What Do You Mean, "Fundamentalist?" | Season 1, Episode 1, "These Troubled Times" Podcast
YouTube video by Rachel Darnall

What do people really mean when they say “fundamentalist”? Is it a serious theological category—or just a slur used to dismiss religious people who take their faith seriously? I'm discussing this and so much more on my new podcast!

We bumped into 3 people from our church at the protest in Boise yesterday. In October, I arranged to meet up with another Christian family I know from a different church in the area. In July I went to the first No Kings protest with two people from my church. May our tribe increase! 🙏

I've been seeing a bunch of ads for independent news sources that promise non-inflammatory, non-partisan, "just the facts, ma'am" news, and usually I'm all in favor of stuff like that, but guys: this was the move in 2016, not 2026. You're way, way too late.

My 8yo showed me a song she made up on the piano. It's called "Holy Jingle Bells" and it's Jingle Bells with the pedal held down.

Coverture - which comes from the word "cover" - is the legal doctrine that when a man and woman marry, they become one flesh, and that one is the man. We see coverture all the time in period films like Pride & Prejudice. But did you know it also shows up in the Dick Van Dyke show?

If you want to do something about the Epstein files but calling a congressperson's office sounds intimidating, I turned my personal prep into a cheat-sheet on H.R. 4405 (aka the Epstein Files Transparency Act) so you can feel more prepared.

So I'm finally reading Project 2025 from the beginning, and I have to say, for a 950-page political manifesto it's a real page turner ... just for all the wrong reasons.
