The Importance of Family Family has been described as “the glue which holds the fabric of society together.” From the very beginning, family has been central to God's plan. 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” In Genesis 2:18 , God says,…

Guilty pleasures! We use the phrase all the time, but what does it really mean? Can reading a book ever be a guilty pleasure? A listener suggests that it can - and Jacke invites two frequent History of Literature guests to test the theory. For this day-before-Thanksgiving special treat, Laurie Frankel (This Is How It Always Is, Family Family) and Mike Palindrome, the President of the Literature Supporters Club, help Jacke find some guilty pleasures, in literature and life. PLUS Jacke gives his own top ten guilty pleasures. AND Mary Flannery (Geoffrey Chaucer: Unveiling the Merry Bard) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. Enjoy!

Message from Tony Ledet on September 8, 2024

You're planning a road trip — you've got snacks, you've got directions from Los Angeles to New York, and you've got a deep sense of curiosity and longing as the home you know fades quickly into your rearview mirror. For the forty-five year old artist at the heart of Miranda July's All Fours, the pull towards the unknown proves a little too tempting. She pulls off the highway a mere thirty minutes from home, but far enough away to dive headfirst into a journey of surprises, thrills, and the authentic absurdity of human connection. In her upcoming second novel, Miranda July spins her seasoned comedic skills with thoughtful nuance to craft an exploration of identity and desire in mid-life womanhood. What does our protagonist expect, and what is expected of her, and how much should she care about those expectations in the first place? All Fours is a quest for experiences as much as answers and July has plenty of pit stops planned for readers to stock up on discovery, sexy sparks, and personal reinvention. Miranda July is a director, filmmaker, artist, and author. Her works include the award-winning collection of short stories No One Belongs Here More Than You and New York Times bestselling novel The First Bad Man, as well as the films Me and You and Everyone We Know and Kajillionaire. Her writing has been featured in The Paris Review, Harper's, and the New Yorker. Laurie Frankel is the New York Times bestselling, award-winning author of five novels, including her new one, Family Family, as well as One Two Three and This Is How It Always Is. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Poets & Writers, Publisher's Weekly, and other publications. She is the recipient of the Washington State Book Award and the Endeavor Award.   Buy the Book All Fours: A Novel Third Place Books

We desperately need a revival of the family alter! God designed the family to be the place where children are introduced to Christ and are instructed in righteousness. Unfortunately, in our busy world today, family worship of often neglected. Simeon joins me to discuss the importance God places on parents spending time teaching their children God's Word.

This Saturday's "Saturday Matinee" on Vintage Classic Radio kicks off with the delightful "Our Miss Brooks" in the episode titled "Summer Vacation," which originally aired on September 4th, 1955. In this episode, the ever-enthusiastic Miss Brooks, portrayed by Eve Arden, looks forward to a peaceful summer vacation but her plans are humorously thwarted by the unexpected company of her beloved, albeit quirky, colleagues and students. The cast includes Gale Gordon as the blustery Principal Osgood Conklin, Richard Crenna as the earnest student Walter Denton, Jane Morgan as Mrs. Davis, and Jeff Chandler as the charming Mr. Boynton. Following that, we'll tune into "The Hardy Family" with an episode from 1949 called "Family Night Watchman.” Here, Mickey Rooney reprises his film role as the energetic teenager Andy Hardy. In this episode, Andy takes on the role of a night watchman for the family business, leading to a series of comedic misadventures. The episode features Lewis Stone as Judge Hardy and Fay Holden as Mrs. Hardy, bringing warmth and wisdom to the Hardy household. We cap off the matinee with "The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show" in the episode "Hotel Harris" from October 5th, 1952. Phil Harris and Alice Faye play exaggerated versions of themselves, dealing with the chaos of running a hotel. The humor escalates with Phil's bumbling management style and Alice's attempts to maintain order. The show also stars Elliott Lewis as Frankie Remley, Walter Tetley as Julius, and Robert North as Willie, all adding to the hilarity with their unique quirks. Each episode promises a blend of humor and nostalgia, bringing some of radio's most beloved characters back to life for the modern audience.

Today's episode has a particular focus on family travel, and I'm joined today by Jessica Gee, the matriarch of one of the most well known travelling families in the world, The Bucket List Family, who I'm sure many of you follow on Youtube and social media. The Bucket List Family's story began back in 2015 when Jess and her husband Garrett decided to sell everything and leave home with their two children, for a journey around the world together. Eight years and another son later, they've visited more than 90 countries, have grown a following of 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and 3 million Instagram followers, and continue to find ways--big and small--to add to their lifelong travel bucket list.As a family of five, they've swum with whales in Tonga, slept in castles in Ireland, lived on a houseboat in Amsterdam and eaten breakfast with giraffes in Kenya. Jess shares how having been raised “a traditional all-American girl” whose family favoured trips to Disneyworld over international travel, she never imagined she would end up seeing so much of the world. Now she's partnered with National Geographic on her debut book, which provides all the know-how to fulfil your own family's bucket list—including how-tos for picking a destination, packing, budgeting, and even surviving a 12-hour plane ride. And it's these kind of practical questions as well as her Jess's travel chapters, that now as a parent myself, I'm so excited to uncover today. I've followed Jess and the family for years now, with a mixture of admiration and envy, and it's so interesting to hear about life on the road with three little ones.

Family and social media can be loving and bring us together, but they can get complicated and messy fast.  In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Laurie Frankel, whose novel "Family Family" unravels the layers of family, specifically an adoptive family, as seen through the eyes of her protagonist, India Allwood, her adoptive daughter Fig and the daughter she gave up for adoption Rebecca.  Laurie's journey as an adoptive mother lends authenticity to the narrative, highlighting the complexities and the rich tapestry of relationships within a family, all wrapped up with her signature humor and depth.We also peel back the layers of the online world, and Laurie and I acknowledge its power to both unite and isolate us.   Plus, our protagonist, India's narrative in "Family Family" is a powerful allegory for our times, where the digital age is a double-edged sword, and the definition of family extends beyond traditional blood ties.BOOK:Family Family by Laurie Frankel on Amazon or Bookshop.   SHOW NOTES & BOOKLIST:Find the episode show notes and a list of all the books mentioned here.MORE RESOURCES:Visit bibliolifestyle.com for more information and resources to help you in your reading journey.JOIN THE COMMUNITY:Join the BiblioLifestyle Community & the Bring Your Own Book (BYOB) Club for a fun, online book club experience!  Come and share books you've read, get inspiration for what to read next, make friends, and encourage each other along the way.  Learn more and join the community: bibliolifestyle.com/community.JOIN THE BIBLIOLIFESTYLE COMMUNITYInside the community, we are reading and living better together!

What I Learned from Interviewing 100 Plus GuestsA reflection on 120 podcast episodes.Episode Highlights:In this first episode of "Insights into Culture and Leadership," I share a powerful story from my experience in Haiti after an earthquake. I draw a contrast between good and bad leadership, exemplified by a compassionate youth leader working with orphans and harsh teachers in a school.In Haiti, I met a Haitian youth leader who demonstrated exemplary leadership by working with earthquake orphans, fostering healing through music and expression. This contrasts with a negative example in a nearby school of teachers berating, punishing and humiliating students. The youth leader's approach inspired self-expression and confidence in the orphans. The contrasting experiences highlight the influence of leadership on behaviour and actions. I define good leadership as that which brings help, insight, health, and healing to individuals, community, and the environment.The story serves as a backdrop for my subsequent reflection on the common themes I observed in the 120 interviews I conducted for the Culture and Leadership Connections podcast.Six Key Insights That Emerge from The Interviews That I've Conducted:Role of Hardship and Adversity: All interviewees, regardless of the type or severity of their challenges, spoke about the transformative role of hardship and adversity in shaping their character.Transformation from Suffering: Those who thrived, understood the value of transforming suffering, leading to increased empathy and a profound ability to connect with others.Embracing Community: Almost all interview guests expressed a sense of belonging to a community or society, recognizing the importance of collaboration and shared values. Only three out of the 120 felt like they did not need a community to thrive.Fluid Identity and Solid Values: Interviewees exhibited a willingness to evolve and adapt their identities while holding onto solid values. Humility Through Unexpected Challenges: Even those with privilege and talent faced unexpected challenges, fostering humility and a realistic understanding of life's uncertainties.Influence of Family: Family, whether positive or challenging, played a foundational role in the development of each person interviewed.I conclude the episode by emphasizing the significance of reflection, transformation, and humility in leadership, whether at home or in the workplace. Considering how these themes have proven formative for you, could reveal some new insights!Support the show

EPISODE SUMMARY: Embark on a transformative journey with real estate visionary Tommy Harr, as we unravel his ascent from diligent home inspector to master of the housing market. Together, we traverse the landscape of Tommy's early days, where family roots in property maintenance laid the groundwork for his ambitious leap into property investment. With an infectious entrepreneurial zeal, he imparts the wisdom gained from direct involvement in renovations, teaching us that the true mortar of success in real estate lies in the hands-on approach and the pivotal influence of family. Tommy's tale unveils the art of scaling a business, the criticality of starting when the stakes are less daunting, and the youthful courage to embrace risk. We dissect his strategic response to the COVID-19 crisis, where agility in marketing and an unwavering commitment to direct communication proved vital. His narrative is punctuated with personal triumphs, from easing his parents into retirement to the exhilaration of growing his own family, reminding us that the milestones that shape us are not just fiscal but deeply personal. Closing with the profound realization that every empire begins with a single brick, Tommy inspires with his journey from grassroots to grandeur. His experience demonstrates the potency of setting attainable goals, persisting through adversity, and the momentum one gains as small victories snowball into remarkable success. Join us for an episode that not only celebrates Tommy's story but also equips you with the insight to carve your own path in the ever-evolving realm of real estate. BIO: Tommy is a 29-year-old home inspector turned real estate investor born and raised in Pickerington, Ohio. By the time he was 27 he was financially free and a millionaire through real estate investing, starting with $0 in his bank account!

Help! I Have A Toxic Family | Family Matters | Pastor Mike Signorelli by Mike Signorelli

Family, we all have them, and we often struggle with them. For some, family are the closest people in their lives; for others, we feel distant and disconnected. For two weeks, we want to explore how God works through our families and how we are called to invest in our families no matter what stage of life we are in. Join us this week as Mike and Hope Kuckel explore Deuteronomy 6:4-9 ESV and how we influence our families to follow Jesus. Speakers: Mike and Hope Kuckel Text: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 ESV

When this show started, there were five Fast & Furious movies. There are now ten. And in almost all of them, Vin Diesel talks about how the only thing that matters is family. In fact, that might be the only actual dialogue in the entire series. So naturally, we named our podcast after it. That's right, it's not because we're a family doing a podcast. It's all because of Vin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
