This week, we sit down with writer, producer, essayist and friend Lindzi Scharf (whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter no less!) Lindzi opens up about her journey through motherhood, grief, and joy. She shares the story of her daughter Evan, whose bright light continues to shape her family's world, and her son Reed, who carries that light forward. We talk about what it means to hold space for both heartbreak and happiness, the beautiful complexity of being a “medical mom,” and the lessons in presence that Evan left behind. From IVF and resilience to laughter and letting go of labels, Lindzi reminds us that people are not their diagnoses and that saying our children's names with love keeps them alive in the most powerful way.

In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Jonathon M. Seidl joins Carol McCracken to share his powerful story of recovery, identity, and hope from his book Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic. Jonathon opens up about the lies he believed, the role shame played in keeping him stuck, and how redefining alcoholism as a “misordered relationship” helped him name the problem honestly. He talks candidly about faith struggles and the importance of recognizing that while our mistakes describe us, they do not define us. Listeners will be encouraged by Jonathon’s reminder that freedom in Christ doesn’t mean perfection—it means learning to run to the One who redeems us, even in our weakest moments. Resource referenced: Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic: A Candid Conversation on Drinking, Addiction, and How to Break Free Discussion/Reflective Questions: Jonathon says, “our mistakes describe us, but they don’t define us.” How do you see that truth reflected in your own life story? He describes alcoholism as “a misordered relationship with alcohol.” What other misordered relationships—whether with food, work, approval, or something else—might we need to name honestly? Jonathon admitted that the only drink he could say no to was the first one. What does that statement reveal about the nature of temptation, and how can it apply to other struggles we face? How has shame kept you stuck at times, and what practical steps help you break free from its grip? Identity is a central theme in recovery. How have you learned—or how are you learning—to root your identity in Christ rather than in mistakes, achievements, or struggles? What is one action step God might be inviting you to take having listened to this episode?

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I are in the process of adopting a waiting child internationally. This is our first adoption and we will soon be waiting to be matched with a child. I teach in higher education and my schedule is coordinated about nine months out. I am working with my supervisors to try and make sure my schedule for the next year is flexible to account for uncertain adoption timing. It has been so difficult to try and navigate this with my job, especially because my institution has very limited options for paid parental leave. I'm wondering if you have any insight into how to discuss a few of my questions with my employer:How to manage unpredictable adoption timelines that may require mid-semester leave on minimal notice,Explaining the necessity of time off work to bond with our new child, without the physical recovery needs that traditional birth includes, and That while teaching online is an option, balancing teaching online with international travel and a critical bonding period is very daunting. If you have any insight into how to discuss these topics with my employer, or any additional details I should be considering, I would love to hear your thoughts. I should say that my supervisors are very supportive and excited for my family, and they are open to creative solutions. These are just uncharted waters at my institution.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores why sometimes not knowing can actually make you calmer, more focused, and more creative. Continuing the theme of counterintuitive brain science, she builds on previous Think Thursday episodes like The Paradox of Freedom, Novelty for Habit Change, and last week's Defensive Pessimism to show how Selective Ignorance helps protect the brain's limited capacity for attention, energy, and emotion.What You'll LearnWhy so many principles of neuroscience and psychology feel counterintuitive at firstHow your brain filters 11 million bits of information every second through the reticular activating systemWhy constant news, emails, and notifications drain your mental energyHow dopamine drives curiosity and why too much novelty burns it outWhat studies show about the benefits of “information fasting” and reduced mental inputPractical ways to practice Selective Ignorance to improve focus and reduce stressKey Quotes“The people who make meaningful change aren't the ones who know the most—they're the ones who filter the best.” — James Clear, Atomic Habits“Sometimes not knowing helps you know yourself better.” — Molly WattsPractical TakeawaysCurate your inputs. Follow fewer, higher-quality sources.Schedule mental quiet. Set “ignorance hours” for digital silence.Replace input with reflection. Journal, walk, or sit in quiet thought.Remember the enough threshold. Progress comes from applying what you already know, not learning more.Studies and Sources MentionedClear, J. (2018).

FRANKOPAN7.mp3 - The Age of Turbulence (1870–1920), Resource Extraction, and Global Migration Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The Age of Turbulence (1870–1920) involved rapid technological growth (telegraph, refrigerated shipping) and intense extractive empire building. Empires monetized resources like rubber, transplanted from the Amazon and causing massive deforestation in the Malay Peninsula. Global economic integration meant US grain could be shipped to London more cheaply than Irish grain. While historical focus is often Eurocentric, migration in the Indo-Pacific region (e.g., India to Southeast Asia) exceeded transatlantic migration, creating current geopolitical sensitivities. British infrastructure in India, such as railroads, aimed primarily at administrative efficiency. Furthermore, irrigation projects often failed, causing soil salinity due to rapid water evaporation in high temperatures. Scientific awareness of global warming predated the 1883 Krakatoa eruption.
