Welcome to season 1 of the Necessary Trouble podcast! Each week we read a chapter from a book on writing craft, write from it, and take turns critiquing one another’s words. We also discuss what we loved from the book and what we are reading, (because we are always reading).

This season we are discussing Marilyn McEntyre’s Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies. The book began as a series of lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary and developed into a thoughtful examination of how to read, speak, and write faithfully, especially as followers of Christ.

    Ep 7: Love the Long Sentence
    2026/10/20

    Marilyn McEntyre says long sentences demand more of us. They slow us down and open us up.

    “It prevents us from leaping to conclusions, though it invites us to consider possibilities. it schools us in the very patience it demands.”

    Ep 6: Sharing Stories
    2026/10/06

    Callie starts off our episode on Sharing Stories with this gem:

    "Stories are how I breathe, how I live, everything I think, everything I do. As long as I have a story for it, I can keep going."

    McEntyre says stories equip us for living and even for survival.

    “At their best, if they are doing what they are meant to do, stories take us places we might not otherwise consent to go.”

    Join us as we discuss the stories we share through literature and around the table with family, and the ways story complicates and enriches our lives.
