Summary

“When I was 13, I went to the psych ward for the first time,” recalls Emi Nietfeld. After a childhood spent in manipulative therapy, institutional facilities, foster care, and even times of homelessness, Emi got into Harvard, and then went on to get a great job at Google. This is the classic American rags-to-riches story, of someone overcoming misery to find success and happiness, right? Not exactly. “Those perfect human interest stories are fictions,” she says. “We really do expect people to be perfect in a way that I knew I was not.” In this episode, the nuance of learning to accept one’s pain, and yet refusing to stand for it. ** Please be advised that this episode contains details that may be upsetting to some listeners including references to suicide, sexual assault, and disordered eating. ** Additional resources are available at:  SAMHSA National Sexual Violence Resource Center National Alliance for Eating Disorders Show Notes Resources mentioned this episode: Acceptance by Emi Nietfeld Quote from James Baldwin “Notes of a Native Son” PDF of Lee’s Interview Notes Transcription Link JOIN NSE+ Today!

Are you curious about the hidden side of everything? Then I have a podcast for you. I'm Stephen Dubner, host of Free Economics Radio. Each week we hear from some of the most fascinating scholars and thinkers as we tackle big topics like how whales became the face of environmental activism, how to succeed at failing, and whether public

transportation should be free. Go ahead. Listen to Freakonomics Radio wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, friends. Annie F. Downs here. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to

0:35.8

begin when it comes to reading scripture, I want to

0:38.0

invite you to read the Gospels with me every month.

0:41.0

That's Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

0:43.6

Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast is an invitation to slow down and spend

0:48.7

intentional time with Jesus through Scripture.

0:51.5

I started reading through the Gospels in a month because I kept trying

0:54.5

to read the whole Bible in a year and would find myself getting behind and getting frustrated.

0:58.9

So I asked myself, what if I just started with the Gospels? And it turns out I kept wanting to

1:04.3

read them over and over and it has changed my life. If you do three chapters a day for 30 days,

1:10.2

you get all four books read in a month,

1:12.1

and we've been doing that on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast for years now. Every day

1:17.4

on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast, we read three chapters, and then I end with a prayer.

1:22.4

That's it. It's simple, and each episode is around 15 minutes of your day. Every month,

1:27.3

we read a different version of

1:29.0

the four Gospels and in different order. So you can scroll back and pick your favorite,

1:33.4

or you can just hit play on today's episode and listen along with the version we've chosen

1:37.7

for that month. I say it often because I believe it. You don't have to be in the Gospels

1:42.4

every day to be changed, but every day

1:45.0

you're in the Gospels will change you. Subscribe today to the Let's Read the Gospels podcast and let's
