On today's Remnant, Jonah's brain is uniquely scrambled. He's still disoriented after slipping into a near comatose state last week, and his nose hasn't quite readjusted to the feeling of fresh air. Rather than forcing a guest to deal with his mental malaise, he brings Guy, his immigrant manservant, back onto the program to field another round of carefully cultivated listener questions. The resulting conversation—which touches on the 2024 election, the purpose of American conservatism, the shame of closeted Kiss fans, and Jonah's deranged fondness for a blowtorch—is as peculiarly nerdish as you'd expect Show Notes: - The Remnant, hosted by Chris Stirewalt, with David Drucker - Jonah: “Does the GOP Deserve Tim Scott?” - Albert Jay Nock's Memoirs of a Superfluous Man - David Pietrusza's 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents - Jonah: “Goldberg's Conservative Canon” - Keeping the Tablets: Modern American Conservative Thought - Death of a Beatle Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Scholtes is the author of "Darkwater: A Pastor's Memoir of Depression and Faith." He is a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and has lived with depression for most of his life. He talks openly about the intersection of mental illness and faith, and finds these discussions to be healing and helpful for everyone involved.I have known depression inside and out since childhood, including two hospital stays and multiple suicide attempts. And yet I have a strong faith in God, and I have been living out that faith as a parish pastor for the past fifteen years. In my book "Darkwater" (Boyle & Dalton Press, 2022), I tell my life story from the perspective of both depression and faith. I describe it as two voices that I hear constantly -- the "Dark Voice" of depression that tells me that I am worthless and horrible, and the still, small voice of God who whispers to me that I am beloved and worthy Support the showCheck out my ministry website at https://www.dorseyrossministries.com Leave a review https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dorsey-ross-show/id1495921329

In the wake of Mother's Day, I'm sharing this older episode on the holy calling of mothering. If you mother any other person in any way, you help make the world go round and this one is for you. This week we're exploring the spiritual practice of mothering, a practice that is accessible to all humans as we undergo to care for others and help them grow. We'll examine references in the Bible to God as mother, and look to God's example to lead us forward in the necessary and holy work of mothering and being mothered, too.

Matt Crawford speaks with Oscar and Emmy winning director George Stevens Jr. about his book, My Place In the Sun: Life in the Golden Age of Hollywood and Washington. George Stevens Jr. grew up in Hollywood and in a family five generations deep in the entertainment business. George worked with his father, Oscar-winning director George Stevens Sr. on some of his most iconic movies like Shane and Giant before starting his own distinguished career in both Hollywood and Washington. Recruited by Edward R. Murrow to work in the United States Information Agency to highlight the importance of the arts, Stevens then went on as founding director of the American Film Institute. After JFK's assassination he then cofounded, wrote and produced the Kennedy Center honors for 37 years. George shares all of these pivotal moments with us in a way that makes you feel like you are part of his family. A book that will be hard to put down, I guarantee that you will be smiling while you read it and I could not recommend it more.

Today, Debbie speaks with bestselling author Abigail Thomas whom Stephen King calls “the Emily Dickinson of memoirists."Her new memoir, titled "Still Life at Eighty," is a series of loosely connected essays on the topic of aging. But it's so much more than that. Abby, as she insisted that Debbie call her, is funny and frank and profane as she talks about the good and the bad of aging. Yes, there are aches and pains. No, she doesn't mind being old. In fact, she loves it. She no longer cares what people think of her and - just for the record - she is not afraid of death. As she puts it: "Please God, let there be no afterlife."In this conversation she and Debbie talk about her writing (Debbie finds it "transcendent"), her relationship to time and memories, her longterm friendship with literary agent Chuck Verrill (who died in early 2022), and why she loves working with clay.Abby is the daughter of renowned science writer Lewis Thomas, the mother of four children and a grandmother of 12. She is the bestselling author of several previous memoirs, including "A Three Dog Life" and "What Comes Next and How to Like It." She lives in Woodstock, NY with her dogs, where she writes and teaches writing. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Her website: Abigail ThomasStill Life at Eighty: The Next Interesting Thing by Abigail Thomas (Golden Notebook Press (February 28, 2023)What Comes Next and How to Like It: A Memoir by Abigail Thomas (Scribner; 2015)A Three Dog Life: A Memoir by Abigail Thomas (Mariner Books; 2006)The Next Interesting Thing from Abigail Thomas (Next Avenue, March 9, 2023)Hope?

They pick through the wild pile of garbage inside the book: from being a “golf groupie” at 17, to her role in the OJ trial, to which kids she definitely loves more, one thing is clear… we need to check on Khloe.   For more book recaps & gentle tea, follow Chelsea on Instagram @chelseadevantez Become a member of the Celebrity Book Club Patreon!   Thank you to our sponsors: Tanteo Tequila -- @tanteotequila Natalie's Juice Company -- @nataliesoj Pattern Brands - @patternbrands Poketo -- @poketo YIELD -- @yielddesignco GIR -- @gir

Matt Crawford speaks with author Max Friedman about his book, Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir. Both of Friedman's parents lost their spouses and children in the Holocaust before finding each other. Those experiences shaped them in way that were irrevocable and damaging, but how can a child in that household grasp these intricacies? This book is about Max going back and researching his parent's stories to get a better grasp on what they survived and to understand them. Despite everything they went through, both managed to find their version of love and bring two children into this world. This is their story and I hope you will read it.

Episode 706 - Andrew McCarthy is a First Class Father and Legendary Hollywood Actor.  He is well known for his movie roles in Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire, Weekend at Bernie's, and Less than Zero.  He was a charter member of Hollywood's Brat Pack. That iconic group of ingenues and heartthrobs included Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, and Demi Moore.  Andrew McCarthy is a New York Times Bestselling Author of a memoir; “Brat: An '80s Story”.  He now has a brand new book available just in time for Father's Day; “Walking with Sam: A Father, a Son, and Five Hundred Miles Across Spain”.  When Andrew McCarthy's eldest son began to take his first steps into adulthood, McCarthy found himself wishing time would slow down. Looking to create a more meaningful connection with Sam before he fled the nest, as well as recreate his own life-altering journey decades before, McCarthy decided the two of them should set out on a trek like few others: 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago. In this Episode, Andrew shares his Fatherhood Journey which includes three children.  He discusses why he decided to take the 500 mile trek across Spain with his son Sam and what he took away from the journey.  He describes how becoming a father at 39 years old changed his perspective on life.  He talks about his son Sam's reaction to reading his Memoir, BRAT: AN 80's STORY.  He discusses his feelings about his kids getting involved in show business.  He describes what he hopes his legacy will be as a father.  He offers some great advice for new or soon-to-be dads and more!
