A 3-part series on Simple Living Works! Podcast and The Common Good Podcast with co-hosts Lee Van Ham and Jerry Iversen.

** SLW! episode 111 for mid-April, 2018, of SLW! features part 1 of our conversation with Susan Taylor of Just Money Advisors about her book “What About Our Money: A Faith Response” — Wrestling with Systems Where Money Is Boss

** In early May, TCGP #95 features Susan part 2 on Matters of the Heart.

** In mid-May, SLW! #112 features Susan part 3 on Giving and Investing.

LEE: Have you ever written a short money autobiography or told another person how your views on money have been shaped since childhood? Few people talk in this way about money with even close friends or family. When it comes to giving money, sharing it, what feelings stir in you? reluctance? deep satisfaction? Do you talk with people about how much you give or how it feels? If you invest money, how do you feel about your investments? Most people have positive feelings when their investments gain more money. Negative feelings when they lose. But some people go a different path and invest money and their emotions primarily to bring more good to the world. These topics are all part of today’s podcast. Stay with us.

In part 1 with Susan, we gave an extensive bio of her many achievements and involvements. Please check that episode or see her bio on the Natural Investments website. Read her bio in back of her book, p.107.

Also hear our earlier conversation with Susan on TCGP Episode 78 : Susan Taylor of Just Money Advisors on Relating to Money in a Toxic Culture and Parenting Children about Money.

Today Jerry’s conversation with Susan grows out of Chapters 5, 6 and 7 of her book, chapters full of delectable ideas about giving and sharing, investing that makes doing good a higher goal than maximizing returns, and connecting our money decisions explicitly with our faith.

Listeners, if you haven’t yet ordered your copy of Susan’s book, do it. The United Methodist Women commissioned Susan to write “What About Our Money? A Faith Response,” so order it from them. https://www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/mission-u/money.

Secondly, if you haven’t yet become acquainted with Faith and Money Network, make a point to visit their website, faithandmoney.org.

LEE RESPONSE:
Choosing a bank is a spiritual practice
Taxes as redistribution and as investments
Redistribution is a practice of jubilee – Jubilee engages in redistribution
Women empowered through money and faith – Jubilee Circles involved in women’s empowerment—not just a mother’s day but ongoing revolutionary effort to change minds of women and men to live in a different relationship of sharing and cooperation instead of domination.

After this podcast you’ll be smarter about why and how single payer will serve us far better than the costly, confusing system we have now. You’ll know how you can help make it real asap.

We urge you to visit the website of California Health Care for All http://www.healthcareforall.org for helpful information and how you can help build momentum for this change in your area.

Also, on a related healthcare issue, Ava has written a well-informed, sensitive book, Peace beyond Abortion. It gets beyond the tragic frameworks used in much of the pro-choice vs pro-life debate which cannot be helpful to thousands of women (and men) caught in the excruciatingly difficult decision regarding a pregnancy. Ava’s book will help.

LEE: Just how tightly is your security connected to the amount of money you are making? Or how much money you’ve saved? Are you anxious every day about money? Do you worry that you’ll never be able to retire because you will need more money? Money has great power to surface our fears, anxieties, and insecurity? Did I say “insecurity?” Yes, isn’t it interesting that a major overseer of Wall Street is named the Securities and Exchange Commission, suggesting that money and security are tightly connected? In our conversation today Susan Taylor does a great job of getting us to think about where we anchor our security. Clue:  It’s not just a matter of your pocketbook. Stay with us.

I want to riff a bit on personal connections with Susan. I met Susan through two common interests: (1) how we relate to money. Deepening our understanding of the role we give to money in our lives is a core work of Faith and Money Network, in D.C. Susan is vice-president of the board. I have gone to many Faith and Money Network events over the years and served on the leadership team of several of them. I urge you to get in contact with them. The director, Mike Little, is a friend and will be glad you contacted him. Tell him how you learned about Faith and Money Network. That, too, will interest him. And (2) our interest in promoting the economic teachings that go with the sabbath and jubilee holy days in the Bible.

1st-of-March Bonus: Don Hall on Transitioning Our Communities into Earth-Size and Livable for All Life

We know many changes MUST be made to keep Earth livable. At the same time, so many changes (some in the wrong direction) are underway that we tire and need to practice resilience every week. It is in that context that we welcome Don Hall and the Transitions Movement.

Don Hall has had the good fortune to participate in the Transition Movement in a variety of capacities over the past decade. Initially serving for two years as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for Transition Colorado, he went on to found and direct Transition Sarasota from 2010 to 2016. During that time, Don delivered more than 60 Transition Talks, screened over 40 Films for a Future, hosted dozens of “reskilling” workshops, led an effort that harvested nearly 250,000 pounds of organic produce for those in need, organized six annual community-wide Eat Local Week celebrations, and compiled an Eat Local Guide with detailed listings for more than 250 related businesses and organizations. A certified Transition Trainer and experienced facilitator, Don was named Co-Director of Transition US in 2017. He holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Leadership from Naropa University and currently lives in Sarasota, Florida.

TransitionUS.org connects you quickly with stories of transition going on around the country. Key words that pop up include: Transitions, Local Communities, Increase Resilience, Inner Transitions.

The Transitions approach states simply that three dynamics underway require urgent action: Peak Oil, Climate Change and the Economic Crisis.

Jubilee Circles function as transition groups!

A 3-part series on  Simple Living Works! Podcast and The Common Good Podcast with co-hosts Lee Van Ham and Jerry Iversen.

** This is episode 111 for mid-April, 2018, of SLW! We feature part 1 of our conversation with Susan Taylor of Just Money Advisors about her book “What About Our Money: A Faith Response” — wrestling with Systems.

** In early May, TCGP #95 features Susan part 2 on Matters of the Heart. PREVIEW NOW

** In mid-May, SLW!  #112 features Susan part 3 on Giving and Investing.

LEE: So many of us want strong, solid advice on using our money to advance our values. We know money talks, so we want it to be saying what is in our hearts to say. We want our money to speak up for our planet, not the corporations destroying species, air, land, and water. We want our money to speak up for justice and sharing and caring. But there’s so much advice. Who can we trust? Finding advice that truly does what we want can be challenging. Here’s some good news: we completely trust the person we’re talking with today. We trust her so much that we are planning not just this podcast episode with her, but the next two as well!! Stay with.

Thanks for the work you’ve put out, Jerry, to interview Susan Taylor about her new book. I believe we’re bringing our listeners something really important with these three episodes. And, listeners, I urge you to get a copy of Susan’s book that these episodes elaborate on, “What About Our Money? A Faith Response.” It treats so many money questions in such a readable, sensitive manner.

A copy of Susan’s new study book is available from United Methodist Women at https://www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/mission-u/money

I think it’s important right here, in this first of three episodes with Susan, to introduce her further in terms of her many achievements and involvements. I very much liked the introduction that the NaturalInvestments.com gives Susan. So here it is.

Susan is part of the team at Just Money Advisors, Inc., a Louisville, KY, financial planning firm that specializes in socially responsible and community investing, working with her husband, Andy Loving. Susan writes about issues of money and spirituality, publishing in such magazines as Sojourners and Presbyterians Today, and writes regularly for Faith and Money Network, a Washington, DC, nonprofit organization. She has led workshops for parents, helping them teach their children to deal with money in ways that acknowledge their values and foster personal integrity. She also works with groups of children and high school students around questions of finance, faith, and the vital role of economic justice in creating and sustaining peace.

A native Kentuckian, Susan is a third generation graduate of Western Kentucky University (1980). In 1997, she earned a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Maryland, College Park, focusing on labor markets and income inequality. From 1996 to 2000, she worked as an economist in Corporate Treasury for Bank of America, based in Charlotte, NC. As a corporate economist, she forecasted and interpreted economic data, such as unemployment rates and industrial output, as well as presenting economic briefings to customer groups throughout the Southeast. Within the bank, she was known to consistently represent the perspective of low income and working people in her readings of the data, highlighting the key question: how will this affect people?

Honoring family commitments, she and Andy returned to Kentucky in 2000, establishing the Louisville office of Just Money Advisors, Inc., which now serves clients in more than 25 states.

Susan is a committed mother of two teenaged children, public school supporter, member of Jeff Street Baptist Community at Liberty, animal lover (sharing her home with three cats and a dog), and pianist. She is vice-president of the board of directors of Faith and Money Network in Washington, DC.

Listen to this high energy, informative conversation with Julie Trager & Ava Torres-Bueno, two advocates for single payer healthcare. Their backgrounds in healthcare bring deep knowledge to their convictions. They tell how all of us can be served better and cheaper through California’s single payer plans.

Julie and Ava answer the objections to single payer that we often hear and explain how those objections come from the money-interests (insurance, pharma) who want to keep the status quo … and protect their profits. After this podcast you’ll be smarter about why and how single payer will serve us far better than the costly, confusing system we have now. You’ll know how you can help make it real asap.

We urge you to visit the website of California Health Care for All http://www.healthcareforall.org for helpful information and how you can help build momentum for this change in your area.

Also, on a related healthcare issue, Ava has written a well-informed, sensitive book, Peace beyond Abortion. It gets beyond the tragic frameworks used in much of the pro-choice vs pro-life debate which cannot be helpful to thousands of women (and men) caught in the excruciatingly difficult decision regarding a pregnancy. Ava’s book will help.

Episode 110: Mark A. Burch is a Canadian author, speaker and transformational educator. He has published seven books about voluntary simplicity and sustainable livelihood, including The Hidden Door: Mindful Sufficiency as an Alternative to Extinction; Stepping Lightly: Simplicity for People and the Planet and The Simplicity Exercises: A Sourcebook for Simplicity Educators.  Euterra Rising is his debut novel.

He has practiced simple living since the 1960s, and since 1995, has offered presentations, workshops and courses on voluntary simplicity. He is the retired Director of the Campus Sustainability Office for The University of Winnipeg, former Co-Director of the Simplicity Practice and Resource Centre, and former Instructional Fellow with the Canadian School of Peacebuilding in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

1st-of-March Bonus: Don Hall on Transitioning Our Communities into Earth-Size and Livable for All Life

We know many changes MUST be made to keep Earth livable. At the same time, so many changes (some in the wrong direction) are underway that we tire and need to practice resilience every week. It is in that context that we welcome Don Hall and the Transitions Movement.

Don Hall has had the good fortune to participate in the Transition Movement in a variety of capacities over the past decade. Initially serving for two years as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for Transition Colorado, he went on to found and direct Transition Sarasota from 2010 to 2016. During that time, Don delivered more than 60 Transition Talks, screened over 40 Films for a Future, hosted dozens of “reskilling” workshops, led an effort that harvested nearly 250,000 pounds of organic produce for those in need, organized six annual community-wide Eat Local Week celebrations, and compiled an Eat Local Guide with detailed listings for more than 250 related businesses and organizations. A certified Transition Trainer and experienced facilitator, Don was named Co-Director of Transition US in 2017. He holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Leadership from Naropa University and currently lives in Sarasota, Florida.

TransitionUS.org connects you quickly with stories of transition going on around the country. Key words that pop up include: Transitions, Local Communities, Increase Resilience, Inner Transitions.

The Transitions approach states simply that three dynamics underway require urgent action: Peak Oil, Climate Change and the Economic Crisis.

Jubilee Circles function as transition groups!

EUTERRA RISING: THE LAST UTOPIA

Euterra Rising is the story of a 23rd century culture rising from the ashes of the 21st century Ruination of consumer culture and the Great Forgetting that followed loss of the Internet. This is the story of the Euterran civilization from its emergence amidst crisis to the continuing challenges it must overcome as it navigates a future without fossil fuels or a stable climate. Euterra also faces threats posed by remnant groups such as the Brotherhood who still cling to the values of the past and who pursue them with ruthless desperation. When the Brotherhood discovers Euterra, two worldviews, two different value systems, and two societies collide.

We know many changes MUST be made to keep Earth livable. At the same time, so many changes (some in the wrong direction) are underway that we tire and need to practice resilience every week. It is in that context that we welcome Don Hall and the Transitions Movement.

Don Hall has had the good fortune to participate in the Transition Movement in a variety of capacities over the past decade. Initially serving for two years as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for Transition Colorado, he went on to found and direct Transition Sarasota from 2010 to 2016. During that time, Don delivered more than 60 Transition Talks, screened over 40 Films for a Future, hosted dozens of “reskilling” workshops, led an effort that harvested nearly 250,000 pounds of organic produce for those in need, organized six annual community-wide Eat Local Week celebrations, and compiled an Eat Local Guide with detailed listings for more than 250 related businesses and organizations. A certified Transition Trainer and experienced facilitator, Don was named Co-Director of Transition US in 2017. He holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Leadership from Naropa University and currently lives in Sarasota, Florida.

TransitionUS.org connects you quickly with stories of transition going on around the country. Key words that pop up include: Transitions, Local Communities, Increase Resilience, Inner Transitions.

The Transitions approach states simplely that three dynamics underway require urgent action: Peak Oil, Climate Change and the Economic Crisis.

•Transitions, Local Communities, Increase Resilience, Inner Transitions.
• Peak Oil, Climate Change and the Economic Crisis require urgent action
• It is better to plan and be prepared, than be taken by surprise
• Industrial society has lost the resilience to be able to cope with shocks to its systems
• We have to act together and we have to act now
• Using our creativity and cooperation to unleash the collective genius within our local communities will lead to a more abundant, connected and healthier future for all.

Jubilee Circles function as transition groups!

*Simpler Formats for 2018–SLW! Weekly Digest has been discontinued and the SLW! Podcast will be reduced to one episode per month, issued on the 15th. The complete SLW! Monthly Digest on the SLW! site will continue to feature the latest posts from colleague organizations and will be updated weekly. Simpler Living Weekly Nudge will feature offerings from SLW!

The Common Good Podcast Ep. 92: For Black History Month, author of the new “Light, Bright, Damn Near White: Stories and Reflections of a Multi-Racial Black Man’s Battle with Racism in America” on the power of white in a multi-color humanity

The person we interview in this episode has written a powerful book that we hope you’ll consider your assigned reading for February, Black History Month. After you listen to Richard Lawrence, you’ll want to read his story in the newly released, “Light, Bright, Damn Near White.”

The power of white affects so many actions and policies. With racist meanness in the news frequently, Richard Lawrence really helps us think about how we have been favored or oppressed by whiteness.

As a campus minister when Selma rocketed into national news, Richard traveled there with students. Later he served a congregation on Chicago’s southside from which he worked with Operation P.U.S.H (Jesse Jackson) and headed a project that attracted Martin Luther King, Jr., to join in a strategic demonstration. More recently, Richard has worked tirelessly on affordable housing. His entire life has been dedicated to the work of social justice. Having recently become part of the San Diego Jubilee Circle, he works for ecological and economic justice that aims for nothing less than living within the limits of our one planet.

Scheduled for mid-February is Richard Heinberg of the Post-Carbon Institute. Future episodes of Simpler OneEarth Living feature educator and author Mark Burch; Don Hall of Transitions USA; and Susan Taylor of Just Financial Advisors on her new book “What About Our Money.”

Simpler Formats for 2018–SLW! Weekly Digest will be discontinued and the SLW! Podcast will be reduced to one episode per month, issued on the 15th. The complete SLW! Monthly Digest on the SLW! site will continue to feature the latest posts from colleague organizations and will be updated weekly. Simpler Living Weekly Nudge will feature offerings from SLW! It comes as your free subscription to  SLW! Blog.  The Daily Nudge comes by email (send NUDGE to SimpleLivingworks@yahoo.com) or by Twitter @GeraldIversen. Choose the options that work for you.

Subscribers to SLW! Podcast will receive The Common Good Podcast (TCGP)–which I produce and co-host–on the 1st of the month. Likewise, subscribers to TCGP will receive SLW! Podcast on the 15th as a BONUS. So, SLW! Podcast subscribers will continue to receive two episodes per month. This makes good sense since the missions of both SLW! and Jubilee OneEarth Economics are so complementary and the two work together closely. For example, I blog on the Jubilee site at CasaJubileo.org occasionally. Your comments on these changes are welcome.

Bonus: Derek and Nancy Casady of The Climate Mobilization Confront Climate Crises
Earth’s climate and livability are the biggest issue before us in 2018! That’s why our first episode of the year brings you the articulate voices of Nancy and Derek Casady. Listeners, you’ll hear their stories of why, after all the great experiences of their lives to date, they are now ardently devoted to mobilizing more of us to reverse climate change—still doable, but only if we mobilize like the Allied Powers did in WWII. Hence the name Climate Mobilization. Why should war mobilize us more fervently than working against aggressive powers destroying Earth’s livability?

Hence the name Climate Mobilization. Why should war against enemies mobilize us more fervently than working against aggressive powers destroying Earth’s livability?

Derek has had many shining moments in California politics through his activism in the Democratic Party. (Read about them here.) Nancy has had many shining moments in the organic, healthy food system, including directing the excellent Organic Market in the Ocean Beach Neighborhood of San Diego. She was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to the California Food and Agriculture Board. (Learn more about Nancy here.) Now Derek and Nancy work together directing The Climate Mobilization, a great organization with strong action to reverse climate change.

Nancy and Derek describe why The Climate Mobilization is their choice for devoted action. They describe the national strategy and the city strategies. Might the Climate Mobilization Project also be the vehicle for your devotion to Earth?
