“I love the relational dimension of teaching, where you get to meet someone at the point of their curiosity or openness, right at their learning edge, and help them into a place of seeing something more complexly or shifting a perspective in such a way that it changes something, for them and for me. It feels magical to me. It still does, after so many years. I think teaching is a pastoral ministry.”  — Marilyn McEntyre Spiritual writer and speaker Marilyn McEntyre joins us on the podcast to talk about leaning into the darkness of winter and uncovering our creative gifts in that quiet space.  It's November, and winter is just around the corner. What might you do to embrace the quiet and depth of this season?

A conversation with spiritual writer and teacher Marilyn McEntyre, author of books like "Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies."

Leitura bíblica do dia: 1 Pedro 2:1-3, 9-10 Plano de leitura anual: NÚMEROS 20; MARCOS 7:1-7; A escritora Marilyn McEntyre diz que aprendeu com uma amiga que “o oposto da inveja é a celebração”. Apesar da deficiência física e dor crônica dessa amiga, ela foi de alguma forma capaz de vivenciar a alegria e comemorar com os outros, trazendo “apreciação em cada encontro” antes de morrer. Essa percepção permanece comigo, lembrando-me de amigos que estando livres das comparações parecem vivenciar essa mesma alegria, profunda e genuína pelos outros.  É fácil cairmos na armadilha da inveja. Essa inveja se alimenta de nossas vulnerabilidades, dores e medos mais profundos, sussurrando que, se apenas fôssemos como o outro, não estaríamos lutando nem nos sentindo mal.  Pedro lembrou aos novos cristãos que a única maneira de nos livrarmos de nós mesmos, das mentiras que a inveja produz é nos enraizarmos profundamente na verdade, para experimentar plenamente da “bondade do Senhor” (1 Pedro 2:1-3). Podemos “amar uns aos outros sinceramente, de todo o coração” (1:22) quando conhecemos a verdadeira fonte de nossa alegria, “…a eterna e viva palavra de Deus” (1:23).  Quando nos lembramos de quem realmente somos, podemos nos livrar das comparações: somos “povo escolhido […], propriedade exclusiva de Deus […] que [nos] chamou das trevas para sua maravilhosa luz” (2:9).  Por:  Monica La Rose

Jen takes a shift in a "panelist" seat for this episode, as Chris hosts a conversation between her and two other writers, Marilyn McEntyre and Ragan Sutterfield, as they reflect on the recent book on time and mortality by Oliver Burkeman. They discuss the impact of the book on their own ideas, as well as how it intersects with broader Christian thought.Books Mentioned in this Episode:If you'd like to order any of the following books, we encourage you to do so from Hearts and Minds Books(An independent bookstore in Dallastown, PA, run by Byron and Beth Borger) Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanIn Good Time by Jen Pollock MichelCaring For Words in a Culture of Lies, 2nd edition by Marilyn McEntyreWendell Berry and the Given Life by Ragan SutterfieldOn Humus and Humility (forthcoming) by Ragan SutterfieldMake a List: How a Simple Practice Can Change Our Lives and Open Our Hearts by Marilyn McEntyreJayber Crow: A Novel by Wendell BerryRemembering: A Novel by Wendell BerryCounterproductive: Time Management in the Knowledge Economy by Melissa GreggFour Quartets: A Poem by T.S.

Why did God tell Adam to name the animals? When you think about it, it's an odd time to quit creating. He left it to humankind to look for the significance of the things He made, to derive meaning from it, and to join with Him to put the finishing touches on things for which He obviously had a clear vision. Understanding the dignity and responsibility inherent in the role of naming not only allows us to better understand our relationship with the created order, but also our relationship with God, the first Creator and Namer.

Al discusses what happened on the day the Sun danced, and Marilyn McEntyre cares for words in a culture of lies. What does it mean to be human? Carter Snead joins us.

Book interview with Marilyn McEntyre and Shirley Showalter for “The Mindful Grandparent: The Art of Loving Our Children's Children”

Continuing our series reading and contemplation, Chris and Eddie are joined by Marilyn McEntyre, teacher, author, and lover of words. They primarily discuss two of Marilyn's books, Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies and Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict. Throughout this episode, you'll hear how much love and care Marilyn has for words, for language, and for the lost art of conversation. She gives practical ways to shift the tone of conversation, taking it from accusatory to something open-ended and compassionate. Marilyn considers herself to be a writer who teaches after being a teacher who writes. Although she no longer is a full-time teacher, she continues to teach and speak and offer writing workshops throughout the year. She is the author of 18 books, including Make a List and When Poets Pray. She remains interested in the intersection of language, spirituality, and healing, and her writing reflects that.Resources:Find Marilyn on Twitter  and Facebook.Learn more about Marilyn at https://www.marilynmcentyre.comFind out more about her books at https://www.marilynmcentyre.com/books

In this callback episode to 2020, we listen in on an interview with author Marilyn McEntyre, hosted by our Director of Programming, Melissa Shackelford. They discuss the immense power of words, and the ways in which they are used to high effect, but also often abused. They explored the effect of allusion, metaphor, euphemizing, and the ways in which we muddle distinct language from different contexts into one. Marilyn McEntyre is an author and teacher who has taught for decades on a variety of topics related to writing, language, and the humanities. She's written many books covering a wide range of topics including her book, “Speaking Peace in a Time of Conflict,” which is covered in part in this episode.

The values her family and church instilled in her as a young girl are ones Shirley still holds dear: generosity, kindness, and empathy. In the Mennonite community, she says, “a child in need was everyone's problem to solve, not only the parents. If I saw a ‘plain person' in a long dress or wearing a bonnet or a plain suit on the street, I would never have hesitated to ask for a ride, for information or even for money. All through my childhood I was being trained to be that same kind of beacon of kindness for others.” That beacon of kindness shines brightly in the recently released book, The Mindful Grandparent: The Art of Loving Our Children's Children, which Shirley co-wrote with Marilyn McEntyre. It's a guide to helping grandchildren live with intention and be attentive to others, to nature, and to the diverse, beautiful, and troubled social world around them. The Mindful Grandparent covers wide-ranging topics such as cultivating curiosity, giving meaningful gifts, helping children explore difficult topics, building a grandparent team, honoring adult children's boundaries, and managing technology.

In her essay “Why Read a Poem in a Time Like This?”, Marilyn McEntyre writes: All of us need it. We need it because good poems do something prose can't do. They invite and enable us to notice the precarious fissures in what we think is solid ground. They direct us toward the light at the edge of things — the horizon, the fragment of dream before dawn, the feeling that's hard to name, and can only be accurately captured by metaphor. They take us to the edge of “what can't be said,” and ambush us into feeling before we think, so that we can't simply and complacently “believe everything we think.” Poetry deals in surprise and subversion and turns old words to new purposes. Marilyn is joined by Guy Micco to talk about why poetry is important in general, why it's important in medical or nursing education, and why it's important for people who care for older adults. Along the way, they read poems, talk about poems, and sing a song by John Prine.  We talk about how poetry can surprise, how poems can be playful, how they unlock dimensions and emotions that are otherwise locked away.  How sometimes good poetry can be like a needed punch. And maybe, just maybe, we convince that poetry skeptic Eric Widera that there is a place for poetry in medicine after all.

Generosity with Marilyn McEntyreWe continue our Lenten podcast series this week by looking at the spiritual practice of generosity with professor, author, and poet, Marilyn McEntyre. Generosity, or to use more ancient language, charity or almsgiving, was a practice Christians historically emphasized during Lent. And while providing material support to those in need is certainly a vital part of charity and love of neighbor, in this episode, Marilyn challenges us to broaden our understanding of what generosity can mean.Caring for our Words is Part of Caring for our NeighborThe book of Proverbs teaches us that death and life are in the power of the tongue and, in this conversation, Dr. McEntyre argues that caring for language is inextricably bound up with our caring for others. It's our hope that the conversation which follows stretches your categories of generosity and caregiving this week, as we consider together what it means to attend to our language and to practice charity with our words.To listen to this or any of our episodes in full, visit ttf.org, and to join the Trinity Forum Society and help make content like this possible, visit ttf.org/join.Learn more about Dr. Marilyn McEntyre.Watch the full Online Conversation and read the transcript. Authors and books mentioned in the conversation:Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies by Marilyn McEntyreJane AustenDavid Brooks Related Trinity Forum Readings:Devotions by John Donne and paraphrased by Philip YanceyThe Confessions of St. Augustine by Augustine of Hippo, Introduced by James K.A.

For 2000 years, Lent has been a season of spiritual preparation in which you reflect on Christ's temptation suffering and death. Beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending with Easter, the 40 days of lent have historically been a time for Christians to draw closer to God through prayer, fasting, repentance, and self-denial.Of course, that's a hard sell in our time. Embracing spiritual disciplines has never been easy, but in a cultural context where denying ourselves our desires is seen not just as odd, but repressive, or even harmful, humbling ourselves through spiritual disciplines and walking in these ancient paths can seem more daunting than ever.But far from being the exclusive province of medieval monks or cloistered mystics of some far away place and time, these disciplines are for everyone, and offer through embodied practices, a path to more deeply and joyfully following in the ways of Jesus. So this Lenten season, we ask you to join us as we explore seven different spiritual disciplines through this special podcast series.Each week we'll release a new conversation that considers a practice to help you draw closer to God in mind, body and spirit. The point is not to master any particular spiritual discipline, but to simply start where you are. It's our hope that these conversations will inspire you to take a step into a new practice of learning to better know, love, and enjoy the Lord who died for us as we remember his passion, and anticipate the joy of his resurrection.Listen to or watch any of our conversations in full at TTF.org, or to help support this podcast and our ongoing work, visit: TTF.org/join.Special thanks to Ned Bustard for the artwork and Andrew Peterson for the music.

Nathan speaks with one of his favorite authors, Marilyn McEntyre, about why “words matter more than we can imagine.” She explores words as sacraments, as creative forces, as conveyors of truth, and as precious ingredients in the feast called conversation.Show Notes[2:21] Where did your love of words begin?[4:52] Could you explain a little about how caring for words is a moral issue?[6:34] How about words as art?[9:15] You take this beyond writing and poetry—into normal conversation?[14:41] How do you use words as a spiritual practice?[18:53] What would you say to folks who are just beginning to think in terms of using words with some intentionality?[21:54] Do you speak other languages? What does that change for you reading in languages besides English? Does it open up a different world for you?[25:40] I was really moved by your section on felicity. When a word goes out of use in a culture, is it representative that that thing has gone out of use?[27:55] Do you like Noam Chomsky and his work?[33:09] What's your “one sentence” about the book?[34:47] What gives you hope in our culture today, connected to words?[39:02] What I was hearing was words as a way to love others, to love what's good and right, to care enough about the words we use. Resources Marilyn's website: marilynmcentyre.com Books by Marilyn McEntyre (a sampling) Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict When Poets Pray Make a List: How a Simple Practice Can Change Our Lives and Open Our Hearts Word by Word, A Daily Spiritual Practice Richard Foster describes Lectio Divina “Politics and the English Language,” essay by George Orwell No Passion Spent by George Steiner

After serving for many years as the president of Goshen College, Shirley Showalter has written an engaging memoir about growing up in a Mennonite community and her efforts to negotiate the lures of the “glittering world.” In this conversation, she shares how she came to write Blush, describes what that process taught her about narrative and story, and reflects on the ambiguities of humility and pride. With a forthcoming book (co-written with Marilyn McEntyre) about grandparenting and becoming an elder, Shirley has much to offer about life's transitions, including the importance of daily habits of reflection. She encourages us to be wary of pre-fabricated advice from others: “Your vocation to yourself and to your own spirit is your highest vocation.” 

I like lists. So much that I have notebooks for my lists. Lists of “to do.” Lists of “ta da.” Lists of praises and prayers. Gather magazine had an article about how lists become a prayer by Marilyn McEntyre.

On Friday, July 17, 2020 we welcomed writer, poet, and professor Marilyn McEntyre for an Online Conversation to discuss her provocative book, Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies. The book focuses on the morality, power, and importance of caring for language. She notes that caring for one another is not entirely separable from caring for words. Words are entrusted to us as equipment for our life together, to help us survive, guide, and nourish one another. If language is to retain its power to nourish and sustain our common life, we have to care for it the way good farmers care for the earth.

  Marilyn McEntyre is back on the podcast. This time we talk about Lent and her beautiful Lenten resource titled Where the Eye Alights: Phrases for the Forty Days of Lent. Marilyn is a former English professor at Westmont College, an award-winning author of several books on language and faith, including... The post Marilyn McEntyre-episode 261 appeared first on Anita Lustrea.

Marilyn McEntyre shares how the erosion of language impacts faith and life, and we consider ways we can respond and reclaim this unique human capacity.

This week we begin our series on “Our Bodies and Our Creator” by hearing from Steve Hartman-Keiser. Steve shares from a chapter of Marilyn McEntyre's book, "Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict," and helps us consider who we are as children of God. As the events of this month unfold, Steve's words and sharing feel fitting for this moment in which we as individuals and as a faith community find ourselves.

Marilyn McEntyre is a steward of words. She has taught courses on English and medical humanities, and she has written or edited over twenty books, including Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies. Marilyn joins Elise to discuss the meaning of four words: dwelling, compassion, truth, and awe. Marilyn discusses why she loves participles and how “Christianese” can constrict the meaning of a word. She also reads three of her own poems and explains the background and inspiration of each.   Words as building materials   How space shapes us   Particularity and universality   A productive relationship between loneliness and dwelling   Touch deprivation   The strength and resilience of compassion   Christianese   Our relationship to Industrial food system   A broader examination of conscience   Truth as embodied and relational   The act of translation   Convicted civility   Why do we lie?   Relationship between death and awe   Accompanying the dying   Links: Dwelling in the Text by Marilyn McEntyre Word Tastings: An Essay Anthology by Marilyn McEntyre Teaching Literature and Medicine by Marilyn McEntyre The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies by Marilyn McEntyre The Overstory by Richard Powers The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate―Discoveries from A Secret World by Peter Wohlleben Should Trees Have Standing?: Law, Morality, and the Environment by Christopher D.

Teacher, writer, and wordsmith Marilyn McEntyre shows listeners how the simple act of writing a list can open doors to personal discovery and spiritual growth.
