EXCERPTS
“If we hadn’t demeaned parenthood in favor of elevating career-achievement to a quasi-religious cult, and if we hadn’t in effect become nomadic, rootless, individualistic, disruption-venerating, thrill-seeking strivers, we might have our priorities straight when it comes to what a good life, a happy life, and fulfilling life actually can be.”
“We used to talk about childcare as if its purpose was to ‘free’ women to get jobs. We updated that to ‘freeing parents’—men and women—to get jobs.”
“To get respect, women with children or caregiving males or nonbinary caregivers must identify themselves as having some other job besides ‘just childcare’ or being ‘just a houseparent’ because childcare is regarded as unskilled labor.”
“Evolution built us to expect help from others and to give it. That’s the reason we instinctively wanted to know why our government “isn’t doing anything” and expected someone to ‘do something’ when Covid-19 emerged as our version of the Black Death.”
“Americans on the move, chasing jobs, leave behind family and other deep connections again and again and again. Then we wonder why our relationships and marriages go bad and why we feel lonely.”
“Today, parents face crises alone as a result of:
Providing no government-funded services for childcare while at the same time encouraging (actually, forcing, though social pressure about what is ‘cool’ to do) both parents to work outside the home—even when they have very young preschool children.…”
“Providing a space for the inner stillness a child needs to contemplate the beauty of life—their very own encounter with the spirit of the Primavera—is what grandparents are ‘for.’”
“Parenthood is often delayed past what makes sense biologically. That’s because people are given no good choices. Help from family evaporates into thin air when jobs change and people move far away.”
“There’s a reason infant and child mortality rates dropped when kids were with parents during the Covid lockdown rather than with strangers.”
“Younger people with callous or indifferent or (most likely) uninformed attitudes about the elderly are cutting their lifespans shorter.”
“Kids who grow up with active grandparents involved in their daily lives do far better through their entire lifetime than those deprived of such contacts.”
“What is evolution “telling” us? Answer: if we’re deprived of love, we wither. If we get “born again” into the religion of greed, we kill ourselves.”
“Grandparents pay a steep price for being cut off from childcare work, inspiration, and fun. They die sooner, according to the ‘Berlin Aging Study.’ It was first published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.”
“Children visit a grandparent from time to time. The rest of their lives are spent in hermetically sealed childcare, preschool, school, trade school or college, and then career age-specific bubbles. When older people are put at risk, this is accepted because ‘they’ are so isolated from the rest of us.”
“By our career-first model we have effectively removed actively involved grandparents from the family reciprocity love-motivated childcare picture. This is insane. Is insane too strong a word? No.”
“Some former evangelical believers like me face major struggles because discarding specific beliefs no matter how ridiculous they are does not erase the associated toxic assumptions and feelings about self and life.”
“Point being: With a few exceptions, money and/or fame seem to be among the worst things that can befall anyone, let alone happen to their kids.”
“What is true of hurried sex and bad cooking is true of hurried family life ‘cut’ (as it were) to the pace of a TV commercial or a frantic sex scene.”
“Great sex is (to me anyway) relaxed, happy, and friendly and built on learning what another treasured person loves to do, feel, and be.”
“Can we see our relationships as acts of cooperation, not as a competition? Why should it take a pandemic to remind some parents of the pleasures of actually being parents? Can more parents be freed to be parents and stay home for a few years even when there isn’t a pandemic?”
“Some of us are pushing back against the careerist survival-of-the-fittest time and soul famine.”
“What if we changed our definition of success so none of us faced social pressures or economic pressures during our children’s little-child years (say birth to four years old and preschool) to conform to a pro-business, one-size-fits-all, Goldman Sachs’— style model of life focused on our job title?”
“Why aren’t both parents’ jobs flexible enough to accommodate parenthood during, say, the years one to four of any child?”
“Bonds form when you become home, protector, caregiver, nurse, best friend, teacher, co-adventurer, and above all a most constant and loyal figure in your child or grandchild’s life can’t be faked with ‘quality time’ or visits. I’m sorry I didn’t know this many years ago.”
“In other words, evolution taught us that we actually are our brothers’ (and children’s) keepers long before the idea was folded into religious concepts expressed in passages such as these: “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2), and “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35).”
“Morality is real. It is absolute.
Morality does not need religion.
Morality came first and religion a very distant second.”
“But what if an individual in a community reduces their relationship with others to brute strength and/or to a career stepping stone? What if we call for family values and then do everything we can to undermine them by refusing to support parents?”
“The evolutionary advantage of being a cultural animal might be described as the learning of altruism.”
“We evolved mercy and forgiveness because we evolved the ability to feel empathy, and we aren’t alone. Love is a thing but not only a human ‘thing.’ Love is bigger than just us. Dogs too evolved the capacity to crave love and to return love and service to others.”

INTERVIEWS
In this first of two episodes, we talk with Frank Schaeffer, author and son of the late theologian and Evangelical author, Francis Schaeffer.

Joining Jill Devine this week on the podcast is bestselling author Frank Schaeffer:
“When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down our world, the forced sheltering in place with our families opened many people’s eyes to how we were meant to live. The only real “how to” for a happy life is simple and exists in our DNA: a meaningful, loving connection to others. We evolved to feel happiest when caring for others, not when seeking power over them.
As we move forward to a post-pandemic world, there is no better time than right now to rebalance our work and family lives in favor of love and living. In his new book, bestselling author Frank Schaeffer implores us to follow this directive: Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy.”
Are you good at sex? Well, you shouldn't be. In this episode Michaela and Frank chat humbly and with humility about why people are unhappy, chasing the dollar, putting success before family, and ruling with an iron fist. When we start living for others we are able to find true happiness. Frank shares the ways in which the structures of society have kept people depressed, convincing them to put their careers in front of family and relationships and why you should be good at sex with your partner - but not with everyone.
Marta, Mandy & Roger have an in depth conversation with author Frank Schaeffer about his new book, "Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy."

Frank is a delightful human and a vibrant guest who, in true JHLTB fashion, leaves us with more questions than answers.
In his newest book, "Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy," Frank Schaeffer offers a passionate political, social, and lifestyle “blueprint” for changes millions of us know are needed to rebalance our work lives with thriving relationships.

We discuss his recent book, “Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy”, which urges readers to rethink their understanding of Darwin’s principle of “survival of the fittest” (which may have more to do with compassion and empathy than strength and domination). A thoroughly delightful conversation with a man whose impact on us is significant, to say the least.

Why are evangelicals acting so unevangelical?
Author Frank Schaeffer, prolific son of Francis Schaeffer, and an architect of the anti-abortion movement, on his latest book about the importance of connection and empathy, rather than power in human happiness.
“In this episode, we talk about how Frank helped start the pro-life movement and the religious right and why he came to regret it, how most “family values” are actually a form of misogyny, and how mothering can help save the planet.”
I had the pleasure of talking with my friend Doug Pagitt this morning on the Common Good Podcast. We had a great time and I would love for you to check it out!

Imagine this: One person wielding arbitrary power over 1.5 million military family members. But surprise, it’s not the president — it’s Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
His move to block more than 250 officer promotions not only robs the military of valuable talent, it’s left two military branches leaderless: the Marines, without an official chief for the first time in 164 years, and the Army. The consequences are far-reaching, impacting those who defend our freedoms.
“We are living off his good graces,” a Pentagon official said of Musk’s role in the war in Ukraine. “That sucks.”

Israel 2023, South Africa 1948. I’ve lived through it before: power grabbing, fascism and racism – the destruction of democracy. Israel is going where South Africa was 75 years ago. It’s like watching the replay of a horror movie.
Not content with trying to destroy America’s trust in the US election system with his big lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, Donald Trump is now trying to destroy America’s trust in the US judicial system with another big lie.
This week, I examine what’s wrong with economic news coverage, pick the pol of the week and share something different — a reminder from history.
The Titanic submersible tragedy has shone a light on a growing trend among the world's wealthiest people — extreme tourism.
When photos emerged of the claustrophobic interior of the 22ft submersible that has no chairs and Ziploc bags for toilets, the world was shocked to learn its five crew members paid $250,000 a head for a ticket.
“Fiction is where I go to tell the truth,” the late, great Pat Conroy once said. In his acclaimed novels, Conroy cut close to the bone, exposing human truths that left readers breathless with painful recognition.
So much for free-speech absolutism. Elon Musk proclaimed his devotion to expression above all else when he took over as Twitter CEO — but his tenure has seen the platform become, in many ways, more restrictive. A recent report on global government-ordered takedowns is the latest example.
I was standing in the arrivals hall at Kigali International Airport in Rwanda this month, waiting for an Afghan girl and thinking about the days that brought the two of us here.
The principal of Tallahassee Classical School was forced to resign this week after sixth-grade art students were shown images of Michelangelo’s David and parents complained. Yes, that David. No, I am not making this up. According to an interview with the school board chair by Slate’s Dan Kois, the principal of the charter school was supposed to send out a letter from the art teacher alerting parents that the nude statue would be shown. I can’t stop thinking about what this warning letter might have said.
A few months ago, I went to a worship service that, in many ways, was like a thousand evangelical services I’d seen before. People raised their hands while singing and cried out “Glory to God!” and “Amen.” People stood and gave “testimony,” telling stories of finding hope or healing from pain. They read Bible verses and prayed prayers. There was a clear difference, however, from most worship services I’ve attended: Nearly everyone in the room was an immigrant and a person of color. We sang in English but also in Spanish, Portuguese, Igbo and Nepali.
You might find it strange that a large segment of the Republican base thinks Whites are the true victims of racism and that Christians are under attack. After all, America’s biggest racial group is still Whites; the most common religious affiliation remains Christianity. Whites and Christians dominate elected office at all levels, the judiciary and corporate America. What’s the problem?
When one of my kids was 12, he was invited to join an esteemed local choir, one of the crown jewels of Albany’s Episcopal Cathedral of All Saints. Although he was an atheist, he didn’t object to singing Christian music — years in children’s choruses and “holiday” concerts had accustomed him to that.
Do you have a favorite book by Roald Dahl? I do—it’s his adult novel, My Uncle Oswald, a work defined by its unremitting misanthropy, vulgar sex scenes, and troubling sympathy for eugenics.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The work of the Iranian American artist Taravat Talepasand is cheeky, erotic and defiantly anticlerical. One painting in her new midcareer survey, “Taravat,” incorporates Iranian bank notes whose images of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini have been dosed with LSD.
Evangelicals have been deceived but do they know that? For many years I wondered why conservative evangelicals call themselves pro-life when many of them don’t seem to really care about the sanctity of life. I mean they might care for an unborn child, but they certainly don’t extend that same passion towards caring for the mother or the type of “life” the child will have once they are born.
Before the millions of views, the subsequent ridicule and finally the earnest apology, The Associated Press Stylebook practically oozed good intentions in its tweet last week:
“We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing ‘the’ labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college educated.”
“The French”?
In Iran, the Islamic Republic has a long and well-documented policy of using violence as a tool of political repression. Nationwide protests against the regime, triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman being held in police custody, were met with severe crackdowns and widespread arrests, followed by what would charitably be called show trials. Indeed, even to call them that is to grant them a veneer of legitimacy that they do not deserve.
Twitter’s staff spent years trying to protect the social media site against impulsive billionaires who wanted to use the reach of its platform for their own ends, and then one made himself the CEO.

I was there. I knew a lot of the people Keri is writing about, worked with them, lived with some of them, and was part of the rise of the religious right. And I’ve been writing about and saying these things for the last 40 years since I left, especially about how the secular media totally ignored it and underestimated it. They were more comfortable talking about economic policy than religious motivation. And there seemed to be an absolute misunderstanding of the power of the movement. Everyone thought it was too fringe to warrant serious attention.
Jonathan Tepper and Frank Schaeffer Discuss What Happens When Suffering Opens Us Instead of Hardening Us.
I haven’t been this struck or fallen in love this fast with a book in my life. I started reading it to my wife and couldn’t stop.
I don’t usually react to books this way. I picked this one up, got a few pages in, and went upstairs to get my wife so I could read it to her. I thought I’d read a page or two. I ended up reading fifty or sixty pages out loud before we had to get on with the day. I’ve never done that before with any book connected to this podcast.
I talked with Tia Levings about what it’s like to come out of a world that shaped you completely and what happens after you leave; not just the belief system, but the habits, the fears, the voice in your head that doesn’t feel like yours.

Melissa Duge Spiers joins me to talk about growing up in a high-control religious system and what it does to a person over time.

This conversation looks at how experiences like this don’t stay private, but shape the wider culture as well.
Michael D.C. Drout and I ended up talking about why some books don’t leave you alone. Not because they make you feel better, but because they tell you the truth. Tolkien does that. He doesn’t smooth things over. He doesn’t give you a neat ending. He shows you what it costs
Becky is back for the the third time and we discuss economic insecurity, media collapse, masculinity, and the rise of charismatic leaders, moving through religion, power, and the growing divide between men and women.
At the center of it all is a difficult question: how does a society lose its way, and can we find it again?
I was there. I knew a lot of the people Keri is writing about, worked with them, lived with some of them, and was part of the rise of the religious right. And I’ve been writing about and saying these things for the last 40 years since I left, especially about how the secular media totally ignored it and underestimated it. They were more comfortable talking about economic policy than religious motivation. And there seemed to be an absolute misunderstanding of the power of the movement.

I talked with Becky Garrison about her new book Gaslighting for God in this 2 part conversation, starting with spiritual narcissism, MAGA, Trump, and religious trauma, and why both conservative and progressive spaces can become shaped by control and image. Then we shift to what comes next, including hope, the limits of satire, the collapse of celebrity leadership, and why real change may be happening in smaller, more local, more human ways.
I sat down with Gina Goldhammer to talk about her novel Where Snowbirds Play, which is set in 1991 at what she describes as the end of the golden age of Palm Beach, a world of wealth, influence, and powerful people living inside their own closed social orbit.
Why do couples who genuinely love each other struggle to stay in love? Why does criticism from a partner hurt so deeply? And why do defensiveness and misunderstanding so often replace real communication? And how have changing expectations between men and women complicated marriage in ways our parents and grandparents never experienced?
