[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk about authenticity in the age of AI. One of the things that I do, Katie, as you know, is I do a daily video series. I actually batch do it on Sundays when I’m cooking dinner for my family, because I have two hours in the kitchen of otherwise spent time cooking. And I have seen this question asked more than any other question in the marketing channels of Reddit. And it drives me up a wall every time I see it. And so I thought I would give it to you just for fun, which is how can I use AI automation to automate my LinkedIn presence while still remaining authentic? Katie Robbert: You can’t. Christopher S. Penn: That’s what I said. No. Katie Robbert: All right, the podcast is over. You can’t. Next. I mean, here’s the thing. That’s an oxymoron, or whatever other way you want to say these two things are not aligned. You can’t automate your way into authenticity. I’m sorry, you just can’t. And I know, Chris, you are a huge fan of automating as much as humanly possible, but for you, there’s an authenticity in that. There is an expectation that Christopher S. Penn is going to be part cyborg, part robotic. And I mean that in all seriousness, as part of your professional brand. That’s authentic. People expect that if you were to open up your head, there would be a computer panel in there, and that’s just part of your brand that you’ve built for you. That’s authentic. But there’s still a stamp of you as the human and your take and your thoughts and your feelings about things that are a common thread across all of your content. If you haven’t built that as part of your professional brand, your personal brand, whatever brand you have as part cyborg, then automating yourself into authenticity isn’t going to happen. If I started doing that, people would think that I had probably—what do they say?—been unalived, and Chris was trying to put in the simulated version of Katie so that nobody knew. It’s not something that would work for someone like me because it’s not part of my brand. You can’t throw in automation and say, “But also keep it authentic.” Christopher S. Penn: And yet that is probably the top question in the marketing subreddit, in the social media marketing subreddit, et cetera. People want to phone it in. Katie Robbert: They do want to phone it in because you get so much more done. Now here’s the thing. I was telling you guys last week that I was using Claude Cowork to draft a bunch of articles that I’ve been posting on LinkedIn. I had one drop as of the time of this recording, my second one dropped. And it’s talking about the way in which we’re approaching training. Yes, I’ve used generative AI to help me pull that information together. But I, the human, still have to go through the article, I have to edit the article to make sure it’s my voice, things that I would say. What I’m doing with these automations that I’m building is I’m just expediting the data gathering from the exact same data that I, the human, would have been looking at. But instead, I’m letting the machine do the pattern matching faster and I’m saying, “Oh yeah, that is what I’m looking at,” or “No, that isn’t what I thought this was going to be.” So that’s really how I’m automating with AI, but I’m still keeping it authentic to me. I would like to believe, Chris, that you don’t read those articles and go, “Katie didn’t write that. That’s not her point of view. That’s not what she would say about this. She’s not saying put human first. That’s not her.” Christopher S. Penn: Here’s where I think a lot of the problems begin, is that people are automating, and you can see this by the sheer number of comments you get on your LinkedIn posts and things that are clearly phoned in by someone’s software. There are problems across the spectrum here. One of them, and this is a pretty obvious one, is that the people who create the software packages to do this are using the cheapest models possible because they want high speed, not high quality. And as a result, you get very weird language out of these bots that someone called “answer-shaped answers.” They don’t actually say anything; they just kind of look like answers. It’s like, “Great insight, Katie, that process,” and it just does a one-sentence summary of your post and doesn’t add anything and adds some weird emoji. So there’s a technological problem, but I think the bigger problem is—and if we go back to the 5P framework by Trust Insights—it feels like they don’t know why they’re doing it. They just know that they just need to make stuff, so there’s no purpose. And it’s unclear what the performance is in terms of an actual business outcome other than making stuff. Katie Robbert: This is interesting. It goes deeper than just AI technology. We as humans sort of—gosh, it is way too early for me to be trying to get this deep, but let me give it a shot anyway. I often think when you say we don’t know why we’re doing it, we’re just supposed to. That is a human condition. I think about people who enter into certain careers or enter into certain relationships and then you look and you go, “But they’re not happy. Why are they doing that?” Because they don’t know, because they’ve been told they have to. Because that’s how it goes. Because that’s what they are obligated to do for whatever reason. And I feel like if you take that human condition and then you apply this pressure of artificial intelligence, and everybody’s moving fast and everybody’s doing it, and if all of your friends jumped off the AI cliff, would you also jump off the AI cliff? And you’re like, “Yes, absolutely, because I don’t want to be left out.” That’s sort of where we’re at. And so people are struggling to figure out how they could and should be using artificial intelligence because everybody else is. I got a call yesterday from my mother-in-law, and she was asking me, “Do you think that this is going away?” And I was like, “Is what going away?” She goes, “AI.” And I was like, “It’s not. Unfortunately or fortunately, whatever side you’re on, it’s not going anywhere.” It’s only going to continue to advance. Now, I talk about it like it’s a piece of software. It is a piece of software. But this piece of software is different from other software in the sense that it is doing things for you that you previously had to do for yourself. And people are finding that convenience very handy. But back to your original question, Chris. It removes the authenticity from what you’re doing. So, oh, gosh, maybe a kitchen example, which is one that we like to go through. You can get takeout from a fancy restaurant, you can get the ingredients shipped to you from a meal packing company, or you can go to the store and buy all the stuff yourself and do your own measurements and spices. Each version of that, you’re going to create the same dish, but you’re going to get different results because of how it was created and the skill set that was used to create the dish. So let’s say it’s lasagna. Your lasagna may be a little more rustic, maybe a little less polished, but it’s authentic because you made it. The one you get from the meal kit is probably kind of mediocre because the ingredients are all weighed out and all precise and there’s really no wiggle room to add your own stamp into it. And then you get the expert level, which comes from the five-star restaurant. And they’re going to have their own stamp on it, but it’s the expertise level. And so it may taste outstanding, but you can’t recreate it because you’re not at that skill level. I sort of feel like people are trying to find which version of cooking a lasagna is going to work best for them, and they’re kind of mixing up some of the steps and some of the ingredients, and they’re getting those weird answer-shaped answers. Christopher S. Penn: And I think there’s the added layer of they want it to taste like the restaurant made, but they don’t want to pay for it. Katie Robbert: Right. Christopher S. Penn: And they don’t want to wait, and they don’t want to put the effort in. So they’re trying to do fast, cheap, and good, all three at the same time. And that typically is very difficult to do. You can use AI capably in an automated fashion, even on social media. However, it’s not a piece of software you buy off the shelf. It’s not something that, to your point when we started out, is always going to be on brand, nor is it going to have the background information necessary that you would need to generate stuff that’s going to be authentic in the sense of this is something that you would actually say. There’s a lot of stuff that sort of clanks around in our brains that is not going to be explicitly declared in a piece of software. So you and I have been working, for example, on a project to create sort of digital twins of ourselves, the co-CEO we’ve mentioned a number of times. These are good as decision-making assistants or a second set of eyes on things. But even with a tremendous amount of data, they still don’t capture a lot of who we are because a lot of the time, things like our failures don’t make it into those tools. I was writing my newsletter on Saturday, and the first draft sucked. I’m like, “Well, this sucks. And I’m not even sure what the point was. I forget what I was trying to write about.” I ended up going a completely different direction with mostly the same ideas, but totally reorganized. That failure is not recorded anymore. At no point is there a prompt that can encapsulate me going, “What the hell am I even doing? Why did I write this and pivot rapidly?” And so if we’re trying to create these automations in social media, that information is not there. Katie Robbert: Well, to expand upon that point about the digital twins and trying to find that authenticity within the automation, I look at something like the co-CEO, and we have given it a lot of my writing. We have given it a lot of the ways that I would make decisions in the 5P framework and that kind of thing. Nowhere in that background information do we give it the context of why I needed to create the 5P framework or why I manage people the way that I do, and the experiences that I’ve had of being managed poorly, or the trauma of working in a corporate environment and being reduced to fixing people’s billing hours to make sure that they all line up and you can bill the client exactly 40 hours or whatever it is they’ve contracted for. And that is all that you have the authority to do. That information doesn’t live in the co-CEO. My sarcasm doesn’t live in the co-CEO. My unhinged thinking or sometimes letting the thing that you’re not supposed to say out loud come out doesn’t live in the co-CEO. But those are things that make me authentic as a human. My messy background isn’t in the co-CEO. And the reason my background is messy is because I have a very large dog behind me that is actually the boss of everything. And so that’s her domain, but those things don’t make it in. And I think that’s what we’re forgetting. To your point, we’re giving these automated systems all of the positives, all of the things that work, because that’s how AI has to work. You can’t say, “All right, every few days build in a failure point and then figure out how to fix it and learn from that and grow from that and become a stronger automated version of Chris from that.” That’s just not how those systems work. That’s how the human works, and we have to learn from those things. You’re missing that whole layer of the human experience, and that’s the authenticity. Christopher S. Penn: Probably for another time, but what you just described does exist now. It is a very high technical bar to implement, but it does exist and people are using it. And believe me, they’re not using it for social media posting. Katie Robbert: But when I think about that technology existing, to your point, you said there’s a high technical bar. I’m speaking for the everyday person. Our expectation is we’re not going to open ChatGPT and say, “Do this task, but fail five times and then on the sixth time, get it right.” Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that’s correct. These things are highly experimental and maybe that’s again a topic for another time about where the technology is going because some very interesting, kind of strange things are going on. So getting back to the idea of authenticity versus AI, when the 8,900th person asks me this question, there’s a couple different answers. One, if you want to automate something and have it be authentic, create a robot account. Create an account that says, “Hi, I’m an AI robot.” So that people are very clear that’s an AI robot answering. And there’s never a doubt in anyone’s mind that it’s masquerading as human. Because what we ultimately want to do is disclose this is a machine, so that you have a choice as the user if you want to take into account what the machine is having to say. And the second thing is using it as a companion, if you install Chrome’s new Web MCP or the variety of other new tools that have arrived in the automation ecosystem. So that you can say, “Here’s the comment I’m thinking about leaving on Katie’s new post on LinkedIn. What did I miss? Or what would make this comment stronger? Or what would provoke a more interesting discussion?” And using the tool not as the one doing the work, but as the second set of eyes as you’re interacting online to make you a smarter human. Katie Robbert: I know we’re using it as an example, but my first thought is, why do you need AI to do that in the first place? Why can’t you, the human, just read the article and leave your comment? And I guess that’s a whole other topic of, and we’ve talked about it in various contexts, but just because you can use AI doesn’t mean you should. And this is one of those instances where I’m just sort of baffled of why would you need AI to do this particular task? It should be—I’m not saying it is, but it should be strictly human. And your opinion. Christopher S. Penn: Ben Affleck has the answer for you. Katie Robbert: Oh boy. Christopher S. Penn: In a recent conversation—I think it was actually an interview with Matt Damon—it was about their new movie on Netflix. And one of the things that they said in filmmaking that has gotten very challenging for writers and directors to deal with is the directive from, in this case, Netflix, from the studio that said you must have a character actively restate the plot of the movie up to that point because people are not paying attention. They don’t watch, they don’t listen, they don’t read. And so you have to have a character literally say out loud, “Hey, here’s what’s happened so far.” So that when someone pulls their attention away from their phone for two minutes to tune into the movie, they know what’s going on. Like you published your article this morning on LinkedIn. It is a lengthy article. It is not a short, quippy piece. And the reality is people do not read in depth and retain in the same way that they used to. And this is not an AI thing. There was a very interesting study that came out a year and a half ago saying that short-form video, TikToks and Reels and stuff like that, causes bizarre rearrangement in the brain to the point where it materially damages memory. There’s another paper that came out last week. There was a first randomized controlled trial of ChatGPT in education that said it causes substantial cognitive deskilling. So to your question, why wouldn’t a human just read it and comment as a human? A fair number of people appear to be losing the— Katie Robbert: skill to do that, which is mind-boggling. But I guess that’s not for me to comment on or pass judgment on. But I feel like you’re describing two different things. One is, “Hey AI, summarize this longer article for me.” That’s one use case. The other use case is, “Hey AI, draft a response for me.” Summarizing that article, I think, is a fine use case for AI. But, “Hey AI, I didn’t read the article. Draft a response for me.” Don’t do that. Read the article. Even if you have to use that summarization, that’s fine. But don’t let AI speak for you. Christopher S. Penn: And yet. Katie Robbert: I know. I’ve often been called an idealist, and I get why people say that about me. But it is baffling to me. Maybe I’m in a unique position—I don’t think I am—to be saying that. But I don’t see how you can have AI do it for you and keep it authentic. I don’t think there’s enough from my point of view, and I could be wrong. I’m sure you’re going to tell me that I’m wrong. But from my point of view, there isn’t enough information that you could give one of these systems about yourself to ever have it truly be an authentic version of yourself. Because you’d have to upload things like your childhood memories, your patterns of thinking, which is something, Chris, we were talking about the other day, which is a whole other fascinating topic that we should dig into another time. First of all, you have to have self-awareness to be able to speak to those things in a coherent, credible way. And second, you have to have enough of that information. And I feel like all you would be doing is maintaining that machine as you live your life as a human and saying, “Okay, today I had this experience. This is how I felt and thought about this thing.” A lot of people don’t know how they feel and think about everything that’s happening to them. That’s why therapy exists. How are you going to put that into a machine? Christopher S. Penn: And yet people are. Katie Robbert: I know, but that’s what I mean. You can’t do it in such a way that you’re truly going to have an authentic version. Christopher S. Penn: Right. So I guess the question there is what is authentic enough? Clearly what most people are running now in terms of the software to do these automated comments is not enough. Katie Robbert: Right. Christopher S. Penn: When you get, “Hey Katie, great insights, rocket ship.” However, given the relatively low stakes of leaving random weird comments on places like LinkedIn, what is the bar of authenticity? Because we know obviously there’s the fully authentic experience, there’s the fully robotic, clearly machine-made experience, and then there’s this large gray zone in the middle. Where is that line, I guess, is the question. And then the secondary question is, is there a point where it is acceptable for the machine to reach that line? And it be a useful contribution to the conversation and discussion. As our friend Brook Sells likes to say, think conversation. Katie Robbert: Well, here’s the thing. It’s going to look different for everybody. Believe it or not, there are people who respond in that manner that sounds like AI because it’s what they’ve learned. It’s what they know. It’s a comfort zone for them. My recommendation is, if you are considering automating some of these things, is to do a little bit of AB testing outside of actually going live. So, for example, Chris, when some of the video tools and some of the graphics AI systems were coming about, you were experimenting with avatars of you speaking, and I immediately clocked it as, “Well, that’s not Chris Penn,” because I know you well enough. And so it’s a good AB test to give two pieces of content, short-form, long-form, whatever, to someone who knows you well and say, “Can you tell which of these I wrote and which of these the machine wrote?” And if they can’t tell, then you’ve gotten to a point of authenticity that is passable enough for you to put it on social media. But if it’s immediately, “Oh, yeah, that one’s AI,” then you’re not there yet. And I think that it’s going to look different for everybody. But it’s a good exercise to see, number one, where is that line for you? And number two, do you know yourself well enough to be able to program the machines in a way to say, “This is what I sound like. This isn’t what I sound like.” Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. Which is, if you want to do it well, is an extensive process, of course, not something you do in one paragraph. Katie Robbert: And I think that again, you sort of pick and choose those guardrails to say, “And this is where I will let AI speak for me. And this is not where I will let AI speak for me.” You have to make those choices, because the more control you give to the machine, the more risk you’re introducing into your brand, because machines go off the rails, they hallucinate, they say things that you may not have ever said in your entire life. And if you are not supervising them, if you are not QAing them, then how do you walk that back and be like, “Oh, the machine said that, not me.” Christopher S. Penn: Nobody’s going to believe you. The counterpoint to that—and this is again a topic for another time, but is worth thinking here—is what happens when the machine makes a better you than you are. We both know people who speak entirely in jargon. You can talk to them for 45 minutes. You’re like, “What the hell did that person just say? That was just babble. They were just stringing words together. Playing buzzword bingo.” I could see a case where an AI version of that person would actually be an improvement on that person. Then when you talk to the real person, you’re like, “You’re not the same person. You’re much dumber.” Katie Robbert: But I feel like that’s—now, to your point, that’s a different conversation. Because if you’re saying authenticity, then the bot version of a person better sound just as confused. It needs to be speaking in riddles and never getting to a point all the time. But yes, there’s probably a better version of me. A more focused, a more coherent, a more straight-to-the-point bot version of me that could be created. And I can see that’s sort of where we’re taking the co-CEO. It’s not to diminish what I bring to the table. And it’s not to say the bot is smarter, but the bot doesn’t have to be distracted by things like, “Oh, the dog needs to go out right now,” or “I’m hungry,” or “I have to take a phone call.” Those distractions don’t exist in that virtual world. And that already makes that bot version of me superior because they don’t have to have those human experiences that pull away from their core focus. So I would absolutely have that conversation about what a better version entails. And I think that when we say “better,” we need to put that in quotes because that doesn’t always mean that you, the human, are then diminished. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, exactly.

What if the most important thing you teach your child has nothing to do with curriculum? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Emma Bortins sits down with her mother-in-law and Classical Conversations founder Leigh Bortins to discuss the ideas behind her new book, The Habits: Practicing the Art of Grammar. Together they explore how naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling build the foundational habits that help children — and homeschool families — truly flourish. If you're a homeschool mom looking for a classical Christian approach to raising lifelong learners, this conversation is for you. Leigh opens by sharing how it took her twelve years of homeschooling to truly understand what her husband had been telling her all along — that what children need most is consistency. It wasn't until she had a second set of young boys while her older sons were teenagers that the power of habits became undeniable. The routines she had built into Robert and John made it possible to keep the family functioning; without them, the whole thing would have fallen apart. From that personal foundation, the conversation moves into the heart of the book: a framework of five habits — naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling — that Leigh calls the building blocks of a grammar education. These aren't abstract academic concepts. They're what every good mother already does instinctively: naming the dog, teaching a toddler not to touch the stove, helping a child memorize where mom will be in Walmart. The point is to recognize these habits, name them, and practice them with intention. The episode takes a fascinating turn when Emma asks about AI and technology. Leigh's position is clear: children under 12 don't need screens at all. Not because technology is inherently evil, but because children who never learn to entertain themselves, sit still, or be alone with their thoughts will struggle with self-control for the rest of their lives — with or without technology. The habits of self-governance have to come first. The episode closes with Leigh's single most important piece of advice for new homeschoolers: find a mentor. Not a curriculum. Not a method. A person who seems to be doing it well and is willing to let you watch. What You'll Learn - What the art of grammar actually means — and why it's about far more than memorization - The five core habits of the grammar stage: naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling - Why Leigh says attending is the one habit she'd tell every family to start practicing today - How habits shape not just academic ability but character, self-control, and spiritual formation - Why parents need to self-assess their own habits before they can effectively pass them on - What Leigh thinks about AI and technology — and her recommendation for families with children under 12 - Why feeling inadequate to homeschool is universal — and why it's not actually the obstacle you think it is - How the habits formed in the grammar years show up years later in college anatomy and chemistry courses - Where to find Leigh online and which books to read alongside The Habits This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by: Summit Ministries Do you want your child to have conversations that challenge, encouragement that endure, and friends and faith for life?

Caroline sat down with Caroline Bryan back in 2019 and we're sharing that episode ICYMI! Not only is Caroline a total bombshell, she is the funniest prankster I have ever witnessed. Over Christmas, Caroline did “the 12 days of pranks” where she hid in a life size teddy bear and scared every family member and friend walking by, put fingernail polish on a bar of soap only to hear Luke wonder why it’s not lathering up lol, plus many more pranks involving snakes, fog horns and fart machines. She also has a sidekick, LeClaire, Luke’s mother-in-law. Luke definitely got his dance moves from his mother, bc she can cut a rug! The Bryan Family is so much fun and so inspiring. They know how to enjoy life and find joy in everyday. Caroline and I chat about her love story with Luke and how they met in college. We also talk about how she and Luke have survived tragedy. Luke lost both his siblings and brother-in-law, and took in their 3 children: a son who was in high school and 2 college age daughters to live with them and their 2 sons Bo and Tate. Caroline and Luke also started a charity, Brett’s Barn, with Caroline’s brother and sister-in-law, in honor of her brother’s daughter Brett who died at a very young age. Brett’s Barn opens its doors to sick and disabled children to come pet and love on the animals. It’s a true sanctuary. Caroline has a heart of gold and uses her life to spread love and healing and laughs. She is such an example of faith. It was amazing to hear her story with Luke and see how they have such an incredible marriage and life in the midst of the wild world of the music industry and personal heartbreak.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John 9:1-41As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man's eyes, saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.' Then I went and washed and received my sight.” They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.” Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And they were divided. So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” His parents answered, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” Then they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out.Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him. Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.” Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,' your sin remains.” I'm not proud of it, but I binge-watched two-and-a-half seasons of the Netflix reality show “Love is Blind” over the course of two or three days, following my emergency gall bladder surgery in September. Again, I'm not proud. I confess. I repent. And I blame the pain meds.The premise of this waste of time is that men and women go on literal blind dates, where they spend a period of time dating one another behind walls and closed doors, in private rooms. They sit in pods and have all manner of discussion about all manner of things and decide without ever seeing each other, that they are in love, or not. During all of this, the men live in one shared space and the women in another. So, there's competition and gossip and lies and drama. Eventually, there are marriage proposals and then face-to-face meetings those who get engaged. Then the lucky, newly-engaged couples travel together for a group romantic getaway where there is lots of sunshine, beaches, swimsuits, hot tubs, and the like. And more competition, in-fighting, gossip, lies, and drama, of course.All of this is build-up to each couple's potential wedding day, the outcome of which is never known by anyone, for certain, until they reach the altar, dressed in tuxedos, wedding gowns and before very real pastors, priests, rabbis, and justices of the peace – according to their faith tradition, or lack thereof. Neither the viewer, nor the potential brides or the prospective grooms or their families, know for sure … until the very last moment … if the betrothed are going to say “I do.” Of course, the drama really comes when one of the two says “No” or “I Can't” or “I Don't” to their partner's hopeful expression of love and commitment.It's terrible – once the meds wore off, the pain was gone, and I was on the mend, I didn't even bother to finish that third season. It's one of the many signs of the decline of western civilization, I'm sure. It's one of many reasons, I suspect, that, if there is intelligent life on other planets, they've decidedly NOT bothered to make contact. All of this is mostly confession and repentance, but I'll come back to it – however briefly – in a minute.But first, this miracle story, which is a doozy … and a well-known one at that … the spit, the dirt, the mud pie – and this guy who'd been blind his whole life – who gets his eyesight back. And there are so many others … miracle stories, I mean, in Scripture: the little girl who gets up from a death-bed nap; Simon Peter's mother-in-law, whose fever breaks; the demons who leave from that guy in the synagogue; the woman who had been hemorrhaging for years, the leper who's made clean, and so on.And you can't help but wonder about all those people – in Jesus' day and in our own – whose healing never comes: the demon that never leaves; the fever that never breaks; the blindness that never goes away, the cancer, the diabetes, the dying that seem to win the day.And because of all that – because so many of us go without the miracles we long for – I can't help but believe Jesus' willingness and ability to heal doesn't have as much to do with ridding people or the world of sickness as much as we'd like to believe or pretend. Just like the Pharisees, we get caught up in the “who, what, how, when, and where” of what Jesus did for this blind guy and we ignore or don't care so much about what Jesus tells us – right at the beginning of it all – about the WHY of what he had done that day.This guy had been born blind, remember. And to his parents, to his neighbors, to the Pharisees, certainly, and even to the blind guy himself, that meant he was sinful in some way. As we know, medical science back in the day wasn't what it is for us now – so many generations later. When someone was sick or even just different somehow – whether it was leprosy, leukemia or whatever it is that makes a lame person unable to walk – their difference was understood to be proof that they were being judged by God and punished, then, for some kind of sin.You can hear it in the disciples' question to Jesus, before the healing occurs: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind?” (Apparently, on top of all the rest, your physical diseases and differences could also be the result of another person's sins, as well as your own.) But Jesus doesn't break out the medical books, give the man an eye exam, make a diagnosis, or chart a treatment plan. He says, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him.” (Not only does this imply that there's nothing wrong with being blind, but it lets us know God was up to something more than just a magic trick.)So, Jesus gets to the business of doing “God's works,” by way of a little mud and some spit. And if “miracle” means supernatural, irrational, unexpected, unexplainable – or something like that – here is where the real miracle of this morning's Gospel occurs. The miracle of what God accomplishes through Jesus, not just for the blind man on the roadside that day so many years ago, but for every one of us – and our neighbors out there in the world, too – isn't so much that God cures blindness; it's that the eyes of those who can already see are opened to a God who loves without measure and promises eternal life, on this side of Heaven.What the disciples, the Pharisees, the blind man and his family, friends and neighbors were meant to witness that day wasn't just a physical healing. The real joy for this man who once was blind but now could see, wasn't that he could throw away his walking stick or go get a driver's license. The real miracle and true joy for the blind man who received his sight was that God transformed what had been called Sin, into forgiveness; God turned judgment into freedom; God made what was supposedly broken, whole; God made one who was unworthy, worthy – and loved and liberated and allowed to experience the fullness of the Kingdom, just like the rest of his friends, family, neighbors.And that's supposed to be our miracle, too. The miracle of Jesus Christ is that God's grace is big enough for all people – and especially for the sick, sinful, broken, needy, or just plain DIFFERENT by the standards of the world. That's miraculously good news for the gay or trans kids too many pretend are sinful or broken for being born a certain way. This is good news for Jewish people in our day and age, being targeted and terrorized – still and yet again – by a world that can't appreciate their status as God's children. This is the Gospel for anyone who faces bigotry, discrimination, exclusion, or injustice because they don't measure up, fit the mold, or walk, talk, live, move, or breathe like the masses – or to the liking of the powers that be.What the world calls unworthy, God claims and cherishes. What the world can't overlook, God forgives. What the world considers unlovable, God loves. What the world nails to a cross, God raises from the dead.The most amazing miracle is that God's love is most decidedly NOT blind. God sees all of us from the inside out – the broken and the beautiful; the sinful and the sacred; the holy and the horrible – and God loves us, still … and always … and commands us to do the same for one another, in the name of Jesus. And it's no small miracle when we get it right.Amen
The podcast delves into the profound journey of Jeremy Spillane, who narrates his experiences following the passing of his mother-in-law, Joan, and father-in-law, Roger. This episode emphasizes the remarkable signs and communications that Jeremy and his wife Caroline believe they received from Joan after her sudden death. Within days of her passing, they noticed inexplicable phenomena, such as televisions turning on unexpectedly, which they interpreted as messages from Joan. This initial experience catalyzed Jeremy's exploration into the world of paranormal investigations, leading him to acquire various ghost-hunting equipment, including a K2 meter, an SLS camera, and an Ovilus device. He recounts the emotional encounters they had with these devices, particularly when they were able to capture Roger's spirit as a stick figure on the SLS camera, thus affirming their belief in the existence of an afterlife. Throughout the discussion, the themes of loss, the quest for understanding, and the interplay between technology and the spiritual realm are intricately woven together, providing listeners with a compelling narrative that challenges the boundaries of conventional belief.Pre-order Joan and Roger Alive in the Afterlife on Amazon:https://amzn.to/4sPwSfU

Aber ich habe jetzt beschlossen allen meinen Zuhörern, auch denjenigen, die ein Android Handy haben, Zugang zu werbefreien Episoden zu verschaffen. Was ist überhaupt Werbung? Tja, wenn ich das Abonnement auf german-stories.com anpreise, dann ist das Werbung. Eigenwerbung, um genau zu sein.

Hitler and My Mother-in-Law (OR Books, 2025) is a riveting memoir that explores the intersection of truth—both familial and political—through the colorful and complex life of the author's mother-in-law. In a time like our own of intense propaganda and manipulation, the only WWII female correspondent who covered both theaters of war, Pat Hartwell identified Hitler from a pile of ashes for the US military, and the troops awarded her with a million-dollar painting from Hitler's study. Really? She was the only woman in the CBS news room, assistant to the head of the Office of War Information, VP of one of the largest public relations companies in the world, third in command of UNICEF where she convinced Matisse to provide artwork for free, editor of her own Arizona newspaper where she hustled naïve art on the side, and eventually head of the Hawai'ian arts council, a state of extremely complex political and social stakeholders, where she left a legacy of preventing art fraud. Her story is a fascinating journey through history, art, and deception. The memoir delves into the art of invention and the shapeshifting of memory and truth, interwoven with humorous yet profound moments. It examines the comical Soviet efforts to conceal Hitler's death, McCarthy's investigations, and the author's own struggle to compete with both her mother and her mother-in-law. Threaded throughout are insights into organizations that malign the word "mother" and, of course, plenty of mother-in-law jokes. With meticulous research and a unique perspective, Hitler and My Mother-in-Law challenges the boundaries of narrative honesty, offering a powerful exploration of propaganda, identity, and the personal reckoning that defines the art of memoir. It's a gripping mix of history, family, humor, and a biting reflection on the politics of truth—past and present.

Hitler and My Mother-in-Law (OR Books, 2025) is a riveting memoir that explores the intersection of truth—both familial and political—through the colorful and complex life of the author's mother-in-law. In a time like our own of intense propaganda and manipulation, the only WWII female correspondent who covered both theaters of war, Pat Hartwell identified Hitler from a pile of ashes for the US military, and the troops awarded her with a million-dollar painting from Hitler's study. Really? She was the only woman in the CBS news room, assistant to the head of the Office of War Information, VP of one of the largest public relations companies in the world, third in command of UNICEF where she convinced Matisse to provide artwork for free, editor of her own Arizona newspaper where she hustled naïve art on the side, and eventually head of the Hawai'ian arts council, a state of extremely complex political and social stakeholders, where she left a legacy of preventing art fraud. Her story is a fascinating journey through history, art, and deception. The memoir delves into the art of invention and the shapeshifting of memory and truth, interwoven with humorous yet profound moments. It examines the comical Soviet efforts to conceal Hitler's death, McCarthy's investigations, and the author's own struggle to compete with both her mother and her mother-in-law. Threaded throughout are insights into organizations that malign the word "mother" and, of course, plenty of mother-in-law jokes. With meticulous research and a unique perspective, Hitler and My Mother-in-Law challenges the boundaries of narrative honesty, offering a powerful exploration of propaganda, identity, and the personal reckoning that defines the art of memoir. It's a gripping mix of history, family, humor, and a biting reflection on the politics of truth—past and present.

Hi! First of all, I recorded a voiceover of this So Into That! Click the play button above if you'd like to listen. I really, really tried not to cry, but it was just a crying kind of day apparently.I've had a wild few weeks of travel — both for pleasure to Mexico with the kids, and then, eight hours after landing from Mexico, I left for a 10-day work trip that included announcing my new book on Good Morning America, delivering a keynote at my alma mater (go Heels), taping an upcoming appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, bringing my 5-year-old along for the second half of the trip, and having a bazillion meetings and coffees in between.That 10-day trip marked the end of breastfeeding my fourth baby. I breastfed my first baby for 14 months, my second baby for 12 months, my third baby for six months, and my fourth baby for seven months. That's three years and three months of breastfeeding. Before I go on, I want to say that I am not writing this to glorify breastfeeding. Any way you feed your baby is absolutely perfect. Formula rules. Giving a baby a pumped milk or formula bottle is just as cozy and wonderful (and also difficult at times) as breastfeeding, and provides many or all of the same moments I share below. But I did breastfeed (in combination with formula for my last two babies), so, now that that chapter of my life is behind me, I wrote a toast to it, to say goodbye.Breastfeeding: You made my boobs resemble empty wind socks, you made me question every single food or drink I had consumed in a 48-hour period whenever my baby wiggled slightly too much in his sleep, you made me smell so, so bad, you made my nipples bleed, you made my boobs leak in so many public places, and, according to my math, you consumed roughly 2,400 hours, aka 99 entire days, of my life over the past seven years. You also allowed me to spend precious hours alone with my tiny, perfect babies, to escape countless boring conversations, to get out of so many tedious obligations, and to hide in dark rooms at parties. You created quiet pockets of time in the middle of loud, busy life. You gave me thousands of small moments with my babies that I'll never quite be able to explain to anyone who wasn't there with us. I have loved you, I have hated you, and I have felt pretty whatever about you, sometimes all in the same minute. And it's time for us to say goodbye forever. But before we do, here's a toast to you. To the 1 a.m. feeds, the 3 a.m. feeds, the 3:45 a.m. feeds, the 5 a.m. feeds, and the 5:32 a.m. feeds, when the whole house was silent except for the rhythmic, baby-piglet snorts and gulps. To that first successful latch. To that first public breastfeeding session when you're still trying to maintain a shred of modesty. To that last public breastfeeding session when you've thrown modesty to the wind. To the newly postpartum oxytocin blasts that felt like drugs. To never ever sitting in the rocking chair that my mother-in-law so lovingly bought me, instead preferring to breastfeed in bed, surrounded by pillows, in what my sons aptly named “mama's nest.”To the frantic “I NEED WATER! SERIOUSLY, I'M DYING, PLEASE HELP ME RIGHT NOW!” shouts to my husband. To the times he handed it to me before I even asked and it felt like the truest form of love. To my sons asking “does he need to drink yer boob!?” every time the baby cried. To all the food dropped on my babies' heads. To going from breastfeeding being a quiet, peaceful time to learning how to breastfeed while kissing toddler boo boos, or feeding myself lunch, or building MagnaTile castles, or making snacks. To living life to a soundtrack of white noise. To crying while listening to Michelle Obama's memoir in my first baby's first nursery. To flipping the pages of so many books with my chin because I didn't have any free hands.To my body literally having a super power: the ability to instantly calm a baby. To powering through the extreme discomfort of breastfeeding on the bleachers at a baseball game or on a 90-degree day at a water park or on one of those tiny chairs at a pre-K teacher conference. To the hours spent pinned under a sleeping child, oscillating between feeling trapped and feeling like I was exactly where I was meant to be. To the way a soft diaper-clad newborn felt curled against my soft, squishy postpartum body. To the milk drunk faces. To the milk that dribbled out of the side of their mouth when they couldn't even stay awake long enough to finish that mouthful. To kissing their little face and tasting the sugariness of my own milk and being kind of grossed out but not really.To helping me get to know my babies. To helping me understand every single noise they made except for the really weird ones that made me and my husband or whatever big kid was in the room laugh and laugh at the absurdity of such a tiny, adorable baby making such a wild noise. To my body waking up when the baby's breathing changed ever so slightly because they'd just woken up. To the cheeks and thighs and knuckle dimples and wrist rolls my body created. To all the times I've nibbled on those cheeks and thighs and wrist rolls because I had no other option, I had to.To the thousands of hours of anxiety, joy, pain, and overwhelming contentment.To the end of an era. No more nursing bras. No more leaky boobs. No more pumping! No more calculating feed times before leaving the house.Thank you for allowing me to feed another human with my body, how cool. Thank you for the quiet moments, the escape hatch, and the excuse to re-watch every single season of Gray's Anatomy. And now, respectfully, lovingly, goodbye.Unless you're brand new here, you know that I'm a huge audiobook fan. Audiobooks accompany me on walks, make doing the dishes and folding clothes infinitely more fun, and played in my ear so, so often while I fed/rocked/walked/shushed my babies over the last seven years. I am excited to be partnering with Macmillan Audio today to introduce you to my new-favorite listen that I can't bring myself to press pause on: This Story Might Save Your Life (TSMSYL) by Tiffany Crum, which released yesterday! I've been venturing outside of my usual romance reading over the last few months and am loving this story — it's part romance, part suspense, with a touch of humor. And the audiobook specifically is a work of art. To celebrate the release of TSMSYL, we chatted with Tiffany! CARO: Before we get into This Story Might Save Your Life, we want to learn about you! I know (but also can't believe because it's so well done) that this is your debut novel — give us a quick rundown on your path to becoming a novelist.TIFFANY: First of all, thank you so much for inviting me into your community! My path to getting published was a long one. I've always loved writing, but I never allowed myself to pursue it as a career until my oldest son was born. That was when I realized: if I wanted my children to grow up believing they could follow their dreams, I needed to teach by example and follow mine first. I'd love to end the story there and say that was all it took — boom, immediate book deal! — but in reality it was a winding 18-year journey of writing manuscripts that will (very happily) never see the light of day. In the end, This Story Might Save Your Life is the one where all that practice and determination finally came together.CARO: I can relate to so much of that! How long have you wanted to be an author, and what did you do professionally before writing this book?TIFFANY: I'm not kidding when I say I didn't even let myself think about writing novels until my first son was born. Before I became a parent, I worked full time as an executive assistant in the film industry. After he was born, I reprioritized. I chose to work part time so I could carve out space to pursue my dream while raising our son, and later our sons. We struggled for many of those years, but my husband was completely on board. He likes to say he never had any choice in the matter because I'm miserable when I don't have time to write, but that really downplays how supportive he's always been.CARO: Where do you live and where are you from?TIFFANY: I grew up on a dairy farm just down the road from a maximum-security prison, which is a pretty good origin story for someone who ended up writing suspense. After many years living in California, I now live outside Atlanta with my husband, our two sons, and our two dogs.CARO: What was your inspiration for This Story Might Save Your Life? How and when did the idea come to you? How long did it take you to complete this novel?TIFFANY: I've always been fascinated by the strange intimacy of podcasts. When you listen to someone's voice for hundreds of hours, you start to feel like you know them — even though you've never actually met them. This made me wonder: what if something terrible happened to one half of a beloved podcast duo? How would the audience react? And what if the story behind the microphone turned out to be very different from what listeners believed? The first draft came together quickly because I was head over heels in love with these characters, but, like most novels, it went through several rounds of revision before it became the version readers have now.CARO: OK now give us the scoop on This Story Might Save Your Life! Will you sum up the plot?TIFFANY: This Story Might Save Your Life is both a thriller and a love story about two best friends, Benny and Joy, who host a wildly popular comedy survival podcast, and what happens when one goes missing and the survival story becomes their own.CARO: Is there a podcast that inspired Benny and Joy's — their dynamic together, if not the content itself?TIFFANY: I'm a longtime podcast listener, and I've always loved shows hosted by close friends, particularly My Favorite Murder. Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark were a real source of inspiration for me, not just because of their tangent-filled banter, but also their incredible trajectory to fame. I had a blast writing a duo whose friendship feels as fun and unpredictable as theirs.CARO: I'm an audiobook lover and was so excited to learn that this book's narrated by Julia Whelan (my fave!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins. And I've been blown away by the production of it all. Why the extra attention on audio? TIFFANY: I'm a huge audiobook fan, as well! And because the story revolves around a podcast, it was exciting to have the opportunity to really lean into the audio format. Julia Whelan (the queen!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins are phenomenal narrators. Not only did they absolutely nail their POV chapters, they also recorded the podcast scenes in duet, which makes the listening experience especially immersive. I also wrote a bonus podcast episode just for the audiobook, and my producer had the brilliant idea to include tip-line call-ins, which are incredibly fun to hear. The Macmillan Audio team really knocked it out of the park, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.CARO: How can we expect to feel when we read the last page/listen to the last chapter?TIFFANY: I set out to write a thriller with a soft center. It has twists and tense cliffhanging chapters, but the real heart of the story is the friendship between Benny and Joy. If I've done my job, you'll feel everything from delight to devastation along the way, and close the book feeling satisfied — maybe even with a renewed sense of hope in the goodness of human nature.CARO: Last question! If Joy and Benny were recipes from What to Cook, which would they be?TIFFANY: Easy! Joy and Benny would absolutely choose the 3-ingredient chorizo street tacos. Not only are street tacos their favorite, but the chorizo twist also feels very on brand — a little unexpected and guaranteed to make things more interesting. Plus, a 10-minute meal is always a win!WTC Insiders, we're so excited to announce a new perk of your subscription: a free audiobook download thanks to Macmillan Audio!

Get your smaller size, if between two. * I'm wearing a lot of these turtlenecks with vests these days, which is my best friend Lily's uniform that I stole from her. I got this vest from Sezane while I was in New York and wore it on The Drew Barrymore Show (with a navy turtle under!). I borrowed an old vest from Lily that is similar to this one from Quince to wear on GMA! And I wore this one of Lily's with a dark grey turtle under for my keynote at UNC. I also ordered this one when I got home. I told you, lots of turtlenecks and vests!* St. Patrick's Day is next Tuesday! Low-effort, high-reward holiday moms unite. Last year was my first year as a holiday mom on St. Patrick's Day — I put about 15 minutes of effort into it and my kids still talk about how St. Patrick's Day is the most fun day ever. Here's exactly what I did and what I'm planning to repeat this year: rainbow tic-tacs leading from their bedroom door all the way to the toilet. Toilet dyed green. Leprechaun potty tricks! Then, downstairs, a green tablecloth, rainbow napkins, green plates, crayons with coloring pages from Something To Host, gold chocolate coins scattered all over the table (but this year I got these sour gummy coins instead because my kids don't actually seem to like chocolate coins), a big rainbow-shaped fruit spread (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, apples…) with whipped cream clouds at the bottom of the rainbow. And Lucky Charms!* I just bought this Lake pajama set for probably the twentieth time for a friend's birthday. It's very important for my overcrowded, overstimulated brain to have a few go-to gifts that I know every woman in my life will love and deeply appreciate so that I'm not constantly racking my brain for new ideas. This set is my fave for a pregnant or newly postpartum mom. Another go-to is sending a cookie cake via Instacart or DoorDash with something funny written on it when they need a little pick me up or a birthday hurrah.* One of my best friends from college, Mary Pell, and her daughter Leighton are coming to visit us next week for her Spring Break. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!!! They're coming for three nights, which Mary Pell once told me is the maximum length a guest should stay. “You know what they say, guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.” I love Southerners and their limitless expressions. * Local (Monterey County, CA) people, George and I went to Fishwife in Pacific Grove last night and had the greatest night! It's totally dated but in a great way. Our food was delicious and there were some really inventive sauces. There were also some extremely 90s-feeling elements, like steamed broccoli and squash on every entree, and a truly wild lime green syrup garnishing the key lime pie. It is stuck in time but in a really cozy, still delicious way. We felt like intruders at a locals-only spot. And the service was amazing!!Every week, we dig into the archives to bring a few favorites back to the top of your meal plan. This week's lineup leans heavily into bowls — the kind of dinners that are flexible, packed with flavor, and easy to adapt based on what's in your fridge.1. happy bowls, 2025Roasted sweet potatoes, beets, cauliflower, and red onion piled over grains and greens with a completely addictive cashew sauce. This one's basically a choose-your-own-adventure veggie bowl and an excellent meal-prep situation — make the veggies and sauce once and build your bowls all week.2. thai-ish steak & noodle salad, 2024A Hillstone-inspired noodle salad that tastes restaurant-level but is totally doable at home. Tender steak, herbs, mango, crunchy cabbage, and noodles tossed in a punchy cashew-lime-sesame dressing (that's so good you'll want to drink it!).3. 30-minute pork and kimchi CYOA bowls, 2023A fast, flavor-packed pork and kimchi situation with rice, a drizzly tahini-gochujang sauce, and lettuce leaves to wrap it all up in. Set everything out family-style and let everyone build their own bowl, wrap, or chopped salad.4. sriracha shrimp sushi bowls, 2022All the flavors of sushi night! Sticky rice, saucy shrimp, cucumbers, avocado, and pickled ginger — all without rolling a single piece of sushi. The sriracha-soy marinade doubles as the sauce, which keeps things simple. From WTCer Erin: “Woooooow this one is so flavorful and good. And so freaking quick to prepare!” This recipe's in March's really simple meal plan, in case you're looking for an easy solution to meal planning for the days ahead!5. blackened fish taco bowls, 2021Broiled blackened cod gets piled onto lime-butter rice with citrus salsa and crunchy slaw for bright, taco-inspired bowls. If cooking fish feels intimidating, I will demystify it for you here!Congrats to Megan Z, the winner of last week's Boopshop.org giveaway!

What if the reason your life feels like someone else's rough draft is because, technically, it is? According to today's guest, 95% of the thoughts running your subconscious right now were written by people who no longer have any business running your life. And the universe? It's been listening to every word.Episode Overview Will and Karen sit down with Brenda Lee Mattausch, a consciousness guide and modern spirituality educator who has spent years helping people identify, question, and dismantle the inherited belief systems quietly running their lives on autopilot. This isn't a conversation about manifesting parking spots (well, not only that). It's a grounded, surprisingly funny deep-dive into why most of us are unconsciously co-authoring a reality we didn't actually choose. Brenda brings a no-dogma, test-it-yourself approach to consciousness, energy, and what it actually means to rewrite your script, starting with the words coming out of your mouth right now.If you've ever suspected that the voice in your head sounds suspiciously like your third-grade teacher or your mother-in-law, this one's for you.Key TakeawaysThe 95% problem. Most of what's driving your decisions, relationships, and reactions isn't yours. Brenda explains where those inherited programs come from, and why your brain can't tell the difference between a belief that belongs to you and one that was handed down like a broken piece of furniture.Why the quantum field isn't ignoring you. It's not sending messages. It's responding to yours. Brenda breaks down the crucial distinction, and why what you say you don't want might be exactly what you keep getting.The world as a mirror. A deceptively practical framework for understanding why the toxic, frustrating, infuriating people in your life are showing you something about yourself. No, it's not your fault. But yes, there's something useful there.Observe, don't absorb. Brenda's single most actionable piece of advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world. Simple to say. Worth the work to actually practice.Heart-mind coherence. What it is, what it feels like in your body (spoiler: Will thinks he may have already experienced it, although Brenda gently suggests it might have been acid reflux), and why it's the marker that tells you the rewiring is actually working.How to start, without overhauling your entire life on a Tuesday. The one-thing method for people who want real results without the spiritual overwhelm.About Brenda Lee Mattausch Brenda is a consciousness educator and guide whose own journey began when she started questioning a 49-year-old belief system she had inherited and never examined. She works at the intersection of modern spirituality, subconscious reprogramming, and energetic self-awareness. Her approach is refreshingly practical: test it, prove it to yourself, and leave the dogma at the door.Join the Conversation Does any of this land for you...or does it sound like elevated positive thinking with better branding? That's exactly the tension Will and Karen press on in this episode, and Brenda's answer is worth hearing.Listen in, sit with it, and if something shifts, we'd genuinely love to hear about it. Drop a comment, leave a review, or share this episode with someone who's been feeling like a background character in their own story.And if the parking lot thing works for you? Graduate past it. Brenda says so.The Skeptic Metaphysicians explores spiritual awakening, consciousness, metaphysics, and modern spirituality for people who ask real questions. No gurus. No dogma. Just open-minded curiosity and the occasional existential crisis...handled with humor.

12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 12:55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Welcome to Day 2814 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2814 of our trek. The purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Each Tuesday, I will share the messages I have delivered at Putnam Congregational Church this year. This is the eleventh message in a year-long series covering the Good News as narrated by Luke. Today's message covers Luke four verses thirty-one through forty-four and is titled “Ministry at the Grassroots Level” . I pray it will be a conduit for learning and encouragement for you. Putnam Church Message – 02/08/2026 Luke's Account of the Good News - “Ministry at the Grassroots Level.” Last week, we began our study of the ministry of Jesus Christ with a message titled “Into the Fire,” where we learned that the Road to Calvary began in Nazareth. Today, we continue with the eleventh message in Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ in a message titled “Ministry at the Grassroots Level.” Our Core verses for this week are Luke 4:31-44, found on page 1597 of your Pew Bibles. Follow along as I read. SCRIPTURE READING — Luke 4:31-44 (NIV) Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit 31 Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority. 33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 “Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” 35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. 36 All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area. Jesus Heals Many 38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them. 40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah. 42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea. Opening Prayer Lord God, as we open Your Word today, we ask that You would do more than inform our minds. Shape our hearts. Correct our assumptions. And show us what faithful ministry really looks like— not from a distance, but right in the middle of ordinary life. Give us ears to hear, hearts to obey, and courage to follow where Jesus leads. In His name we pray. Amen. Introduction: Learning by Watching the Master I was not a great student, especially in grade school and high school. In college, I buckled down somewhat and did okay, grade-wise, even while working two part-time jobs to pay for school. But when I look back, the moments that shaped me most weren't lectures—they were moments of watching someone who really knew what they were doing. I learn best by observing an expert. I need a mentor, not just a teacher. I even find that hands-on YouTube videos are extremely helpful, much more than a manual or set of instructions. Someone who doesn't just explain the theory but shows me how it works in real life. That's exactly what Luke gives us in Luke 4:31–44. This passage is the third part of Luke's introduction to Jesus' public ministry: First, Luke summarized Jesus' growing influence (4:14–15) Then he showed us the scope of Jesus' mission in Nazareth—saving those who want a Savior (4:16–30) And now, here in Capernaum, Luke shows us how Jesus actually did ministry. Not from a platform. Not from a palace. Not from the center of religious power. But at ground level, among real people with real problems. Main Point 1: Jesus Taught with Authority Where Life Was Actually Lived Luke 4:31–32 “Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day. There, too, the people were amazed at His teaching, because He spoke with authority.” (NLT) Jesus leaves Nazareth behind and travels downhill—literally and figuratively. Nazareth sat high in the hills. Capernaum sat along the Sea of Galilee, nearly 2,000 feet lower. Luke wants us to notice that while Jesus went down in elevation, His ministry went up in influence. Capernaum wasn't glamorous, but it was strategic: A fishing town, /A trade hub, /A place where ordinary people lived and worked. /And there, Jesus taught. What Made His Teaching Different? Luke tells us the people were “amazed” because Jesus taught with authority — exousia. That word doesn't mean volume. / It doesn't mean charisma. / It doesn't mean clever arguments. / It means as someone who has the right to speak. Most rabbis taught by quoting other rabbis: “Rabbi so-and-so says… but Rabbi such-and-such disagrees…” Jesus didn't do that. /He didn't borrow authority. /He didn't hide behind tradition. /He didn't perform. / He spoke directly from the Word of God, as someone who knew it from the inside out. / Not just because He was divine—but because He lived what He taught. Object Lesson: The Difference Between a Map and a Guide Imagine preparing to hike a difficult trail that you have never seen before. One ranger hands you a map and says, “Good luck.” Another ranger comes alongside you and says, “Follow me—I've hiked this trail before and know it well.” Jesus didn't just give people information. He invited them to follow Him. That's why His teaching carried weight. Ancient Context → Modern Parallel In Jesus' day, people were tired of religious talk that didn't touch real life. In our day, people are tired of: Empty slogans / Shallow answers / Advice that sounds good but doesn't work on Monday morning. What people hunger for—then and now—is truth that meets them where they live. Jesus didn't water down the truth. But He delivered it in a way people could grasp and trust. Supporting Scripture Matthew 7:28–29 — “He taught as one who had authority.” James 1:22 — “Do not merely listen… do what it says.” John 7:46 — “No one ever spoke the way this man does.” Summary of Main Point 1 Jesus' ministry didn't begin with miracles. It began with truth spoken clearly, lived consistently, and offered humbly. Authority in ministry is not about position. It is about faithfulness to God's Word and alignment with God's heart.

Filmmaker Natasha Kermani joins host Aaron Sagers on Talking Strange to discuss her haunting new medieval horror film The Dreadful, now available on demand.Starring Game of Thrones alumni Sophie Turner and Kit Harington alongside Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden, the film follows a woman and her ruthless mother-in-law struggling to survive on the margins of medieval England as a mysterious knight and an ancient curse begin to close in around them.Kermani breaks down the real inspiration behind the film's curse — including the Arthurian Green Knight and Knights Templar, and "The Monkey's Paw" — the gothic folklore that shaped the story, and the eerie tone of medieval horror. She also shares behind-the-scenes insights into directing Turner and Harington in a surprisingly awkward reunion moment that fans of Game of Thrones will definitely notice.Plus, we talk about Marcia Gay Harden's uncanny ability to make violence feel real on screen, and Kermani's previous genre work including Lucky, V/H/S/85, and Abraham's Boys, based on Joe Hill's gothic tale.Question for viewers and listeners:Do you think medieval folklore and curses make horror more believable than modern supernatural stories? _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

In November 1958, Frank Duncan's pregnant wife, Olga Kupczyk, disappeared without a trace from their Santa Barbara home after enduring months of abusive treatment from her mother-in-law. A short time later, Frank's marriage was inexplicably annulled after his mother, posing as Olga, showed up at the local courthouse with a man she'd hired to pose as her son, Frank. One month later, in mid-December, investigators in the small coastal town of Carpinteria, California, were directed to the location of Olga's body in a shallow grave, after one of her killers confessed to kidnapping and murdering her the previous month. The arrest of Augustine Baldonado and his accomplice, Luis Moya, solved the mystery of what happened to Olga, but when it came to the motive for the murder, the truth was more shocking than anyone had expected.

Scripture: Mark 1:29–39 Jesus leaves the synagogue and goes to Simon and Andrew's home—where Simon's mother-in-law is sick with a fever. Jesus comes close, takes her hand, and heals her immediately. That evening, the whole town gathers at the door, and Jesus heals many and drives out demons. Then, while it's still dark, Jesus goes to a quiet place to pray. When the disciples say, “Everyone is looking for you!”, Jesus explains His mission: to go to the nearby villages and preach the good news. Big Idea: Jesus is compassionate—and Jesus has a mission.

This journey is for the seekers and the survivors who know that building a life requires more than just showing up—it requires being awake to the truth. In this session of Life After I Do, Nesha G and Moelethal are stripping away twenty-four years of history to ask the heavy question: What if we met today for the very first time?. We are taking you through a raw and seasoned role-play of a first date to see if our current selves would actually vibe, exploring the red flags, the non-negotiables, and the spicy energy that keeps a connection fresh after a decade of marriage. It is a sobering reality check on whether we are choosing our partners daily or just staying out of habit.Beyond the "what ifs," we are tackling the weight of a $10,000 family betrayal that has us all questioning the true meaning of loyalty. We are breaking down a scandalous story of a mother-in-law allegedly siphoning off tax refunds from her own son, proving that sometimes you have to involve the authorities to protect your legacy and your pockets. You will also see the fire that fuels Nesha G's 200lb bench press goal and the authoritative stance Moelethal takes when it comes to protecting children and their truth.Send a textSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Witness Wednesday #199 Catherine D. Today I would like to share with you a witness about how God came through at the last minute. He does this sometimes. Sometimes it can feel like He is not there, like He didn't hear your prayers, and then just when you think all is lost, He comes through. Last September, I went to Ecuador for my niece's baptism. This was a really big deal for me, as my niece was born at 27 weeks and almost didn't survive. That is a witness for another time. She was in the hospital for 4 months, and just as she got to leave the hospital and go home, COVID happened. She had to stay in her house for over a year. Her grandparents, my brother-in-law's parents, couldn't come here from Ecuador to meet her, and they couldn't travel there due to the pandemic. So, this past September, right before my niece turned 2, they decided to have her baptized in Ecuador. They had asked me to be the Godmother, and I was honored to make the trip to celebrate this amazing occasion. She is a miracle baby for so many reasons, and I was looking forward to being a part of bringing this beautiful girl into the church. My mom and dad traveled down a week early with my sister, brother-in-law, and my niece. Then I was traveling with my mother-in-law, Joanie, as she also loves to travel. The beginning of our trip shows how God shows up in all the details. We had a really early morning flight, and then we had a long layover in Florida. When I say long, I mean we had a 12-hour layover in FL. We were both wondering what we would do to pass the time. We thought about leaving the airport and looking around the city, but we had our luggage, and we didn't really want to walk around town carrying our luggage. I was praying about this on our flight to FL, and the thought came to me that we could rent a car. This way we could keep our luggage in the trunk and drive around the town. Once we landed and got to the car rental place, it turned out it was very inexpensive to rent the car for the day. We were all set and on our way. We drove to the beach, we walked along the boardwalk, we got ice cream, we drove through a beautiful scenic park, and we even got out and went for a nice walk through the park. We had a fantastic day and made it back to the airport in plenty of time to make our next flight. God was in all the details of that day, and He worked things out perfectly for us. This next part of our journey is where things got a little bumpy. We had been traveling since about 4 am. We arrived in Ecuador at about 11 pm. We were tired and ready to get to the hotel and get some sleep. My brother-in-law had our flight info, but we had no way to reach him as our phones did not have international service. This wasn't really a problem as our flight was not delayed, and he could always check with the airport if it had been. Joanie and I wait in the line to go through passport control. We finally get up to passport control, and we can see the door to go out to meet all those waiting to pick you up. We hand over our passports, and the man looks at them, then he looks at us. Then he calls over someone else, and he looks at them, they talk in Spanish, which I don't speak, and I can see the one he called over shaking his head. I start to get nervous. I ask if there is a problem. He said, yes, I am sorry, ma'am, but your passport expires in less than 6 months. No, it does not expire until March of 2022 and we are in September of 2021. He explained that in order for me to enter the country, I have to be at least 6 months away from my expiration date. We looked at my passport, which expired on March 6th, and I landed on March 16th. He said they will only give a 10-day grace period, and I was already at my 10 days. Are you getting this? If I had traveled one week earlier, I would have been fine, but since my passport was going to expire in less than 6 months, 6 months, I couldn't stay. I had this sinking feeling in my stomach, and I asked what that meant. He said he was going to ask his supervisor, and he was going to try to see what he could do, but it probably meant that I would have to get back on a plane that night and go back to America. Joanie and I were so confused. We didn't know what to do. They asked if she wanted to stay, but she said she was with me; if I had to go, she was going home too. The man left us standing there for what felt like a really long time and went to talk to his supervisor. I told Joanie we needed to pray, and we both started to pray. We prayed that God would work some miracle. We prayed that we would get to go to the baptism. I pleaded with God, I begged Him to work his magic and not let them send me home. I praised God and thanked Him, I did and said everything I could think of in that moment, and you know what? It didn't work. The man came back and said he was really sorry, there was nothing he could do, we had to wait for someone from the airlines to come and escort us back to the other part of the airport so we could get on a plane and go back home. Go home without seeing my family, without a way of telling them what is going on, without seeing my niece being baptized. I was heartbroken, and so was Joanie. Even though we were heartbroken, do you know what I told Joanie? It's not too late. We are not back in America yet. We don't have a new ticket yet. We can't give up. Yes, we had done all we could humanly do to help ourselves, but God is the God of the impossible, and He is a way maker. He makes a way where there is no way. I had a chat with God. I told Him that I appreciated all He had done for us that day. I told him how extremely grateful I was that He saved Charlize and that I got to be her Godmother. I let Him know that if he wanted us to get on a plane and go back to America, then we would obey. I also told Him that I knew it wasn't too late for Him to fix this. I told Him I wasn't giving up on the idea that we would make it to the baptism. I told Him that I loved Him, that He is amazing, and that whatever He wanted in that moment was what we wanted. I said, Lord, we believe, help our unbelief. Then I prayed in the Spirit because, honestly, I had no idea what to pray for or what to say. I had no idea how the situation could be fixed, but I knew the Holy Spirit could convey the messages in my heart much better than I could. We sat there for about 20 minutes just waiting for someone from the airlines to come and get us so we could go back home. Then, all of a sudden, the man from passport control walked over, and he said they worked it out and they were going to let us go into the country. He said we were very lucky as they never do this, but they will make this one exception. He was surprised. I told him it wasn't luck, it was the power of prayer. I tell you, I have never been so excited to see my brother-in-law as I was that day walking through those passport control doors. God is so good! He really is. If you are listening to this podcast, then I know you already know this, but we should say it again and again. We should say it often because He really is that good. We don't just say He is the WayMaker, or the God of the Impossible, because it sounds good or because they are cool names. We say it because it is who God is. He really does make the impossible possible. He makes a way where there isn't one. There was no logical reason why they let me through that night. We should have been put on a plane and sent back to America, and yet that was not what God wanted, so He made a way for us to stay. I know you have seen similar things like this in your life. If you haven't, I don't think it's because they aren't happening; I think it's because you aren't looking for them. God is working in every detail of our lives. If we want to see Him working in our lives more, all we need to do is open our eyes more and look for Him. www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

(Airdate: 3.2.26) Graham Norton spills that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce now have an actual wedding date on the calendar — and yes, his name is apparently already on the invite. Kylie Kelce admits she was "irked" over how Donna Kelce was set up on The Traitors, saying her mother-in-law deserved better backup in the turret. And Jim Carrey shows up at the César Awards in Paris looking so different that the internet immediately jumped to clone theories. Celebrity weddings, reality TV drama, and red-carpet conspiracy chatter — because of course that's what the internet decided to focus on today. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast!

In November 1958, Frank Duncan's pregnant wife, Olga Kupczyk, disappeared without a trace from their Santa Barbara home after enduring months of abusive treatment from her mother-in-law. A short time later, Frank's marriage was inexplicably annulled after his mother, posing as Olga, showed up at the local courthouse with a man she'd hired to pose as her son, Frank. One month later, in mid-December, investigators in the small coastal town of Carpinteria, California, were directed to the location of Olga's body in a shallow grave, after one of her killers confessed to kidnapping and murdering her the previous month. The arrest of Augustine Baldonado and his accomplice, Luis Moya, solved the mystery of what happened to Olga, but when it came to the motive for the murder, the truth was more shocking than anyone had expected.

If you've ever cared for someone with Alzheimer's—or loved someone who has—you know the quiet heartbreak of watching a person you cherish slowly fade, even while they are still physically present. It's a journey marked by grief, exhaustion, and a longing for strength that often feels just out of reach. In today's episode, storyteller Jennifer Roberts from our West Cobb community outside of Atlanta, Georgia, shares her experience of walking alongside her father-in-law as her mother-in-law battled Alzheimer's. With honesty and tenderness, Jennifer reflects on the weight of caregiving, the sorrow woven into the disease, and the unexpected ways God met her family in the middle of it all. Her story is a powerful reminder that when God calls us into a difficult season, He also equips us with perseverance, sustains us with His presence, and leads us forward with hope, joy, and strength. If you are a caregiver—or know someone who is—this is a story you won't want to miss, and one you'll want to share. VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: If you know someone who is caretaking for a loved one, reach out to them this week by sending an encouraging message, making a call to check in on them, or offering to be of some assistance. ________________________________________________ Listen to Jennifer Roberts' sisters' story from season 8- Ep. 300- Laurel Henson: "The Providence of God: A Story of Love After Loss."

Today, Dr. Alexandra and fellow psychologist, author, and podcast host Dr. Tracy Dalgleish are digging into a dynamic that is notoriously difficult to navigate - if, of course, all the stereotypes and jokes and rhetoric are to be totally believed. Except in this conversation, they're handling it with the compassion, nuance, and understanding that all relationships deserve. They are dissecting the dynamic between a woman, her husband and her mother-in-law, and the complexities often found in that triangle. Dr. Tracy's book You, Your Husband, and His Mother explores this dynamic in such an insightful way and her offerings guide this conversation. She provides tools to help you understand the dynamics at play and to shift those dynamics in the most effective way we can: namely, by seeing our own patterns in relation to others', meeting those patterns with compassion and understanding, and changing up our own dance moves. In this episode, you will learn: Why this dynamic can be so challenging, as well as the ways each vertice of the triangle might show up to shape the dynamic Strategies for prioritizing your relationship amidst family pressures Dr. Tracy's Six Types of Mothers-in-Law and Three Styles of daughters-in-law About Dr. Tracy's VAULT method, which is an acronym that breaks down the steps you can take with your partner to shake up the dynamics of this triangle Resources worth mentioning from the episode: You, Your Husband, and His Mother: Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Mother-in-Law--and Your Spouse--in Five Simple Steps by Dr. Tracy Dalgleish: https://bookshop.org/p/books/you-your-husband-and-his-mother-create-a-healthy-relationship-with-your-mother-in-law-and-your-spouse-in-five-simple-steps-dr-tracy-dalgleish/ff98565f5a7ef87a Follow Dr. Tracy D on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drtracyd/?hl=en Dr. Tracy D's podcast Dear Dr. Tracy: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dear-dr-tracy/id1452433255 Reimagining Love episode, Love, Acceptance, & Growth: The Insights We Glean from Couples Therapy with Dr. Tracy Dalgleish: https://www.dralexandrasolomon.com/podcasts/love-acceptance-growth-the-insights-we-glean-from-couples-therapy/ NYT article on Mankeeping that Dr. Tracy references: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/well/family/mankeeping-definition.html Continue the conversation with Dr. Alexandra Solomon: Ask a question!

We've all been there. Feeling stuck with a problem because no one in our life can relate. Or because the one person we need to talk to … won't. Or can't. Enter Yowei Shaw and the show Proxy. Proxy is built on a simple idea: no one is ever as alone with their problem as they think. So Yowei brings in a proxy, a perfect stranger, to help her guests work through their dilemma. Today we're sharing the case of Brian, a journalist whose mother-in-law has Alzheimer's. Even though Brian knows she can't help misremembering things, he can't stop losing his patience with her, and with himself.
