“As long as you live,” Seneca said, “keep learning how to live.” As long as we're alive, we must keep learning and wrestling with these ideas.

Matt Miles is a Political Science professor at Brigham Young University–Idaho and a co-host of This Week in Mormons and the Latter-day Lens podcasts. Links Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Religious Identity in US Politics The Latter-day Lens podcast This Week in Mormons Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights This discussion centers on a research-backed framework for measuring religiosity, moving beyond traditional metrics to focus on the transformative effects of faith on an individual's life. Beyond the Three B's: Traditionally, religiosity has been measured by "the three B's": Behavior (what a person does), Belonging (their social connections), and Belief (their convictions). Matt Miles argues that these are insufficient measures of genuine faith. The Fourth B: Becoming: A more accurate measure is "religious becoming"—the extent to which a person has been transformed by their faith. This concept suggests that true religiosity is not just about actions but about internal change. Four Aspects of Transformation: Based on his research, Miles identified four universal traits that indicate "religious becoming": Transcendence (a connection to the divine), Humanity (love for others), Justice (a belief in fairness), and Temperance (humility). Faith and Political Tolerance: The research shows that individuals with higher scores in "religious becoming" are more politically tolerant. They are less likely to view those with opposing political views as a threat, in contrast to those whose faith is measured only by the "three B's." Challenges of Genuine Change: The episode highlights the difficulty for leaders and parents in discerning whether someone has truly been transformed by the gospel or is simply going through the motions. Leadership Applications Leaders should focus on teaching a "holistic gospel" that emphasizes the principles of "becoming," rather than just providing a checklist of behaviors. This encourages genuine internal change over external compliance. The discussion suggests that the Church is effective at teaching "transcendence" (connection to God) but could improve at teaching "humanity" (love for others) and "temperance" (humility). Leaders can apply this insight by creating more opportunities for members to serve others and develop empathy. The research on political tolerance can help leaders foster more charitable and understanding discussions within their wards and stakes, particularly on sensitive topics.

When Christopher Columbus brought tobacco to Europe, it became a miracle drug. It was used for over 250 maladies (e.g., warts, asthma, ulcers, arrow wounds, toothaches, bad breath, deafness, tonsillitis, nosebleeds, epilepsy, etc.). From 1790 to 1830, alcohol consumption rose in America. Most men and some women and children drank alcohol regularly. Steven Harper recorded that in 1820, the upstate New York region near Joseph's home made a lot of corn whiskey and exported 65,277 gallons and 69 tons of beer. However, by 1830, temperance movements across the states—including a 239-member society in Kirtland—began attacking alcohol, tobacco, and other social ills (Harper, Making Sense of the D&C, 322-323). Several other food issues were discussed in local newspapers. A 19th-20th century contemporary of the Saints, Catherine Beecher, spoke against tea and coffee specifically as dangerous as alcohol. On February 1, 1833, four weeks before Joseph received this revelation, a Kirtland distillery (1819- 1833) closed due to a local temperance society's work to decrease their clients (P.H. Peterson, 13). It was part of a national organization, with the nearby larger city of Albany, NY, boasting twelve temperance societies. Joseph subscribed to local newspapers that also denounced alcohol consumption. It was a national issue, and it was on Joseph's mind. These local issues, and Emma's request, probably contributed to the Prophet Joseph's desire to learn the Lord's will on the subject. The Word of Wisdom differs from regularly published temperance society claims as it never claimed to be a cure for a list of ills, nor the cause of many illnesses (including cholera). Temperance societies also built on biblical warnings like Ephesians 5:18, that denounces excessive use of wine, or Proverbs 23:2 on gluttony (and 23:21; Deut. 21:20; Luke 21:34). Revelation in Kirtland, Ohio On February 27, 1833, Joseph met on the upper level of the Whitney's Store with a group of about 22 Saints for an institute-style class called "the school of the prophets." Zebedee Coltrin remembered that Joseph received this revelation in an adjoining room with only two or three others present, right before the school met. When he entered the school of the prophets, he had the revelation in his hand. As he began to read, all but one were using tobacco, but all put down their pipes as he read. Also at the School of the Prophets a remarkable vision occurred in which several members of the group saw Jesus Christ and/or Heavenly Father. Eye witness accounts are explored in this video podcast. Finally, information on the Apocrypha is given and Dr. Wilson goes into detail about each book including the ones she considers to be her favorite. Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson as she examines these exciting elements of Church history.

The right time to do the hard thing, the courageous thing, the right thing? It's right now.

Guilt is about the past and the past is the one thing we cannot change. All we can do is do better now.

True curiosity demands action. It challenges your assumptions, expands your worldview, and pushes you to do something with what you learn.

Today's reading opens with Marsha Ambrosius's “Hope She Cheats on You with a Basketball Player”... so you already know we're getting into some petty prayers and post-heartbreak personality shifts. We're talking Three of Swords heartbreak energy, but also Temperance, the Sun, and the World—a cosmic glow-up is underway. You're done waiting on closure and ready to be cutthroat, but the Page of Cups says your inner sweetheart still exists (just with better boundaries). Spirit guides are clocked in, the Devil card's got your feminine energy on edge, and the Lovers is here like, “So what's it gon' be?” We touch on: The emotional evolution from Fool → Hero/Heroine → Hedonist Why “Release Your Ex” means more than deleting their number A codependency detox with a side of spiritual sass And why being too “cutthroat” might be giving them the win

In her book, The Progressives' Bible: How Scriptural Interpretation Built a More Just America, (Fortress Press, 2024), Claudia Setzer argues that while conservative groups have often appealed to the Bible to support their positions, so too have many progressive voices rooted in the Bible, seeing their struggles in its narratives and characters, and drawing on its verses to prove the truth of their positions. Abolitionism countered pro-slavery arguments with copious biblical material. Women's rights advocates strongly disagreed with one another about whether the Bible was good news for their cause, but some argued that it was. Temperance, a broadly inclusive reform movement in the nineteenth century, employed arguments that reflected a critical, non-literalist stance to the text. Civil rights speakers identified with biblical figures and struggles, infusing their rhetoric with familiar verses. The Progressives' Bible foregrounds women, especially women of color, like Maria Stewart, Septima Clark, and Fannie Lou Hamer, while also considering the works of crucial figures like Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr. A final chapter describes contemporary social justice movements that draw strength from biblical and religious traditions, from Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant perspectives.

Very few of Portland's saloonkeepers threw firecrackers at the ladies of the Women's Temperance Prayer League and called them 'damn whores' when they came by to hold prayer services at their bars. But, as the old song goes, there's one in every crowd ... and it's usually Walter Moffett of the Webfoot Saloon.

Who doesn't like beer? Lots of people, apparently. As Americans sought to remedy the ills plaguing their society, beer was caught in the cross hairs. We tell the story of how the American beer industry rose to defend itself against Progressive Era reforms in a decades-long fight. And it almost worked.Find the full transcript of this episode including citations at our website:https://www.americanhistoryremix.com/episodeguide/american-beer-In this episode we cover…Introduction [0:00-04:01]Beer in Early America [04:01-08:06]Early Reform Movements [08:06-11:54]Beer Responds to Temperance [11:54-12:46]Moderate Success [12:46-14:03]Growth of the Beer Industry [14:03-16:37]Second Wave of Temperance [16:37-17:46]Women, Alcohol, & Women's Rights [17:46-21:30]Beer as Medicine [21:30-24:04]Beer & the Economy [24:04-24:45]Failures of the Second Wave of Temperance [24:45-26:26]Saloons [26:26-30:22]Local Option [30:22-32:29]Pure Food Movement [32:29-36:20]Beer & Pure Food [36:20-37:48]     Tax Revenue & Regulation [37:48-41:18]Beer on the Defense [41:18-42:42]World War One [42:42-44:47]Anti-German Sentiment [44:47-46:23]Beer & WWI [46:23-47:47]Prohibition & Other Reforms [47:47-49:46]Conclusion-To dive deeper into these topics (affiliate links):Stanley Baron, Brewed in America: A History of Beer and Ale in the United States.https://tinyurl.com/Baron-BrewedThomas C.

Most people are enslaved and controlled and directed by their ignorance. Their impulses. Their temper. Their desires and delusions.

Inspired by the successes of temperance activists back east, a group of Portland ladies decided to take their message of abstinance out of the churches and into the streets. They may have been surprised by the reaction they got. (Portland, Multnomah County; 1870s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1902a.temperance-wars-1of4-533.html)

Temperance is defeated, but victory's short-lived—Fia's missing, friends have been kidnapped, and the gang's stuck halfway up Dragon's Back Mountain with nothing but trauma, trust issues, and AJ: the mountain expert and walking Knight Scout manual.

“Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” - Mark TwainIn this powerful talk, Ryan explains why justice is the true measure of leadership. This is a call to do the right thing, not because it's easy or profitable, but because it's the only thing that truly lasts.

AMDG. “Sister, is God a person for you, or an idea?”   Diocesan priest, author, and former hermit Fr. Wayne Sattler joins the Kolbecast to share his life-story from high school teacher to almost-married to hermit; his two books, which originated in his notes from years leading spiritual retreats; spiritual direction, or as he prefers to call it, “spiritual friendship”; relating to God as a person, not as an idea, which is the theme of one of his books; and so much more. Fr. Sattler's humor, hope, and humility shine through every story he tells, and his words reflect the wisdom he has gained from his years of experience counseling others.   Links mentioned & relevant:  Books & articles by Fr.

In this deep dive, Angelica traces the winding spiritual andpsychological roots of Alcoholics Anonymous—from a Swiss psychoanalyst's mystical mic drop to the passionate fervor of the Oxford Group. We explore how Carl Jung's phrase "Spiritus contra spiritum” ("the spirit of alcohol versus the spirit of God") sparked a lineage of soul-searching drunks and spiritual rebels, eventually leading to the founding of AA.Along the way, we meet Frank Buchman, the fiery founder ofthe Oxford Group; Rowland Hazard, the wealthy alcoholic who helped spread the message; and Bill Wilson, who turned his own spiritual awakening into a movement. We also explore AA's “three pillars”: spirituality, stepwork, and sponsorship—unpacking how connection, confession, and good old-fashioned honesty became the true medicine for recovery.Whether you're sober, sober-curious, or just here for the hotspiritual gossip, this episode invites you to consider what happens when desperate people choose grace, one day at a time.

No one ever became excellent by chance, the Stoics said…so if you want to be courageous and disciplined and ethical, you gotta do the work.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to Bob Smotherman from Temperance, MI. Bob, thank you for partnering with us through Project23. Your support helps rewrite endings for so many. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 5:35-43: While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. — Mark 5:35-43 The crowd was still processing the healing of the woman. But before Jairus could take another step, his worst fear arrived: “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” It was over. Too late. Or so they thought. But Jesus hears the report and immediately speaks to Jairus: “Do not fear. Only believe.” That one sentence reframes everything. Jesus doesn't explain. He simply calls Jairus to trust—beyond the news, beyond the evidence, beyond the grief, beyond the noise. They arrive at the house, and the wailing has already begun. People mourning. People mocking. Jesus says, “She's not dead but sleeping,” and they laugh. But their laughter doesn't stop him. He clears the room. He takes her hand. And He speaks the words only Jesus could say: “Talitha cumi.” And she does. This is who Jesus is. He speaks life where others have accepted death. He walks into impossible rooms and rewrites the ending. He turns mourning into miracles. If you're holding onto grief, fear, or finality today. Remember, Jesus can rewrite the ending of any story. Hear his words again: “Do not fear. Only believe.” #OnlyBelieve, #JesusHeals, #MarkFive ASK THIS: What fear are you facing that Jesus wants to replace with faith? How do you respond when others mock your hope in Jesus? What areas of your life feel like they're beyond saving? How might Jesus be rewriting a story you've already given up on? DO THIS: Speak aloud the words of Jesus today—“Do not fear. Only believe”—and let them confront one specific fear you're facing. PRAY THIS: Jesus, when fear and doubt try to take over, help me hear Your voice above the noise. I choose to believe—even when others laugh, even when it seems too late. Amen.
