Finding Release From Hatred

It is not uncommon to hear divorced couples speaking admirably of their children's resilience in coping with their own separate lives. Whether it is overconfidence, guilt, or a desire to believe that one's own kids are exceptional in this regard. Author Elizabeth Marquardt calls much of it "happy talk"– talk that denies the very painful consequences that go with every divorce. Host Peter Marty reflects on the spiritual side of this pain....

Avoiding an Itsy Bitsy Life

The life of a refugee is never easy. Fleeing persecution or life-threatening circumstances in one’s own country to find a home elsewhere is next to impossible.

The Rhythm of the Christian Life

According to Holy Scripture, God built rhythm into the universe. Work and rest were meant to be fair players with one another. Something happened to this rhythm along the way, however. Rest got bumped to the periphery and work assumed center stage. Author and minister Wayne Muller reflects on how effectively we keep – and do not keep – the Sabbath commandment. Host Peter Marty looks at the distinctive rhythm of the Christian life....
