We define what dreams are, and we look at scripture to help us understand how our dreams are God-given, and they don't have to be selfish! We dive into the idea of dreaming with the Lord: this includes discernment in our dreams, learning how the devil attacks us particularly in our dreams, and what obstacles get in the way of our dreaming.

Welcome to the first of a 3-part series on the unique and yet also universal wounds that we experience as women.  We talk about where these wounds come from, going all the way back to the very first woman, Eve. We talk about our ability, as women, to be mothers, and the nuances of what that means theologically and also practically. We look at how and why our fertility and mentalities around fertility are the primary place that women experience attack. This ultimately means that our relationships suffer from these wounds: with God the Father, with members of the opposite sex, and also with fellow women. And although these wounds are universal, we see that these wounds show up differently for every woman.The only remedy is to give our wounds back to the Lord, at the foot of the cross and to ask the Lord for healing!Follow Alex on Instagram and at her blog https://www.joymamablog.com/.

Welcome back to the podcast, Blake Brouillette! If you missed our previous conversation, check that out here!We talk about the services Christ in the City provides in the city of Denver. The purpose is twofold:  to form missionaries, and to serve the poor in the chronically homeless.  The hope is that this mission will expand beyond Denver into other communities in need!I share how "Blessing Bags", an idea Blake shared with me previously, has changed our family's life. We talk about what it means to see others not as strangers, but as someone who needs love. We also talk about the absolutely indispensable need for community as the basis of mission life (you can't serve strangers if you don't love the people you live with!) We also each share our experiences of thinking we could change the world, and being humbled by what we could learn from the poor. Blake shares some wisdom about finding your own Calcutta, and figuring out how to serve exactly where you are. If doing something about homelessness is on your heart, please donate to Christ in the City and help them serve and expand!

Much has been made–justifiably so–about the anemic diversity represented in film and television, most problematically when roles originally written for people of color are rewritten for white actors. So consider if you will the concept of a 5’ 4” woman of Indian descent writing and playing the part of a famously strapping white male actor – in 2002, no less. The off-Broadway play (that would be Matt & Ben, in case you were wondering) hardly seems like the breakout opportunity of a lifetime for anyone. But Vera Mindy Chokalingam, 23 years old and barely out of college at the time, is about as un-anyone as they come. Matt & Ben was named one of Time magazine’s “Top Ten Theatrical Events of the Year,” and its co-writer/co-star (better known these days as Mindy Kaling) praised by The New York Times for her fine, deadpan sense of the absurd and the vicious. As fateful showbiz stories often go, in the audience one night was producer Greg Daniels, who was working on an American adaptation of The Office. He hired Kaling as a writer-performer on the show. Make that the only female writer on a staff of eight, and soon its most prolific. “Your average writer, when they get really good, I know how they got it,” Daniels told The New York Times. “I can see the steps. But I love how with Mindy, I don’t see how she does it.” We have a speculation or two. Kaling grew up on Fawlty Towers and Saturday Night Live, and says she realized pretty early on that the only thing she really liked doing was writing dialogue. Listening to the characters on her shows, you get the feeling that there’s so much rapid-fire conversation looping in her head that it’s all she can do to keep up; no wonder Kelly Kapoor, Mindy Lahiri and their co-workers seem to spring fully formed like mini-Athenas from the crowded forehead of a comic Zeus. It also spills over into books (Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? And Other Concerns and Why Not Me?) and a Twitter feed as random and entertaining as it is followed – by more than 7.5 million fans. Kaling’s on-screen alter egos are at once reflections and antipodes of Kaling herself. They love and feed on the pop-culture they send up. They’re unapologetically self-involved and superficial, proof that Kaling has no problem being the target of her own gimlet-eyed humor. In its review of The Mindy Project’s first episode, The A.V. Club wrote, “What’s most intriguing about this project is just how harsh it is about its lead character, who is certainly not without flaws…Kaling has her eye on doing something more ambitious than the standard TV claptrap.” Say what you want about her characters, they are not clichés. Ambitious, demanding, egocentric, romantically messed up, yes, but not anything you’d find among the seven standard Hollywood-issue female roles she barbecued in a 2011 New Yorker piece. Which gives us high expectations for what she’ll do with her role in Sandra Bullock’s all-female remake of Ocean’s Eleven. High hopes, too, given how sorely comedy needs what she does. It is funny how the honesty we love in bold female characters can still unsettle us in the women who play them. And maybe that’s why there remain many who are reluctant to make waves. Kaling is not among them. Talking to her, you sense an entitlement, but it’s one of privilege earned – through talent, risk, constantly proving one’s place at the table, and mostly, very hard work. “I feel I can go head-to-head with the best white, male comedy writers out there,” Kaling has said. (And if you can convince an audience you’re Ben Affleck, why wouldn’t you?) Though she’s more than proven her point, let’s hope she’ll never stop making it.

We’re so dashing excited about this episode! Diana finds herself talking about one of the simplest punctuation marks - the humble hyphen. There are no fewer than seven (seven!) different hyphen-like characters commonly used, including four different dashes, a mathematical minus sign, a catch-all stand-in called a hyphen-minus (a hyphenated hyphen!) and finally… the hyphen. Plot twists and turns take listeners on a roller coaster ride in Punctuation Park… and Diana tells a really bad joke about hyphens… and Kelly Kapoor is quoted. It’s pretty magical.

In this episode, Leah interviews iconographer Elizabeth Zelasko. Elizabeth shares her journey with art, conversion, and learning to walk away from the plans that she had for the (better!) plans God had for her.

Dziś chciałbym wam opowiedzieć o moim ulubionym serialu, a także o książce, która o nim opowiada. Chodzi oczywiście o serial The Office - wersja amerykańska, czyli krótko The Office US. Pierwowzorem był brytyjski serial, który będę nazywać The Office UK. W tej chwili uczę się hiszpańskiego i oglądam sobie wersję z Chile, która nazywa się La Ofis. Tak więc będę dzisiaj mówił o tych serialach, szczególnie tym amerykańskim oraz o książce: “The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s: An Oral History”, co można by przetłumaczyć jako: “The Office: Nieznana historia najlepszego Sticomu z 2000 opowiedziana w wywiadach”.Zacznę od książki. Niedawno zacząłem słuchać podkastu: “Office Ladies”, w którym dwie aktorki z The Office US omawiają kolejne odcinki serialu. Tamten podkast prowadzą Jenna Fischer czyli serialowa Pam Beesly oraz Angela Kinsey czyli serialowa Angela Martin. Początkowo ich audycje bardzo mi się podobały. Podawały wiele fajnych szczegółów odnośnie serialu. Niestety później poszły w kierunku historii typu “podczas kręcenia tego odcinka jadłam jogurt malinowy”, a drugi odpowiada “jak ty śmiesznie wypowiadasz słowa jogurt malinowy”. Wtedy wpadł mi w ręce audiobook “The Office Untold Story”.Podkast “Office Ladies” ma jedną zaletę. Prowadzą go autentyczne aktorki, które zapraszają innych aktorów. Tak więc można ponownie usłyszeć znajome głosy. Książka “The Office Untold Story” jest zbiorem wywiadów z aktorami, reżyserami, producentami itd. Audiobooka czyta wielu lektorów, niestety nie są to aktorzy. Lektorów dobrano dość dobrze tak więc np. wypowiedzi Creeda Brattona czyta lektor mówiąc w dość podobny sposób. Niestety to nie jest oryginalny Creed jak w podkaście “Office Ladies”. Niemniej treść książki jest o wiele ciekawsza.Jak już powiedziałem są to wywiady z osobami pracującymi przy serialu, nie tylko aktorami. Opowiadają oni to co pamiętają. Czasami jedni zaprzeczają drugim bo jakiś szczegół pamiętają zupełnie inaczej. Autor czyli Andy Greene zaczyna od brytyjskiego oryginału. Opowiada jak Ricky Gervais i Stephen Merchant stworzyli The Office UK. Opowiada oczywiście przy pomocy wywiadów. Później przechodzi do Grega Danielsa czyli geniusza, który stworzył amerykańską wersję The Office. Greg pracował przy wielu znanych produkcjach, ale najbardziej znane to chyba The Simpsons oraz The Office.Nie będę opowiadał wszystkiego co jest w książce, bo chciałbym was zachęcić do jej przeczytania albo przesłuchania. Warto jednak zwrócić uwagę na zmiany, które wprowadzono w amerykańskiej wersji. Brytyjska wersja jest krótka to tylko dwa sezony po 6 odcinków oraz dwa odcinki tz. Christmas Special z dwoma odcinkami. Amerykańska wersja to 9 sezonów, które miały około 20 odcinków. Pierwszy sezon jest najbardziej zbliżony do brytyjskiego pierwowzoru i ma tylko 6 odcinków. Pilot jest niemal dokładnie taki sam. Innymi słowy Amerykanie na początku kopiowali Brytyjczyków. Na szczęście później coś się wydarzyło.Steve Carell, który gra szefa w amerykańskiej wersji czyli Michaela Scotta zagrał w filmie “40-letni prawiczek” (ang. The 40-Year-Old Virgin). Brytyjski szef grany przez Ricky’iego Gervaisa jest popisującym się palantem, którego muszą znosić pracownicy. Amerykański Michael Scott też taki był w pierwszym sezonie. Jednak po filmie Steve’a Carella postanowiono zmienić postać amerykańskiego szefa. Dalej jest on popisującym się głupkiem, ale jest to pokazane w taki sposób, że mimo wszystko da się go lubić, a czasami nawet mu współczuć. To ta zmiana sprawia, że The Office US można oglądać wciąż na nowo podczas gdy brytyjski pierwowzór jest momentami bardzo uciążliwy do oglądania. Tak więc czytając (lub jak jak słuchając) “The Office Untold Story” można dowiedzieć się wielu rzeczy. Np. ewolucji postaci Michaela Scotta, powodów dlaczego odszedł w 7 sezonie. Ale dlaczego był to tak dobry serial?Za ten sukces odpowiada producent Greg Daniels, który z docenianiem podchodził do ludzi, którzy z nim pracowali. Pamiętał imiona nawet ludzi odpowiedzialnych za drobne rzeczy, ale co ważniejsze pozwalał innym podejmować wiele decyzji. Szczególnie ważne, że pozwalał na to scenarzystom. The Office US wyróżnia właśnie zespół ludzi piszących scenariusz. Wielu z nich nie tylko pisało, ale także grało w serialu, np. B. J. Novak grał Ryana Howarda, Paul Lieberstein - Toby’iego Flendersona, a Mindy Kaling - Kelly Kapoor. Łatwo zauważyć, którzy aktorzy byli scenarzystami. Nie mogli oni za dużo grać, tak więc rzadko przebywali w głównym pomieszczeniu The Office.Fakt, że scenarzyści grali w serialu sprawił też chyba, że mieli lepszy kontakt z aktorami. Nie tylko scenarzyści pisali. Pozwalano także aktorom na zmiany i improwizację. Np. ostatni odcinek drugiego sezonu czyli “Casino Night” napisał sam Steve Carell. Ciekawe są też postacie drugoplanowe, początkowo nie miały one swoich filmowych imion, tak więc aktorzy posługiwali się prawdziwymi imionami. Z tego powodu Angela i Oscar mają takie same imiona jak aktorzy, którzy ich grają. A Creed Bratton naprawdę też nazywa się Creed Bratton. Scenarzyści wykorzystywali też umiejętności aktorów. Np. Rainn Wilson umiał grać na wielu instrumentach, tak więc i jego postać czyli Dwight Schrute także umie grać.Były to czasy tz. pozytywnej dyskryminacji i niektórzy scenarzyści zostali zatrudnieni ze względu na rasę. Takim przykładem jest Mindy Kaling grająca Kelly Kapoor. Dzięki niej powstał jeden z moich ulubionych epizodów - sezon 3, epizod 6 czyli “Diwali”. Później w ramach tej pozytywnej dyskryminacji zatrudniono więcej kobiet scenarzystów. Choć warto wspomnieć, że kobiety pracował tam od początku, po prostu zatrudniono ich więcej. Moje osobiste zdanie na temat tej pozytywnej dyskryminacji jest takie, że to jest oksymoron i w dyskryminacji nie może być niczego pozytywnego - to dalej dyskryminacja. Niemniej cieszę się, że zatrudniono Mindy Kaling.Wielu scenarzystów było fanami The Wire (polski tytuł “Prawo ulicy”). Zaowocowało to tym, że zatrudniono kilku aktorów z tamtego serialu. W ten sposób pojawił się Idris Elba grający Charlesa Minera oraz Amy Ryan grająca Holly Flax. Co ciekawe zatrudniono ich bez prób. Po prostu scenarzyści tak ubóstwiali The Wire, że bez przesłuchań (ang. audition) brali ich do The Office.Jak już wcześniej wspomniałem autorki podkastu “Office Ladies” skupiają się na prywatnych sprawach aktorów. W książce jest na odwrót wszyscy skupiają się na serialu, co jednak nie znaczy, że nie pojawiają się tutaj prywatne sprawy. Np. w czerwcu 2000 roku Angela wyszła za mąż za Warrena Liebersteina, brata Paula, który grał Toby’iego. Mieli córkę, ale niestety w 2009 doszło do separacji, a w 2010 roku do rozwodu. Innym takim wydarzeniem, które miało wpływ na serial był strajk scenarzystów w USA.Gdy rozpoczynano kręcenie The Office US nie były jeszcze tak popularne sieci społecznościowe. Jednak w 2007 roku pojawił się pierwszy iPhone i podczas prezentacji tego smartfona Steve Jobs pokazał, że można na nim oglądać seriale, np. The Office. Był tam pokazany jeden z dowcipów jaki Jim zrobił Dwightowi. Był to ważny moment dla The Office, które zyskało wtedy nowych fanów. Między innymi mnie. Ja oglądałem tą prezentację i wprawdzie nigdy nie kupiłem obie iPhone’a ale za to stałem się fanem The Office US.Książka opisuje ogromny sukces miał odcinek przygotowany na Super Ball. Był to odcinek 14/15 z 5 sezonu “Stress Relief”. Pojawili się w nim Jack Black, Jessica Alba and Cloris Leachman. To był kolejny moment gdy przybyli fani The OfficePóźniej sieci społecznościowe miały wpływ na losy postaci. Np. Andy miał zniknąć z serialu na koniec 3 sezonu, ale ponieważ widownia go polubiła później wrócił. Ciekawe jest to, że scenarzyści sami nie znali zakończenia historii The Office, a szczególnie wątku miłosnego. Debatowano wiele scenariuszy, a decyzje podejmowano też na podstawie tego co pisali fani na forach i w sieciach społecznościowych.Dzisiaj żyjemy w czasach poprawności politycznej. Wydaje mi się, że taki serial jak The Office nie mógłby powstać dzisiaj. Np. szef używa słowa “nigger”, ma konflikt z “gejami”. Wszystko to jednak zrobiono w taki sposób, że rasizm szefa jest śmieszny, podobnie z jego homofobią. Scena z pierwszego odcinka drugiego sezonu “Gay Witch Hunt” przeszła do historii. Niestety już wtedy było widać pewne oznaki lewicowości Hollywood. Np. postać Dwighta pokazuje jak Demokracji widzą Republikanów. A trzeba wam wiedzieć, że wszyscy scenarzyści, producenci i chyba większość innych pracowników serialu głosowali na partię Demokratyczną. Jaki to miało wpływ na serial?W 2012 roku debatowano nad tym czy Dwight nie mógłby został szefem. Odbywało się to jednak podczas kampanii prezydenckiej 2012 roku, kiedy to republikanin Mitt Romney walczył z demokratą Barackiem Obamą. Dwight szefem nie został, a scenarzyści i producenci tłumaczyli to w ten sposób, że nie mogli szefem uczynić kogoś kto był tak republikański jak Dwight. Takie uprzedzenia są w zasadzie wszędzie w Hollywood. Wtedy jednak mimo wszystko mimo tego wychylenia w lewo w stronę partii demokratycznej dało się to oglądać, bo serial był po prostu śmieszny. W 2020 roku Greg Daniels wraz ze Stevem Carellem zrobili nowy serial “Siły kosmiczne”, w którym wyśmiewają się z obecnego prezydenta. Niestety poszli chyba zbyt daleko w swoich uprzedzeniach i ten nowy serial trudno nazwać komedią.Nic chyba dziwnego, że teraz The Office US odkrywa młode pokolenie. Niedawno prawa do tego serialu dostał Netfliks i młodzi, nawet 12-latkowie bindżują ten serial. Tak ja określam klasykę. Dla mnie klasyczne powieści, to takie, które zostały napisane dawno temu, ale ludzie, którzy urodzili się później także znajdują w nich coś dla siebie. Takie powieści są nieśmiertelne. Tak samo jest z serialami. Seriale takie jak The Office US czy The Wire miały swoich fanów, ale później odkrywają je kolejne pokolenia. Odkrywają je i oglądają. Tak ja definiuję klasykę. Tak więc w

Leah was invited as a guest on the Transforming Discipleship podcast, which released April 27th through Christianity Today's smallgroups.com.In this episode, Oliver Hersey is joined by Leah Darrow, author of “The Other Side of Beauty” and Kelsey Collister, who produces that podcast. Leah walks us through John 4, where Jesus encounters the Woman at the Well.Leah pointed out vs. 4 “And he had to pass through Samaria.”She said “What I love about this, is that this is the mission of God the Father. You are the mission of God the Father. Sometimes we can feel so forgotten in this world.”She drew attention to the fact that, in order for ministry leaders to disciple others, they have to have hard conversations with them. What can we learn from Jesus about how he questions the Woman at the Well? Leah said “Jesus poses questions to us, just like he does for the Samaritan woman, in which he is the answer.”Tell us what you want to hear about on Do Something Beautiful!

Jarf is a fan of Kelly Kapoor. But he'd never want to be friends with someone who acted like her. So perhaps its because Mind Kaling took that role and transformed it into a memorable character that he finds her so endearing. But then is that still the character or a behind-the-scenes anecdote? See what Jarf thinks as he shares the contents of Kelly Kapoor's Office Directory. That … and Tim goes off topic ... sort of. For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

We work in the annex with Mindy Kaling, creator of The Mindy Project. Kaling made her break as Kelly Kapoor in The Office (U.S.), and has since gone on to star in, produce, write, and direct a multitude of acclaimed projects. Her latest show, Never Have I Ever, just premiered on Netflix.   0:00 - Intro: Check Out Film Buds & Music Buds! 5:10 - Discussion: Mindy Kaling 39:43 - Outro: Newsoforange.com   Follow Us!
