"Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Mind your own business and earn your own living..." — 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 (ERV) What if the greatest sermon you ever preach isn't with your words—but with the way you live? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jen for an honest conversation about living a faith that's visible long before we ever mention we're a Christian. Together, they unpack Paul's encouragement to live peaceful, faithful, and responsible lives that point others to Jesus. They explore why integrity matters, how our everyday actions shape people's perception of God, and why following Jesus is about so much more than what we believe privately—it's about how we live publicly. Jen also shares how she tries to reflect Jesus through the ordinary moments of motherhood, work, and life's challenges, choosing to live with hope even when circumstances are difficult. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that faith isn't about having all the right words—it's about consistently living in a way that reflects the heart of Christ. This episode encourages us to consider the witness of our everyday lives. The way we speak, the way we treat people, the way we respond in difficult seasons, and the choices we make all have the opportunity to reveal God's love to the world around us. If you've ever wondered how to live out your faith in a practical way, or how to represent Jesus well in your workplace, family, friendships, and online, this conversation will inspire you to pursue a life of integrity, peace, and wholehearted devotion to God.

John Dickerson interviews Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Drawing on extensive reporting from inside the White House, they explore how Trump's second term differs radically from his first, from his decision-making process to the people surrounding him and his relationship with power, money, and the presidency itself. Unlike his first term, when he felt under siege, Trump now operates from absolute confidence. He's surrounded by loyalists and flatterers, getting information through a curated ecosystem that includes Fox News, Truth Social, and aides like Natalie Harp ("the human printer") who fetch him what he asks for, regardless of its accuracy. His decision-making is reactive and gut-driven, shaped by what people want to tell him. Meanwhile, his family and inner circle are making unprecedented wealth from the presidency, and Trump himself, who equates money with intelligence, is richer than ever. With Supreme Court immunity, total command over his party, incomparable wealth, and an administration of unequivocal supporters, Trump appears completely in his element: free to exercise power exactly as he wishes, being praised constantly, and getting richer by the day.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.

Al, John Luke, Christian, and Zach consider how social media can distort people's words, fuel misinformation, and make respectful disagreement harder. “Unashamed” opens the door to a more personal conversation with some of the show's louder online critics. The guys contrast religions built around appeasing angry gods with the God of Scripture, who provides the sacrifice and pours out grace on his people. In this episode: Revelation 12:11; Isaiah 64:4; Isaiah 8; Acts 17:25; 2 Samuel 7; John 14:6; Galatians 3:16-17, 22, 26-29; Hebrews; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Genesis 1:26; 1 John 4:8, 10. Today's conversation is about Lesson 2 of Theology 101: The Western Theological Tradition taught by various Hillsdale Professors. Take the course with us at no cost to you! More about Theology 101: Examine the great questions of Western theology from the ancient Hebrews through today. The gift of speech, or reason, given by God to man, enables us to think about God and to worship Him.

Lauren Castillo's Our Friend the Hedgehog: School for Woodland Creatures is a charming new installment in her acclaimed woodland series, following Hedgehog and her friends as they create their own school and discover that everyone has unique gifts to share. Through cozy storytelling and beautiful illustrations, the book celebrates self-discovery, kindness, friendship, and the idea that being a teacher or leader is about helping others, not being a perfect expert.Peter Laufer's We Are All Americans is a powerful oral history that brings together interviews conducted in 2001, 2011, and 2021 to explore how Americans' perspectives, identities, and sense of unity evolved in the two decades following the September 11 attacks. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Laufer offers a unique long-term view of the tragedy's lasting impact on American society through the voices of people across the country.

“Send Coach John a message”I found something that I needed - it comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it's from James Clear on the antidote to anxiety: “Working on a problem reduces fear of it. It's hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it - even if the progress is imperfect and slow. Action relieves anxiety.” This directly ties into something that I learned a long time ago from the awesome book “The Magic of Thinking Big” (but I still am trying to improve on), that Action Cures Fear! Imperfect action towards accomplishing something is still WAY BETTER than no action at all. Even if we are taking steps backwards, we are still learning. I'm finding a ton of “advice” lately that I certainly need to pay attention to. It's amazing the number of clues that are out there for all of us. When I think about it, there is no possible way that we will ever run out of these clues. Thanks for listening.

Picture a twenty-something widow in Paris, a sick one-year-old on her hip, and an attic full of paintings nobody wants—not galleries, not critics, not even her own family.That widow was Jo van Gogh, and the paintings belonged to her late husband's brother, a mostly forgotten failure named Vincent. What she did next didn't just save a legacy. It invented one. Bestselling author Jo Piazza tells her story in The Parisian Heist, and by the end of this episode, you may never look at a Van Gogh—or a woman rebuilding her life from nothing—the same way again.The Parisian Heist moves between two timelines that mirror each other in surprising ways. In the past, we watch Jo van Gogh turn grief and financial desperation into a masterclass in reinvention—she becomes an art dealer, manipulates the market, and manufactures the myth of the "tortured genius" we still associate with Vincent today.In a second timeline set in 1996, three broke art students get pulled into a heist against a corrupt, billionaire art-dealing family, guided by a widow with her own scores to settle. Piazza calls it a "delicious beach read," but underneath the spice—and yes, there's a very spicy memorable scene in the Louvre — sit real questions about who gets to be called an artist, who gets the credit, and what a woman is capable of when she has nothing left to lose.Piazza didn't just research Jo van Gogh's story — she recognized it. As a journalist-turned-novelist raising three kids, she's candid about the balls she drops daily, the deadlines she meets with help from what she calls "an army of babysitters," and a marriage where, in her words, she "married her glass ceiling."That honesty is exactly why this book lands the way it does: it isn't really about Impressionist art. It's about what a woman builds when the life she expected falls apart, and about the quiet, radical decision to keep going anyway.For anyone standing in their own version of that attic — starting over after loss, after motherhood rearranges everything, after the version of life they planned stops making sense — Jo van Gogh's story, and Jo Piazza's telling of it, is proof that reinvention isn't just possible. It's often where the real story begins.Go pick up a copy of The Parisian Heist by Jo Piazza HERE!

Attend the Circle with Sarah Online Retreat on August 7-8, and Sarah will help you become the peace-filled, joyful mom you're called to be.Here at the Read-Aloud Revival, we've been asked more times than I can count to create virtue-based book lists. And I always say no.Today, our Creative Director (and my eldest daughter) Audrey is back with me to talk about why we don't make lists of books that specifically set out to teach kids about kindness, honesty, or other virtues. The reality is, all good books have a powerful capacity to inspire us towards virtue, and the ones that are the most effective are the ones that don't set out to teach. They just set out to tell a good story. Good stories, by their nature, form us in virtue.We're going to talk about what makes a story formational, and of course, share some of our favorite books that have been formative in our family.In this episode, you'll hear: Why learning virtue doesn't need a lesson plan or bullet points, and can even be delightfulHow stories invite us into the experiences of others, with all their human strengths and weaknessesThe guiding question behind every book recommendation we make at RARLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/books-forming-virtue

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker dive into the strange, funny, and surprisingly revealing world of Amazon reviews, Google reviews, star ratings, customer service, local businesses, and online reputation. The conversation starts with a serious question: if someone offers you lemonade and brings you pink lemonade, is that acceptable? From there, JJ explains why he has three giant jugs of pink lemonade from Costco, which somehow leads directly into a deep discussion about why people leave online reviews, whether Amazon reviews can be trusted, how useful verified purchaser tags are, and why negative reviews often feel more helpful than positive ones. JJ then reads several of his own Amazon reviews, including his thoughts on Amazon Basics eucalyptus Epsom salt, Adidas Moves body fragrance, and a frustrating Shop-Vac micro cleaning nozzle kit that did not include the adapter he needed. Tucker, inspired by the process, writes his first Amazon review live during the episode for a wedge pillow for acid reflux, sleep apnea, and back pain relief. The episode then moves into JJ's Google review history, including one-star customer service experiences with SaveCoin, a carpet cleaning company, and a UPS Store passport photo situation, plus five-star praise for Everest Tikka House, Hornbacher's, Sherwin-Williams, Prime Cut Meats, Red River Animal Emergency Hospital, and Les Schwab Tire Center.

Cooper and Jared Maxwell, and I discuss the excitement—and occasional frustrations—of scheduling author interviews.I also review Paranormal Activity 2, revisit the unforgettable French horror film Martyrs, provide an update on the upcoming Daily Page project, and finish with some thoughts on AI—how it helped solve a frustrating audio problem, why I think it's here to stay, and why the real question is how we choose to use it.Finally, I'd love to hear from you: What's the longest fantasy series you've ever finished? Send in a SpeakPipe message, and you might be featured in next week's update!https://www.speakpipe.com/PageChewing

Emily Bazelon interviews Senator Chris Murphy about his new book Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy argues that Trump is not the root cause of America's political crisis—he's a symptom. The real diagnosis: a country ravaged by loneliness, disconnection, and the collapse of community. From gun violence to Jan. 6, Murphy traces our troubles back to a spiritual unspooling, a loss of meaning and purpose. But his book offers solutions. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.Murphy makes the case that fixing America's spiritual crisis is not just morally necessary—it's the only way Democrats win. Winning by being against Trump is not enough. Democrats must offer a proactive vision of an America where people feel powerful in their economy, connected to their communities, and called to something greater than themselves. The book isn't about policy prescriptions, but rather a fundamental reimagining of what Americans want from their government and from each other.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.
