    EP 214: Deescalating the Chaos - 4 key reasons information feels confusing

    “Anything that I believe that is true is because of His grace towards me. It’s not because of me and how good I am.” - Rita Rogers Titus 3 reminds us that our hope is found in Jesus. Not in any political leader, online commentator, or the loudest voice. We’re not called or equipped to know everything and we should be weary of anyone lacking the humility to admit the same. Christian, stay consistent. Regardless of whether it’s Biden or Trump, Michael Knowles or Tucker Carlson… we need to be holding people accountable and sharing truth.

    EP 213: Media Lies have Consequences - no one will believe you when you do tell the truth.

    Once again, the world (online and off) is a mess. Thankfully, especially as Christian’s, we have a good God who has given us the tools to sort through the mess.  In today’s episode Rita begins by reading the Aesop Fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf as a reminder that lying comes with consequences and shares some examples of online commentators who are either willfully or ignorantly spreading lies in order to justify, defend, and/or further their position.  “Reckless speech pierces like a sword, while the tongue of the wise brings healing.” - Proverbs 12:18 In a world where sharing truth is becoming the exception rather than the standard…how are the sources you’re choosing to consume information from measuring up to scripture?  SPONSORS: EQUIP FOODS Code: RITA15 (15% off all orders) Link: www.equipfoods.com/rita15 ROWE CASA  Code: BOOMCLAP (20% off first order) Link: https://www.rowecasaorganics.com/?sca_ref=3468709.V2CVRBlBV1 PODCAST MENTIONS: EP 210: American Spirt, Christian Faith & the power of never telling a lie https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-boom-clap-podcast/id1558282990?i=1000755962928 EP 211: Classical Ideals: why beauty, good art & children's literature matter with Megha Lillywhite https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-boom-clap-podcast/id1558282990?i=1000758653791 The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Other Aesop Fables, Leah Osei https://a.co/d/06iE7Ftf Liz Wheeler, Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW42QMyjyHo/?igsh=MWJ0aXF0M3JkNmN0bw== Michael Knowles, Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW7cgdqmgQ_/?igsh=MWR5ZW5iY3d4aXNwdA== Tucker on Trump's Desecration of Easter and a Warning to Christians Everywhere https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tucker-carlson-show/id1719657632?i=1000759925199 EP 170: Do you have the capacity to 'keep up?'...

    EP 212: The Secret to Staying Close to Your Adult Kids with Heather Mills-Schwarzen

    Heather Mills Schwarzen of To Sow A Seed is a mom of 10 children (ages 5 to 28yrs), wife of 39yrs, homeschooler, and home-based missionary. Heather has an abundance of life experience in parent and adult children relationships, which is probably why she doesn’t shy away from sharing her very difficult relationship with her own mother and even the mistakes and apologies she’s made in parenting her own children. The world we’re parenting in today has significantly changed - going no contact with a parent or being estranged from a family member seems to be all too common - but scripture, Jesus, and our responsibilities haven’t changed.  Heather reminds us that Gods heart is always for reconciliation. He’s working on us and through us until the very end.

    EP 211: Classical Ideals: why beauty, good art & children’s literature matter with Megha Lillywhite

    Megha Lillywhite, scientist turned children’s book illustrator and writer, sits down with Rita for a short but very rich episode. Even if you haven’t experienced it for yourself, you’ve likely felt or at least seen the shift from the modern to old, sterile to ‘vintage’ that is happening. Megha and Rita discuss how parents can model what they want for their children - reading books, appreciating nature, creating art - training ourselves right along with them. The importance of beauty, be it a children’s book or our environment, really does matter.  SPONSORS: ROWE CASA  Code: BOOMCLAP (20% off first order) Link: https://www.rowecasaorganics.com/?sca_ref=3468709.V2CVRBlBV1 Equip Foods Code: RITA15 (15% off all orders) Link: www.equipfoods.com/rita15 GUEST: Megha Lillywhite Substack classicalideals.press Instagram https://www.instagram.com/meghalillywhite?igsh=MTFseTMwc3h4bHJtMA== PODCAST MENTIONS: New Masters Academy https://www.nma.art Aesthetic Longevity and the deeper truth behind the Preference for "Vintage" https://www.classicalideals.press/p/aesthetic-longevity-and-deeper-truth Beauty: A Very Short Introduction, Roger Scruton https://a.co/d/00JjGURi Home Education, Charlotte Mason https://a.co/d/07pGAVEQ Peter Rabbit Classic Gift Set, Beatrix Potter https://a.co/d/0c0hpaX1 Handbook of Nature-Study, Anna Botsford Comstock https://a.co/d/0fLkFuht What it’s like to live in a child friendly society https://www.classicalideals.press/p/what-its-like-to-live-in-a-child Fairy Tales, Hans Christian Andersen https://a.co/d/00T8J3rP FIND RITA/ SUPPORT THE PODCAST: https:theboomclappodcast.square.site www.ritarogersco.com www.instagram.com/boomclappodcast www.instagram.com/ritarogersco

    EP 210: American Spirt, Christian Faith & the power of never telling a lie

    When you look at the current events: the Epstein Files, war with Iran, antisemitism, etc., the world can feel pretty confusing. As a Christian, with an eternal perspective, we know why the world feels shaky but even amongst believers, there is debate. Rita reads a few excerpts from C.S. Lewis’, Mere Christianity and draws parallels between historical text and timeless literature and the confusion in the world right now. As much as the government and media would like us to believe the answer is a simple one, just pick a side…it feels like people are ready to have deeper, more complicated conversations. Maybe, as C.S. Lewis said: "If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.” SPONSORS: ROWE CASA  Code: BOOMCLAP (20% off first order) Link: https://www.rowecasaorganics.com/?sca_ref=3468709.V2CVRBlBV1 Equip Foods Code: RITA15 (15% off all orders) Link: www.equipfoods.com/rita15 PODCAST MENTIONS: Rita Rogers Co https://ritarogersco.com Mere Christianity, C.S.

    EP 208: New isn’t Always Better: how to think about history with Tom FitzGerald

    Do you find history fascinating but also a little overwhelming or maybe a bit boring? Tom FitzGerald didn’t set out to be a teacher but that’s exactly what he’s ended up doing in an unconventional way. Sharing his love of history and philosophy in a way that helps others learn. His captivating Instagram videos prove that history is anything but boring. Tom believes instead of telling you what to think it’s better to encourage you to learn how to think! Rita and Tom touch on revisionist history, the Roman Empire, A.I., our society’s lack of discomfort, how new isn’t always better, and much more! If you weren’t already excited about history, this conversation will change your perspective!

    Are immigration laws hurting U.S. citizens? With the issue of Immigration being front and center recently, Rita welcomes Elizabeth Liu back to the podcast. Beginning with Covid and lockdowns in China in 2022, to the long and cumbersome process of getting their whole family to the United States, legally, in 2026…Elizabeth shares insight into the difficulties they face and the benefits they forfeit in trying to do things the ‘right’ way. Whether it be the Epstein files, A.I., aliens, or immigration…be firm in your foundation.
