Give to help Chris continue making Truce Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique kicked off second-wave feminism in the United States. The book was published in 1963 and addressed what she called "the problem that has no name". As women's roles shifted with the invention of electricity and the number of workers needed to run farms decreased, women's roles shifted. The idea of a "traditional" woman went from a farm laborer or factory worker to someone who kept the home and managed her children's schedules. This left many women feeling unsatisfied and searching for their purpose in life. Friedan's book addressed those issues and inspired more extreme views of women. Several "Christian" books were published to respond to Friedan and second-wave feminism. One was The Total Woman, the number one bestselling nonfiction book of the year which has sold over 10 million copies. Published in 1973, it was the genesis of the scene in Fried Green Tomatoes where Kathy Bates goes to the door to meet her husband wrapped in Saran Wrap. It encouraged women to use costumes to greet their husbands, to avoid being "shrewish", and to use Norman Vincent Peele's philosophy of positive thinking. Another book was The Spirit-Controlled Woman by Beverly LaHaye. This was a companion piece to a book written by her husband Tim LaHaye, but it somehow managed to avoid telling women how to live by the Spirit. Special guests join Chris for this episode. Each took a different book so we can better understand this movement and counter-movement. Special Guests: Amy Fritz of the Untangled Faith podcast Anna Tran of the Love Thy Neighborhood podcast Jen Pollock Michel author of In Good Time, A Habit Called Faith, and Surprised by Paradox Sources: The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan The Spirit-Controlled Woman by Beverly LaHaye The Total Woman by Marabel Morgan Discussion Questions: What is your relationship to the books we discussed in these episodes? What is the difference between first-wave feminism and second-wave feminism? How have the roles of women changed in society in the last 200 years? What role did electricity, the Industrial Revolution and wars shaped those roles? What was the "problem that has no name"? How did/does it impact women's lives? How does this vision of feminism compare and contrast to biblical images of women? How have we added or subtracted from what the Bible says about women to create our modern image of a "Christian woman"? Morgan advised her readers to meet their husbands at the door in costumes. What is your opinion of this idea? What did she mean when she said she had been "shrewish"? Is that term insulting to women? Why? Is the "Christian ideal" vision of women one that requires women to stay home with children? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Part 2 of our conversation with Jen Pollock Michel as we continue to discuss her book, In Good Time. We are all busy, and have a hard time cultivating the habits that enable both being and doing. If we can't cultivate good habits, we have a harder time fulfilling God's mission. In this episode, Travis and Jenn discuss some of the seven deadly sins, and how our contemporary online lives are often guilty of the sin of vainglory, and our constant scrolling is a form of the ancient sin of acedia. We need to address these sins and cultivate habits that enable godliness. Jen is a writer, speaker, coach, and podcast host. She is the author of five books: A Habit Called Faith, Surprised by Paradox (winner of Christianity Today's 2020 Award of Merit for Beautiful Orthodoxy), Keeping Place, and Teach Us to Want (winner of Christianity Today's 2015 Book of the Year). She holds a B.A. in French from Wheaton College, an M.A. in Literature from Northwestern University, and is working to complete an M.F.A from Seattle Pacific University.

Author Jen Pollock Michel has found that one of the keys to being a good writer is just paying attention and being curious about the world and your own questions. Many of her books are a reflection of her own human experience of faith and her journey to find purpose and where to lean among all the everyday challenges that we all face from our bills, loss we encounter, health obstacles and relationships. In her work as a talented writer, speaker, coach, and podcast host, she talks about relying on a creator and the guide the bible can be in navigating our challenges. She has now authored five books, including: A Habit Called Faith, Surprised by Paradox (winner of Christianity Today's 2020 Award of Merit for Beautiful Orthodoxy), Keeping Place, and Teach Us to Want (winner of Christianity Today's 2015 Book of the Year) and her latest book released in 2022, In Good Time, about developing a more grounded, healthy life giving relationship with the clock. Jen holds a B.A. in French from Wheaton College, an M.A. in Literature from Northwestern University, and is working to complete an M.F.A from Seattle Pacific University. After eleven years of living in Toronto, Jen now lives in Cincinnati with her husband and her two youngest children.

Many of us wish to have stronger faith; faith that can move mountains and bless multiple generations. As faith is a measure of our spiritual habits, to get there, we must pick up good spiritual habits. This does not happen instantaneously, but requires deliberate action, because many of us rely on bad spiritual habits, such as venting our frustrations, to seek instantaneous relief rather than real change. However, in times of adversity, if we deliberately put our hearts into God's hands with all our mind and strength, then we will slowly but surely grow in faith. Indeed, we can do so even with little faith, as no matter how small our faith is, or how big our bad habits are, God will always be just a prayer away.
Jen Pollock Michele's legacy is about faith and the object of her faith; to stay close enough to Jesus— connected as a matter of habit—so that she knows His voice and obeys what she hears. Michele writes on faith in all her books and articles and the one we talk about today, A Habit of Faith--40 Days in the Bible to Find and Follow Jesus—is written for skeptics, seekers as well as old-timers like myself. She's offering a copy as a giveaway all week-long, so be sure to leave a comment to be entered by Sunday night. It's a Bible-reading experience for the convinced and the curious, in other words, everybody will benefit. I LOVED THIS BOOK! And, see where you can begin this habit journey on her website: A 5-Day Jumpstart to Your Habit Called Faith. About Jen in her own words: I've loved stories since childhood: the intrigue of my dad's boyhood adventures with his dog, Chief; the friendship of books when I was—yet again—the new kid in town. I followed stories into university, then graduate school where I studied literature. After I became a mom, I passed years with my children, crowded around picture books and reading good stories. As a Christian, it's always been the stories of Scripture that have interested me most. In the Bible, we come to discover that the events of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are the climax of God's story. Though many turn to the Bible exclusively for instructions about what to believe and how to behave, I've come to think that it offers us something even more expansive and beautiful and imaginative. Jen the author of four books: A Habit Called Faith, Surprised by Paradox (winner of Christianity Today's 2020 Award of Merit for Beautiful Orthodoxy), Keeping Place, and Teach Us to Want (winner of Christianity Today's 2015 Book of the Year). She's currently living in Ohio with her husband and their five children. Some gems to contemplate while you figure out if today you'll begin your 40 days of reading, listening, talking to the God who is in pursuit of you: If sin has to do with habits of autonomy, faith has to do with habits of dependence. When meeting with God, have a plan so you don't need to "start again" each time you meet. At God's initiative, he has made his home in us, and invites us to make our home in and with him. Jen's new book releases Decemeber in time for Christmas! But you can pre-order now: In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace Whether we're trying to find time, save it, manage it, or make the most of it, one word defines our relationship with the clock: anxiety. Yet is productivity really the only grid for the good life? Have you ever imagined a life without hurry, relentless work, multitasking, or scarcity? A life that is characterized instead by presence, attention, rest, rootedness, fruitfulness, and generosity? This is the kind of life we are meant for, says Jen Pollock Michel. But if we want to experience freedom from time anxiety, we have to reimagine our relationship with time itself. In the pages of In Good Time, she invites you to disentangle your priorities from our modern assumptions and instead ground them in God's time. Then she shows you how to establish 8 life-giving habits that will release you from the false religion of productivity so you can develop a grounded, healthy, life-giving relationship with the clock. _____ When asked, "What's the greatest commandment?" Jesus replied simply: "Love God, love your neighbor." I imagine He was thinking,"It's not rocket science" or "What's not to like?" or "It's not complicated." He was right, it's not complicated. I make it complicated. I need to pray daily to uncomplicate what He says is best for me and best for others. So I wrote 31 Days of Uncomplicated Prayers, and once I pray them through, I start over again. You can too. Sign up HERE to receive 31 Days of Uncomplicated Prayers to take the "complicated" out of the simple commands of Jesus. Love God. Love your neighbor. It's not complicated.
We're continuing our hard-hitting journey through the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 with a look at the letter to the church in Sardis. This church gets only the slightest of commendations and a stern warning to “Wake up!” This is a timely message because many professing believers were lulled into a sleepy sense of complacency over the last two years. The #1 issue facing churches around the world is finding people to serve as they did pre-pandemic. But to claim to be a Christian and not be serving is an act of hypocrisy, according to Jesus. I won't hide it from you: this promises to be another difficult message to hear.

You are forming habits all the time, whether passively or actively. So in a way, your life is a compilation of your habits. The question is: what kind of habits are we forming? And can we actually form habits that fortify our faith and help us grow in Christlikeness? Many of us hear the word “habit”, and we apply the concept to things like working out or washing our faces before bed. Or maybe we primarily think of “bad” habits, like the habit of biting your nails when you're bored or anxious; the habit of reaching for your phone when you're waiting in line; or the habit of binge eating sweets when you're stressed. But can “good” habits be cultivated with the aim of growing our faith? Why should this idea of habits be related to spiritual things at all? Habits mean automation. It means we don't have to invest as much energy and thought into doing something. When we put it that way, we can easily see how habits can be beneficial for our spiritual lives. Think about it: when you cultivate the habit of remembering God's faithfulness, you're going to find yourself calling that truth to mind when your life circumstances want to convince you that God has forsaken you. When you cultivate the habit of trusting in God to provide, you're going to refrain from despairing when you hit a rough patch. So what can we practically do to form these habits of faith? Today, we are joined by Jen Pollock Michel. Jen wrote the book A Habit Called Faith. Jen helps us see how habits impact our lives, and she offers practical advice so that we can form good habits that can help us grow in godliness. You can find Jen on Instagram at @jenpmichel and at her website (click here). Here are some questions we work through in this episode: What impact do habits have on our lives in general? (3:34) How might the impact of forming habits carry over into growing in faith? (5:57) What are some habits that believers can form to help us grow in Christlikeness? (8:50) What are some practical things we can do to start forming these habits in our lives? (13:08) What are some bad habits that might inhibit our growth, and how can we break them? (20:07) Why is the habit of Bible study particularly important for our faith? (28:49) How can we work toward building a Bible study habit when we don't feel motivated?

Today we are starting our Wholehearted EnneaSummer with a new friend, and Enneagram One, Jen Pollock Michel. I invited her on the podcast to share about her newest book, A Habit Called Faith. I'm a big fan of habits or at least making good ones, so a book to encourage building my faith habit is something I wanted to know more about. I was not disappointed in our conversation and in fact as I listened through a second time, I was taking notes on her wisdom about motherhood and launching adults, how the Enneagram has served her motherhood as she parents young adults, and even in how she cultivates her faith habits. I'm fairly confident you are going to enjoy Jen as much as I did!Interested in specific episodes about the Enneagram Type One?

What are your habits of faith? What comes to mind when I say that? Do you have faith habits that ground you and keep you centered on God, even when the going gets tough? This episode, we are going to get into the benefits of faith habits, why they are important to our Christian faith, and how they can actually be the key to others entering the faith! Jen answers questions like... There are some who do not want their faith to become "religious" or routine. Even then, why do we want to make faith a habit? Is there a particular heart posture we need to make our faith more than a mere habit but a continual, life-giving spiritual experience? In the book, you include the faith habit of scripture. What other habits of faith do you consider to be the most vital to our Christian experience?

She is the lead editor for Imprint magazine, published by The Grace Centre for the Arts, and host of the Englewood Review of Books podcast.In her private and public life, Jen has been intentional to create space for herself and others to lean into unanswered questions and complex emotions. She says, "[it has] always been the stories of Scripture that have interested me most: of Abraham and his doubt; of Hannah and her grief; of David and his failure. To think of Jesus, the still point of God's turning story is to recall the parables he told and the Passion he lived. Though many turn to the Bible for what to believe and how to behave, I've come to think that it offers us something even more expansive and beautiful and imaginative."________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Jen Instagram Twitter Facebook Subscribe to Post Script ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with TWU Student MinistriesFollow us on Instagram
