“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9This powerful verse is often quoted when we talk about generosity, and rightly so. It shows us that generosity isn't just a financial principle—it's rooted in the very heart of the Gospel. Today, Dr. Nathan W. Harris joins us to explore that connection more deeply.Dr. Nathan W. Harris is the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at The University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama. He is also the author of A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace.What Is Gospel Generosity?Gospel generosity is giving rooted in the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Generosity is not merely a virtue for the Christian life but a cheerful disposition that springs forth from the gospel. This kind of generosity arises from new life in Christ, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and reflects the Father's model of grace throughout creation.At its core, gospel generosity isn't just about giving—it's about proclaiming and portraying Christ's saving work in our lives. It signifies a radical transformation of a believer's heart and mind, leading to joyful stewardship of resources in service to God's kingdom.Beyond the Tithe: A Higher CallingOne of the most debated topics surrounding generosity is the concept of tithing. Are Christians called to tithe, or is there a greater expectation?While tithing—giving 10%—is not explicitly required for Christians, the gospel calls us to something far greater. We aren't obligated to give; instead, Christians have an incredible gospel opportunity. We are called to live generously, humbly, selflessly, and with the kingdom of God in mind.This perspective reframes giving not as a rule to follow but as an act of grace and worship, rooted in gratitude for what Christ has done.How the Gospel Transforms Our View of MoneyThe gospel transforms our hearts and minds and revolutionizes how we approach money and stewardship. Martin Luther once said:“There are three conversions in one's life—the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the pocketbook.” When we encounter Christ, our hearts are filled with affection for Him, and our minds are set on heavenly things. However, many Christians struggle to surrender their finances to God fully. You can't hold on to Christ while also holding on to your money.A heart transformed by the gospel desires to honor Christ above wealth. A mind renewed by the gospel prioritizes kingdom values over worldly ones. This transformation shapes every aspect of our financial lives, from earning and saving to spending and giving.Living as Stewards of God's ResourcesWhen our hearts and minds are fully surrendered to Christ, our finances naturally follow. Giving becomes not just an obligation but an act of worship and a reflection of the gospel's transforming power.To explore these ideas further, check out Dr. Nathan W. Harris's book,  A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace. This concise guide offers biblical wisdom and practical insights into living a life of joyful, gospel-rooted generosity.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a whole life insurance policy for my mom that we've been paying on for about nine years.

Titus 2:6-8Today's workplace demands much from us: creativity, leadership, ideas, and enthusiasm. Oftentimes we're tempted to give our workplace the best of us. If you are drowning in a lack of energy at home, you are doing too much outside to stay afloat. Learn to say “no.”

In this NBN episode, Hollay Ghadery speaks with Lindsay Wong about her short story collection, Tell Me Pleasant Things About Immortality (Penguin, 2023).  SHORTLISTED FOR THE BC AND YUKON JIM DEVA PRIZE FOR WRITING THAT PROVOKESFrom the bestselling, Canada Reads-shortlisted author of The Woo-Woo comes a wild, darkly hilarious, and poignant collection of immigrant horror stories. They'll haunt and consume you—in strange and unsettling ways.Living forever isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Hearts can still break, looks can still fade, and money still matters, even in eternity. The ghosts, zombies, and demons in this collection are all shockingly human, and they're ready to spill their guts. Vanity, love, and tragedy are all candidly explored as the unfulfilled desires of the dead are echoed in the lives of modern-day immigrants. Story-by-story, the line between ghost and human, life and death, becomes increasingly blurred.There's a courtesan from 17th century China who, try as she might, just can't manage to die. Grandmama Wu, who returns from the dead to protect her grandchildren from bullies. Not to mention an Internet-order bride who inadvertently brings the apocalypse to Nebraska City.From Shanghai to Vancouver, the women in this collection haunt and are haunted—by first loves, troublesome family members, and traumatic memories. Intertwining horror, the supernatural, and mythology, Tell Me Pleasant Things about Immortality riotously critiques contemporary life and fearlessly illuminates the ways in which the past can devour us. A collection about transformation and what makes us human, it solidifies Lindsay Wong as one of the most vital and electrifying voices in Canadian literature today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Epilogue: Manjushri's Burden from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner I SET THE CHAIN SAW down on the stump of the tree which I had just felled and sat down on the log to drink from my canteen. It was the very same orange water bag I had purchased to take with me to India two years ago. I looked up through the bare November trees at the sun edging toward the apex of its low autumn arc. Then I looked at the piles of cordwood I'd accumulated along the road during the past months. There would certainly be enough for the stoves before the first snowfall. Satisfied, I picked up my saw and headed back to the house. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 20 minutes 58 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Romans 5:3-5Hard times call for two things: Friends and character. If you have gone through hard times in recent days, you know the value of both. Character rests on truth, reinforces a life, and resists the temptation to compromise. Those who've impacted our lives the most have been people of character.

Living in a period increasingly fraught by various crises and risks, it is more necessary than ever to be able to metabolize anxiety into something useful. But what about at a cultural level? The behaviors that the current economic superstructure rewards cannot form the basis of what emerges from its ashes…we require new ways of thinking and living that put us in closer relationship to one another and the planet around us. In a system structured to serve as a dissipative structure, how do we plant the seeds of something that is more resilient and cooperative? In this week's Frankly, Nate addresses how we, as humans, might adapt and take on characteristics that will allow us to face the coming challenges of our world head-on. Through a framework of “cultural mitochondria,” Nate explores 10 traits that will help to shape the way we move through and address the human predicament. These are not far off ideals to think about once, then forget about. These are behaviors that require deep and regular practice, perhaps one of the most important tasks of our time. How can we become more grounded and regulated in our bodies in order to become agents of change? What does it mean to metabolize grief into resilience and action? And how do we expand empathy and humility for one another as we grapple with increasingly isolating conditions?

This Week on America's Podcast  Strap in, folks—this week we're diving headfirst into a swirling pool of flannel, feelings, and post-grunge gloom as we break down Counting Crows' August and Everything After with guests Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez. Is this album a poetic masterpiece or just the sound of someone staring out a rainy window with a journal and a half-smoked cigarette? We ask the tough questions—like: Is this what happens when you quit heroin but keep the angst? And did Adam Duritz invent sad guy core? Tensions rise, opinions fly, and someone may or may not throw a metaphorical punch over the use of the accordion. No spoilers—but if you thought grunge was dramatic, wait 'til you hear these takes. Tracks of the Week (a.k.a. The Mixtape You Didn't Know You Needed): Jerry brings the Gin Blossoms and their codependent anthem "Hey Jealousy"—because what says love like passive aggression? Andy serves up Billy Idol's "Flesh for Fantasy"—because nothing says subtlety like leather pants and pelvic thrusts. Travis goes full night-creature with Blue Öyster Cult's "I Love the Night"—probably recorded under a full moon while making eye contact with a wolf. Marc gets soulful with "Living for the City" Slash ft. Tash Neal—because nothing's more punk than Stevie Wonder and civil rights. And The Mooger Fooger closes it out with "All the Dead Girls" by Dream Car—because apparently we're ending on a high note… in the goth sense. So until next week: stay off smack, hug your weird friends, and never trust a man with dreadlocks and a top hat unless he's holding an acoustic guitar. #countingcrows #freeformrockpodcast

Embracing Life: What If Today Was Your First or Last Day? In this episode of Personal Development Unplugged, we dig into two simple but powerful questions: What if today were your last day? What if it were your first? This is an extract from a live Q&A call I did for my son's (Joseph Clough) Mind Mastery group, and invite you to reflect, respond, and explore what really matters in your life. It's not heavy or dark—it's a spark. A chance to wake up to what you're doing with your time and how you want to live going forward. What you'll discover in this episode: The power of writing letters of love and gratitude—and who they need to be sent to. How small acts of kindness help shape the legacy you're already leaving behind. Why waiting for “someday” is a trap—and how to flip into action now. How to live with intention and awareness, instead of drifting on autopilot. A simple, powerful way to visualise your best self—and take the first steps to becoming them. You'll hear honest conversation, real moments with listeners, and practical insights that can shift your perspective in just one listen. This is the kind of reflection that leads to action—and action that changes everything. Call to Action: If this episode resonated with you, pass it on. https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/447-on-life-and-how-we-might-live-it Subscribe, follow the podcast, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that their time—and their life—matters.

“Elphaba wasn't the villain. She was the spellbreaker.” In this powerful Pride Month episode, Alexander Blue Feather reflects on the moment Wicked became his lifeline. It was June 2003, freshly diagnosed with HIV, newly exiled from the Mormon church, and standing at the edge of a new life. Then Elphaba soared across a Broadway stage, green-skinned and defiant, and something shifted forever. Now, 22 years later, Alexander returns to that sacred moment as the trailer for Wicked: Part Two, For Good is released. He shares how Elphaba became a queer archetype and teacher, how sobriety reshaped his soul, and why pride means more at 52 than it ever did at 30. This episode celebrates 10 years clean from hard drugs, explores the grief of losing a parent, honors gender expansiveness, and affirms that queerness is holy. It's part memoir, part spell, part sermon for the ones who had to leave to live. Topics include: • Queer identity and Pride then vs. now • Living with HIV for 22 years • 10 years sober from crystal meth and hard drugs • Elphaba as a mirror for queer becoming • Gender expansiveness and chosen family • Spoken-word taglines and healing through Broadway For the ones with glitter in their scars -- you were never wicked -- you were always becoming.

We're celebrating Pride Month, and to kick us off, Amy and Brandi get real about the unfiltered, often uncomfortable truth of being LGBTQ+ in the workplace—where invisibility can feel safer than honesty, and “inclusion” doesn't always include you. In this 'best of' episode, they unpack the messy layers of LGBTQ+ identity at work—from pronoun politics and people-pleasing to being “the only one” in the room. If you've ever felt unseen at work—or want to ensure your team doesn't have to—this one's for you. Showing up matters more than getting it perfect.
