I also wanted to expand a bit on his presentation for The Great Hearts Conference on how fairy tales reflect "The Music of the Spheres." I also wanted to dive a bit more into how to teach fairy tales to students. Some of the key points we covered include: - Fairy Tales and “ Music of the Spheres” (His original presentation at The Great Hearts Conference is on YouTube)- Patterns forming experiences and behavior - Narration: Retelling stories- Developing an imagination- Relationships, Analogies, & Faith- Celebrate fairy tales with tea time- Attention , Memory, Transmission - Teaching Fairy Tales to High School Students - Noticing symbolism in Fairy Tales and Bible StoriesAuthors and Books Mentioned Jonathan PageauSnow WhiteJ.

In the midst of winter's quiet embrace, where the days grow shorter and nature seems to pause, a resilient force persists—the power of water. Join us in this compelling episode, as we explore the profound symbolism and timeless wisdom that water imparts during the colder months.As winter settles in, the monotonous sound of water, whether in a fountain or by the ocean, becomes hypnotic. Its repetition resonates with us, revealing life's continual journey of change and transformation. Much like water shifts from solid to fluid to vapour, we too experience ongoing growth and evolution.With its call to retreat and embrace stillness, winter encourages us to turn inward. As the natural world slows down, we find solace and clarity amidst the cold darkness, attuning ourselves to our internal world.In its ability to hold the collective memory of our ancestors, water safeguards the essence of who we are, reminding us of our connection to the divine and the vast tapestry of existence. Winter, often associated with fear, becomes a dance between fear and fearlessness as water teaches us to balance historical challenges with the will to survive and thrive.With its power to shape and erode, water signifies an eternal cycle, a reminder that, like water, our lives are boundless and eternal. Join us in this reflective journey through the frozen landscapes of winter, as we embrace the soothing sound of water and draw inspiration from its timeless teachings.

The lockdown of the last few years affected all of us in one way or another. Emily Colson and her son Max, who has autism, were stripped of outside community and the team who helped them.

Join us as we hear Emily and Max's journey of how God has loved and led them through this all.    Heart by Max with The Colson Center  Heart by Max website  Dancing with Max: A Mother and Son Who Broke Free by Emily Colson and Chuck Colson  Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeline L'Engle  Erin and her husband, Brett, run Maven which “exists to help the next generation know truth, pursue goodness, and create beauty, all for the cause of Christ.” Check out more about Maven here: https://maventruth.com/   The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.

Does God want you to be perfect? Well, does he? Taking a question from their audience, the Finchers tease apart perfect and perfectionism and why God's laws are never too heavy for us. Doubt this already? Listen to "Fire Those Gods" after this one.  Favorite line: “Most Christians think Jesus asks us to do something we can never do.”  Book mentioned: Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeleine L'Engle. ______ Get your Stories of Jesus for the Modern Family at dalefincher.com.

This week we take a look a the ebb and flow of progress made in 2021 towards better water quality for Florida. Nyla Pipes devotes countless hours to researching the issues and projects impacting Florida's waterways. In this episode, she provides a bird's eye view of where we stand at year end and lays it out in plain language that anyone can follow and understand. We've still got a long way to go, but many water projects are moving forward and there's much to celebrate here as we wrap up the year.

Today, I wanted to share one of my favorite books with you. Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith & Art by Madeleine L'Engle. It talks about time, the beauty of life, creating, and becoming who you are meant to be. This book is about the idea of what does it mean to be an artist? Any kind of artist: writer, musician, painter, illustrator. I think it goes even beyond that into what does it mean to be a human? Let's walk through these ideas together. I can't wait to share it with you!

'Creator' the noun can collapse on its own weight, especially on the internet — but this word doesn't only apply to social media influencers, artists, or inventors. We're all creators. And, as Seth and Tsh are joined around the table by their friend, Haley Stewart, the three talk about whether we just might all be hard-wired in our nature to join in the act of creation more than participating in our culture's default of consumption.

Merry Christmas Eve to all the listeners and lovers of Hyphenated Life podcast! Since Christmas Eve falls on a Thursday this year, the day of the week we release our Hyphenated Life podcasts, we decided to tickle your sacred vs. secular sensors with a delve into one of the formative quotes for the basis of Hyphenated Life. That quote of course is from Madeleine L'Engle, and her book "Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art"“There is nothing so secular that it cannot be sacred, and that is one of the deepest messages of the Incarnation.”This idea has been both inspirational and foundational to our outlook on the world. We're excited to hopefully share this special day with you as we celebrate the humanity and the divine in all of us! Merry Christmas!

Auden   Time will say nothing but I told you so, Time only knows the price we have to pay; If I could tell you I would let you know.   If we should weep when clowns put on their show, If we should stumble when musicians play, Time will say nothing but I told you so.   There are no fortunes to be told, although, Because I love you more than I can say, If I could tell you I would let you know.   The winds must come from somewhere when they blow, There must be reasons why the leaves decay; Time will say nothing but I told you so.   Perhaps the roses really want to grow, The vision seriously intends to stay; If I could tell you I would let you know.   Suppose the lions all get up and go, And all the brooks and soldiers run away; Will Time say nothing but I told you so? If I could tell you I would let you know.

What counts as "real" creativity? Join Ashley and Abbigail as they explore the definition of creativity and how to define it in your own life. Resources and quotes mentioned in this episode "But unless we are creators we are not fully alive. What do I mean by creators? Not only artists, whose acts of creation are the obvious ones of working with paint of clay or words. Creativity is a way of living life, no matter our vocation or how we earn our living. Creativity is not limited to the arts, or having some kind of important career.” ― Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art "The discipline of creation, be it to paint, compose, write, is an effort towards wholeness.” ― Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art “If you are worried that your art is a waste of time, perhaps you need to redefine success in art. Are you becoming more fully yourself?” ― Emily P. Freeman, A Million Little Ways “ . . . being an artist has something to do with being brave enough to move toward what makes you come alive.” ― Emily P. Freeman, A Million Little Ways "Creativity should be an everyday experience." ― Erwin McManus, The Artisan Soul Modern Mrs. Darcy blog post on the eight-line edit: "The Eight Uncomfortable Lines I Want to Cut from Books I'm Reading These Days" Mini book club The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman Here's where to find Abbigail Inkwells and Images Twitter: @abbigailekriebs Instagram: @abbigailekriebs Facebook: @inkwellsandimages Pinterest: @abbigailekriebs Here's where to find Ashley Brooks Editorial Ashley Brooks Writes Twitter: @brookseditorial Instagram: @brookseditorial Pinterest: @brookseditorial

In this episode we recap the beautiful retreat we were blessed to lead March 31-April 2 in British Columbia. We were joined by 200 women from Canada and the US who journeyed with us into the deep realities of God’s unfailing love, healing from shame, fixing our gaze on Jesus and being equipped (and sometimes uncomfortable!) by the Holy Spirit.

A visit to the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii some years ago was, for me, a moving experience. The impact of the horrific attack catapulted the United States into World War II and directly affected the lives of millions of Americans, including my family. You see, my father, caught up in the national indignation and patriotic fervor that swept the nation, enlisted in the United States Navy three days after the attack.

Gale Norton served as the 48th Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior from 2001-2006. The first woman to head the 153-year-old department, Norton made what she calls the Four C's the cornerstone of her tenure: Consultation, Communications, and Cooperation, all the the service of Conservation. At the heart of the Four C's is the belief that for conservation to be successful, the government must involve the people who live and work on the land. Recorded April 7, 2008.
