In this episode of the White House 1600 Sessions, Jonathan Alter, journalist and author of “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life,” talks with Stewart D. McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, about the remarkable journey of President Jimmy Carter from peanut farmer to Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Filmed at the First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C., the church home of the Carters while they lived in the White House, Stewart and Jonathan met with Rev. Julie Pennington-Russell who showed them rare memorabilia including the Carter family’s original membership cards, where Amy received baptism, and where the President taught adult Sunday school more than a dozen times during his presidency. Born in Plains, Georgia on October 1, 1924, President Carter grew up without running water or electricity. Eager to leave home, he graduated from the United States Naval Academy, married, and served in the U.S. Navy. He and his young wife and kids returned to Plains to help save the family farm after his father passed away. From there he took an interest in politics, working his way up from county boards to the Georgia State Senate to the Governor’s Mansion. Then he and Mrs. Carter launched into national politics, winning the 1976 election and moving to Washington, D.C. with their youngest child and only daughter, Amy. Known for a life of faith and service, the 39th President of the United States became the longest-lived president and half of the longest-married presidential couple in U.S. history. Stewart and Jonathan talk about the Carters’ time in the White House and the decades-long post-presidency they spent creating The Carter Center which works to alleviate human suffering around the world, and among many other things, building homes with Habitat for Humanity, and raising awareness about mental health and caregiving. https://lnkd.in/gjb8A-bR

There's a new Family First feature programme starting very soon called PulsePoint. As more and more families turn away from mainstream media sites, we want to fill that gap and put the spotlight on the latest news items and research that you need to be aware of. In other words, we’ll watch the news - so that you don’t have to. We’ll cut through the spin and uncover the real issues. We’ll be a trusted source of the latest news and research affecting families and social conservatives, covering politics, family, life issues, faith & religious freedom – both here and overseas. Each episode of the PulsePoint will cover the news or research that the mainstream media has ignored but which you need to know about…. and of course these tend to be social conservative issues that they ignore - or misrepresent. But we’ll also check the news that the mainstream media has reported, but which needs to be fact-checked or needs a counter view included to make it more balanced. We hope that PulsePoint will become a trusted and credible source of news for you and your family. The Family First team are looking forward to researching and reporting the stories that really matter to all of us. It will be much more than just headlines. Watch out for regular episodes of PulsePoint – starting soon – with Tumby Stowers, and available to watch on our website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and on our YouTube channel.

Join us as we meet the fifth son. You may have heard of the first four. Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 represent a Jew at various possible stages in his life's search for meaning and connection to G-d. And for your perhaps unneeded review, they are: 1) The Wise, 2) The Wicked, 3) The Simple, and 4) The One Who Doesn't Know How to Ask. Now, consider the fifth son. The fifth son is the one who's so distant, he's not even present at the seder. Not just the seder. He's not present for any Jewish ANYTHING. I'm not talking about alienated children (although that's an issue for sure) I'm talking about the ones who simply don't know the basics of being a Jew. Victims of darkness that only thickens through 250 years of assimilation. Not their fault. Blame is not my point. But that's where we are, we Jews. But this year seems different. This year, it seems, a legion of fifth sons are be seeking to join a seder, or to join any Jewish anything, wherever they are. Maybe they won't know how to ask a question. But PRESENT. Present, they will be. Listen for the knock. -------------------------------------------------- I write this because shining light of Jewish wisdom on souls deprived and thirsty for such wisdom is my matzah and butter. I'm Tuvia and I push out The Podcast Fellowship to the rising generation of Jewish young adults, looking to brighten up some darkness around here. Check us out. If you hear that knock, know that The Podcast Fellowship is a powerful resource for the next step. (Reflections heard in the name of Erin Stiebel)

It is a fundamental goal of society to afford everyone the chance for a long, productive life, but it is a challenge that we are not yet meeting, as life expectancy diverges enormously across states, counties, towns, and even neighborhoods. How do we extend longer, healthier lives to more Americans? As some might imagine, there is not one singular cause of these inequities. Research shows that they are the cumulative consequences of inequalities that begin before birth and extend into late life—and represent the cumulative impact of poverty and disadvantage. Until we contemplate the full scope of the challenge, it will be hard to offer anything more than piecemeal solutions. In this podcast episode from Stanford Center on Longevity, Transportation For America Director Beth Osborne discusses the impact of highways on surrounding communities and traffic safety for automobiles and pedestrians alike.

How would West Wing deal with this extraordinary political moment and crisis? Aaron Sorkin thinking outside the box. How do you break down "us and them" thinking? Stop the focus being on us and them. This article is brilliant.

6moI'm delighted that the First Baptist Church of Washington, D.C., could share our sanctuary and part of our rich story with the White House Historical Association. President Jimmy Carter was an active member of our church family for four years, and we look forward to sharing more about his time with First Baptist in the near future.
