Artūrs Banga (viens no filmas galvenajiem varoņiem – red.) sēdējis pie manas priedes! Tas uzreiz ir stāsts! (Smejas.) Vēl tikai mājai jāuzliek šindeļu jumts. Vai maz vēl ir meistari, kas māk tādu uzlikt? Mani meistari brauc no Alūksnes, jo daudz tādu vairs nav. Tas ir tāds ļoti labais gadījums, kas man liek noticēt, ka ar Latviju viss ir kārtībā, jo šindeļu jumta licējam – galvenajam meistaram – ir pieci dēli, un visi pieci ir apmācīti šindeļu jumta likšanā! Jā, viņi mācās dažādās universitātēs, bet viņi prot to amatu. Un tad nu visi pieci dēli brauc un liek manai mājai jumtu. Tā ir vērtība! Ko vēl dari savā brīvajā laikā, ja tev tāds ir? Brīvā laika man ir ļoti maz. Bet, cik nu ir, to cenšos pavadīt dabā. Jo ikdienā, kā jau tu arī teici, katru vakaru esmu "Dailes" namā, apkārt četrsimt cilvēki, un tas, kas pēcāk visvairāk nepieciešams, ir klusums, līdzsvars, miers, kuru var atrast tikai un vienīgi dabā: mežā, pie jūras, arī tomātus stādot, arī rozēm lapas griežot un kaut ko tādu darot. Tad tomēr dārza darbi tev maķenīt patīk? Tagad patīk, jā! Kad mamma savulaik Jaunpilī lika divus hektārus biešu izkaplēt – citādi uz balli netikšu, likās – nemūžam man nekā tāda nebūs! Bet tagad patīk.  Gribas savu tomātu noplūkt!  To tomātu nav tik daudz, drīzāk tā sajūta, ka no rīta ieej siltumnīcā – tas ir pilnīgi kaut kas cits. Un tā ir vienīgā atslodze, kas iespējama, savādāk nevar – daba!  Daba, un tūlīt arī maijs, tūlīt svētki. Man vienkārši gribas novēlēt tev, lai vari izbaudīt šo pavasari un kopā ar savējiem nosvinēt gan savu atzinību, gan mūsu valsts neatkarības atjaunošanas svētkus. Lai mums visiem skaistas aprīļa beigas un maija sākums, kad daba plaukst!  Sirsnīgs paldies tev, Gunda! Baltā galdauta svētki 4. maijā man vienmēr ir patikuši – man vispār patīk galdu klāt. Tagad būs īpašs iemesls. Paldies! 

In this deeply honest and theologically rich episode, Heather Creekmore welcomes Jen Oshman—author, missionary, and mom of four daughters—to tackle a question many women silently struggle with: Is it good that I was born a woman? Together, they candidly explore how issues of body image, shame, and the cultural pressures of womanhood can lead to deep-seated doubts and frustration. Drawing from global and biblical perspectives, Jen Oshman shares insights gathered from years of cross-cultural ministry and studying God’s word. She addresses the vulnerabilities women face, both physically and socially, and how Western and global cultures shape our understanding of femininity. Jen Oshman unpacks what the Bible says about being female, highlighting the unique and powerful stories of women in Scripture that often get overlooked, and discusses why God’s design for women is not only intentional but also very good. Key Topics Covered Why the question, “Is it good that I was born a woman?” is more common than we realize The impact of shame, fear, and the lived realities of being female in our culture How body image struggles can be rooted in deeper frustrations about being a woman A biblical look at femininity—separating culture’s checklist from God’s truth The meaning of “helper” (Ezer) in Genesis and its empowering implications Why diversity among women in Scripture matters—and what we can learn from their stories Studying tough Old Testament laws (like menstruation) in context and seeing God’s heart of care for women Practical encouragement for women who wrestle with their purpose and God’s plan for their gender How to dig deeper into biblical womanhood with Jen’s new Lifeway Bible study, “Very Good” Connect with Jen here: https://www.jenoshman.com Grab a copy of Jen's new Bible study: "Very Good" on Amazon here.** Amazon affiliate link.

Are we teaching our kids to follow the culture or the Creator? In this Midweek Check-in, Nathan tackles a heavy-hitting question from a listener: "Should we be teaching our children to accept or reject 'gender roles' in marriage?" Nathan argues that when we swap the "Blueprint" for modern "Fluidity," we aren't giving our children freedom—we're giving them confusion. We're discussing why distinct, God-ordained roles are essential for a flourishing home and how to model the beauty of the Ezer and the Head to the next generation. Check out the full Midweek Check-in here:

In this episode of the Pure Desire Podcast, Dr. Andrew Bauman joins us to discuss why the church so often becomes an unsafe place for survivors of sexual betrayal. Drawing from his work as a licensed mental health counselor and his research with more than 2,800 women, Dr. Bauman shares what led him—from pastoral ministry into clinical practice—to expose the systemic sexism and abuse he documents in Safe Church. We explore how misogyny disguised as theology retraumatizes betrayed women, how men's recovery spaces can drift toward self-protection rather than true repair, and why meaningful repentance must be victim-centered. Dr. Bauman unpacks distorted interpretations of power, forgiveness, and the biblical term Ezer, and offers practical “green flags” for identifying church communities that genuinely support healing, equality, and spiritual safety for both men and women in recovery.

In the world of the Bible, names were never just labels—they carried identity, authority, and even power. In this episode of The Two Trees Podcast, we explore how the ancient cultures surrounding Genesis understood naming as an act of ordering the world, and how that context reshapes our reading of Adam in the garden. When God brings the creatures to Adam, this is more than observation—it is a divine invitation into stewardship, priesthood, and participation in God's rule. But what happens when that gift is distorted? From the blessing and cursing of the tongue to the deeper meaning behind renamed figures in Scripture, this episode invites you to rediscover the weight of words and the calling to speak life in a world shaped by exile.Authors note:. I MADE A MISTAKE. Around 53.26 I said Adam called his wife Ezer that is incorrect he calls her Isah which means woman Ezer is the word translated helper in verse 8.  It's the word what describes what the Isah is suppose to be.  I apologize.

Missed the premiere? The Blueprint is waiting.

Are you just along for the ride? In many circles, the word "helper" has been watered down to mean a silent assistant or a passive passenger. But in the original Hebrew, the word is Ezer—a term used for a "strong rescue" or "vital power." In this episode, Nathan and Andrea Warnock move past the "doormat" stereotypes to explore the high-stakes calling of a Godly wife. A Godly wife isn't a passenger in the marriage; she is a strategic partner whose wisdom, spiritual intuition, and strength are essential to the mission. Join us as we discuss how to move from passive compliance to active, life-giving partnership. Marriage By Design is a channel dedicated to digging into God's design for marriage and family - as well as talking practically live that out in our marriages and families. Our goal is to leave you encouraged that you CAN do marriage and family by God's design and to give you HOPE that God IS FOR YOUR MARRIAGE AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

Körbejárjuk, hogymilyen alkotói és személyes tétje van annak, ha az ember katolikuskéntJézus-regényt ír. Megnézzük, hogyan jelenik meg Szűz Mária a szövegben, van-e aregénynek feminista olvasata, illetve arra is kitérünk, hogyan válnak a művészeti albumok családi fotóalbummá. Szót ejtünk arról is, hogyan születikmeg a kortárs misztikus, szent karaktere a régi női misztikusainak alakjaiból. Hogyanírható le az Istennel való egyesülés tapasztalata, lehetséges-e a szakrálistapasztalás egy erzsébetvárosi bérház falai között és végül fény derül arra is,hogy a címbe emelt  betonba hímzés milyen eljárást jelöl.Következő adásunkban Milbacher Róberttel beszélgetünk az újonnanmegjelenő Variációk a múltra című kötetéről. A beszélgetés során megidézett művek:Beney Zsuzsa: Versek a labirintusból Giovanni Pozzi (szerk.), Claudio Leonardi (szerk.) Olasz misztikusírónőkMakoto Fujimura: Művészet + hitPuskely Mária: Ezer év misztikájábólRoland Barthes: Beszédtöredékek a szerelemről Stáblista:Host: Mezei Kristóf és Modor BálintVágó, szerkesztő: Modor BálintHangmérnök: Szabó AttilaProdukciós vezető: Mezei KristófGrafika: Rimanóczy AndreaZene: Tanos Márton

In this powerful episode, KB sits down with Amber Hodges, a former high school English teacher and author who shares her transformative journey of studying the 175+ women in the Bible. What began as a simple prompting from God turned into a four-and-a-half-year deep dive that changed everything Amber understood about her identity as a daughter of God. From discovering that Eve was called an "Ezer"—a military partner, not an assistant—to learning about Dorcas, whose small acts of service impacted an entire town, Amber reveals how these ancient stories hold profound truths for modern women. She unpacks how God seeks out His daughters, meets them where they are, and values them as equal partners in His work.This conversation explores themes of forgiveness, identity, worth beyond mistakes, and the power of faithful obedience in small things. Amber shares insights on the woman taken in adultery (who gets to be more than her sin), Hagar (who named God "El Roi—the God who sees me"), and Abigail (the peacemaker who stopped a war). Whether you've felt insignificant in your sphere of influence or struggled to forgive yourself for past mistakes, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God's perfect love for you is unchanging—and that your worth is not hinging on your flaws. Amber's passion for sharing these truths will inspire you to dig deeper into Scripture and discover the personal love God has for you.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

Vendégünk Kabát Krisztián, a Portfolio energetikai elemzője volt. A második rész azt járta körül, hogy rekord szintre emelkedett az egyenlőtlenség Magyarországon – ez pedig nemcsak szociális szempontból rendkívül súlyos probléma, hanem a gazdasági növekedést is érdemben visszafogja.

Donations Resources (feminine hygiene products, and diapers, etc.)https://my.liberaforms.org/solidarity-kitchen-2Cash Pledges (100 percent goes to families)https://my.liberaforms.org/solidarity-kitchen-3Here is our plan: December 2, 2025 (Tuesday), 2:30 p.m. - 7 p.m., North Point ChurchServe up to 400 to go meals for students, parents and/or family members in our school district who have experienced the government shut down, food insecurity, or just plain tight times, with inflation and the job market.We will cook and pack to-go containers of meals, and be ready to send those off with students and/or families and/or caregivers. We will also have cash donations to put into envelopes, gift card donations to give away to those families that need additional support recovering from the shutdown or SNAP break. If folks would like to give to this, we are in process of setting up a secure format for it, in collaboration.TRANSCRIPTSDanielle (00:00):Cut it off. I just is so swamped with trying to respond to people's texts and calls. We have the whole system going, but I can explain more when we talk. It's justJenny (00:12):Okay. Oh my gosh. Yeah. We can do kind of a short one if that helps, or whatever feels supportive for you.I'm doing good. I'm thinking about the American Academy of Religions Conference this weekend. It kicks off tonight and I'll be presenting on my panel tomorrow, so I've been thinking about that.Yeah, I feel nervous, but I feel good. I feel really supported by the Purity Culture Research Collective and the colleagues and friends that I have there. So I mostly excited just to see folks coming in from all over, so I think it'll be a fun time.Danielle (01:02):Do you feel like you're going to be able to say what you want to say in the way you want to say it?Jenny (01:08):I think so. I keep reading over it again and again and tweaking it. It's hard to say what you want to say in five minutes, but,Oh goodness. I think there's eight of us. Eight or nine, I can't remember exactly. So we each get five minutes, but then it opens up into a q and a and sort of a discussion, so I'll have more time to expand on what I'm trying to say and it'll be fun to weave it together with other people.Danielle (01:42):It's interesting. I feel like we're all in these different places. We are physically sometimes, but even if we're in the same city and we're doing different things towards similar goals, that really strikes me. It's one reason I get excited about what you're doing.Oh, yeah, that's right. Well, I think I wrote in an email to friends to get it started. Basically what happened is we were at a band concert a month ago and it was the government shutdown, and my kids were talking about it and some of their classmates not having paychecks, their parents not having paychecks because we live in Kitsap County, and so there are two military, well, maybe there's three military bases in the area, so a lot of government funded work employees, the military obviously. And then also in our school district, I became aware that almost 30% of our students are either on SNAP or free and reduced lunch. So if you add that plus the level of the population of kids in our schools, either with parents in the military or in government position jobs, that's a lot of kids. And so I was like, oh, shit, what are we going to do? And I thought to myself, I was like, how can you not get on board with feeding kids? Really? They're innocent, they're young. I mean, we have plenty of riches in our county, in our country actually to do this should not be a thing. So that's kind of how it got started.Well, now it's called the Solidarity Kitchen. I'm like one member. There's many members of the Solidarity Kitchen, and we try to make decisions collaboratively. Some of us are better at some things like I'm not going to, I did take my food handlers permit test and passed it, by the way, today. Good job. I'm not going to be in charge. I'm not the expert at that. I like cooking for masses. So although I give input, there's other people that know more than me. There's also other people that know more about organizing volunteers or creating forms, and I dabbled a little bit in the art, but there's people that know more about how art should look and the words that need to go on art. I'm out here telling people, Hey, this is what we're about.(04:07):Would you like to join us? And trying to make space that's big enough for a lot of people to join in. It really felt like this collective consciousness movement. I go and I talk to someone, they're like, oh, we would love to do that. And it's like they've already thought of it. So it's not me trying to convince anybody to do anything or any of us, it's just like, oh, this is a need. This is something we can do. And we don't have to agree on a thousand things to get it done because I don't know. I know there are people in our government right now that are just wicked enough not to feed kids. We saw that as evidence, and I won't say any names. And also the new budget that's coming out in the big bill is going to cut snap benefits massively. So this is probably going to be an ongoing issue for kids, but it seems like a slam dunk to me. If you don't have food, if you don't have water, if you don't have shelter, if you don't have safety, how are you supposed to learn?Jenny (05:09):Yeah, right. I'm thinking about kids too and just how much their brains, their bodies are just burning through calories as they're growing, as they're learning, as they're developing. And of course every body needs food, but I think especially kids need a lot of food because their bodies are going through a lot of metabolism and a lot of change.Danielle (05:35):I think the collective messaging of the government saying basically, I've heard a lot of political pundits say, if you're on snap, if you're on free and reduced lunch, you're lazy. Your parents are lazy. Well, that's just not true. My kids have been on free and reduced lunch, and I remember the times when I was in grad school and we were living on one check, and I'm trying to go back to school to get paid, and you're literally short on money. Making lunches is expensive. And so to have that as an option increases capacity in other areas of your life. It's not that parents are lazy. It's not that parents aren't working jobs. So if that's the collective message, but what it does is it takes food out of the mouths of kids and kids, no matter what we say or think or believe, they are receiving that messaging that your parent might be lazy or your parent is leaching off the government or whatever these horrible tropes are that are spread by certain politicians. I won't say their names. I mean, do we think kids are really that dumb that they don't understand that, right? I mean, they get it. Yeah.Jenny (06:47):Right. When really the issue is hoarding, and I was thinking it's really actually pretty recent in human history that most people have even had to buy food. Food comes from the land, from the earth, from animals, from all of these things. And yet we have privatized and subsidized and commodified everything to make it so that you have to be able to have money to be able to afford food, which is just to me, I made this post recently where I just said, I cannot think of anything more opposite than Jesus' message of don't worry about what you'll eat, what you'll wear. Even the sparrows don't fret and the flowers bloom. And then this message from the government and from honestly, a lot of Christians is you should pull yourself up by your bootstraps. And Martin Luther King Jr. Said, if someone does not have boots, what a cruel thing to tell them. And if we live in a system that is intentionally hamstringing people's ability by not paying them what their labor is worth, by not providing childcare, by giving them crippling medical bills, of course something as simple as food should be becomes so complicated.Danielle (08:20):When I was in this theological and also, sorry, political discussion with family members, and I actually heard this verse preached in a sermon referenced Second Thessalonians three 10, which says, if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. And in the context I heard it in was interpreted to mean, if you're not working tough, go get a job. So that's kind of the context and some of the theological foundation of what I've heard for why let's not do Snap, let's not do free and reduced lunch, et cetera, et cetera. But I think a more holistic approach would be to focus on what was the historical impression of that time? What did community accountability mean? What did it mean to do resource sharing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And I think what I would call today, or not me friends and more wise people than me, and I'm using the term of mutual aid, and I don't know if they use mutual aid back then, but that's kind of what I think they're talking about. I don't know that it means showing up at a job and doing nine to five work, is what they were saying in that verse. I think it's contributing to your community.(09:41):And a lot of people that don't make hundred, 200 million, like a million dollars a year, they're contributing to our society and they don't get paid what they need to eat. That is also a sin.Jenny (09:58):Yes. Yeah. Sorry. It sure seems to me that Jesus spent a lot of time walking around talking and not a lot of time working. From what I read, gospelDanielle (10:10):Bro, Jesus relied on mutual aid too. He went fishing, he showed up people's houses, they fed him. There was a lot of trading going on.Jenny (10:20):Absolutely. Absolutely. So if someone wants to get involved in what you're doing and provide what they have towards a mutual aid and in service of what you're already doing, is that possible? Should they just go start their own thing? Is there a way they can get involved with what you're doing? What would you tell someone who's listening and is like, yeah, I want to get involved and help?Danielle (10:48):They definitely could give cash or a donation. We partnered with the Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center Kayak here in Kitsap County, and they're like a fiscal partner. They're not a sponsor, but they're like adjacent to us help with Mutual aid. So there is the opportunity to donate through them and market for Solidarity Kitchen December 2nd. And I can put the link in the notes, but I think more importantly, if you're not here, yeah, please, I am not going to say, no, don't give us some cash or don't send us some menstrual supplies or whatnot. You can't donate food from that far away because we have to follow, be compliant with Washington Food law and standards. See, I know this now I took my test, but who in your community needs a gas card? Who needs a grocery card? Who could just use an envelope with a hundred bucks, a hundred bucks? What does that get you? Two bags of groceries or a hundred bucks to just shoot the breeze somewhere, sit down and have a coffee and a drink and go buy your groceries. I think there's this misconception if you give out cash, oh, they're just going to use it on booze and drugs. That's what I heard as a kid.(12:00):And now as an adult, I know that's rarely true. And why would we begrudge someone a little bit of cash to go out and have a coffee or have a drink or maybe get a date with their partner or enjoy a little bit better meat at the grocery store? That just seems so selfish and judgmental,Jenny (12:24):Totally. No, it makes me think of Tema, O K's, white supremacy, cultural norms, and it's so paternalistic that's like, I should decide how this other person spends their money when it's like that other person is a sovereign being living in their own body. And what if they get to decide what they eat and what they do with their body? What a concept that might be.Danielle (12:50):How do you see that kind of, I talk about this here and I know you're very supportive of me too, but how do you see that playing out in your day-to-day life? What does mutual aid look like for you?Jenny (13:01):Yeah, it does feel a little more complicated because my community is so broad right now. We're rarely in a place more than a week. And so it really is trying to be open to what's right in front of us. So a week ago, we were at this beautiful cafe in northern Maine that was doing a food drive and was collecting food, but the cafe was going to open itself up to make meals for everyone that was houseless for the holidays. And so we just gave them some cash and we're like, we're not going to be around anymore, but can you use this for the meals that you're going to be making? And they were like, absolutely.(13:50):We also look around, we end up picking up a fair amount of hitchhikers when we see someone along the road. And a ride is something we can try to do. So we look out for that. I consider you part of my community, even though you're literally on the other part of the country right now. And so those are some things I like to do. And I like what you said, there's some people that know how to cook. There's some people that know how to do art. I consider one of my gifts is networking and connecting people and saying, Hey, you need this other person has this. Let me connect you. And then also just trying to educate folks, because I think there's a lot of misconceptions out there about, since Reagan and the quote welfare queen and these racialized stereotypes and tropes of who needs money and who needs assistance.(14:53):One, white people need snap and assistance as well. And two, it doesn't do justice to the wealth disparity that exists because of hundreds of years of systemic racism and xenophobic rhetoric in our country, that there is a reality to the necessity of these systems right now to support bodies. And so I find myself trying to have difficult, frustrating conversations with family members or people I know that have maybe seen different news sources or things like that, that I have or have a very homogenous community where they don't often understand some of the source of suffering.Danielle (15:45):So if you could summarize for someone saying, well, I don't know anybody. I don't have anything. What I kind of hear you saying is that's okay. One, you can continue to reach out for that community and try to make efforts, but you can also, oh, no, are you paused? Oh, no. You can also reach out for those people and you can get started with what's present right in front of you. You can donate some cash to a friend. You can pick up what's safe for you, for you and Sean, you've decided it's actually safe to pick up a hitchhiker and you can get involved locally when you're around something. It doesn't have to be limited to what I'm talking about. The importance is to jump in and communicate love to people through different ways of giving. Where do we go from here? It feels like every day there's something hopeless happening. Yeah,Well, I think this is one way working and organizing and finding solidarity with friends in my area, but also just I have a family. I'm blessed with a family and just enjoying them, not trying to change anything about them, sitting with them, trying to meet them where they're at, reaching out to friends, calling, texting, saying, Hey. I mean, those are little ways. What about you?Jenny (17:33):Yeah, very similar. This conference feels hopeful to me that people are still trying to get together and understand how we can navigate hopefully a more ethical, equitable world. I've had the opportunity to just have some really sweet times connecting with friends who live around here recently and just sharing meals and catching up and just remembering how most people I think are really good and are really trying to do their best. And I need to be able to see that because I think the algorithm wants us to believe that people are mostly scary and bad and dangerous, and certainly there are scary and bad and dangerous people in the world. And I would say the majority of people that I tend to come into contact with in the flesh give me hope for the type of world that is possible.It is been mostly cold because we're in Boston and it's real cold, but it's also made me appreciate moments of sweet warmth even more. If we go to the YMCA and take a hot shower once every few days or sit in the sauna, it feels like it's a tiny little example of what we're talking about where it's like there are moments of goodness and hope breaking through even when things feel like they're really difficult. And in some ways that actually makes me savor those moments even more because I have honestly lived a very privileged life where most of my life, I didn't have to acknowledge a sense of hopelessness that I'm finding myself reckoning with now in a different way.Yeah. I'm giving my dog lots of snuggles. She sprained her paw on the beach the other day, and it's been very sad. She did limp around.Danielle (20:19):Well, how do you see yourself moving through then a time of Thanksgiving and a time when we, technically this is a time of being together and dah, dah, dah, and I know Thanksgiving has a lot of different meanings for a lot of different people, but just curious how you're thinking of that for yourself this year.Jenny (20:44):Yeah, I think I'm thinking about nuance and complexity and knowing that I will be sharing time with people who see the world very differently than I do and who are some of the most generous people I know. And it's not in my opinion, because they're terrible people that they see the world they do. It's because they've had certain influences. And I really appreciate the attempt to not split the world into all or nothing good or bad. That's very hard for me. I have a very strong tendency to just go, Nope, you're in the bad bucket now. And I would say in the last couple years, living in the van has taught me more about nuance and complexity and that you can never really pin someone down. I think people will always surprise you. And so I'm trying to go into the holiday and being open to hold nuance and also trying to grow my ability to not stay silent when I witness violence spoken.Danielle(22:19):Like I said, my family's everything to me. So we have some traditions that were started when the kids were little. One is making the favorite pie of everyone in the family. And so I'm in pie phase today. I wrote up a list of the pies I want to make, and really this week is an excuse to do it.So I'm looking forward to that. I'm also looking forward to being with one of my dear friends, one of my forever people, and it's an excuse for us to be together, and we're just going to sit likely and laugh and do nothing and take advantage of the time off. So I think those two things like connection and food feel good to me often, and they feel really good to me right now.Jenny (23:05):Yes. And connection and food sounds like so much a part of this day that you're organizing and that you're planning. What are your hopes for December 2nd?Danielle (23:18):Is it Yeah, December 2nd, just a Tuesday. Yeah. My hopes is that one that some people were, and this is a valid question, why not just get meal packages ready and then people can cook them and take them home? And I think one of the things was is there's so much love that goes into preparing a meal, and that felt like a ritual for me when I was thinking about doing it that I didn't want to forego. So one, I want to feel like this was cooked, this had intention, this had thought behind it, and it was a lot of work, and that's okay. It's because they love you. And I know that kids go around and often feel like can feel lonely or outcast, and I know adults are feeling that way too. And I just wanted this to be, this is one moment where you can bet someone thought of you and loved you.(24:09):That was one thing. So love is a main thing. Second, I wanted it to taste good. That's what I hope it tastes good to people. And third is that there's an imagination in our community that there's so many things against us forming and working and collaborating together, but I hope it gives imagination. There's the political world out there, and there's the practical way of it affects us in one way. I think it affects us, is separating us from our bodies and from each other. And I think to combat that or for any change to happen, we have to find common themes to gather around. And I mean, like I said, there's very few people that can say no to feeding kids, and I just think it's an easy Yes. Let's do it. Yeah. Sorry to talk so much. I have so much to say about it.Jenny (24:59):No, I think it's important, and honestly, it's inspiring and challenging in a good way of, I think it's almost easier sometimes to be like, oh, there's so much I don't know what I can do. And you're just like, yeah, you can make food for someone. It doesn't have to be as complicated as we tend to make it. And I have witnessed that be a part of who you are for many, many years now, and I always am inspired to do better in my own way when I see you living into that.What's your favorite pie?Danielle (25:43):It was my favorite pie. Well, I started making homemade pumpkin, and that's when I realized I really like pumpkin pie. You bake the pumpkins. Have you done this? You cutDude, you got to do it. You cut them in half, you clean out the seeds, you save that for later, and you don't want the hair in there. I don't know what it's called in English, that string stuff, and then you salt it with the big salts and you bake it. That to me, that is like, oh, it's so good. So I like homemade pumpkin pie, but I also like chocolate pecan pie. I do like pecan pie. I like pie.What about you? What's your favorite?Jenny (26:27):I love so many pies too. I like strawberry rhubarb pie. That's probably my favorite.Danielle (26:34):Oh, I didn't know that about you.Jenny (26:36):Yeah. I do love pumpkin pie. I do love a really cinnamony apple pie. I had a Mexican chocolate pie once that was spicy. It was so good. Yeah, we actually had it at our wedding. We don't really like cake, so we did just a bunch of pies and it was so good. ThatMan. Okay. Okay. Now I really want some pie. Our oven in doesn't work, sadly, so we can't make pie.Danielle (27:08):You need to get another way of doing that, then you cannot not have pie.Jenny (27:14):I know. We'll be at some families next week, so I'm going to make them make a pie. Well,     Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

Bio: Jenny - Co-Host Podcast (er):I am Jenny! (She/Her) MACP, LMHCI am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Certified Yoga Teacher, and an Approved Supervisor in the state of Washington.I have spent over a decade researching the ways in which the body can heal from trauma through movement and connection. I have come to see that our bodies know what they need. By approaching our body with curiosity we can begin to listen to the innate wisdom our body has to teach us. And that is where the magic happens!I was raised within fundamentalist Christianity. I have been, and am still on my own journey of healing from religious trauma and religious sexual shame (as well as consistently engaging my entanglement with white saviorism). I am a white, straight, able-bodied, cis woman. I recognize the power and privilege this affords me socially, and I am committed to understanding my bias' and privilege in the work that I do. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively engage critical race theory and consultation to see a better way forward that honors all bodies of various sizes, races, ability, religion, gender, and sexuality.I am immensely grateful for the teachers, healers, therapists, and friends (and of course my husband and dog!) for the healing I have been offered. I strive to pay it forward with my clients and students. Few things make me happier than seeing people live freely in their bodies from the inside out!Danielle (00:28):Welcome to the Arise Podcast, conversations based in what our reality is, faith, race, justice, gender in the church, therapy, all matter of things considered just exploring this topic of reality. Hey, I'm having this regular podcast co-host. Her name is Jenny McGrath. She's an M-A-C-P-L-M-H-C. She's dope. She's a licensed mental health counselor, a somatic experiencing practitioner, certified yoga teacher, and an approved supervisor in the state of Washington. She spent over a decade researching the ways in which the body can heal from trauma through movement and connection. And she's come to see that bodies are so important and she believes that by approaching the body with curiosity, we can begin to listen to the innate wisdom our body has to teach us. And that is where the magic happens. So I hope you're as thrilled as me to have such an amazing co-host join me. Yeah, we're going to talk about reality and therapy. We're just jumping in. Jenny and I are both writing books.Jenny, I think it's funny that we are good friends and we see each other when we're around each other, but then if not, we're always trading reels and often they're like parodies on real life. Funny things about real life that are happening, which I've been, the theme of my book is called Splitting, and I know you write about purity culture, and a part of that I think really has to do with what is our reality and how is it formed? And then that shapes what we do, how we act, how we behave in the world, how we relate to each other. So any thoughts on that? On Thursday, September 25th,Jenny (02:17):I mean, as you named that, I think 10 minutes before this started, I sent you a reel. There was a comedian singing Why She Doesn't Go to Therapy, and it says, all my friends that go to therapy are mean to me, and you don't have boundaries. You're just being an asshole. And it was good, but it was also existential. This was what seems to me a white woman. And I do think as a white woman who's a therapist, I feel existential a lot about the work I do in therapy and in healing spaces, and how we do this in a way that doesn't promote this hyper individualistic reality. And this idea that everything I see and everything I think is the way that it is, how do I stay open to more of a communal or collective way of knowing? And I think that that's a challenging thing. So that's something that comes to mind for me as you bring up Instagram reels.Danielle (03:26):Oh man, I have so many thoughts on that that I wasn't thinking before you said it, but I think they were all locked in a vault, been unleashed. No, seriously. You come from your own position in the world. Talk about your position and how did you come to that point of seeing more of a collective mindset or reality point of view?Jenny (03:47):I mean, honestly, I think a big part has been knowing you and working with you and knowing that I think we've had conversations over the years of both the privilege and the detriment that happens in a lot of white therapeutic spaces that say you just need detach from your family, from your community, from those who have harmed you. And I want to be very, very clear and very careful that obviously I do think that there are situations we need to extract ourselves from and remove ourselves from. And I think that can become disabling for bodies to, I've been having this thing play in my head lately where I'm like, are you healed? Or have you just cut off everyone that triggers you?Yeah, and I saw another, speaking of meme, it was like, I treat my trauma like Trump treats tariffs. I just implement boundaries arbitrarily, and they harm everyone.And so I think it's, there is a certain privilege that comes with being able to say, I'm just going to step away. I'm going to do my own thing. I'm going to do my healing journey. And I think there is a detriment to that and there's a loss. And I think we have co-evolved to be in community and to tell stories and to share reality and to hold reality in the tension of our space. I think about it as we each have a different lens. There's no objective reality, but if I can be open to your lens and you can be open to my lens, then we actually have two lenses, and then if we have five lenses or 10 lenses, we can have a much fuller picture of where we are rather than seeing the world through the really monochromatic white, patriarchal, Christian nationalist lens that we've been maybe conditioned, or at least I was conditioned to see the world through.Danielle (06:10):Yeah. Whoa. Yeah, I know we've talked about this so many times, and I think it just feels so present right now, especially as every moment it feels like every day. If you watch the news, if you don't take a break, I think you can be jarred at any moment or dissociated at any moment, or traumatized at any moment, or maybe feel a bit of joy too when someone says a smack down on your side of the issue. And I think that when we get in that mode of constantly being jarred and then we try to come into a healing space, it's like how do we determine then what is actually healing for us? What is actually good? What is actually wise? And I agree, I think if we're in a rhythm of being on our own, and I'm not criticizing, I mean, I get lonely and I'm part of a group, so I'm not speaking to loneliness particularly, but I'm speaking to the idea that no one else has input in your life, even the kind of input you may not agree with, but no one else is allowed to speak to you.(07:15):When I get in those spaces, it's not that I just feel lonely, I don't feel any hope. I don't feel any movement or any possibility because let's say that this ends tomorrow, that authoritarian regime magically ends. It's healed tomorrow. We're going to have to look at all of our people in our lives and face them and decide what we're going to do. I mean, that's what I think about a lot. At the end of the day, I might sit next to someone that hates me or that I perhaps might have rage and anger towards them. What are we going to do? So I don't know, when you talk about the different lenses, I'm not sure how that all mixes together. I don't have an answer, basically. Shoot.Jenny (08:05):But I also think that that's part of maybe how we hold reality is maybe it is more about presence and being with what is, rather than having an answer, I think I become more and more skeptical of anyone who says they have an answer for anything.Danielle (08:31):So I mean, there was this guy that recently passed away, and there was, on one hand I wanted to really talk about it, and on the other hand, I didn't want to talk about it because it took up so much space. And I feel that even as we start to talk about how do we form healing spaces in therapy with that, I think, what did you call it that, what kind of lens did you say? It was like a monochromatic lens. How do we talk about that without centering it?Jenny (09:08):I think one thing that comes to mind is holding it in context of all of the other deaths that have not taken up that space. And the social studies phrase, what are the conditions of possibility that have enabled this death to create church services happening that have taken over people's social media, people who have been silent about lots of different deaths in the last year or five years, all of a sudden can't help but become really vigilant about talking about this. I think for me, it helps to zoom back and go, how come? Why is this so prevalent? Why is this so loud? What is this illuminating or what is this unearthing about? What's already been here?So I grew up in very fundamentalist, white evangelical Christianity. And from the time I was eight, nine years old, I had in me messages instilled of martyrdom, whether that was a message that I should be a martyr, or whether that was a message that Christians were already being martyred, whether that was the war against Christmas with Starbucks cups or not having prayers happen at school. And these things where I grew up in this world where we were supposed to be prominent, we were supposed to be prevalent, we were supposed to be protected. And whenever there was any challenge to that from bodies that weren't white or straight or Christian or American, there became this very real frenzy around martyrdom. And I think on an interpersonal level and on a collective level, someone who plays the victim will always hold the most power in the relational dynamic. And so I think that this moment was a very useful moment to that psyche and that reality of seeing the world as a victim, as a martyr, as being persecuted, regardless of the fact that evangelical Christians are the strongest floating block in our nation. They have incredible privilege when it comes to a lot of education, marriage inequality, things like that, that are from the long lineage of Christian nationalism in our country.Danielle (12:15):So then how do you work with folks that are coming in with that lens, and what's the responsibility of our field? I know you and I can't answer that question necessarily, but we can just say from our own experience what that's like. Are you willing to share a little bit of that?What would I say? My client load is mixed and so do a lot of work, but just because it's mixed doesn't mean that I'm not currently undoing that process in myself as well. So I think just as much as therapy is about whoever comes into my office or shows up in the zoom room or even a group or a teaching we've been a part of, I think it's, well, I mean we say this co-created, but I actually mean it means I have to keep learning. I have to keep trying to be in my body. And what I mean by that is I was talking to my friend Phil yesterday, and he was like, Danielle, are you tracking your body sensations? And he's like, I just challenge you to do that today. And I was like, man, that that's a good reminder. So I think one way I try to come with clients is from the perspective of I don't know it all.(13:38):I only know what I'm feeling and sensing in this moment, and I have that to offer along with other things I've studied, of course. But just because the person sitting with me doesn't have a degree or the group and the people, doesn't mean they don't know just as much as me. It's just another form of maybe learning or knowing or presence and healing. And then we're figuring that out together. I see that as one way of undoing, undoing this. I know everything point of view, which I kind of felt like I had to have when I came out of grad school. Yeah,Jenny (14:14):Yeah, totally. Yeah, I feel similar and I think often think in quotes. And so one of my favorite quotes is by Simone Devo, and she says, without a doubt, it is always more comfortable to endure blind bondage than to work for one's liberation. And so I am consistently asking, where is my blind bondage? Who are the people in my life that will show me where my blind bondage is? Who are the people that will hold me accountable to my own liberation? And for me as a therapist, I work primarily with white folks who grew up in fundamental Christianity. And over 10 years of doing that work, I think that a primary part of my work is radical agency(15:13):Because I think that particularly white bodies maintain privilege by abdicating our agency and by being compliant with the systems that give us power and give us privilege. And so I think for me, my ethic is how do I help clients come into contact with their radical agency? And so a big part of that that I think is important is consent. And so if someone is coming to work with me, it's part of my disclosure form, it's part of my intake to say, I don't think our mental health concerns or our somatic concerns exist in a bubble. They are deeply impacted by the systems we move through. And so while we'll be engaging your individual body, we're also going to be engaging the collective structures. And I've had people say, no, I don't want to do that work. And I say, great, there are other lovely therapists that will work with you and be a better fit. That's just not the type of therapy I do. That's not within my scope of practice to only focus on the individual, because for me, that's unethical.Danielle (16:23):Oh, that's cool. I like that, Jenny. I think that a lot. I was consulting recently, and we're just talking about this current moment, and I'll just say from my point of view that even in my family, I noticed when something had gone on locally, we have some organizing that we do and we had some warnings go out. And I noticed even in my own family, the heightened anxiety, the alert, and one of the things we had to do was we took turns driving around just making sure everybody's safe and everybody was safe. And I came down and at the point where people began to lower anxiety, and we're talking about just regular business owners, regular people out there, we're not even talking about immigrants, quote migrants. We're just talking about people out there that don't want to encounter force. You could feel the anxiety just lower now that we went the parking lot's clear, no one's here, we're safe. This isn't happening, not today. I'm not saying it won't happen here in our area of the country, but it's not happening today. And I realized in consultation later about clients and stuff that things are going to, but the clinician I was consulting with just said to me, she said to me, just for your family, she's like, that anxiety is warranted. That's real. You're supposed to feel anxious. There's no way you can take that away for those people and you shouldn't.(18:02):And so just kind of learning, reminding myself, when you go to grad school, when you study therapy and psychology, there's pathological, there's diagnoses, all these things, but then there's some things like we just can't take away. They're part of the experience. They need to be there. They're part of the warning. And there's a reason why when you get out and do something practical for a community, the anxiety lowers. And I think that just gave me a lot of insight, not just for my client, but for my family and for myself. And there's some calm, not because I'm anxious, but because, oh, I'm not crazy. I'm not just making this up. And so I do think that speaks to how the system is creating trauma and it is powerless. What can we do against the big bad authorities? And we can do things, we can connect, we can be with people, but at some level, that baseline of anxiety is going to be there because it's warranted. That's how I think of it.What do we do? Well, we sat at home, we watched sports. We went to Best Buy, and this is not every, we had some privilege. We bought an extra controller to play Mario World or whatever it was. I don't remember, but I was like, I'm not playing on that little controller. They wanted me to hold. I was like, I need a real controller. I'm old. I need to be able to feel it in my hands. Just silly stuff. Just didn't put pressure on the kids to do homework. Not a pressure to clean the house, just to just exist. Just be, yeah. What about you? What do you do when you encounter either anxiety from trauma like that or the systemic pressure maybe to even conform to whiteness or privilege in that moment?Jenny (20:12):I typically need to move my body in some way, whether that's to take my dog on a very long walk or whether that's just to roll around on a dance floor or maybe do a yoga practice. I become aware of how my body is holding that, and I think about how emotions are just energy in motion. And so if we don't give them motion and expression, it becomes like a battery pack in our nervous system. And so I can feel that if I haven't been able to move and to express whatever my body needs to express, and often I don't even know cognitively what my body needs to express, but I've grown in trust that my body knows, and I say, I think the sillier we look the better it usually feels. I just saw this lovely post the other day, a movement person did where they, we talk a lot about brainwashing, but we don't talk a lot about body washing, and we are so conditioned to only move our body in certain ways. And because our body is not different than our brain, I think that the more free we feel in our actual physical body to our own ability, the more that can actually create a little bit more mobility in how we see reality and how we engage with it.Danielle (21:44):So take that back to the beginning where you started talking about how when you have clients come in, you're like, yo, we're going to address this systemically and collectively. What do you do with folks when they have that kind of energy and you guys are working through it and it's like, oh, it's like maybe that's collective energy. What do you do? Yeah,Jenny (22:02):Yeah. I ask my clients probably annoying amount of times each session, what do you notice right now? And then I follow their body. So if their body says like, oh, I feel a lot of tension in my gut instead of alleviating that, I go, okay, great. Can you actually exaggerate that tension a little bit and see what happens? See if that tension wants to come out in a snarl or a growl, or maybe you want to curl up in a ball and I just follow whatever the impulses of their body are. Or if they say like, oh, I feel a lot in my shoulders. I'm like, great. Do you want to go push against a wall or push against the floor or punch a pillow and let your body actually get some movement into those spaces that you're sensing?Well, as I said, I'm very skeptical about individual work, even though I do it, I don't think is all that. I think it is both necessary and not that helpful for the collective(23:21):Because it is individual. And so I actually do think we need collective spaces of moving and expressing and being in our bodies. I think our ancestors knew this for before Christian supremacy and then white supremacy and then capitalistic supremacy eradicated how we've evolved to move in our and collectively. That being said, I do think that the more we become aware of how our body is constrained and how we've been socialized, especially I think for anybody, but for me, I'll speak to white bodies, we aren't always conscious. We take for granted whiteness and how it affects our bodies. So the first time I'm asking a white person, especially maybe a white woman to look pissed, that's going to be probably really scary because socially we are not actually allowed to be pissed. We're allowed to be dams, souls, and we're allowed to freak out, but we're not actually allowed to be strong and be powerful and be angry. And so I do believe that in that work of individual liberation and freedom, it actually helps us resist those roles and those performances of white womanhood that then perpetuate collective harm.Danielle (24:49):I can see how that shift would really impact the way one person both connects with their neighbor or a different person, even same race or same culture, and would impact not only how they relate and connect to that person, but also just how they might love.Jenny (25:10):Yeah, because I think it is dangerous. It is disproportionately dangerous to oppressed bodies when white women aren't holding our own anger because I think that there is a deferral to the police, to governing bodies to different authorities when a white woman is actually pissed, rather than saying like, Hey, you did this and it pissed me off, let's work it out here. Oftentimes that ends up actually getting policed to authorities that then disproportionately harm oppressed bodies. And so I think it is essential for white women to grow our capacity to bear. No, I actually am pissed and I can acknowledge that and engage that and be with it in myself.I do. I do actually. So I have been working on a book for the last six years in which I'm looking at the socialization of young white women in purity culture and this political moment of Invisible children, which was this documentary style film that manipulated an entire generation of young white women to get involved in missions or development. And so as part of my research, I interviewed many white women who grew up in purity culture and became missionaries. And there were some that maybe still had good relations with organizations such as invisible children and felt threatened or maybe pissed that I was inquiring into this. And so instead of engaging and talking about the emotions that were coming up, they went straight to interrogating my IRB and then went straight to is this research ethical? Even though I could tell they were really just angry and upset about what I was interrogating, and I would've much rather we could have that conversation than this quick sense of I'm going to go to the structures while I can maintain feeling like this demure pleasantness of white womanhood, even though I could feel the energy. And that's an example for me, and I have white privilege, and so there was still threat there, but it was not probably to the same degree that it could be if I didn't hold that same power and privilege that I do.Scared. I felt really scared and I had done everything ethically. I had hired my own IRB to oversee my research. I did their protocol and still I felt the wielding of power and the sense of I can move the system to act against you if I don't like what you're doing. And so it was really, really scary. And then I had to move my anxiety and my body and I had to shake because what I do often when I get scared and I had to let my body discharge that adrenaline and that cortisol, and then I was able to back to myself and respond and say, it sounds like you have some concerns, and being interviewed is totally optional so you don't have to do it. And then I never heard back from 'em, and so it was just helpful for me to get to move that through. Even in part of that process,Danielle (29:27):Jenny, is that energy still in you now or is it gong?Jenny (29:30):Oh yeah, totally. I can feel my body vibrating and even there's that fear of like, oh shit, what's going to happen if I talk about this? I can feel the silencingThe demand to be small and not to expose it because then I'm open to fill in the blank. And so I can feel the sense of how power wants to keep us from speaking truth to power and to those that wield it.Danielle (30:02):Man, I want to swear so bad, motherfucker. I'm not surprised. But I do think I continue to allow myself to be shocked. And I think the thing is, I know this can happen. I know it will happen. I think both you and I are writing on topics that are very interrogate this moment in a very particular way that's threatening. And so although I'm not surprised, I am allowing myself to continually be shocked, not I want to re-traumatize myself, but I don't want to lose the feeling of there might be somebody good out there, this might be well received. And also I want to maintain that feeling of like, man, I really love my friend. I believe in her. And I think allowing myself to kind of hold all those things kind of just allows me to wake up for the moment versus just numbing out to it. Man,So vicious. It's so vicious because you aren't taking their money, you aren't literally hurting them physically. You're not taking their power, and yet there's this full force. You've dedicated your life to this thing and they could take you out.Jenny (31:19):Yeah, and I think it's primarily because I am questioning white women's innocence and I think based on how race and gender work, a white woman's privilege and power comes from this presumed purity and innocence. And so if we start to disrupt that and go, actually, I'm human and I've done some shit and I've, I've caused harm and I will cause harm, and that's actually a really important part of me working out my humanity. Then I'm stepping out of the bounds of being protected under white patriarchy.Danielle (32:06):I feel like I learned, I feel like so much resonance with that. I've had many similar experiences, but one stands out where right after the election I talked with a friend of mine on the phone, and I don't remember if she is a white colleague from same grad school and said something like, oh, it's just a bummer. And we didn't really talk about it. And I was like, that's all you could say. I thought about that. And later I sent a really kind text saying, Hey, that really hurt my feelings. I don't know. It doesn't make sense why we haven't talked about it more. And then I didn't hear back. It just went silent. This is someone I'd known for seven years.(32:45):Then later I called and I was like, Hey, what's up? And they're like, I can't believe you would write that to me If I ever engage you again, I want to start here. Some other random place. I was just sat back and I was like, I'm not giving this any more energy at that time. I said that to myself and it was just like the complete collapse when I said, you hurt my feelings, the complete collapse. When I said, I don't understand this, can we talk about it? And then I went through this period this summer of just having this feeling. I don't want to be at odds with people. So I left this person a voicemail saying, Hey man, can we talk? I haven't heard back from them, but I feel like I did my part. But I'm just struck it even in down from the big view, like the 30,000 foot view or how that person wants to reign the system on you to even interpersonally, if I don't like what you said, I'm just going to remove my presence,Jenny (33:51):Which I think again, is so much of the epidemic of whiteness. And I think it then produces such a fragility that's like I don't actually know how to bear open conflict and disruption because I'm not practiced at it, and I just will escape every time someone calls me to accountability or says something I don't like. And we can't stay in that place of tension.Yeah. Well, I think one is that I feel those tendencies so much in my own body, and I do think that we have capacity to metabolize them. And so I literally might say something like, great, could you let your body get up and run around the room or run in place? Or maybe you stay seated but you let your legs and your arms kick. And they think that if we even just let ourselves express I want to fight, or if I want to flee or I want to get away from this and we let our body do what we need to do, we can then come back to ourselves and have fuller access to our capacity. And again, sometimes I do think there are relationships or communities or things that we do need to step away from. And sometimes if we've only ever learned to say yes, we might go through a process where we swing to the other side and we just cut everyone out and then we get to learn how to have discernment and how to enter into relationships thoughtfully and how to know who are those people we will be investing in probably for a long time.(35:43):And so it's not denying that those impulses are there, but it's letting our bodies metabolize them and work through them. And it makes me think of res, menkin talks about dirty pain versus clean pain, and I think dirty pain is just like, this hurts. I'm going to avoid it. And just disconnect and dissociate clean pain is like this hurts and I'm going to press into it and I'm going to see what it can teach me and how I can grow into a stronger, more mature person through this process.Danielle (36:16):Man, that sounds like some good work you could do with somebody. I think the thing about therapy, coming back to what you said at the beginning is I think we want a quick answer. We want, we want to go to a retreat, we want to show up at the gym. In my case, I go to the gym often. We want to go somewhere, we want to feel like we did it, we accomplished it. And often at the gym, I can hear my coaches are saying just little steps. Every week and above doing lots of weight, it's showing up as much as you can, being consistent. And I kind of hear that in a little bit of what you're saying. It's not like getting to the end right away. It's tracking your body and the sensations and showing up for yourself even in that way.Jenny (37:08):And I think even like that, I love that analogy. I often say relationships are like muscles. They're only as strong as the ruptures that they can handle. And stronger muscles have had more and more and more and more ruptures. We build muscle through tearing and rebuilding. And I think that that's the same with relationship too. But if we've never torn, then we're so afraid of what's going to happen. If there is a rupture,Danielle:I don't know that we're going to heal that, but someone recently said the system is collapsing. It really is. It's coming down on itself. And I think really it's going to come down to the work that you talked about at the beginning, however people are choosing to see it. But one way you talked about it was that monochromatic lens and adding a lens, adding a lens. And I do think the challenge for all of us, even to form something new, whether that means new government, I don't know what it means, but just even a new way of being together set the government aside. It means really forming, adding lenses to ourselves. Jenny, I hope you're coming back to talk to me again.It's okay. Where can they find your stuff? Tell me.Jenny (38:42):Yeah, so I'm on Instagram at indwell movement, and then my website is indwell movement.com. So find me at either of those places, email me, reach out, send a message, would love to connect.Danielle (38:59):Okay, cool. Well, that's a wrap on this episode. If you can share, download, subscribe, tune into what we're talking about. But more important, have a conversation with a friend, a colleague, a neighbor, challenge your therapist, challenge your family. Don't forget to keep talking. And at the end of the show notes are resources, just some resources. They aren't the end all, be all of resources, but I'm putting 'em in there because I want you to know it's important to do resourcing for ourselves.
