As we approach 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, we find ourselves at a critical inflection point for democracy. The promise of equity demands that every policy and investment provide significant, sustained support to those most in need. This support must act as a bridge to creating an equitable economy, fostering an inclusive and compassionate society, and strengthening an accountable democracy. In this pivotal moment, we must ensure that our collective efforts address systemic inequalities, amplify marginalized voices, and create pathways for all individuals to thrive. Only by prioritizing these goals can we fulfill the foundational ideals of our nation and build a more just and resilient future. To that end, we are in need of a revolution of the soul. In this podcast, Tate Chamberlin hosts distinguished author and Duke University history and public policy professor Nancy MacLean, PolicyLink president and CEO Michael McAfee, and RepresentUs co-founder and CEO Josh Lynn in a discussion of the messy truths about democracy and getting things done.

We're joined by Michael McAfee, President and CEO of PolicyLink, for a wide-ranging conversation on what it means to lead and carry out work that is in service to all people. We discuss the tension between individual worldviews and what evidence shows, especially when pursuing social change that is enduring, scalable, and genuinely centers people most in need. We also explore what McAfee calls a “hierarchy of human value” operating system, how to marry idealism with practicality as a leader, and what it will take to create a thriving democracy that recognizes our shared humanity.

It's easy to put control of our lives in God's hands when life is going according to plan. We meet the spouse. We get the job. We have the kids. But what happens when life goes anything but according to plan? Pastor Michael McAfee knows the heartache of having his plans derailed. He and his wife, Lauren, walked through a seven-year period of waiting to be parents before welcoming their daughter, Zion, home. A few months later she was diagnosed with cancer (Zion is now celebrating four years of remission!). In the midst of all that uncertainty, Michael learned how to surrender ultimate control to God, no matter the outcome, and that's the story he shares on today's unforgettable episode of Unapologetic. Julia is a friend and fan of the McAfee's, and also knows what it's like to struggle through infertility and loss. During their honest and heartwarming conversation, Julia and Michael talk about everything from God's purpose for suffering and working to surrender that control to Michael's passion for leading trips through his role at Inspire Experiences and his advice on where to start when it comes to reading the Bible. Towards the end of their conversion the two also discuss how they've seen God's Word prove to be living and active in their own lives. Whatever you've walked through or are currently walking through, this uplifting episode will encourage you that God is forever with you and for you. Michael and Lauren's book—Beyond Our Control—is available everywhere now! Learn more about Inspire Experiences at inspire.organd follow Michael on Instagram!

Program for 12/08/23 Jim Wood: Interview with Lauren and Michael McAfee
Seasons of grief, pain, and loss of control are inevitable. Despite our best efforts and steadfast faith, reality rarely matches our expectations. In an unpredictable and broken world, how do we cling to a foundation that provides purpose for today and hope for the future? Thursday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, authors Michael & Lauren McAfee show us that realizing how little control we have over our lives can make us fearful and anxious--or it can lead to greater intimacy with God, a richer prayer life, and a joyful eternal perspective.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You've faced situations in life that were out of your control. How did you deal with those? Lauren and Michael McAfee describe a devastating event in their marriage and their discovery that control is an illusion.

If we are to realize a radically inclusive, thriving, multiracial democracy, we must lay claim to that future, raise our voices, and use our collective power to redesign a nation that truly works for all. Tune in for a stirring discussion with Michael McAfee, President & CEO of PolicyLink, as we unpack the significant impact of President Biden's Executive Orders on racial equity and how they can be wielded to effect real change. We discuss the impact of Black voters turning out in record numbers in the 2020 election, joined by young voters and people who were demanding action to achieve racial justice; and the ways We the People compelled our federal government to reckon with race and to take action that bends the ark toward justice and fairness.

To achieve this, McAfee centers equity and focuses on seeing others humanity, especially those with differing opinions or backgrounds.

How do we address society's most pressing issues and create opportunity for those who need it most? Can we create a blueprint for a just and inclusive economy that includes a safety net that centers dignity, quality jobs that empower workers, housing as a human right, wealth creating opportunities for all, and much more? Michael Tubbs is developing that blueprint by creating and implementing policies that address these inequalities, and projects like the Universal Basic Income pilot in the city of Stockton. Our Q&A; Host will be Michael McAfee, president of PolicyLink, a national institute that advances racial and economic equity. Michael Tubbs is the Founder of End Poverty in California (EPIC); the Founder of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income; and the Special Advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom for Economic Mobility. In 02016, he was elected Mayor of Stockton at 26, the city's first African-American Mayor, and the youngest Mayor of any major city in American history. Tubbs piloted the first mayor-led guaranteed income pilot in the country and raised over $20 million dollars to create the Stockton Scholars, a universal scholarship and mentorship program for Stockton students. Tubbs is author of The Deeper The Roots: A Memoir of Hope and Home; a call for leadership and policy that is more empathetic and responsive to people who are struggling with poverty and other issues.

The nation is rapidly becoming a majority people of color. In cities and towns across the country many people are embracing the concept of equity and intent on achieving racial and economic equity for all. At the same time, as the word is used more, the concept of equity is in danger of becoming diluted, just another catchphrase of civil society, leaving the true promise of racial and economic inclusion unrealized. PolicyLink is a national research and action institute advancing racial and economic equity by Lifting Up What Works.® Dr. Michael McAfee became President and CEO of PolicyLink in 2018. Monte Roulier interviewed Dr. McAfee as a critical perspective in the development of THRIVING TOGETHER: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery & Resilience in Communities Across America.

School is not back in session yet but clearly there are a lot of people who need schooling, especially when it comes to understanding reparations. In this episode, "Professor” Steve Phillips breaks down the history of slavery and its legacy in this country and answers the question: Does the U.S. government owe anything to Black Americans? We also talk about why it's so important for Congress to act now and pass HR 40, the bill to establish a commission to study the legacy of slavery and to make recommendations about possible remedies, including reparations.

Bakari Sellers became the youngest elected official in the country at the age of 22 when he won a seat in South Carolina's House of Representatives. He argues, however, that his journey began long before he was born. His family faced many struggles as a part of the South's dwindling rural, black working class—losing access to health care as rural hospitals disappeared; attempting to make ends meet as the factories people relied on shut down and moved overseas; attempting to hold on to precious traditions as towns eroded; and forging a path forward without succumbing to despair—these are all facets of not only his life, but of an entire community's. In My Vanishing Country, Bakari Sellers tells the story of his father's rise to become a civil rights hero, a member of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and a role model for his own developing identity as a father to newborn twins. Join Sellers at INFORUM, where he will tell his deeply personal story of hope in the face of adversity and a history that is reflective of countless families in the American south.

#133 Michael McAfee: Millennials, What is the Bible About? by Wesley Seminary Podcast
My guest for The Happy Hour #298 is Lauren McAfee. Lauren is a speaker, writer, connector, and coffee enthusiast with a heart to engage others in the Bible. With her husband Michael McAfee, she is the author of Not What You Think: Why the Bible Might Be Nothing We Expected Yet Everything We Need. In today’s episode, Lauren and I talk Hobby Lobby, the Museum of the Bible, and getting her PhD in Ethics and Public Policy at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Lauren also shares so vulnerably about her tumultuous path toward motherhood, her family’s adoption story with their daughter Zion, Zion’s cancer diagnosis, and how she tethered herself to the Word. I was so moved when Lauren told the story of her friend reassuring her with Lauren’s own words -- that “even if we never have this longing for children fulfilled, Jesus is enough.” Friends, Lauren has fought so courageously to stay close to God through difficult seasons and she is a great encouragement to all of us that we find contentment in Christ and not our circumstances. Be sure to check out Lauren’s book, Not What You Think: Why the Bible Might Be Nothing We Expected Yet Everything We Need. Not What You Think is the book you need to clear the deck on your preconceptions of the Bible and encounter it anew.

Have you ever taken the time to take an honest and fair look at the most controversial book in history? Lauren McAfee shares why the Bible might be nothing we expected yet everything we need in her brand new book, Not What You Think. Lauren McAfee and Michael McAfee have been married for ten years; and Michael calls Lauren his Sunday School sweetheart. You can say Michael is obsessed with all things Bible. He was one of the first employees at Museum of the Bible. Michael serves as a Teaching Pastor and speaker around the country. Both he and Lauren are pursuing their Ph.D. in Ethics and Public Policy at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Now Lauren is a communicator, connector, and most importantly, a coffee enthusiast with a heart to engage others in the Bible. You may recall Lauren's visit with us a little over a year ago with her mom, Jackie Green --- who is the wife of Steve Green, who is the President of Hobby Lobby and founder of Museum of the Bible. They shared with us their book Only One Life. Well today, Michael and Lauren, a dynamic duo, have banded together to share their passion about the transformational power of the Bible in their brand new book, Not What You Think: Why The Bible Might Be Nothing We Expected Yet Everything We Need. "The Bible is a personal story set on a universal stage.” ~ Lauren McAfee CONNECT with Lauren McAfee BOOK: Not What You Think Enjoy the multitude of topics discussed including millennials, humility, Harry Potter, grief, plus so much more.

"Those of us may be open to the Bible, and kind of see it as something that's just out there --- that's the middle group. (Bible Opened)" "Those that are really engaged in the Bible see the Bible as significant for their life; it shapes their life. (Bible Engaged)" "Those that are not really interested in the Bible. They not only don't think about it, but they're definitely not interested that don't want to, wouldn't want to even, if someone invited them to. (Bible Closed)." "If we are the open-minded generation that we are, why not be open-minded towards engaging in this book." "Though we each grew up with families that were very engage in the Bible, we each had to come to terms with the Bible, what we thought about the Bible for ourselves." "We, as Millennials, realize that we're not an older generation that's developed all the expertise. But as Millennials, we have spent a lot of time in the conversations with other Millennials." "Most of us are checking Twitter for the news." "We integrate everything in our life; things between kind of personal and public; the lines are blurred there, because of the rise of social media." "So while we have lots of integrated relationships, we're rarely intimate in those relationships." "So it's about that relationship and not necessarily about the Ten Commandments and rules, though that is apart of the story." "We recognize that we live in a world full of broken people (that's because of sin), and that no church, no Christian is perfect. And so we do cause hurts to each other and sometimes really bad hurts." "I knew that there had to be ways to process through these questions, and even if I couldn't find the answer, at least kind of dig into understanding better where he was coming from." "That was a gift that I wouldn't have had if I wasn't able to be challenged and have people question and bring up good points that were worth considering until I wrestled through that." "Michael mentions that I am a big Harry Potter fan." "There's so much evidence that's hard to push aside. "But also realize that not all content is of equal value." "Michael and I are so grateful for what we know from scripture, and that firm foundation to hold to in the midst of suffering when we don't understand, it doesn't make sense, we don't know why." "We have that hope because of who Christ is and what He's done for us." What has your story gifted you? Courage "Courage to have more conversations with others about engaging in the Bible."

Feb. 14 marked the 2020 Boskone book expo and I had a great time, as usual. I got the chance to speak to a lot of great writers, and the interviews are collected in the first of two episodes. In the first, Michael McAfee of the Post Meridian Radio Players talks about the show they did at Boskone “The Silver Shade: Help From The Shadows.” Michael tells me about the casting process and how they plan for the worst to happen. Author Tabitha Lord and I haven't spoken in years and there is a lot to recap! She's completed her sci-fi “Horizon” series and tells me about the urban fantasy story she's working on now, which includes a lot of research. Last in this episode is Vincent O'Neil, who has been hard at work shopping around the script for his “Handler Hank” short story. He goes into the transition from short story to script and what other of his works he'd like to see on the screen.
In this episode, we’re sharing a 2019 Collective Impact Convening keynote talk titled, “From the “Why” to the “How": Operationalizing Equity in Collective Impact” by Professor john a powell, who serves as Director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at the University of California Berkeley. Following the keynote, Michael McAfee, President and CEO of PolicyLink, joins Professor Powell in a discussion about what’s needed to prioritize equity within collective impact work.

Michael and Lauren McAfee bring a first hand knowledge of living as a Millennial combined with in-depth study of what the Bible actually is to create an engaging conversation around scripture. We discuss how to have a conversation about scripture in a culture that has so many misunderstadings of the good book. Special Guests: Lauren McAfee and Michael McAfee.
Social media mania, computer crazed, smart phone savvy and oh yeah, more spiritual than religious. The Millennial generation may have an affinity for avocado toast and taking selfies, but they shun organized religion having been raised on the internet and individual freedoms, aka 'determining right and wrong for themselves.' But something happened to a few of those Millennials who are now searching for something beyond a surface spirituality. They craved a foundational faith that transcends theirs, and their parents' generation. That's who Lauren and Michael McAffee represent. Their book, "Not What You Think: Why The Bible Might Be Nothing We expected Yet Everything We Need," is a commentary on the state of their generation's spiritual mindset, but also a candid prescription of what it actually needs and hungers for. Their own spiritual genealogy shows a strong religious background. Lauren is the daughter of Stephen Green, head of the Hobby Lobby franchise, and major benefactor of the Museum of the Bible. But that disclaimer allows her to be honest about her own spiritual questions. She and Michael have made their faith their own. They've looked at the evidence, and now want to tell their contemporaries what they concluded.
Do you ever have questions about the Bible? My friends Michael and Lauren McAfee are experts and students of God's Word. They share what to do when you have questions about the Bible. Lauren's family, the Green Family are the founders of Hobby Lobby, and the visionaries behind Museum of the Bible. In fact, almost no one I know loves God's Word more than them! You will love hearing from these young leaders, and their encouragements for those with honest questions about the Bible.

How do we impart biblical truth to the younger generations? I'll discuss it with Michael McAfee, director of Bible Engagement for Museum of the Bible and co-author of the book, "Not What You Think." Plus: More attacks on Christianity from homosexual Democrat mayor Pete Buttigieg, while pro-LGBT Taylor University students walk out on Vice President Mike Pence's commencement address. We'll talk about that and more on Tuesday's JANET MEFFERD TODAY.
