Why do some people risk their own lives to help another person, or give away their fortunes for the benefit of strangers? This week, we talk with psychologist and neuroscientist Abigail Marsh, who studies the science of altruism. We'll explore what's known about the brains of people who perform acts of remarkable selflessness, and how the rest of us can learn to be more like them. Do you have follow-up questions, comments, or stories about altruism and generosity after listening to this episode? If you'd be comfortable sharing with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a voice memo on your phone and email it to us at ideas@hiddenbrain.org. Use the subject line “generosity.” And if you liked today's conversation, please check out our sister podcast, "My Unsung Hero."

This episode is about journals, how the spirit feels and how it testifies to us, and about standing in holy places.   From the manual: Christmas Day is usually a time to ponder messages like “peace on earth” and “good will toward men” (see Luke 2:14). But on December 25, 1832, Joseph Smith's mind was occupied with the threat of war. South Carolina had just defied the United States government and was preparing for battle. And the Lord revealed to Joseph that this was only the beginning: “War,” He declared, “will be poured out upon all nations” (Doctrine and Covenants 87:2). It seemed like this prophecy would be fulfilled very soon. But then it wasn't. Within just a few weeks, South Carolina and the U.S. government reached a compromise, and war was averted. But revelation is not always fulfilled at the time or in the way we expect. Nearly 30 years later, long after Joseph S mith was martyred and the Saints had moved west, South Carolina did rebel and civil war followed. Since then, war throughout the world has caused “the earth [to] mourn” (Doctrine and Covenants 87:6). While the prophecy was ultimately fulfilled, the value of this revelation is less in predicting when calamity will come and more in teaching what to do when it does. The counsel is the same in 1831, 1861, and 2021: “Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved” (verse 8).   Some of the apps I talked about were: Chatbooks for printing your Instagram accounts Happy Feed daily gratitude posts Day One Journaling App StoryWorth website sends email prompts that you fill out and return and they make it into a book.

Zach sits down with his mother Joe and his stepfather Otis to explore their journey from painful pasts to a peaceful present. Joe and Otis reflect on their “practice marriages,” the controlling dynamics they each endured, and the moment they realized they wanted something different. They share how a foundation of friendship, autonomy, and mutual respect became the bedrock of their 25-year relationship. From non-dating to dancing, from beach trips with girlfriends to golf trips alone, Joe and Otis have built a partnership that celebrates individuality and shared joy. You'll hear about Otis's journey of temper management, Joe's reclaiming of personal agency, and the subtle, intentional kindness that keeps their love strong, despite physical pain, aging bodies, and the trials of real life. Key Takeaways There's life after divorce—and it might be the better lifeBoth Joe and Otis came from long, controlling marriages. Their second partnership, formed later in life, is more respectful, equal, and full of joy. Friendship is the foundationTheir relationship began as school colleagues and friends, then grew over time into something deeper, supported by laughter, shared values, and trust. Kindness is the cornerstoneOtis says the best description of their marriage is that they've “learned to be very kind to one another.” The five-minute anger rule worksOtis, who struggled with rage in his youth, now uses a strategy where he's allowed to be mad for five minutes, then lets it go. Joe even sets a timer. Agency mattersJoe talks about finally being able to “be herself” in this marriage, without fear, control, or pressure. Otis's calm, non-controlling nature allows her space to thrive. Caregiving is mutual and meaningfulAs they age, they care for each other with intention and grace. Joe says she always knew Otis would take care of her, and she's glad to do the same. Guest Info JoeZach's mom. OtisZach's stepdad and former high school gym teacher. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join us as we explore how our tables can become sacred spaces where barriers crumble, relationships deepen, and the good news of Jesus spreads powerfully.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the kind and generous Karen Ledbury. Karen has been a television presenter in Australia for three decades and for the last 18 years has graced our screens on Channel 7’s The Morning Show and Sydney Weekender. She’s worked for every commercial network in Australia, and describes how her early days working alongside Bert Newton was the best training in the industry. In this heartfelt episode, we hear about the funny and interesting stories from Karen’s TV career, as well as the incredibly harrowing period that Karen faced recently when in a 6-month period her father passed away, her husband suffered a catastrophic stroke and her 19-year old son was diagnosed with cancer. Karen opens up and shares about the day when her world was turned upside down, when she received a text message whilst she was on air that her completely healthy husband had been taken to hospital, and they didn’t think he would make it through the night. We hear about the powerful moment days later which completely shifted Karen’s perspective. She talks about the importance of gratitude, living in the present and giving back. As someone who has been through so much, it’s so inspiring that Karen still devotes so much of her time to giving to others through her charity work. We felt all of the emotions in this conversation - there were lots of laughs but also tears. It really was a beautiful moment of connection and we hope you feel as uplifted and inspired as we did listening to Karen’s story.

On July 9 in sunny Key West, Florida, what began as a routine moment—waiting for a chicken to cross the road—escalated into a full-blown road‑rage incident. Cynthia Diaz Sosa, 38, halted her car on Petronia Street to let the chicken pass. Another driver, Perla DeMiller, grew impatient, honked, sped past, and tragically ran over the bird. Fueled by fury, Sosa pursued DeMiller to the intersection of Emma and Olivia Streets, forced her vehicle to stop, and pulled out bear mace—spraying both DeMiller and her passenger in the face. The victims were treated on the scene while Sosa made a clean getaway, later turning herself in.What started as a simple act of kindness turned into an arrest—raising questions about extreme road rage, animal empathy, and whether justice in this case is “fowl” or fair.This Week's Featured Hashtag#PoolPartyDosandDontsOther Interesting ThingsCity of Key West Code of Ordinances Sections 10-11Send a text to The Ebone Zone!

Is Superman Woke—or Just Wonderfully Human?   Can a superhero cut through the world's chaos better than a political debate or another sermon? New York Times columnist David French and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore explore why Superman still strikes a cultural nerve—especially in the age of outrage and “wokeness” debates. From his immigrant origins to the often-overlooked theme of adoption, they unpack how James Gunn's 2025 reboot revives timeless questions about identity, belonging, moral courage, and kindness. This conversation is more than capes and kryptonite—it's a surprising, thoughtful, and even fun look at the stories shaping who we are.   (00:00) - Exploring the Resonance of Superhero Myths (07:24) - Fun That Connects To Deeper Needs (10:10) - A Jewish Immigrant's Myth (15:40) - Exploring James Gunn's Superman 2025 (23:06) - Is Superman Woke?  (27:04) - Kindness as a Countercultural Value (34:11) - Parenting With Superheroes and Morals (51:09) - Credits   Donate to Redeeming Babel   Resources mentioned in this episode: Russell Moore's article Why Superman Matters David French's column Kindness Is MAGA Kryptonite J.R.R.
