In 1882 in New York City, Joseph Richardson owned a narrow strip of land, 5 feet wide and 104 feet long. Next door was a normal-sized lot owned by a man who wanted to erect an apartment building. He offered Richardson $1,000 for his plot. But Richardson built a house—blocking the view! Dubbed the “Spite House”, Richardson spent the last fourteen years of his life in the narrow residence that seemed to fit his narrow state of mind.

Revenge builds a lonely, narrow house, space enough for one person. The lives of its tenants reduced to one goal: make someone miserable. And they do—themselves. No wonder God insists we “keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent” (Hebrews 12:15 MSG).

Is reading the Bible a chore—or is it something far greater?

In this week’s episode of Upon Further Review, hosts Dr. John Hall and Cody Kitchen unpack one of the most life-changing spiritual disciplines: reading the Bible. Together, they explore how engaging with Scripture reveals God’s purpose, deepens our faith, and becomes one of the healthiest habits a believer can develop.

When teens act out or pull away, there’s often a deeper struggle beneath the surface — a longing for connection and a search for identity. In today’s episode, Mark sits down with two young women from Heartlight who share how feelings of isolation, whether from a sheltered upbringing or broken relationships, led them down challenging paths. For Megan, being surrounded by other teens working through similar issues created authentic friendships and a support system unlike anything she had at home. She shares how stepping back from outside influences — even social media — helped her gain confidence.
