Podcasts about Our Lives

This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, we begin with the peanuts as Pope Leo has a message for White Sox fans, we'll discuss the Tigers and Cubs and who merit selection as All-stars, then we pivot to the popcorn for a lively discussion on two movies, the 1946 William Wyler classic, The Best Years of Our Lives, and the Mike Nichols "La Cage aux Folles" remake, Birdcage. Next Show's Films:Leo's Pick: Fitzcarraldo (1982)Tom's Pick:  After Dark, My Sweet (1990)

In this powerful message from Pastor Mark Rempel at 2911 Church, we dive into the early life of Moses to uncover how God brings purpose out of even the most chaotic beginnings. From being placed in a basket on the Nile to being raised in Pharaoh's palace, Moses' story is a reminder that no season is wasted when God is involved. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what's next, this sermon will encourage you to trust God's heart—even when you can't see His plan.#FindingPurpose #TrustGodInChaos #2911Church00:00 – Intro: Prince of Egypt & Youth Ministry  02:00 – Why Moses Still Matters Today  04:30 – Which Moses Are You?

What happens when you pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet in St. Faustina's backyard?  This week, Father Dave shares powerful moments from his recent pilgrimage to Poland—visiting sacred sites tied to St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Faustina, and St. John Paul II. From celebrating Mass at Kolbe's friary to walking through Auschwitz and Birkenau, it's a glimpse of God's mercy amid some of history's darkest places.  While Father Dave walked in the footsteps of saints, Deacon Bob found hopeful witness in the desert. He returns from the Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention in Arizona, where he gave a talk on “Radiant Hope” and reconnected with longtime friends in ministry. Together, the hosts reflect on the quiet, often unseen ways God raises up saints in every generation—even in the most unexpected places.  And yes, this episode still includes classic They That Hope moments: breakfast with Father Dave's brother Tom, a temporarily misplaced child on the New York subway, and a burning question: Why does the French Open have two names?    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Breakfast with Tom, Arizona Adventures, and Youth Ministry in the Desert  Deacon Bob recounts his recent trip to Arizona for the Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention where he reconnected with ministry leaders and gave a keynote on “Radiant Hope.” He also shares a surprise breakfast meet-up with Father Dave's brother, Tom (a loyal listener), some humorous travel woes, and the joy of being surrounded by those serving the Church's youth.  (04:08) Sports Recap: NBA, NHL, Tennis, and... Golf?  From unexpected NBA playoff upsets to a grueling five-set French Open final, Father Dave and Deacon Bob weigh in on recent sports headlines. They touch on the drama of playoff hockey, marvel at JJ Spaun's 62-foot putt, and clear up (sort of) why the French Open is also called Roland-Garros.  (09:01) Audiobook Adventures  Deacon Bob announces that his book Sharing the Gospel with Our Lives is getting the audiobook treatment—and he's narrating it himself. He shares the process (including a mysterious home studio in Columbus), while Father Dave recalls the heartbreak of being cut off with just 15 minutes left in a Navy SEAL memoir due to subscription limits.  (16:29) Pilgrimage to Poland: Kolbe, Faustina & Divine Mercy in Dark Places  Father Dave reflects on the deeply moving pilgrimage he led across Poland. Highlights include Mass at St. Maximilian Kolbe's friary visiting the birthplace of St. Faustina, and praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet in St. Faustina's backyard with her niece. He shares how the lives of these saints—and the sobering visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau—revealed the light of God even in history's darkest moments.  (23:02) Saints Amidst Suffering  As conflict rages in places like Gaza and Ukraine, the hosts reflect on how God raises up saints in every era. From the Missionaries of Charity caring for the vulnerable in war zones, to everyday youth ministers and celibate religious, they honor those whose quiet, faithful witness brings hope to the world.  (28:22) Radiant Hope in Service  Expanding on his convention talk, Deacon Bob shares how true Christian hope is made visible through acts of loving service. Drawing from Scripture and the Visitation of Mary, he explains how hope, though unseen, shines clearly in those who serve joyfully and sacrificially.    Resources Mentioned  ·                     Sharing the Gospel with Our Lives: A Relational Approach to Catholic Youth Ministry by Deacon Bob Rice  ·                     LifeTeen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention  ·                     In Person with Bishop Cozzens on Faith&Reason  ·                     Hoopla streaming app  ·                     Franciscan Catechetical Institute  ·                     Divine Mercy Shrine in Kraków, Poland  ·                     Niepokalanów, St. Maximilian Kolbe's Friary  ·                     Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum  ·                     How to Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet 

What does it take to reinvent ourselves when life throws curveballs we never saw coming? How do we rise from the ashes of disappointment, disruption, or even devastation — not just to survive, but to thrive with renewed purpose? In a world where uncertainty is the only constant, the art of negotiating resilience becomes not just a personal tool, but a necessary skill for meaningful reinvention. It's not just about bouncing back — it's about bouncing forward, stronger and more aligned than ever. Today's conversation invites us to consider how we can rewrite our narratives, reclaim our power, and reimagine our futures. In this episode, your host, Cindy Watson will dive diving into a powerful and deeply relevant topic — Negotiating Resilience and Reinvention in Our Lives. Cindy will be joined by the extraordinary Christian Ray Flores. Christian is an entrepreneur, high-performance coach, evangelist, and philanthropist whose global journey is as inspiring as it is transformative. From fleeing Chile as a refugee in his youth, to becoming a celebrated international pop artist, to now mentoring leaders across the business and nonprofit world — his life is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and purpose-driven success. With a master's degree in economics, fluency in four languages, and a wealth of experiences spanning continents and cultures, Christian brings a unique and compelling perspective to navigating life's toughest challenges. He co-founded Third Drive Media, producing award-winning content and raising millions for startups and missions alike. He's also the heart behind Xponential, a coaching program helping leaders perform at their peak while staying aligned with their deeper values. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to negotiate with ourselves — to reinvent, adapt, and rise with intention and impact. You won't want to miss the insights Christian shares from a life lived boldly and with purpose. In this episode, we will uncover: The secrets of wholistic success What is good fuel and bad fuel How to distill and purify good fuel and bad fuel How to look for the good and bad fuel in your life and how to use it to propel yourself to a healthier ways How to go from bad fuel to good fuel The role creativity plays in negotiation And many more!

May 20th, 2025:  Can A Good Protestant Go to Heaven?; The Post-Christian Culture; Making Room for God in Our Lives

In this episode, we conclude our conversation on life transitions with Michelle's husband, Chris Benzinger. We focus on the second and third steps in walking through transitions: releasing with trust and redeeming with hope. We talk about God wanting to redeem our past, the need to let go of the ways we've failed, and how God wants to do something new in the future. We also reflect on the importance of ceremony to conclude a season, the four responses to a loss, and why we should share our hopes for the future with God.   Heather's One Thing - Return to the Heart: The Biblical Spirituality of St. Augustine's Confessions by Dr. Shane Owens Sister Miriam's One Thing -  Mediterranean Chicken Bowls Michelle's One Thing - Belovedness: Overcoming Your Inner Critic - A Lyrical Devotional by Sarah Kroger Chris' One Thing - Running a 5k with his daughter Lilly    Journal Questions: What was good about the previous season of my life? Am I grieving or still carrying hurts?  What is God specifically asking me to release from this past season?  In this next season of my life, what is one thing God is making new? What is one hope I have for this next season of my life?   Creative Prompt: Take a bookmark and decorate it with your hopes for the next season and place it in your Bible. It will serve as a reminder in the next chapter of your life.   Discussion Questions: Reflect back upon the past few years and choose one big or small transition in your life.  What is one thing you are grateful for in the past season of your life? What is God calling you to release with trust from that past season? As you look to this current season, what action can you take to ceremonialize the end of an old season and create the foundation for a new season? Are you able to name what you desire? Why or why not? How are you responding to loss in your current season of life? What is something new God is doing in the current season of your life?   Quote to Ponder: “Remember not the events of the past, the things of long ago consider not. See I am doing something new. Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:18)   Scripture for Lectio: “But now thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and formed you O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; and you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)   Sponsor - Karol Coffee Co.: This week's sponsor is more than just a coffee company. Karol Coffee Co. was inspired by the life and work of one of the most beloved saints of the modern era: Karol Wojtyła, better known to the world as Pope St. John Paul II. His life was a testimony to courage, joy, and cultivating beauty that draws souls into union with Jesus and one other. From his days as a young priest in Nazi-occupied Poland to his years leading the global Church, St. John Paul II consistently called people to embrace truth, goodness, and beauty in every aspect of their lives. Karol Coffee Co. seeks to carry on that mission in a small but meaningful way — by bringing community, love, and joy into the heart of our everyday routines through coffee. Founded by Nate and Megan Whipple, a faithful Catholic couple rooted in mission, Karol Coffee Co. began humbly in 2022 as a simple garage-based roasting operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What started as a passion project quickly became something greater, thanks to the encouragement and support of fellow Catholics and coffee enthusiasts. In just a short time, their venture has grown into a thriving small business that now serves customers all over the country. In an age when many of our purchases inadvertently support massive corporations with values often at odds with our own, supporting small, Catholic-owned businesses has never been more important. Karol Coffee Co. offers an alternative: ethically-sourced, traceable coffees roasted with care and intention. Each batch is crafted not only for flavor but with the desire to honor the dignity of those who cultivate the beans and to support communities around the world. Their rotating coffee offerings include a range of carefully selected beans from notable coffee-growing regions with flavor profiles to suit a variety of preferences. Karol Coffee Co. makes it easier to keep your kitchen stocked with beans through bi-weekly or monthly subscription options. Fresh, delicious coffee delivered right to your door — no last-minute grocery runs or chain coffee stops required. But beyond the coffee itself, what makes Karol Coffee Co. truly remarkable is the heart behind it. Nate and Megan have built their business around community and mission. It's about more than just selling beans; it's about creating opportunities for people to encounter beauty, truth, and goodness in the midst of their everyday lives, and to share that with the people around them. They have a passion for creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds and walks of life to experience connection and unity through the shared love of coffee and beauty. We'd love for you to get to know them and become part of their growing community. You can visit their website at www.karolcoffeeco.com to explore their current offerings, sign up for a subscription, or learn more about the mission behind the brand.

Living Through the Aftershock: COVID-19's Lasting Impact on Our Lives and Leadership In this deep and wide-ranging conversation, Amrita Subramanian and Michael D. Levitt explore the profound and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic—not just on health systems, but on our humanity, leadership, and everyday decisions. Reckoning With Collective Trauma The episode opens with a candid reflection on how society continues to carry the emotional residue of the pandemic. Amrita underscores the importance of acknowledging that crisis is not an interruption—it's a constant. Michael builds on this by noting how many individuals still carry unprocessed trauma, often triggered by subtle reminders from the pandemic era. Leaders, he argues, must create space for that healing, not push people to simply “move on.” Mortality, Reflection, and Missed Opportunities Amrita shares that COVID-19 accelerated deeper societal trends and forced a confrontation with mortality. Michael adds that the pandemic was a moment when the world could have come together—yet instead, we saw fragmentation. Together, they challenge listeners to reflect on whether we're growing from the crisis—or avoiding it. Growth Through Adversity Both hosts explore how some individuals used the pandemic as a springboard for transformation. Amrita calls these people "magnets"—those who attract possibility through growth and reflection. Michael discusses how our choices ripple outward, affecting teams, families, and communities, and urges leaders to lean into thoughtful, values-based decision-making. Making Peace With Chaos In a thought-provoking segment, Amrita reframes chaos—not as disorder, but as the natural state when clarity and consensus are missing. Michael and Amrita discuss the necessity of continuous learning and the paradox of a generation navigating both truth and noise. The takeaway? We're standing at a crossroads that could lead to either a new renaissance—or a descent into disconnection. Humility and Leadership in Uncertain Times Amrita calls for a return to humility, especially in leadership. She advocates for an unlearning of rigid systems and encourages empathy-based decision-making. Michael echoes this, pointing to the dangers of ego in crisis and the importance of making choices grounded in service and self-awareness. Decisions That Shape the Future Michael shares strategies for making clear-headed decisions amid chaos—removing emotion from the process and using systems like checklists to stay aligned. Amrita offers a counterbalance: the role of curiosity and inner wisdom in guiding leaders toward choices that benefit the greater good. Together, they highlight the legacy we're leaving for the next generation—a chance to lead with civility, courage, and care. Living Fully, Leading Wisely The episode closes with reflections on what it means to live a fulfilling life. Amrita encourages gentle self-examination, while Michael reminds us that leadership starts with personal responsibility—and a commitment to making choices that serve not just ourselves, but those around us.   Amrita is a former Fortune 500 VP who has devoted 22+ years of her career to helping organizations thrive amid crises.   She is also a trailblazer in post-disruptive growth as a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania and a guest lecturer at Wharton. She has almost completed her Ph.D. on post-traumatic growth in adults through COVID-19.   As the world faced the first collective trauma/crisis disruption in modern-day history, the COVID pandemic, Amrita launched a first-of-its-kind study to explore how pain leads to growth and analyze our ability to heal ourselves during an unparalleled crisis.   Her work is dedicated to providing education and practical solutions for individuals and communities worldwide. Her lessons draw from the evidence-based practices of everyday people who have shown heartfelt humility and wisdom in the face of crisis and devastation.   The research study has amassed global participation, and she is convinced that it will show the pandemic strengthened us and renewed our sense of identity, purpose, and community.   Amrita knows well that there is growth from trauma based on what she's endured in her own life.   At the age of five, she was abandoned in a convent. The trauma and abuse she endured throughout that time resulted in selective mutism until she was 11 years old, among other things.   Amrita is now using her voice to help guide humanity and speak out about the many facets of pain and what good could come from them.   On the podcast, she would love to talk about: What happens to the future and nature of work (employees, employers, departments, engagement, stress, fatigue, etc.) following the collective trauma we all walked through? What is the nature of post-disruptive/post-crisis leadership? Who do we need to be to lead ourselves to the next edge of growth and harmony, given crises are only now going to be constant (economic or ecological)? The pandemic is still largely under-processed, and folks do not seem to be making denial a choice. People seem to be hungry to process what they experienced. This article explains why we need to talk about and process pain and how pain can also lead to growth. To get a sense of Amrita, here's an episode she did recently on The Trauma Therapist Podcast, where she talked about how her life has been shaped by continuous growth from trauma.

Pastor Levi, Pastor Travis, and Lisa talk about how how Israel turned to God in desperation but didn't quit idolatry, from 1 Samuel 4-7, including Israel Brings Ark of the Covenant into Battle and Loses It, Samuel tells Israel to Rid Themselves of Foreign Gods and Serve Only God, and What Are The Idols in Our Lives.

In this episode, Chris Benzinger joins us to discuss navigating big and small life transitions. We have all probably found ourselves on the other end of a transition feeling unfulfilled or confused. Chris takes us through a reflection of Joshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan and relates it to change in our lives. We talk about why it can be difficult to move on from blessings of the past and how remembering with gratitude is the first step in walking through transitions. We also discuss the practice of taking memorial stones with us to remember the Lord's blessings, giving thanks in all circumstances, and growing a lens of gratitude. Join us for part two next week!   Heather's One Thing - Festival of Praise at Franciscan University Sister Miriam's One Thing - Sacramental transitions Michelle's One Thing - Chris! Chris' One Thing - Michelle :)   Journal Questions: What transitions am I currently going through? How have I experienced transition in the past? What do I need to remember with gratitude? What truth is the Lord speaking to me in my current circumstances?   Discussion Questions: What are you most grateful for in your recent transitions in life? What did the Father show you about His character in the previous season? What are the greatest fears you experience when facing transition? How will you allow space in your heart as you experience changes in your season of life? How can you embrace both the grief of what has ended and the joy of the new adventure in your transition?   Quote to Ponder: “And the Lord said to Joshua, “Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony to come up out of the Jordan.” Joshua therefore commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.” And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.” (Josua 4:15-18)   Scripture for Lectio: “Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)   Sponsor - Our Holy Home: We're so grateful to partner this season with Our Holy Home — a Catholic brand that's on a mission to fill homes with beauty, subtle reminders of faith, and a deep sense of peace in the everyday.

Join us for a gorgeous conversation with writer and passionate cold water swimmer Sara Barnes.     Over the past decade, Sara's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. From barely being able to walk in her fifties to reclaiming an active, outdoor life amidst the stunning landscapes of the Lake District, she's navigated major surgeries, embarked on solo campervan adventures through Scotland, and published not one but two compelling books: The Cold Fix and her debut novel, The Winter of Our Lives.     In this episode, Sara shares her transformative story of resilience, discovery, and connection. Discover how cold water swimming became a powerful tool for overcoming anxiety and reconnecting with nature—and yourself. She reveals creative ways to get your own "Cold Fix," the importance of community, and how immersing in nature can shift your perspective on aging, confidence, and what's possible.     Sara also discusses her solo adventures, including a campervan journey that taught her invaluable lessons about adapting, slowing down, and embracing the present. Plus, she explores her dream of moving to France and how health scares helped her realize what truly matters—less stuff, more experience, and the freedom of just being.     Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or curious about taking the plunge for the first time, Sara's insights will inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, reconnect with nature, and discover your own limits and capabilities.   You can find Sara and her beautiful images of wild swimming at https://www.instagram.com/bumblebarnes/?hl=en Sara's books: The Cold Fix (Vertebrate Adventure Books, 2022) The Winter of Our Lives (HarperCollins, 2023)  (and for the interview with Siobhan Daniels I mention in this episode, check out: https://middlingalong.com/episodes/middling-along-13-siobhan-daniels-on-the-retirement-rebellion-and-her-solo-vanlife-travels-around-the-uk/)  If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

From the cradle to the cane, muscles are the invisible engine behind everything we do. They shape our health, our identity, and our independence and yet we take them for granted says author, journalist and contributing editor to Vanity Fair, Michael Joseph Gross. His new book weaves together science, history, and personal stories to show that muscle strength is about far more than appearance, it's the foundation of how we live, move, and endure. The book is called Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.When people are difficult, Jesus doesn't tell us to avoid them. He calls us to engage with wisdom, grace, and courage. In Matthew 7, we're called to judge without a judgmental heart, pray when we feel stuck, and then act, even when no clear answer comes.And we're not just called to treat others fairly, but to treat them as we would want to be treated when we fall short. Thisisn't passive kindness; it's relentless love. The kind that pursues, initiates, and reflects the heart of God Himself. Who's God calling you to love like that this week?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 4, 2025, at 9:30am.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was a huge game show that started in 1998, and then it became a global phenomenon by around 2005. Soooo .... it isn't surprising that a film that was made based on that show. But no one could have imagined the huge success this small film that had a hard time getting any funding to be made, about that game show in India, and was directed by a white British filmmaker. Slumdog Millionaire is more than just a film about a game show. It's about poverty, class and culture wars,  love and destiny. It was a huge winner at the Academy Awards that year, but does this surprise blockbuster still hold up so many years later? Did it, in retrospect, deserve to win the Oscar for Best Picture?Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Best Years of Our Lives, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1946.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching  Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHeart RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, BlueSkyShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messanger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.com or jackferdman@gmail.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Send us a text

Why do airplanes have ashtrays if smoking is prohibited? Could someone open the airplane door in mid-flight? What are the green and red flashing lights on the plane for? These are some of the common questions about air travel that I answer to start this episode. https://www.smartmeetings.com/tips-tools/103099/answers-random-airplane-questions Are you the kind of person who likes to explore and try something new or are you more likely to stick to the tried and true and do what you did before? Of course, it depends on the situation, but it seems some people, for example, like to order the same thing off the menu time and time again while others order something different every time. Some people like to go back to the same place for vacation while others prefer to visit somewhere they've never been before. Why is that? Here to discuss this interesting quirk of human nature is Alex Hutchinson. He is a columnist for Outside magazine and has contributed to the New York Times, The New Yorker and other publications. He is author of the book The Explorer's Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map (https://amzn.to/3XRGYQa). All exercise is good but strength training in particular has some wonderful benefits you may not be aware of. Those benefits include weight control, improved mental health, fighting cancer and more. Strength training is simply lifting weights that strengthen your muscles and it can help anyone at any age. Here to explain the benefits and explain how to do it is Michael Joseph Gross. He is a longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor who has published investigative reports, essays, and books about culture, technology, and business and he is author of the book, Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives (https://amzn.to/4ib4sHc).

He emphasizes the uniqueness of Jesus' resurrection, highlighting that it was predicted, that He rose never to die again, and that it declares Him as the Son of God.

We take our muscles for granted: every time we step or stand—or even fall asleep!—we are experiencing a complex system of muscles moving in concert. And yet our notion of strength is still bogged down in stereotypes and preconceptions, some of them holdovers from 2,000 years ago. In our Spring 2025 issue, Michael Joseph Gross wrote about how the ancient Greeks perceived strength—and muscles themselves—in an entirely different way than we do. This week, Gross joins us to talk about his new book, Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives, which looks at weight training through historical, social, and medical lenses to show its transformative power over time. His guides are leading scholars in the intersecting fields of kinesiology, classics, gender studies, and medicine, whose work has been shifting the narrative about strength for more than half a century.Go beyond the episode:Michael Joseph Gross's Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our LivesRead an excerpt, “Mr. Olympia,” from our Spring 2025 IssueExplore the Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports at the University of Texas at AustinTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Interview with a Debut Author  This January, we spoke with the author of Dear Miss Perkins: A Story of Frances Perkins's Efforts to Aid Refugees from Nazi Germany. Released on January 21, 2025, this new book is a fascinating portrait of the progressive female trailblazer and US Secretary for Labor who navigated the foreboding rise of Nazism in her battle to make America a safer place for refugees. As Hitler rose to power, thousands of German-Jewish refugees and their loved ones reached out to the Immigration and Naturalization Service—then part of the Department of Labor—applying for immigration to the United States, writing letters that began “Dear Miss Perkins . . .” This outstanding, inspiring new narrative of the first woman to serve in a president's cabinet reveals the full, never-before-told story of her role in saving Jewish refugees during the Nazi regime. As Secretary of Labor, she wrestled widespread antisemitism and isolationism, finding creative ways to work around quotas and restrictive immigration laws. Diligent, resilient, empathetic, yet steadfast, she persisted on behalf of the desperate when others refused to act.

A few years ago, in his talk "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives," President Nelson asked this question that we've all probably yearned to know the answer: "How do we become the men and women, the Christlike servants that the Lord needs us to be? How can we find answers to the questions that perplex us?" And his prescription to this soul-deep question: personal revelation. He said, "The heavens are open and God speaks to his children." Today's conversation is all about understanding personal revelation and how we can develop a relationship with God where we can draw on his power. Janiece Johnson joins this conversation to discuss the doctrines of revelation found in the Doctrine and Covenants. Janiece is a church historian, an acquisition director at Deseret Book, and her new book Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants: Revelation lends itself to today's topic.   Follow us on Instagram!
