The Author Events Series presents Dr. Judith Joseph | High Functioning REGISTER In Conversation with Hannah Williams Emcee - Dr. Dalesa Rueda The first book to unmask the hidden face of depression. If you look fine on the outside but don't feel fine on the inside, learn five tools to break the cycle of High Functioning Depression and experience more joy in your life. In High Functioning, Dr. Judith Joseph reveals that what we're feeling is not simply ''negativity'' or stress. Drawing on original research, client cases, and her personal experience with HFD, Dr. Judith radically shifts the way those of us with HFD see ourselves, and empowers us with five simple tools to reclaim our lives from this widespread yet poorly understood condition. By following her 5 V's - validation, venting, values, vision, and vitals - we can wake up happier, find more satisfaction in our relationships, and feel better in the present while also looking forward to the future. Hannah Williams is a social activist and former data analyst tackling a major issue: salary transparency. After finding out she was underpaid, Hannah created Salary Transparent Street, a viral series interviewing strangers about their pay to help workers learn and earn more. She's testified in support of pay transparency bills in Virginia, Maryland, and DC, and her work has been featured by major media organizations like The Washington Post, TIME and BBC News. In 2023, she was named a Money.com Changemaker, and in 2024, she made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Dr. Dalesa Rueda is a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Inspired & Free, a multi-state virtual therapy practice rooted in culturally responsive care. With over 20 years of experience, she specializes in helping individuals and couples heal from anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. Known for her warm, relatable approach and deep community ties in Philadelphia, Dr. Dalesa is passionate about making emotional wellness accessible and empowering for all.

The Author Events Series presents Mike Sielski | Magic in the Air REGISTER In Conversation with Buzz Bissinger The evolution of basketball, and much of the social and cultural change in America, can be traced through one powerful act on the court: the slam dunk. The dunk's history is the story of a sport and a country changed by the most dominant act in basketball, and it makes Magic in the Air a rollicking and insightful piece of narrative history and a surefire classic of sports literature. When basketball was the province of white men, the dunk acted as a revolutionary agent, a tool for players like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell to transform the sport into a Black man's game. The dunk has since been an expression of Black culture amid the righteous upheaval of the civil-rights movement, of the threat that Black people were considered to be to the establishment. It was banned from college basketball for nearly a decade--an attempt to squash the individual expression and athleticism that characterized the sport in America's cities and on its playgrounds. The dunk nevertheless bubbled up to basketball's highest levels. From Julius Erving to Michael Jordan to the high flyers of the 21st century, the dunk has been a key mechanism for growing the NBA into a global goliath. Drawing on deep reporting and dozens of interviews with players, coaches, and other hoops experts, Magic in the Air brings to life the tale of the dunk while balancing sharp socio-racial history and commentary with a romp through American sports and culture. There's never been a basketball book quite like it. MIKE SIELSKI is a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer and the author of four books. The Associated Press Sports Editors voted him the country's top sports columnist in 2015, and his previous book, The Rise: Kobe Bryant and the Pursuit of Immortality, was published in 2022. Sielski lives in Bucks County, Pa., with his wife and two sons. Buzz Bissinger is among the nation's most honored and distinguished writers. A native of New York City, Buzz is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Livingston Award, the American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award and the National Headliners Award, among others. He also was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. He is the author of the highly acclaimed nonfiction books: Friday Night Lights, A Prayer for the City, Three Nights in August, Shooting Stars and Father's Day.

The Blasters & Blades PodcastThis is a dangerous interview, so be warned! I was left alone with author Tim Akers, another book nerdy who studied English once upon a time. So, we waxed poetic about literary goodness and then talked about the speculative fiction of our childhoods. Oh, and we discussed his The Knight Watch Series, which I definitely want to read now. Curse you, taking my money like this. Don't worry, Tim says he WILL spend it all in one place. Anyway, this was a fun interview, so go check it out. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!

In this episode, I'm joined by eleven dear friends who share what their time in God's Word looks like in their current season of life. You'll hear from women in different stages—homeschooling moms, empty nesters, full-time workers, caregivers, young adults—each finding simple, real-life ways to stay in the Word. Their routines may look different, but their hearts are the same: to draw near to Christ. My prayer is that their honest, grace-filled reflections encourage you right where you are and remind you that spending time with the Lord isn't about perfection—it's about meeting with Him daily, however that looks in your season.

Homemaking is so much more than just cooking and cleaning—it's about creating the atmosphere of our homes. In today's shorter devotional episode, I'm sharing a refreshed blog post that reminds us of the life-giving role the Lord has entrusted to us as Christian women. True peace in our homes doesn't come from having everything just right or crossing off our to-do list. It comes from Christ reigning in our hearts. The more we abide in Him—through His Word, prayer, and obedience—the more His peace flows into how we love and serve our families.

They discuss the upcoming farmers market season and the opportunity for people to interact with farmers and learn about agriculture. They also discussed Devin's history within the industry, along with some of the programs, initiatives, and the publication "The Natural Farmer" which NOFA provides to the community.NOFA's Local Food Initiatives:Devin explains that NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association) is a 50-year-old organization with seven state chapters supporting organics, land stewardship, and local food. The New Jersey chapter, which is 40 years old, focuses on supporting community and economic vehicles that make local food work. Devin discusses the challenges and opportunities in the current economic environment, emphasizing the need for collaboration and investment in local economies to build resilient, self-reliant food systems. He also highlights the importance of organic farming for health and the environment, and shares two exciting projects: a commercial kitchen to support value-added product creation for farmers, and a grains project involving a documentary and grain processing equipment installation to strengthen the local grain economy.NOFA-NJ Updates and Initiatives:Devin also discussed NOFA-NJ's upcoming events and website, encouraging people to check for future activities starting in July. Amaris and Devin also talked about NOFA-NJ's outdoor project which is nearly complete and can accommodate around 50 people.

What does it mean to walk in wisdom with eternity in view? So much of life is fleeting, but God calls us to set our hearts on what will last forever (Colossians 3:1-2). In this final episode of the Walking in Wisdom series, we're stepping back to see the bigger picture—how wisdom not only guides our daily decisions but prepares us for eternity. ✅ Are we investing in what truly lasts—knowing Christ, growing in holiness, and pointing others to Him? ✅ Are we storing up treasures in heaven instead of being consumed by what will fade away? ✅ Are we living in light of eternity, keeping our eyes on Jesus? Jesus reminds us: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). This is about more than just wise choices for today—it's about shaping our lives for eternity.

This is the second episode in our Walking in Wisdom series, where we're looking at how biblical wisdom shapes the way we live each day. Wisdom isn't just for the big decisions—it's for the small, everyday choices that shape our lives. In this episode, we're talking about what it means to walk in wisdom in our daily routines, responsibilities, and relationships. How do we choose faithfulness over busyness? How can we speak with wisdom and listen with grace? What does it look like to seek God's priorities in the middle of everyday life? Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us to “look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time.” If you've ever felt stretched thin or overwhelmed, I pray this conversation encourages you to pause, seek the Lord, and trust that He will direct your steps.

Wisdom isn't just about knowledge—it's about living in a way that honors the Lord in our daily choices. In a world full of distractions, how do we stay focused on what truly matters? In this episode, we begin a three-part series on Walking in Wisdom, looking at what biblical wisdom really is, how it differs from worldly wisdom, and how we can seek the Lord's guidance in our everyday lives. We'll explore Ephesians 5:15-16, where Paul urges us to walk carefully, making the best use of our time because the days are evil. Are we measuring our days by how much we accomplish, or by our faithfulness to the Lord? Are we seeking wisdom in the small, ordinary moments of life? Join me as we lay the foundation for walking in wisdom, trusting God's Word to guide our steps.

It's so easy to assume the worst about others—to misread a friend's words, question someone's motives, or let suspicion take root in our hearts. But 1 Corinthians 13:7 reminds us that love “believes all things” and “hopes all things.” What does that look like in daily life? It's not about ignoring wisdom or discernment, but about extending grace, choosing trust over doubt, and reflecting the love of Christ in how we think about and respond to others. In this episode, we discuss why believing the best matters, why it's often difficult, and how we can live this out in marriage, friendships, parenting, and church life. There's freedom in choosing grace over suspicion, and it builds trust and unity in our relationships. My prayer is that this conversation encourages all of us to ask the Lord to shape our hearts to reflect His love more fully.
