Catherine came in determined to have "no chunksters" this fall … only to discover that 2 of her picks are actually over 500 pages. Catherine's theme for fall is "intrigue" — the verb, not the noun — with picks she can't wait to see unfold. Sarah's list includes one actual chunkster, several books that fit into her recent Micro Genres, and 3 debuts. Stick around to the end to hear their #1 picks for fall!

The way out of avoidance is not more willpower - it's waking up to what you're really running from. Tim Holloway and Josh Price expose how sleep, sorrow, and spiritual numbness can look like discipline, devotion, or "being busy," while quietly keeping you stuck. Tim opens with the questions most men avoid answering: the hard conversation you're postponing, the work you're hiding in, the promises you've broken to yourself, and the grief you're numbing instead of facing. Josh takes it further with a sharp framework for spotting avoidance in real time, from aloof withdrawal to the interrogator mode that attacks ideas to protect beliefs.

Today, we have a conversation about time, memory, and the bittersweet geography of human sorrow. Georgi Gospodinovis widely considered one of the most daring voices in contemporary European literature. His acclaimed novel, The Physics of Sorrow, won the prestigious Jan Michalski Prize in 2016, blending ancient myth and quantum physics to chronicle the delicate realities of post-socialist Eastern Europe. Joining him is Angela Rodel, a brilliant linguist, musician, and translator whose profound artistic empathy carries the flowing cadences of the Bulgarian language into vivid English. Together, this extraordinary creative duo made history by winning the 2023 International Booker Prizefor Time Shelter—the first book written in Bulgarian to ever receive the honor.Time Shelter is a masterfully dark, funny, and prescient novel. It begins with an enigmatic psychiatrist opening a clinic that treats Alzheimer's patients by meticulously recreating past decades to match their internal clocks. But the experiment quickly escapes the clinic walls, triggering a pan-European crisis where entire nations hold democratic referendums to choose which era of the past they will retreat into. It is a book that holds up a mirror to our own world, exploring what happens when a civilization faces a deficit of meaning and tries to weaponize nostalgia.(0:00) The Trap of Nostalgia(1:22) The Nonlinear Approach to Storytelling(3:53) Translating the Atmosphere(4:31) The Pandemic of the Past(6:37) Death and the Gardener(9:49) The Translators Calling(11:00) Slowing Down Time(13:14) Storytelling vs Propaganda(15:54) Translating the Atmosphere(18:19) What makes a good life?

What if grief has been present in more of our lives than we realized?This Sound Bite was inspired by my recent conversation with somatic nurse coach Lisa Ketcham-Hendrickson, who reminded us:“We can't heal what we don't feel.”That conversation brought me back to Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow and his five gates of grief—a framework that expanded my understanding of what grief can be.Questions to ConsideLike many of us, I thought I understood grief. We lose someone we love. A relationship ends. Something precious is gone.But what about the parts of ourselves that haven't felt loved or welcomed?The suffering we witness in the world?A friendship or love that wasn't reciprocated?The future we imagined but never lived?An achievement we expected of ourselves but never reached?Or grief that may have traveled through our families for generations?Mentioned in This Sound BiteIt was Weller's exploration of ancestral grief that especially stopped me.I grew up in a family where loss was something we stuffed down. We didn't talk about it, and we certainly didn't spend much time feeling it.Understanding that grief can move through a lineage gave me a new way of looking at what we may carry—and the possibility that not everything we feel necessarily began with us.In this Sound Bite, we explore Weller's five gates of grief, the relationship between grief and aliveness, why grief can challenge our ideas about strength and emotional control, and the importance of allowing grief to be witnessed in community.Because maybe recognizing grief isn't about becoming sadder.Maybe it's part of becoming more fully alive.What might you be grieving that you've never given yourself permission to call grief?And who might you allow to witness it with you?Maybe we don't have to solve it.Maybe we begin by noticing it. Naming it. Sharing it.With compassionate curiosity.Lisa Ketcham-Hendrickson — Episode 315We Can't Heal What We Don't Feel: Coming Home to OurselvesLisa is a somatic nurse coach and founder of Human Recovery. Our conversation about grief, healing, nervous-system regulation, community, and coming home to ourselves inspired this reflection.Francis Weller — The Wild Edge of SorrowWeller's exploration of the five gates of grief helped me see grief not simply as a response to death, but as something that can touch belonging, expectations, the suffering around us, our ancestry, and many other parts of being human.Community Shout-Out: Drew TurnerI also want to give a shout-out to past Girl, Take the Lead! guest Drew Turner from Episode 201.Drew is a Women's Leadership Coach who works with women who have done everything “right” and still feel like they have something to prove—helping them begin to trust themselves again.On September 2, Drew is offering a free one-hour Zoom workshop:How to Stop ProvingShe's keeping the workshop small—just 30 women—and it may especially resonate if you're someone who:Is quick to help and support everyone elseFeels exhausted but rarely slows downStruggles to ask for help, even from people close to youKnows something needs to change but can't quite name whatIf you recognize yourself—or someone you care about—in that description, you can save your seat here:drewturnercoaching.com/proveittwiceAnd you can find my conversation with Drew in Episode 201 of Girl, Take the Lead!Connect With Girl, Take the Lead!

The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. [NKJV]

Fr. Mike focuses on the prophet Jeremiah's continued sorrow and explains how lying prophets bring forth destruction. He invites us to examine what lies in our lives are bringing destruction. We also continue reading about Ezekiel's vision, and see the glory of the Lord return to the temple. Today's readings are Jeremiah 14-15, Ezekiel 43-44, and Proverbs 15:13-16.

Jesus told his disciples that in a little while they would not see him, but in a little while they would see him again. The disciples were confused about what Jesus meant, because they did not have the Holy Spirit to guide them in truth. So, Jesus gave them a parable to help them understand what would happen after the resurrection of Jesus. Because Jesus is alive, our sorrow is turned into joy. Verses: John 16: 12, John 16: 13-24, John 14: 1-4 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Fr. Mike reflects on Jeremiah's sorrow for the people of Israel while reminding us that the one thing we ought to find glory in, is in understanding and knowing God. In our reading of Ezekiel, we hear about God's ongoing promise to restore Israel. Today's readings are Jeremiah 9, Ezekiel 39, and Proverbs 15:1-4.

Today, we’re joined by Coby and Cory Cotton of Dude Perfect, who share how a simple idea filmed in a backyard with friends grew into videos watched by millions around the world on YouTube. They reflect on the early days of creating trick shots just for fun, the challenges that came with unexpected success, and a medical emergency that reminded them to slow down and make room for what matters most. Next, we hear from author and grief counselor Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, who shares how losing her golden retriever, Bailey, opened her eyes to the depths of pet grief, the memories that remain, and the love we carry after saying goodbye.

So many people have been so hurt by other people. How kind of God to sprinkle ambassadors of His grace all across this planet in the form of animals. God is constantly pointing us to animals throughout Scripture, encouraging us to look to the eagle, to look to the lion who He feeds, to look to the ant who’s busy at work.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “Animals are the ones that we can be 100% ourselves with. They show up for us on the good days and the bad days and are as impressed by us when we feel like we have it all together and when we’ve just fallen on our face. I really do think it is a beautiful picture of God’s love and His feelings toward us that we don’t have to try to clean ourselves up to come to Him. He just loves us as we are and just desires for us to be present with Him.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “I discovered firsthand that God is not afraid of our questions and that He will hold us through them.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “I think it’s vitally important for us, especially as believers, to honor the grief that people feel when they’ve lost a pet. It is such a kindness and a gift to hold space for someone who is grieving, to be a compassionate witness and just say, ‘I see you and I’m going to stay here with you in the hurt and in the heavy.’” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “Invite people to invite us into their pain and then to weep with them, to stand with them in that pain, to sit with them, and then gently start to walk with them toward the light of healing.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Literature tells personal stories.”Today, we have a conversation about time, memory, and the bittersweet geography of human sorrow. Georgi Gospodinovis widely considered one of the most daring voices in contemporary European literature. His acclaimed novel, The Physics of Sorrow, won the prestigious Jan Michalski Prize in 2016, blending ancient myth and quantum physics to chronicle the delicate realities of post-socialist Eastern Europe. Joining him is Angela Rodel, a brilliant linguist, musician, and translator whose profound artistic empathy carries the flowing cadences of the Bulgarian language into vivid English. Together, this extraordinary creative duo made history by winning the 2023 International Booker Prizefor Time Shelter—the first book written in Bulgarian to ever receive the honor.Time Shelter is a masterfully dark, funny, and prescient novel. It begins with an enigmatic psychiatrist opening a clinic that treats Alzheimer's patients by meticulously recreating past decades to match their internal clocks. But the experiment quickly escapes the clinic walls, triggering a pan-European crisis where entire nations hold democratic referendums to choose which era of the past they will retreat into. It is a book that holds up a mirror to our own world, exploring what happens when a civilization faces a deficit of meaning and tries to weaponize nostalgia.(0:00) The Trap of Nostalgia(2:13) The Art of Translation(5:44) The Pandemic of the Past(11:30) Reading from ‘Time Shelter'(14:28) Death and the Gardener(19:34) The Translator's Calling(26:05) Cultural Rhythms of the Bulgarian Language(30:00) The Nonlinear Approach to Storytelling(34:30) Separating Personal and Historical Pasts(42:55) Storytelling vs Propaganda(47:19) Bodies, Animals and the Loneliness of the Minotaur(56:00) Reading ' Eight Minutes and 19 Seconds'(1:00:28) What makes a good life?

Jacob finally gets the family he wanted — and finds it's nothing like he imagined. Dr. John Neufeld walks through the rivalry, manipulation, and heartbreak between Leah, Rachel, and their husband, showing how God's greatest work often unfolds in the middle of our most painful, disappointing years. It's a message of hope for anyone whose life has turned out very differently than planned: God's purposes can't be derailed, even by our own dysfunction.Amazing Promises to Dysfunctional People: In this 20-message series, Dr. John Neufeld walks through the dysfunctional family of Abraham found in Genesis 25-36, uncovering the relational brokenness at its core. Sin leaves human relationships fractured—we long for connection, yet find ourselves divided in so many ways. Listen in, and be challenged to live with integrity even when the world around you feels like it's falling apart.

Pastor Patrick Carmichael & occasional guest speakers deliver God's Word at Christ Bible Church's weekly Sunday services. Mission Hills, California.

Send us Fan MailPaul doesn't ease into Romans 9. He swears he's telling the truth “in Christ,” refuses any hint of exaggeration, and calls his conscience and the Holy Spirit as witnesses. That kind of opening tells you the next words will cost him something and they do. We read Romans 9:1-5 closely and trace why Paul carries “great heaviness and continual sorrow” for his kinsmen, even while honoring Israel's adoption, covenants, worship, promises, and the lineage that leads to Christ.We also wrestle with the way people interpret Romans 9–11, especially when a system turns these chapters into a victory lap that ignores Paul's grief and his chains. If the message is only about future esteem, why does Paul sound like a man pleading through tears? We talk biblical theology, careful Bible study, and how to test big claims against the plain texture of the text.Then the conversation turns personal. Lisa reflects on a truth many of us share: we weren't hunting for Jesus, and yet Jesus came after us. That leads straight into Paul's Damascus Road encounter, described as a light brighter than the noonday sun, a vivid picture of false confidence being overruled by real illumination.If you've ever felt the pressure of telling loved ones something they don't want to hear, or worried your past disqualifies your witness, this will meet you there.

Send us Fan MailPaul's story is a nightmare for anyone who wants a quiet, low-risk faith. He used to hunt Christians, then God stopped him cold and turned him into the very kind of man his old allies would distrust. That tension sets the tone for our roundtable as we ask a personal question: how do we go back to the people who remember our sin and still tell them the truth without hiding behind comfort?We walk through the opening of Romans 9 and linger over something easy to miss: Paul's grief is not aimed at a system, a nation, or a political identity. It's aimed at his brethren, real people he loves, even when their unbelief breaks his heart. Along the way, we talk about conversion humility, the meaning of “in Christ,” the reality of the remnant, and how God's sovereign grace should produce compassion rather than cold debate.Then we reach Romans 9:3, where Paul says he could wish himself accursed from Christ for his kinsmen. We unpack why that statement is so staggering, what it reveals about love, and why it presses on our reluctance to speak plainly to family. We also address why Paul is still resisted today, why the “two gospels” idea collapses under Scripture, and why assurance in Christ should make us brave rather than silent.If this conversation challenges you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs the hard truth, and leave a review. Who is the one person you know you need to talk to next?Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailPaul's words in Romans 9 are shocking on purpose: he talks like a man willing to be cursed if it would mean his own people finally see Christ. That kind of grief forces a hard question. If the future is simply a separate national plan for Israel, why does Paul sound crushed instead of triumphant? We walk through that tension and challenge the common Israel vs church split that reshapes Romans 9 to 11 into something Paul isn't actually saying.From there, we zoom out to Israel's long struggle with idolatry, the demand for something visible, and the refusal to share God with the world. Then Jesus steps into history with a sentence that changes everything: God loves the world. We talk about what it means for Gentiles, for Jewish pride, and for the unity of God's saving purpose from the foundation of the world. Along the way we name Israel's real privileges, why it's such a tragedy to stumble over the Messiah, and how Christ is both truly human and fully God.The conversation turns personal and practical with Barabbas, human depravity, and why we need regeneration by the Holy Spirit, not just better intentions. We also dig into heart circumcision from Romans 2, the identity of the true people of God, and why baptism is a powerful confession without becoming a checklist for salvation. If you've ever wondered how to hold theology and pastoral comfort together, the repeated encouragement lands close to home: remember your baptism when life gets heavy.Subscribe for more Bible-centered conversations, share this with a friend who loves Romans, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

“The invitation has always been towards a descent.”Grief is a core human faculty that requires skill development rather than simply passing through. This week, we're exploring these skills through the lens of an apprenticeship of sorrow with author and teacher Francis Weller. Francis' work invites us to consider the necessarily communal reality of grief work and in this conversation, we also covered practical advice for those struggling with acute grief, too.In this episode, we talk about:​Grief as a communal human faculty​The value of community support in our grief work​The expression of vulnerability​Collective ritual practices​Balancing grief and gratitude​Embracing the darkness​Acknowledging and pursuing primary satisfactions for groundingLinks + Resources from this episode:​FrancisWeller.net​Learn more about Restorative Grief Coaching​Become a Patron/Get the workbook​Follow Mandy on Instagram

Are you all sitting comfybold two square on your body? Then I'll begin. We return to the topic of the concept album...with a spin. Some concept albums simply don't work without context. Others function as a cohesive collection of songs, even divorced from a weighty backstory or overarching theme. Those are the records that Brett Vargo discusses with this week's Third Lad, Bill Kopp. You may remember renowned music scribe Bill Kopp from his O3L appearance a few years back discussing his book on classic San Francisco indie label 415 Records, Disturbing The Peace. Now Bill's back, celebrating the release of his latest book, What's The Big Idea - 30 Great Concept Albums, out now on Hozac Books. In What's The Big Idea, Bill explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing from new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation, including Pete Townshend, Steve Kilbey, Captain Sensible, Utopia, and William Shatner. While there are some well-known classic concept albums covered such as The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow and Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick, much of the book is dedicated to lesser known gems that dispel the myth that the concept album died in the mid-1970s. Order the book at: ⁠https://hozacrecords.com/product/pre-order-whats-the-big-idea-30-great-concept-albums-book-by-bill-kopp/⁠ We also feature music by the great veteran Australian singer-songwriter Greg Williams ('Everyday Is Your Birthday') and Pillars of Creation, a band comprised mostly of early Creation Records musicians - led by Jasmine Minks' Jim Shepherd and featuring members of Primal Scream, The Loft, and June Brides ('Be Careful What You Wish For').

When Sorrow Finds Its Voice: Daniel Boone, Grief, and the Death of His Son In September 1773, Daniel Boone led his family and a small party toward Kentucky, hoping to begin a new life beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Before that journey could truly begin, Boone's oldest son, James, and Henry Russell were overtaken and killed after traveling ahead of the main group. The expedition ended immediately. The families turned back toward Virginia, leaving Boone to carry a loss that history could record—but never fully explain. Episode 3 of The Honest Outdoors is not simply about the death of James Boone. It is a character study of the father who survived him. What happened within Daniel Boone during the nearly two years between the tragedy and his return to Kentucky? How did he carry his grief without allowing it to become hatred? What kept sorrow from deciding the kind of man he would become? Set against the violence and uncertainty of the American frontier, this episode explores the private territory beyond the historical record—the place where loss divides a life into “before” and “after,” and where a grieving person must decide what will survive alongside the pain. Boone's return to Kentucky did not mean that James had been forgotten or that his grief had ended. It revealed something deeper about his character: the wilderness had taken his son, but Boone refused to surrender the rest of himself to what happened there. Because sometimes sorrow does more than break the silence. Sometimes it reveals the person beneath it. In this episode: The death of James Boone and Henry Russell in 1773 The collapse of Boone's first attempt to settle Kentucky Daniel Boone's private grief as a father The nearly two years between tragedy and his return The danger of allowing grief to become hatred Boone's character amid the violence of the American frontier Carrying loss without allowing it to define us The courage required to return without forgetting “Maybe his greatest act of courage was refusing to become someone else because of what the wilderness had taken from him.” Season One of The Honest Outdoors is anchored in Mike Martin's book, The Honest Wilderness: Finding Daniel Boone and the Frontier Within.

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading infectious cause of congenital disorders in the United States, but many pregnant families have never heard of it.

Slowly stepping out of one of the hardest seasons of life, having wrestled with God the whole way through — wondering what He was doing, why He would allow such suffering, and whether He was truly present in the middle of unimaginable pain. That kind of honesty is not a crisis of faith. It is faith in its most human and most courageous form, holding on to the truth that God had always come through before and trusting He would come through again. James 1:2 instructs us to consider it pure joy when we face trials of many kinds. And if that instruction has ever made you want to laugh out loud sarcastically, you are in very good company. Suffering hurts. Sorrow causes genuine heartache. Joy in the pit of darkest days does not come automatically. But James does not ask us to feel joy instantly — he asks us to consider it. That one word opens a door that despair tries to keep closed. If we can simply entertain the possibility that something good might be growing in us through the pain — perseverance, endurance, a stronger faith — there is a glimmer of hope in that consideration. And even the smallest glimmer of hope carries a spark of joy. God does not waste our suffering. He is carrying us through it, producing in us what ease and comfort never could, and opening up blessings we could not have received any other way. Your trust in Him can keep growing, one trial at a time, one day at a time. Today's Bible Verse "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."— James 1:2-3, NIV Ponder Today James asks us to consider joy — not to manufacture it instantly. The word "consider" is an invitation to entertain the possibility, even when feelings run in the opposite direction. That small act of considering opens the door to hope. The testing of faith produces perseverance, endurance, steadfastness, and growth. These are not small things. They are the qualities that carry us through every future trial, and they are only forged in the fire of genuine difficulty. Even the smallest glimmer of hope carries a spark of joy. When we are drowning in darkness, we do not need a flood of joy. We need enough light to keep moving. Considering what God might be producing through our pain is enough to provide that. You can trust God's goodness even when you cannot see it clearly. His Word repeatedly declares that He is trustworthy, that He works all things for good, and that He never leaves our side. Those truths do not change because our circumstances are painful. A Prayer for You Today Lord God, Your Word tells me that You use all things for good. But to be honest, sometimes life hurts so much that it is hard to see or imagine any good. Help me to remember that You are all-powerful, that You are a God of goodness, that You love me more than I can fathom, and that You are absolutely trustworthy at all times. Help me to simply consider these beautiful truths in and through my sorrows and suffering. Because when I acknowledge You, Your power, and Your blessings in my difficulties, I find hope. And in hope, there is joy. I praise You for the joy You make always available to me. In Your faithful name, Amen.

When depression settles over life, where should Christians turn? Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar begin by addressing the reality of depression and discouragement, acknowledging that seasons of darkness touch every believer in different ways. Rather than treating depression as evidence of weak faith, they explain that Scripture honestly portrays the sorrow of God's people while continually pointing them back to His faithfulness. Though emotions often tell a different story, believers are reminded that God is working all things together for their good and that each day is another opportunity to know Him, serve Him, and trust His promises.The conversation then explores the biblical understanding of depression, challenging common misconceptions about mental health. The guys explain that sorrow is often multifaceted, encompassing physical, emotional, relational, moral, and spiritual realities that should not be ignored. Looking to Christ as the Man of Sorrows and to countless examples throughout Scripture, they remind listeners that seasons of grief do not necessarily indicate personal sin or a lack of faith. Rather than seeking quick fixes, believers are encouraged to anchor themselves in God's truth, knowing that while suffering is part of life in a fallen world, it will not have the final word.From there, the discussion turns to practical ways Christians can faithfully navigate seasons of depression. The guys encourage listeners to keep moving forward, one step at a time, to seek help from the body of Christ, and to embrace the ordinary means God has provided for their care. Exercise, rest, healthy routines, purposeful work, serving others, reading Scripture, and cultivating daily habits all become practical expressions of trusting the Lord rather than surrendering to despair. They also remind listeners that true identity is found in Christ, not in feelings or circumstances, and that lasting hope comes from being fully known and fully loved by God.Finally, the guys address the important distinction between depression and suicidal thoughts, urging believers to respond with wisdom, compassion, and urgency when someone is in crisis. They emphasize asking difficult questions, helping loved ones find safety, and seeking professional care when necessary. Throughout the conversation, the gospel remains the foundation of hope, reminding believers that Christ has entered human suffering, conquered sin and death, and promises an eternal future in which sorrow will one day be no more.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!
