The Monday Monologue

Making My Minor My Major

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Mon, 21 May 2012 23:18:39 +0000

In today’s episode I talk about transitioning the time I spend writing from something I do as availability permits to one of my primary activities. It’s going to be a major part of my involvement with The Navigators in the near future, and as a result I need to start specifically reserving time for it each week.

Budgeting My Attention

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:45:23 +0000

In this week’s episode I talk about the struggle to give my attention only to what needs it in that moment rather than allowing it to be hijacked by so many smaller, less urgent matters. Technology is a major culprit in this battle. I’ve tried to come up with some creative solutions to keep myself from getting lost in a sea of digital clutter.

If you’re a student at FSU taking finals this week, good luck on all your tests!

To Your Health

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 03:04:59 +0000

In this episode I follow up on a question I received from a friend who read my birthday essay last week. He was interested to know how I planned on becoming physically and spiritually healthy, something I mentioned as a goal of mine for the coming year.

See that. I actually do care about my readers and listeners. Ask me questions and I’ll address them, maybe even “on air.”

I know I sound a bit disinterested in this episode. I’m actually just running out of steam.

Links from this episode:

Thanks to Austin for the great question. He asked me about this during Old Man Breakfast, a 6:30am Friday feast of eggs, grits, toast and coffee with some great friends.
Here’s the birthday essay I’m talking about. I briefly mention wanting to become physically and spiritually healthy in the second to last paragraph.
To help me get to sleep I’ve been using an iPhone app called Brainwave. In order to comfortably listen to its tones while trying to sleep I’m using the SleepPhones that my roommate Zack got me for my birthday.
When I memorize scripture I use the process I learned through the topical memory system.
I will soon be a contributing writer to Florida Navs.

You Heard It Here First

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 03:08:43 +0000

In this week’s episode I talk about how being a blogger adds a wrinkle to communication in a dating relationship.

A special welcome to my new ~~stalkers~~ listeners who are friends with Kathy. Glad to have you here.

Sorry for the scratchy spots in this recording. I had my MacBook on my lap and forgot that the mic is easily disturbed when you move your computer around.

Green with Envy

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 02:50:05 +0000

In this episode I talk about my recent brush with envy, how it so easily captures my heart. It feels good to have gotten this off my chest.

I recorded this podcast while out for an evening stroll in my neighborhood. Can you tell when I start walking uphill?

Links from this episode:

My sister Alison turns 24 this week.
I wrote a monster post about leading the ’08 spring break trip to Chicago.
The man I planned that Chicago trip with was a man named Larry Hope (pictured on the right). He’s still a dear friend. I’m so glad I got to see him in Kentucky last year.
Toward the end of summer ’08 I wrote about my decision to leave my position as a vocational campus minister. I haven’t read that piece since posting it. I don’t think I want to.
I shared 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

All Grown Up

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 02:20:12 +0000

Another unscheduled hiatus has come to an end. In today’s episode I talk about growing up, how it means different things for different people. I muse over the differences between being grown up and feeling grown up.

This episode is a bit self-indulgent and I ramble on more than usual. I think there are a few good points in there somewhere.

Links from this episode:

This week’s links are all on the subject of prolonged/suspended adolescence.

On the subject of prolonged adolescence, John Starke wrote a great piece called Letter to a (Frustrated) Single Young Woman that encapsulates the areas in which young men of my generation (yes, including me) need to mature.
Donald Miller posed some ideas for how to overcome suspended adolescence.
This mammoth article from the New York Times goes into great detail on “the changing timetable for adulthood.”

Risky Business

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:54:05 +0000

Happy almost Valentine’s Day to you. In today’s episode I talk about the risks of publishing something personal when you know it will be read by people who know you well.

The audio quality on this episode is much better because I used Quicktime instead of my iPhone. I should probably do that more often.

The Sequel

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:36:06 +0000

It’s a great day for podcasting! In this week’s episode I talk about the two-part message series I’m teaching for the students of the FSU Navigators. I gave the first message last Thursday. Now I have the challenge of creating a compelling sequel, which I’ll teach this coming Thursday.

Links from this episode:

Part one of the message series will be online soon. I’ll update this post with the link once it is.
The FSU Navigators Podcast is pretty sweet. Messages and testimonies from staff, students, and guest speakers. It has a Facebook page too.
Recordings of several of my Nav Night messages are available online if you’re interested.
Shaun and Sara are the reason so many people missed my first talk. Congratulations to the happy couple, who got married this past Saturday!

Non-Negotiables

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:00:08 +0000

Happy MLK Day! In today’s episode I talk about how we all have personal non-negotiables, things we choose to hang on to no matter what the cost. I’ve found that I often choose my non-negotiables without careful consideration. That lack of intentional decision-making can lead to trouble.

I’m teaching this week and next for the FSU Navigators campus ministry.

The Ebb and Flow of Faith

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:38:36 +0000

Well it’s about time. In this episode I talk about how circumstances, especially traumatic one, affect our beliefs. I illustrate the point with an old Chris Rice song and an excerpt from a book by Elizabeth Elliot.

Ironically enough Chris Rice’s record label is Eb+Flo Records.

Spoiler Alert: Topic of my Message Series

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:00:25 +0000

Man, it’s cold in Connecticut. In this week’s episode I share the topic of my two-week message series I’m scheduled to teach for the FSU Navigators early on in the spring 2012 semester.

I think I ought to clarify the final spoiler. Each December I begin to evaluate whether I should stay on staff with the Navs in the upcoming fall semester and, if the answer is yes, how I can best serve the ministry. I’ve started that process for fall 2012. There’s a good chance I won’t make a decision until after I’ve given these talks.

The Blogging Sweet Spot

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:29:48 +0000

If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen any of my writing from my time in Kentucky, this will hopefully shed some light on the situation. Blogging is a writing medium all its own.

Links from this episode:

The first long blog post I mentioned is about the FSU Navigators Chicago spring break trip from back in 2008.
The second such post is Kyle’s and Nicki’s love story. This is still one of my all-time favorite blog posts.
Here’s the guest post by Patrick Gines on creative spaces.
And just for the heck of it, here’s the other three guest posts from the past month: Zack Latham’s short story, Brittney Harlacher’s essay about God’s creativity displayed through her kids, and Bryan Zhang’s essay on God as our Father.

The Nature of Loneliness

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:04:14 +0000

It’s so good to be back together. Let’s never fight again, okay? (Wait, no, that’s not right…) Today I talk about loneliness and how it comes at you at odd times. This is something I noticed during my time away from Tallahassee. I’ve shared it with a few people but would like to get more thoughts on the subject. I can think of at least two listeners who probably have a lot to say on the subject, unfortunately.

I think toward the end I babbled even more than usual. Just when I thought I was getting good at this.

Initial Thoughts on the Navigators National Conference

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:29:28 +0000

Coming to you from the Qdoba in Louisville. I wrote the talking point notes on a napkin. It seemed appropriate. In this episode I talk to you about the Navigators National Conference, which I attended over the past four days. These are some initial thoughts, the ones that are on the forefront of my mind and the ones I could squeeze into an under-ten-minute podcast episode.

Links from this episode:

The website for the National Conference will have lots of content on it like videos from the various talks.
My friend Luke has a blog and is on Twitter.
The talk on Moses and the promised land was given by Ruth Haley Barton.

Quality of Light

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 02:46:56 +0000

This week’s podcast episode was inspired by yesterday’s sermon at Wildwood Church given by Jay Eastman. Jay is from Berlin and while I heard his name many times while I was there I had never met him until this weekend. He taught from Matthew 5 with what I thought was some intriguing insight.

Sorry this episode is so dang long. That’s what happens when I have my iPhone up to my ear where I can’t read how long I’ve been recording.

Links from this episode:

Jay Eastman’s sermon on Matthew 5:13-16 is not yet available and due to some of what he talked about I’m not sure it will be. I’ll add a link to it if it appears on the Wildwood Podcast in the future.

Great Aspirations

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 02:35:45 +0000

The podcast is back after an unplanned hiatus. Today I talk about planning my upcoming trip to Kentucky, both for the Navigators National Conference and my writing retreat.

I still haven’t been able to fix the Facebook audio player integration. Maybe I’ll find time this week to tackle that project.

I’m attempting to order letterpress calling cards from Hoban Cards (template number six). Shawn Blanc recommended them.
Joe recommended I read The Death of Ivan Ilych, Franny and Zooey, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Bagombo Snuff Box (which I mispronounced terribly because Joe misspelled the title in his message to me).

The Tyranny of the Urgent

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:44:34 +0000

In this week’s episode I talk about what has been called by people wiser than me “the tyranny of the urgent.” Essentially it refers to when deadlines crowd out the things that are really important to you. I have a plan to combat the problem.

Wouldn’t you know it. As soon as I brag about my fancy Facebook audio player I find out that Facebook changed the Open Graph protocol such that my code no longer produce the player. Ugh.

Here’s the Wheel Illustration. This Thursday I’m teaching on fellowship, one of the four spokes.
I’m pretty certain the first guy to coin the phrase “the tyranny of the urgent” was Charles E. Hummel in a booklet by the same name.

Team Player

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:13:23 +0000

I recorded this episode yesterday but didn’t have time to post it until today. In this episode I talk about the Navigators staff meeting I’m attending in Ocala, Florida this week. Specifically, I speak about how I hope to be a team player again instead of a loner in terms of how I approach college ministry.

Reaffirmation

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:56:10 +0000

In today’s episode I talk about my experience teaching at the FSU Navigators beach retreat this past weekend. I lament my relatively few teaching opportunities and dream of a job in which I can use all my skills on a regular basis.

I have no idea what that terrible high pitched noise is. That’s what I get for using GarageBand.

Leadership Workshop Preparation

This week I talk about a workshop I’m creating and will teach this Saturday at a college ministry beach retreat. The workshop is on leadership, a subject I’ve never taught before. I spend most of this episode talking about the resources I’m using and a little about the direction I’m choosing to take with the material.

Ten Years Ago

Today on the podcast I recall the events of September 11, 2001 as seen through my eyes. It’s hard to believe it was ten years ago. It’s hard to believe I was a seventeen-year-old senior in high school ten years ago.

Rough Thoughts on Psalm 102

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:35:59 +0000

I haven’t had too much time to process these thoughts–or any other thoughts in recent times for that matter–but in this episode I’m going to share some first impressions. Yesterday my pastor gave a message on Psalm 102 that I found to be especially applicable to my year. I also give a brief update on my ridiculously busy month.

In this week’s episode I talk about my recent experience casting a vision for the Wildwood Young Professionals. I candidly share my dislike for the role in general and how I’m really just imitating what I’ve seen others do. I also give a brief update on my property management situation.

I will eventually start using a better microphone. Sorry for the crackling. Also, sorry for my loud roommates.

Installing Mac OS X Lion

andrew@jaledwith.com (Andrew Ledwith) — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:02:30 +0000

In this week’s episode I ask that you indulge me as I geek out and talk about my experiences installing Mac OS X Lion on two different Macs. Even if you’re not into that sort of thing, the first story is pretty interesting even without any technical knowledge.

At one point in this podcast I say that I wish my computer was roaring like it used to. I apologize for the unintentional terrible pun.

Just for grins, I counted how many bounces it took for Chrome to open when I went to write this post. It bounced fifty times before opening. Yes, fifty. Ugh.

Programming note: I’ve changed the name again and for the last time, I promise! I’m going with The Monday Monologue.

Upcoming Social Media Presentation
