Podcast appearances and mentions of madeleine l'engle

We're back after a week or so off. Today's Pentecost - with a nice piece by Madeleine L"Engle on love; next Sunday is Trinity - there's a prayer. And May 24 - John Wesley, Bob Dylan, "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and "What Hath God Wrought!". All that and more -

The Night School is an adventurous exercise of greater depth and reflectivity than is normal for most people. For each of these gatherings, we welcome a profound thinker, explorer, philosopher, painter, poet, theologian or mystic from the ancient or nearer past. For example, we may invite Aristotle (4th century BCE) to attend, and through some short and penetrating texts from his writings to give us his best thoughts on friendship. This monthly habit offered by the Faber Institute is meant to be enjoyable, startling at times (surprised by the wisdom we have available to us if we know how to read such authors), and to be an experience of deep thought skillfully invited and engagingly presented. For Session III of Series VIII, Rick Ganz welcomes our special "guest" Madeleine L'Engle.

On the cusp of a new year, today's quote reminds us that every fresh start necessitates an ending. As 2020 fades, what are you releasing, and what are you looking forward to?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Quote “A new year can begin only because the old year ends.” Madeleine L'Engle Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast.  Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. As we wrap up 2020 my thoughts turn to the new year and what goal to set.  When I simplified my goals for 2020 to take a rest year, I had no idea that I would still struggle to meet them.  While I covered a lot of miles this year, 382 at this point with 265 of those since September, I did not complete 52 hikes – many of my miles covered the same stretches of pavement.  I also did not complete the geocache challenge I planned to do with my mom – although we did have a couple of great caching days and she worked on the goal without me many days. https://www.geocaching.com/ Looking towards 2021, I’m not confident how well live races will occur, so I’ve looked towards other activities to engage my soul and keep me moving.  I want to do the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim challenge, but I’ve learned you really need to start planning for that 2 years in advance.  Since shuttle service between the North and South rim is still spotty, it adds additional logistical challenges that I am not willing to take on. Rim To Rim - The Grand Canyon Experience | The Grand Canyon Experience While researching the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim, I found a second challenge that would take me somewhere I’ve wanted to visit.  When my daughter was in high school, we visited Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, but didn’t make it to the other parks in Utah. There is a Zion Rim to Rim challenge also.  This fits much more cleanly into my challenging yet realistic criteria. A bonus is my husband is willing to do this one with me. Rim to Rim® - Zion | Rim To Rim - The Grand Canyon Experience I’m looking forward to visiting the other parks I haven’t been to as we visit Utah, not just Zion. The Mighty 5 | Visit Utah If the Missoula Marathon happens this year, I would love to participate in memory and celebration of Tony Banovich the Race Director who passed away this summer and meet Dimity and Sarah from Another Mother Runner in person. - Missoula MarathonMissoula Marathon Here’s looking forward to resuming travel and racing in 2021.

My Personal Brand of Chaos There’s a reason I came up with the description of my personal brand of chaos - what I call being “Ish.” My definition (One who has humorous grace with herself when messing up or flaking out. Again.) works because I mess up (and flake out) on a regular basis. It’s not because I throw my hands up in the air with an attitude of “that’s just how I am.” Quite the opposite – I really struggle to not beat myself up on the many occasions when I mess up. Whether I’ve lost my phone or keys for the thousandth time, set the kitchen on fire because I forgot I was boiling a chicken (true story!) or made a banner for my daughter that wished her a happy “birtday” instead of birthday, calling myself an Ish girl has been my attempt to not anguish over my mistakes. To take myself less seriously and to be able to laugh at myself. Obviously, there are times that are easier to do that than others – the harder times are when my actions have affected someone else, like my husband or my kids. CHAOS PREVENTION AND PROTECTION I’ve embraced my Ish-ness, but I also have learned that there are ways to prevent some of the chaos and protect myself and my loved ones from the consequences of that chaos. Especially in my classroom. During my first year of teaching, I struggled with a lot of chaos. It was more than a little overwhelming, and in the midst of it, it was hard to pinpoint exactly what was causing all it. Was it classroom management? Planning lessons? Getting up to speed on the standards and benchmarks of the curriculum? Dealing with the surprising amount of clerical/administrative-type things I was responsible for? TIME MANAGEMENT VS. CHAOS That chaos is what we’re going to talk about today because it relates directly to one of the things I shared with you in the last episode of In the Middle of It: the top three causes of teacher stress. We defined them as classroom behavior, performance assessment, and time management. Time management is such a broad term, and we’re going to start to break that topic down a bit today. If you, too, are struggling with chaos in your classroom and you don’t know what thread to start unraveling first, this episode is for you. I’m focusing on managing our time because it’s the one resource that can’t be replenished. And if you’re like me, it may perpetually seem like you don’t have enough of it. So, how can we manage our time so that we can control the chaos in our classrooms? The answer is simple, but certainly not easy. By implementing systems and procedures, consistently. THE ORIGIN OF CLASSROOM CHAOS Teachers need to be exceptionally organized but receive little training in this There is a disconnect between what education students are learning in their universities and initial job placements and the expectations that administrators have for them in those first few years of teaching. There is a “business piece” to teaching. This, unfortunately, is not taught. New teachers might be experiencing thoughts like: “How will I figure all of this out on my own?” or “They expect me to know this...I need to act like I know what I’m doing.” Those thoughts are valid; administrators' expectations can be potentially unrealistic, especially if they have a “figure it out” mentality. That lack of help from administration can cause a lack of transparency among new teachers, and result in new teachers feeling like they are “lacking” in skills when really, they just haven’t acquired the skills yet. New Teachers May Have a Fixed Mindset Around Systems and organization Organizational skills and systems CAN be learned. This is evident in how teachers organize and streamline their workflow as they gain experience. Not knowing these skills creates stress (and that can profoundly affect their students, as we talked about in the last episode of In the Middle of It.) Deciding to learn these skills requires a growth mindset. However, you can’t grow these skills if you have any of these limiting beliefs: I should already know how to do this I’m too busy, I don’t have time to get organized As long as the students are learning my systems don’t matter. SUCCESS IN THE CLASSROOM HINGES ON DEVELOPING SYSTEMS What are systems? Thought through procedures for how you do things. Our knee-jerk impulse as teachers is to focus on curriculum/plans first. It’s what we know, and with standards-based learning, it’s what is drilled into us. However. Learning will be difficult if you are chaotic and disorganized.   Why? Because organization, clear expectations, schedules, and boundaries create predictability and safety for students.  This makes it easier for them to focus on learning. If students feel your chaos, they have difficulty focusing and learning Now, you might be thinking (as I once did) that as long as the students are learning, organization doesn’t matter. But I would argue that if there’s no organization, it’s going to be very difficult to answer questions like:      How are you sure they are learning?      Are they learning to their potential?      Can that be improved through your organization? Can your lack of organization and systems impact the performance and well-being of students?  I’m going to flip this on you. Has someone else’s lack of organizations and systems ever impacted your performance or well-being? I know as teachers, as professionals, you’ve gone through a tremendous amount of training, be it as a university student or through professional development once you’re in the classroom. When you’ve gone to those classes and trainings, think about the environments you were in. How did you respond when the presenter/professor was disorganized? Maybe they were setting up their technology at the last minute and running into problems that delayed the start. Maybe they couldn’t find the notes they wanted to use in the stack on the podium. My Own Experience with Chaos I can vividly remember a seminar I went to where the woman was trying to use props that she *thought* she’d brought with her. She was distracted and flustered and launched into an explanation that she’d just returned from a week-long cruise and hadn’t really looked at her notes since before she left. You can imagine how that made us feel. And if you can’t, well, let’s just say that was where she lost me. From that point, I was cynical and suspicious of everything she shared, because clearly, she didn’t value me (or the rest of the audience) enough to respect our time by being prepared. When We Let Chaos Reign When I flipped that line of thinking to myself, and to my own students, I must admit that it stung. Because just like me, my students will come to the conclusion that I don’t value them if I’m chaotic. They won’t be motivated to do their best if they sense we aren’t giving attention to all the facets of their experience of us in the classroom. We may be working hard – really hard – but what you’ll be communicating is that you don’t value them if you allow chaos to reign in your classroom. And none of that even touches on the fact that chaos inspires mistrust and uneasiness. A Chaos Caveat Now, the caveat here is that of course, we all have bad days when we’re disorganized and unprepared. The question to ask yourself is: what is characteristic of me? THE OPPOSITE OF CHAOS On the flip side of this, when you implement systems and procedures, the opposite is true. When your systems and procedures are effective, you build trust with your students. And when you build trust, you can build relationships and foster connection. So, before you do anything else, build those relationships. Build community. And the best way to do that is to foster routine and predictability for your students. To teach them your systems and invite them into your procedures so they know what to expect and can relax the part of their brains that is constantly on the alert of whatever is coming next. When they know what’s coming next, the brain energy that would be alert and focused on the anxiety of trying to predict what’s coming next can be spent on learning instead. PREDICTABILITY KILLS CHAOS, GROWS TRUST, AND FOSTERS CREATIVITY The structure you provide gives them the freedom to lean into relationships with you and with each other and positions them to learn much more effectively. And in a paradoxical way, that structure gives them the freedom to be creative as well. One of my favorite concepts around this is from Madeleine L’Engle. She talked about the freedom in structure using the analogy of a haiku. This form of poetry is very structured – it’s made up of three lines with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. But although the structure is very defined, you can create whatever you want within it. The same is true in our classrooms. By providing that structure and those systems, we’re modeling organizational skills for our teens. Because we expect them to be organized, and for them to value those skills, too. They’re much more likely to adopt that philosophy when we set the example for them. When we mentor them on how to be organized. Because teens need us - the adults in their lives - to be their mentors. If that’s something you’d like help with, I’d love for you to join me for my upcoming Meaningful Mentor Workshop.  If you’re interested, be sure to join the waitlist!

Pledge and consent are crucial in the experience of knowing. In this episode, Esther Lightcap Meek and I talk about chapter 2 of her book, A Little Manual for Knowing. In that chapter—and in this episode—Esther shows us that if we are to truly know someone or something, then we need to pledge ourselves to that which is yet-to-be-known. We need to pledge ourselves to the “knowing venture” and we need to pledge to be open to—to consent to—the reality of that which we are coming to know.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Esther Lightcap Meek is the Professor of Philosophy at Geneva College and the author of A Little Manual for Knowing.To truly know something or someone, one must “pledge” oneself to that thing or person. Pledge to live life on the terms of the yet-to-be-known. Pledge to do what it takes to know it. Pledge to be ok with it once it reveals itself.In Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Annie Dillard describes what it takes to stalk a muskrat. One must hold still, give up one’s dignity, and wait. Esther says this is covenantal language.Knowing something or someone requires consent. We have to say yes to what or who it truly is. Knowing requires pledge and consent.“All of reality is the consent of God. Everywhere your eye lands, your eye is landing on God’s ‘Yes!’”The opposite of pledge and consent is acedia, commonly known at sloth.Dallas Willard says that if we’re going to love God, we have to consent and say “yes” to ourselves. Saying “yes” to who you are as you are.In the movie, Avatar, one of the characters says to the other, “I see you.” It was an act of ultimate consent.Markus refers to a poem by Madeleine L’Engle, cited in Visions of Vocation by Steve Garber. The poem shows that in marriage we must pledge and consent to who our spouse truly is if we are to truly know them.Esther discusses confirmation bias.In the story of the Road to Emmaus, the disciples were able to let go of a preconception that allowed them then to know Jesus.“Reality, by definition, is God and His stuff.”“All knowing is transformative.”Esther connects the knowing venture to the experience of worship.Esther is beginning a book series called Doorways, in which each volume will connect the knowing venture to a different discipline.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books:A Little Manual for Knowing, by Esther Lightcap MeekPilgrim at Tinker Creek, by Annie DillardVisions of Vocation, by Steve GarberThe Hobbit, by J.R.R.

Inga Boudreau grew up on a farm in Westerlo, the daughter of German artisans. Her mother, a sculptress, could recreate a Chanel outfit by looking at a picture and she told stories that came from the heart. Her father heeded Will Rogers’ words — “Buy land; they’re not making it anymore — and in 1932, sight unseen, bought a 200-acre farm in Westerlo for about $300. Inga and her sister attended the grade school in Westerlo and then went on to graduate from Berne-Knox High School. Boudreau fondly remembers two of her English teachers: in eighth grade, John O’Leary taught her respect for the English language; in high school, Nancy Hayden told her, “Never stop writing because you gave me chills.” Boudreau never did stop. With master’s degrees from New York University and Columbia, she launched a career in children’s book publishing. In this week’s podcast, she talks about some of the authors she worked with whom she grew to know and love: Maurice Sendak, E.B. White, Madeleine L’Engle, and Tomie dePaola. She describes her author friends as kind, egalitarian, and nonjudgmental and treasures their cards and letters. She has always liked the ending of E.B. White’s “Charlotte’s Web.” Wilbur, the pig rescued at the start of the book by 8-year-old Fern, is missing his friend, the spider Charlotte, and he thinks, “It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It is much more than a job or occupation.The first question we ask must be, “Who am I?” The second must be, “Why am I?” From these two questions follows a third: “What should I do with my life?”In his book, Steve writes, “To know the world and still love it. There is not a more difficult task that human beings face.” Steve unpacks this statement.Steve and Markus discuss marriage as a vocation, citing a series of poems by Madeleine L’Engle called To a Long-Loved Love.Visions of Vocation focuses on the question, “Knowing what you know about yourself and the world, what are you going to do?”Steve explains how he would help a person begin to understand their vocation.Steve shares three stories that demonstrate why it’s so important for ministry leaders to have a robust understanding of vocation.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books mentioned:Visions of Vocation: Common Grace for the Common Good, by Steven GarberThe Ordering of Love: The New and Collected Poems of Madeleine L'Engle, by Madeleine L'EngleWork Matters: Connecting Sunday Worship to Monday Work, by Tom NelsonFlourish San DiegoSix Practices of a Flourishing Church, free resource by Markus WatsonInstructions to leave a review of Spiritual Life and Leadership:Click HERE.Click on the link that says, "Listen on Apple Podcasts."In the window that opens, click the button that says, "Open Link."

This summer Speaking with Joy's online summer book club will be exploring the suspenseful, captivating, scientific young adult novel a Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. 

Time has very little meaning these days. Is time a straight line, or a big ball of timey-wimey stuff? What if, just what if, time and space could be bent? This week we discuss 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle

ಸಮಯ, ಕಾಲ, ಮಾನವ ಮೀರದೆ ಇರುವಂತಹ ಒಂದು ಪರಿಕಲ್ಪನೆ. ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ಕಥೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಮಯ ಸಂಚಾರ, ಕಾಲಸಂಚಾರ ಒಂದು ಮುಖ್ಯವಾದ ಪಾತ್ರ ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಕಾಲಸಂಚಾರ ಸಫಲವಾದರೆ ಏನಾಗಬಹುದು ಎಂಬುದು ಬಹಳ ಸ್ವಾರಸ್ಯಕರವಾದ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ. ಅನೇಕ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರಗಳು, ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ಕಥೆಗಳು, ಕಲಾಸಂಚಾರದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಆಳವಾಗಿ ವಿಶ್ಲೇಶಿಸಿವೆ.ನಮ್ಮ ಈ 59ನೇ ಸಂಚಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗೌತಮ್ ಶೆಣಾಯ್ ಅವರು ಕಾಲಸಂಚಾರದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗಣೇಶ್ ಚಕ್ರವರ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪವನ್ ಶ್ರೀನಾಥ್ ಅವರ ಜೊತೆ ಚರ್ಚಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.What would it be like, if we could go back in time?

The founder of Books of Wonder, Peter Glassman, talks to Giuseppe Castellano about opening his first book store in 1980; coming out to his parents in the late 1970’s; the genius and heart of Maurice Sendak; and the connections Peter made with Arnold Lobel, Madeleine L’Engle, and many of the brightest stars in children’s publishing.

We’ve arrived at our most scandalous episode to date, and it all starts with the saucy paperback cover featuring a shirtless Sandy and Dennys under a soft-eyed angel. Yes, we’re diving into Many Waters, by Madeleine L’Engle, and we’re rushing to get out of dodge before the flood while also wondering whether the Oasis deserves all this apocalyptic punishment in the first place! Madeleine and Grace take uncharacteristically opposing stances on this one, and debate the merits of a YA retelling of a biblical doozy. Tiny mammoths abound and things get sandy. You’re welcome to try to approach a unicorn, but first we’ll need to know - do you have your driver’s license? Whether you’re a fan of the Deux Ex Manticore or not, we think there’s plenty to explore in this trippy journey back in time.NOTE - While still technically clean, this episode features discussion of sexual content present in the book and may not be suitable for young listeners.MUSIC - Pippin the Hunchback and Thatched Villagers by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) - Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Spidey sense. Gut feel. Whatever you call it, it’ll make or break the most important decisions in your life. The most successful executives I coach have it in spades. We're talking about intuition, and digging into what it is and how it actually works.Oprah has it.Steve Jobs had it.Mark Zuckerberg has it but recently didn’t listen to it and paid a huge price.Elon Musk made the same mistake.How—And Where—Intuition Actually WorksHere’s how to make your intuition stronger right now. My friends at NowSourcing have created a handy infographic, be sure to check it out here.First, let’s consider how—and where—humans think. As I outlined in a previous blog, human beings actually have three brains. Since both our hearts and our intestines have neural tissue, we have the heart-brain, the gut-brain and the brain that sits in our cranium (or, if you count the one that sits in our cranium as three—reptile, mammalian, and human neo-cortex—then we actually have five brains!).Where You Think:Reptilian Brain: InstinctAn innate inclination toward a particular behavior in response to a certain stimulusIt’s hardwired in the body from birth to keep us “not dead”Examples: we pull away from something hot, run from danger, etc.Mammalian Brain: Where much intuition, or “gut feeling”, occursA natural, thoughtless process which requires no analysis or deep thinkingUnconsciously developed over time from our experiences and beliefBiases operate here and are unconscious—which is why they can be problematicExamples: trusting someone that’s similar to you, feeling good around someone, etc.Prefrontal Cortex: Analytical thinkingIntentional, organized, conscious thoughtsUsed for planning, problem-solving, decision makingSome biases operate here too, such as making decisions based on a limited data set, or past experiencesExample: weighing the pros and cons of a decision before making it, analyzing potential return on investment before sponsoring a project, etc.Check out these famous examples of intuition—what parts of the brain were involved?44 BCE: Calpurnia, the wife of Julius Caesar, dreams of her husband’s assassination and urges him not to go to the Senate, where he goes anyway and is killedIt’s not magic: Calpurnia was unconsciously reacting to the tensions and signs of political dissent brewing in the Roman Empire [some heart brain, some gut brain, some reptilian and mammalian brain activation]1936: On a hunch, automobile tycoon Charles Howard purchases an underweight colt named Seabiscuit, who goes on to become one of the greatest racehorses in historyIt’s not magic: Howard’s business savvy and military cavalry training gave him the experience to recognize a gifted horse and a sound financial bet [some gut brain, some mammalian and prefrontal cortex brain activation]1962: After being rejected by dozens of publishers, Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle In Time is picked up by John Farrar of Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, which had not published children’s books before [some heart brain, some gut brain, some mammalian and possibly prefrontal cortex brain activation]Most cultures today worship the intellect—the prefrontal cortex functions—and thus often unintentionally condition children to discount their intuition. So let’s consider Albert Einstein and how when he discovered the theory of relativity he said (to paraphrase) “First I felt it, then I saw it, then I could explain it.” Sounds like a bunch of five brain activity to me!How Intuition WorksYour intuition is much faster than your analytical mind and relies on feelings—note above I refer to the neural tissue we all have in both our gut and our heart.We often hear about women’s intuition and how it’s stronger than men’s. Why? Two reasons: first, the insula in the female human brain is larger than in the male. The insula is often called the seat of intuition in human beings, and it’s where hurt feelings fester and hunches often spring from. Second, our female ancestors needed to ensure not only their own survival but also their children’s. While the males were often single-tasking such as hunting (with their larger amygdalas), the females were multi-tasking. The females were caring for the children, watching for danger as they gathered food, tracking non-verbal cues from others, and organizing environmental input and information.3 Steps To Optimize Your Intuition1-Notice your body’s reactions (changes in heartbeat, breathing, muscle tension).2-Understand that your intuition wants whatever you value most (happiness, health, prosperity)–your intuition could be signaling that even though a decision seems logical, it won’t bring you closer to your core goals.3-Likewise notice that your intuition is wiser than our ego, which may want you to make a specific decision for a certain gain, yet that gain might come at too high a cost—and your intuition will be trying to put on the brakes.So how do you balance intuition and logic?Look at the meaning you are making about a certain situation to check your assumptions.Look at your organismic rights and if they will be honored and expanded by that decision.Check yourself for unconscious biases that might be getting in the way.Follow your intuition when:Working in rapidly changing, high-stakes environmentsPerforming tasks you have done many times beforeBrainstorming or discussing business with partners or coworkersFollow your analytical brain when:Working in compliance scenarios or when under public or regulatory scrutinyDoing something you have never done beforeHiring new talent or delegating work to employees“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford Commencement speechThe Net-NetIntuition is a combination of the five functioning brains you haveIntuition can be cultivated and improved by paying attention to the input your brains are offering youYour intuition might just be trying to tell you how to make better decisions—are you ready to listen?Resources Mentioned:The ArticleNowSourcing Intuition infographic 3 Brains blog postBiases Neural tissue we all have in both our gut and our heartOrganismic Rights infographicCognitive Bias CodexEmotional Resilience AssessmentLeadership Experience AssessmentGrowth AssessmentContact ChristineYou’re busy growing.

“So, awareness and response — I think this is where the Holy Spirit of God really works very powerfully for me, sort of awakening me, keeping me aware, keeping me open. There is always something new ahead — and I’m saying that as a 90-year-old woman. I’m hoping that life continues to open itself to me — and this is a work of God’s Spirit.” — Luci Shaw Listen in as WAP associate Caroline Triscik interviews poet Luci Shaw as they touch on topics around creativity, death, nature, and the friendships of women — with reflections on Luci's own close friendship with author Madeleine L'Engle.

Tommy completes a Book Review for ‘A Swiftly Tilting Planet’ by Madeleine L’Engle.

19 May 2019 Fifth Sunday of Easter John 13:31-33A, 34-35 + Homily 15 Minutes 30 Seconds Link to the Readings: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/051919.cfm (New American Bible, Revised Edition) From the parish bulletin:   In recent weeks, long lines streamed into the Morgan Library to see a display of J.R.R. Tolkien’s memorabilia and his art, mostly drawings and watercolors. Other authors like William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor sketched as an avocation, but these pictures were very much an integral part of Tolkien’s symbolic world in The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.    Here on display was an example of the words inscribed as John Henry Newman’s epitaph: “Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem” – “Into the truth through shadows and images.” When Tolkien’s widowed mother converted to Catholicism in 1900, she was disinherited by her Baptist family. She died at the age of 34, before the invention of insulin, when Tolkien was twelve and his brother ten. He would write that his mother “killed herself with labour and trouble to ensure us keeping the faith.” The devout Oratorian priest to whom Mabel entrusted her boys, Father Francis Xavier Morgan, had been a schoolboy under the tutelage of Newman, soon to be canonized.    To his dying day, Tolkien was a daily communicant and venerated the memory of Father Morgan (no relation to J.P.), whom he had served as an altar boy, leading many others to the Faith, and he married only after persuading his future wife to convert. His grandson Simon has recalled that during the liturgical changes following Vatican II, his grandfather “didn't agree with this and made all the responses very loudly in Latin while the rest of the congregation answered in English. I found the whole experience quite excruciating, but my grandfather was oblivious. He simply had to do what he believed to be right.”    A new “biopic” about Tolkien’s early years features Father Morgan at the start, near the middle, and at the end, but practically omits any other mention of the Catholicism that was at the heart of the author’s life as an Oxford don and writer. The film originally had a scene showing Tolkien receiving Communion in the trenches during the First World War, but it was cut because “people felt it was boring.”     Last year’s film of the children’s book A Wrinkle in Time, produced with Disney Corporation money (like Tolkien, which was made through the Disney-owned Fox Searchlight), eliminated the Christian imagery of its author, Madeleine L’Engle. Perhaps if it had been faithful to the text, it would not have lost nearly one hundred million dollars.    Madeleine was a good friend, and I knew to a lesser degree Tolkien’s eldest son John, who was a priest. Both would have found the film producers’ airbrushing of religion utterly incomprehensible. Tolkien wrote to the daughter of his publisher: “. . . the chief purpose of life, for any one of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks."

Tommy shares a quote from Madeleine L’Engle.

Tommy does a book review for “A Wind in the Door” by Madeleine L’Engle.

In her excellent book Walking on Water, the author Madeleine L’Engle wrote, "Jesus was not a theologian. He was God who told stories.” Storytelling was not only a major focus of Jesus’ ministry, it’s also a signifigant part of our calling as artists and creatives. Today’s guest helps us expand our vision as creative storytellers as we talk about music, imagination, invention, worship, and writing. This is one of those interviews that will expand your mind and leave you thinking for days. I’m honored to bring you this conversation with Manuel Luz. He is a songwriter, author, inventor, arts advocate, and creative arts pastor. He has served with Oak Hills Church in Folsom, California for over 25 years, which is an eternity in creative arts ministry.  Manuel’s new book, Honest Worship: From False Self to True Praise, addresses the critical intersections between spiritual formation and worship. Manuel’s published book, Imagine That: Discovering Your Unique Role as a Christian Artist, is a practical and personal theology of the arts. I highly recommend both of them. Manuel is also the inventor of the patented musical instrument, the WalkaBout™, which was wildly received at the world-renowned NAMM Show recently. In our conversation, we explore several themes from his two books, such as humility, imagination, storytelling, and honest worship. We also dive into the behind-the-scenes process of inventing, manufacturing, and marketing the Walkabout, which is a new kind of percussion instrument. As as drummer myself, this was incredibly interesting! Finally, you’ll learn practical tips about writing from Manuel’s own creative process.

Book Vs Movie (Replay) “A Wrinkle in Time” The Margos Discover that Not All Things Featuring Oprah Are Made of Gold   The Margos dive into a children’s classic novel--A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle and offer their thoughts on the 1962 novel that spawned four sequels and earned the love of millions of fans all over the world. The story of a plucky 13-year-old heroine (Meg Murry) who is smart, awkward and lonely due to her father missing for over four years has inspired readers for decades to truly be themselves and trust their instincts. L’Engle won the Newbery Medal in 1962 for her “junior novel” and its fans have been demanding for years a proper adaptation that honors the material. So does the 2018 film directed by Ava Duvernay make the cut? The Margos discuss in this episode which you can listen to using the link at the bottom of this post.
