“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning.”Fred Rogers aka Mister Rogers.I talk about Johan Huizinga's book Homo Ludens.he describes play like this:“Play is a free activity standing quite consciously outside 'ordinary' life as being 'not serious,' but at the same time absorbing the player intensely and utterly.”You can't be serious, is this your real job? is one of my pet peeves and an instigator for this whole 30 episode season. I explore it further  in this episode.Child's play is serious.Adult play. what is it?Work and play.

In this episode, hosts Dave and Ann Wilson bring back Jordan Raynor to continue their conversation about how to integrate faith into everyday work. Jordan passionately discusses the concept of sacred versus secular work, challenging the common divide between the two. He emphasizes that everything, including our secular jobs, can be sacred if we approach them with the right mindset, recognizing that Jesus is Lord over all of life. This idea is rooted in the belief that God is with us everywhere, and that it's not the nature of the work that makes it sacred, but the intention behind it, the manner in which it is done, and the communion with the Holy Spirit in the process.Jordan shares a personal story from his college years, recounting a moment when he was offered a chance to try out for the Cincinnati Bengals, but he turned it down, believing that God was calling him into full-time Christian ministry. Reflecting on that decision, Jordan critiques the advice he was given, noting that many young Christians are told to pursue full-time ministry while neglecting the value of secular work as a calling in itself.Jordan also discusses his new book, Five Mere Christians, in which he highlights five influential individuals who lived out their faith through their work in ways that impacted the world. These figures include Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers), Fannie Lou Hamer, Ole Kirk Christensen (founder of LEGO), Hannah Moore (a poet and abolitionist), and C.S. Lewis. He explores how these individuals exemplified what it looks like to glorify God through everyday work, even when it was not considered traditional Christian ministry.Jordan details Fred Rogers' life, particularly his deep commitment to serving children through his show, "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." Fred's life was marked by his understanding that his work in television was a form of ministry. His compassion, especially for underprivileged children, came from his own childhood experiences and his deep relationship with God. Fred's intentional choice to be present with people, to slow down and offer them his full attention, is highlighted as a critical aspect of his Christ-like behavior.Throughout the episode, Jordan challenges listeners to rethink how they approach their own work. He offers practical advice on how to eliminate hurry, make space for margin in our calendars, and prioritize relationships over tasks. The conversation emphasizes being fully present with the people we interact with and cultivating a pace of life that allows us to show the love of Christ in tangible ways, just like Fred Rogers did.

Hello, neighbor, I mean, Slackers!This week we are going to explore the educational live-action children's shows of the 1970s and 1980s that defined the Generation X experience. These programs were foundational, delivering lessons with creativity and care in an era before digital media. From the community spirit of Sesame Street to the gentle guidance of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, it's all about the shows that made education engaging and actually fun. My personal GOATs? Fred Rogers and Captain Kangaroo! The Electric Company used characters like Morgan Freeman's (!) Easy Reader to teach reading to older children, while Romper Room's Miss Nancy instilled manners through her Magic Mirror. Reading Rainbow, hosted by LeVar Burton, encouraged a love for literature, and Mr. Wizard's World made science accessible with Don Herbert's experiments. Each program contributed to a foundation of curiosity and empathy.There are also a ton of lesser-known shows like Zoom, which empowered children to create their own content, and The Big Blue Marble, which introduced global perspectives. Villa Alegre promoted bilingual learning, and 3-2-1 Contact brought STEM to life. These shows were more than entertainment; they were trusted sources of knowledge and connection for a generation.Available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, and major streaming platforms.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Five Mere ChristiansDevotional: 1 of 5But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. (Luke 5:16)Today we're kicking off a new series where I'll introduce you to five “mere Christians” who show us what it looks like practically to glorify God via seemingly “secular” work. First up? Fred Rogers.At the height of his fame, Rogers received a letter from Kathy Usher about her daughter, Beth, who had a rare brain disease that caused hundreds of seizures a day. The only thing that made them stop? Watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.Before a critical surgery, Kathy wrote to Rogers asking for a signed picture to comfort Beth. But Rogers did one better. He called Beth that night and for nearly an hour, Beth talked to Mr. Rogers about everything from her fear of dying to her longing for friends.But just wait—this story gets crazier. During surgery, Beth slipped into a coma. And Rogers called every single day for two weeks to check on her. After one call, Rogers dialed Beth's surgeon, Dr. Ben Carson, and asked if he could visit Beth in person. Of course, Dr. Carson and the family agreed. And Rogers flew out the very next day to pray for Beth and perform a private puppet show at her bedside. A few weeks later, she woke up.Reading this story in a Starbucks, tears streamed down my face as I thought, Who does that? The answer: Someone so filled with God's love that they can't help but pour it out on others.Fred Rogers accomplished more than most people ever dream while also spending more time with his heavenly Father than most people ever dare. As one of his friends put it, Fred “fiercely guarded his time of quiet and reflection.” And in this, he reflected his Savior who “often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Luke 5:16).This points to an important principle: We mere Christians glorify God by making time to experience God's love so that we can extend God's love to those we work with.To that end, let me challenge you to put a physical object in your workplace to remind you of the love God has for you. I did this months ago by hanging a replica of a sign that hung in Rogers's office for decades. It's a Hebrew printing of Song of Solomon 2:16 which says, “My beloved is mine and I am his.”Do whatever you need to remind yourself of God's love for you so that you can't help but extend his love to those you work with today.

From 2012 - Benjamin and Christopher Wagner talk about their documentary film about Fred Rogers, "Mr. Rogers and Me."

Young learners explore their world through play. It was Fred Rogers who said, "for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." Listen to guests on past episodes of Remaking Tomorrow discuss the importance of play and learning for young people especially when done alongside trusted adults.

everything [in] between: stranger & neighbor But wanting to vindicate himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” ~Luke 10:29 It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could you be mine? It's the simplest question of all, and for more than thirty years, Fred Rogers began his wonderful children's show on PBS with that simple question— Won't you please, Won't you please? Please won't you be my neighbor? Now that Jesus has “set his face to go to Jerusalem,” he encounters many people along the way, and he tells lots and lots of stories. This week, we will read about a lawyer who approaches Jesus with a question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus, as he often frustratingly does, turns the question back to the lawyer. “What is written in the law? What does it say there?” And the lawyer answers correctly. “Love God, love your neighbor, and love yourself.” “You're right!” Jesus proclaims. But the lawyer has another question: “Who is my neighbor?” prompting Jesus to tell one of his most beloved parables, a story we know as the Parable of the Good Samaritan. That is the question we will explore on Sunday morning, the question Mr. Rogers raised centuries later… Who is my neighbor?

The timeless lyrics from Fred Rogers' beloved song “Won't You Be my Neighbor” remind us of the simple yet profound value of being a good neighbor. Most listeners of this podcast probably remember Mister Roger's Neighborhood that aired nationally between 1968 and 2001 and became a staple of children's television, focusing on themes of kindness, empathy and community. In times of disaster, when uncertainty and fear can overwhelm us, the essence of these words becomes even more powerful. Disasters test the strength of our communities and being a good neighbor means stepping up with kindness, support, and connection. It's not just about asking, “How can I help?” but it's showing up emotionally for for those around us in their greatest moments of need. In many ways, being a good neighbor is showing love with intentional actions that foster connection and make a difference. This is especially relevant as this airs with the recent disasters faced by many in California with so much loss by fire. Greg and I share a few thoughts that will hopefully inspire you to reach out to someone who needs a hug, encouragement or even a helping hand.

Text us your questions!This is one of our favorite interviews we've ever done. Nicholas Ma (son of famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma) is a filmmaker best known for producing the 2018 documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? about Fred Rogers. We speak with him about his latest documentary Leap of Faith, which follows a group of Christian pastors from diverse sociocultural and demographic backgrounds in the Grand Rapids, MI area for a year as they attempt to form community across theological and social dividing lines. The film is a challenging and raw exploration of vulnerability and what it means to practice Christian faith in our political moment. Nicholas himself is a gentle, kind, empathetic, and almost preternaturally wise person who made us a bit more hopeful about our situation. We also get a chance to discuss Mister Rogers and what we can learn from him in this moment.The video clip of Nicholas playing piano with his dad on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as a child can be seen in part here.We had intended to release this episode at Christmas, but life got in the way. Somehow it seems even more fitting to release it today, when we remember Martin Luther King Jr. as we simultaneously inaugurate the most divisive and authoritarian President in our nation's history. We know that conversations like this can sometimes feel trite in contexts like that, like putting a band-aid on a hemorrhage. But Nicholas helps us refocus, to think not about what's insurmountable, but about what is manageable in our particular context. To look, as Fred said, for the helpers, and to ask again what it means to love our neighbor.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

In 1969, Mr. Rogers went before the US Senate Commerce Committee to request funds to support the growth of Public Broadcasting. His heartwarming request is often remembered as a pivotal moment in American television history, highlighting the importance of educational programming that serves the public good. Today, that mission endures, and Mike Norton and his team at PBS continue to honor it in their own way -- by stretching every public dollar as far as it can go. In a world where resources are finite but the demand for quality, accessible content is ever-growing, these engineers work behind the scenes to maximize efficiency, leverage innovative technologies, and make every penny count... for viewers like you.
