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.

Tracey is still punishing himself over a momentary lapse of concentration which could have cost him his life. The former jockey and multiple Gr 1 winning trainer committed the sin many horse people are guilty of when trying to cut corners. He got in the way of a cranky mare whose double barrelled kick missed another horse and connected with him. Eight weeks and five operations later Tracey is relieved to be back at work and making a good recovery. He's the first to admit the accident shouldn't have happened. Tracey says he learned what pain was all about in his riding days, and when he suffered a serious medical issue in 2006. He says the pain resulting from his recent accident was the worst he's ever experienced. He shudders to think of the likely outcome had his wife not come to the rescue.  Tracey looks back on his tiny stature when he first became  apprenticed to the late Frank Penfold. He says he weighed 36 kgs when he rode his first winner. He says he wasn't the first jockey in the family. Tracey pays a heartfelt tribute to the man who taught him the fundamentals of horse management. He now realises that he couldn't have been with a better teacher. He says another Rosehill trainer provided his very first winner. The respected horseman looks back on his first metropolitan win on the Penfold trained Folkestone Bay. He says he was merely a passenger on the giant gelding. Tracey hasn't forgotten the publicity sparked by the win and clearly remembers a Channel 9 News Story the following day. He talks of the transfer of his indentures to Kerry Walker when Frank Penfold relocated to Queensland. The Wyong trainer says the Walker trained Dinky Flyer was the best horse he's ridden. He also won a race for Tommy Smith on Dinky Flyer's full brother Rajahmah. He looks back on half a dozen rides on the notable stayer Lord Hybrow which included a win in the listed Stayer's Cup at Rosehill. Tracey reflects on the thrill of riding two high profile horses in trackwork. He talks of the Narromine race fall that brought his riding career to an abrupt halt. His injury list was horrendous. Tracey says he was 42 and just beginning to gather momentum as a trainer, when stopped in his tracks by a cancer diagnosis. He won the battle and was enjoying good health until his recent setback. He says 2006 was a year of fluctuating fortunes. He was barely getting his life back on track after the cancer scare, when his once in a lifetime horse walked into his stables. Tracey fondly remembers the early career of Snipers Bullet and the gelding's thrilling Stradbroke win as a three year old. He looks back on the remainder of the horse's stellar career which featured two more Gr 1 victories. Bartley speaks highly of Slick Sniper with whom he won 13 races and posted 14 placings. He was Sniper's Bullet's full brother. With the two day Scone Carnival just over, Tracey recalls his trilogy of black type wins in 2018.  He looks back on the career of talented mare In Good Time whose best days came after a horror accident in the Wyong equine swimming pool. Tracey presents an insight into the career of Kiss Sum, winner of the inaugural Four Pillars in 2021. He's looking forward to the gelding's next preparation. The trainer brings us up to date with the progress of his brilliant apprentice Anna Roper who's been on the sidelines since November with a complicated knee injury. It's a laid back chat with a first class horseman and a first class bloke.

Today we are going to be talking about “Productivity in the Perspective of God's Timing.” Time management today is a hot topic. We are all so busy trying to fit everything we can into our day, that time management has actually become a big industry. There are countless books, podcasts, and other resources that tell us how to get more done in less time which can sometimes cause us even more anxiety. But what if we view the idea of efficiency through God's perspective? Would we get the same answers to the dilemma of managing a fast-paced life with a mile-long to-do list? Our guest today, Jen Pollock Michel, author of the book, In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace, is here today to talk about how our primary call as Christians is not to practice habits of productivity but to practice habits of fruitfulness that lead us into faithfulness to God and others.

Do you derive your value and identity from productivity? Do you try to live beyond your limits? Do you try to live a super-human life rather than a human life that is Spirit-filled?Most of us are constantly asking how we can get more done in the 24 hours a day we each have. We read books, go to workshops, and download apps to help us manage our to-do lists and be as productive as possible. But if we're honest, I think we also suspect we're missing the point. Something is off. We work hard and run fast through our day, but we're usually exhausted and unsatisfied when we come to the end of it. This conversation with Jen Pollock Michel is so helpful in trying to understand work, productivity, and our limitations as humans. Jen Pollock Michel and I talk about: * How time management originated in factories with stop watches and how keeping time mechanically is altogether inhuman.* Whether or not productivity and time management are even for our good.* How women are often required to manage both shifts—the one at work and the one at home.* What God's time is like—he is from everlasting to everlasting, so how does he measure productivity?* How the posture of time management is really just about control.* How God is the maker and giver of time. As humans we must receive time in whatever ways God deems is for our good.* How to confront our own frenetic energy and our idolatrous urgency to produce.* Considering a practice of gratitude and receiving the limitations in our lives.* The idea of a Rule of Life—developing routines and habits and practices that will help us to love God and neighbor.Jen Pollock Michel: https://www.jenpollockmichel.com/In Good Time, by Jen Pollock Michell: https://us.10ofthose.com/product/9781540900548/in-good-time-paperbackA Habit called Faith by Jen Pollock Michel: https://us.10ofthose.com/product/9781540900531/a-habit-called-faith-paperback/?affiliate=jenoshmanThe Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction by Justin Whitmel Earley: https://us.10ofthose.com/product/9780830845606/the-common-rule-paperback?affiliate=jenoshman

Jen Pollock Michel joins Shelby to chat about her new book In Good Time and why a lot of the productivity advice floating around isn't necessarily the best advice to take. Jen's encouragement to resist hurry for the glory of God may be just what you need today. She's also asking and answering some important questions about the way we manage our schedules. Should our goal be to get the most done? Or should it be to do the right thing in the right way at the right time?

A lot of us are on a quest to fit everything we need to get done into our schedules. But few, if any of us, are ever actually able to fit it all in. Oftentimes, when we can't fit it all in, we feel guilty. But we're all human and can only fit in what we fit in.Today, Jen Pollock Michel joins host Jon Eckert to discuss her new book In Good Time and the lessons she's learned managing her time over the years. She also discusses how her time management missteps have helped her gain wisdom and understand she's human and instead of feeling guilty she needed to reimagine what productivity meant to her.To learn more, pre-order Jon's book, Just teaching: Feedback, engagement, and well-being for each student.The Just Schools Podcast is brought to you by the Baylor Center for School Leadership.

Be sure to listen to how Jen discusses a couple of truths she has landed on, including-  “Time belongs not to us but to God.”  “There is always enough time to do what God has planned.” Whew. So good but often so hard to live, am I right, friends?!  She reminds us of the importance of living not in our timing or the timing of others but in having the courage to live in God's timing for our lives.  So much wisdom is found in what Jen discovered while writing her most recent book titled, In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace…. I promise you don't want to miss out on this eye-opening conversation!

Some of the assumptions we often have concerning time management and how we can ground our lives in God's timing. The eight practical habits for reimagining productivity and how embracing those will help us develop a healthier relationship with the clock. Favorite quotes: “A faithful life is a courageous life. Tuning our ears to God's voice takes a lot of courage.”  “A practical place to start is to think about habits and practices of everyday life.”   “There is not a right way.

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.
