“Who are you when you’re hungry?”

I love this Snickers tagline––partially because it’s funny, but mostly because it’s totally true. We all act differently when we’re a little hangry (so hungry we get a little angry). Actually, I think we all change...

17% of Americans listen to podcasts at least once a month. This is double––double––the percentage it was just a handful of years ago! Radio shows like NPR’s This American Life and Serial have simply gone viral. Serial shattered download records to reach...

The Lord will guide you always;

he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land

and will strengthen your frame.

You will be like a well-watered garden,
