Guest: Saru Jayaraman, Co-Founder of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC United), Director of the Food Labor Research Center, University of California, Berkeley, Author of “Forked: A New Standard for American Dining” Here in the US, diners are expected to tip their server at a sit-down restaurant. But if you’ve travelled abroad, you know that’s not really true in most other places. And there’s a movement here in America to get rid of tipping, too. Some say it’s unfair to other workers at the restaurant, or that it encourages discrimination or that it’s just antiquated.

Perfectly Human: Finding Joy in Sorrow

Guest: Sarah Williams, Professor in the History of Christianity, Regent College, Author of “Perfectly Human: Nine Months with Cerian” Pregnancy and childbirth are not easy, but I know so many mothers who say the beauty of having a new baby is worth all the pain and discomfort. And that’s what makes Sarah Williams’ story so unusual. Even when she learned her daughter would not survive after childbirth, she opted to carry the baby to term. The experience taught her about God’s love and about sacrifice and about what it means to be human.
