In een nieuwe aflevering van Europa Draait Door zetten Tim en Arend Jan een keer een roze bril op. Met de oorlog in Oekraïne en Gaza, de onheil vanuit Washington en de opkomst van radicaal-rechts is er natuurlijk een hoop om pessimistisch over te zijn. Maar onze gasten van vandaag zoeken juist in donkere dagen naar lichtpuntjes en oplossingen voor al dit soort problemen. Oud-politicus Diederik Samsom en econoom Mathijs Bouman schuiven aan over de toekomst van Europa. Daarnaast aandacht voor het telefoontje tussen Trump en Poetin en desinformatie in aanloop naar de Duitse verkiezingen.

Lekker Leven stond dit keer in het teken van optimale gezondheid. Bewegen en je ademhaling staan beide aan de basis van onze gezondheid. We kunnen niet zonder adem en we weten allemaal dat bewegen erg belangrijk en goed voor ons lijf en hoofd is. Toch vergeten we deze twee basis elementen vaak voldoende aandacht te geven in ons dagelijks leven. Bij Werk Atleet helpen en inspireren ze dagelijks mensen door beter te leren bewegen en te ademen door online trainingen waaronder 'Leven zonder Snurken'. Is snurken slecht je voor gezondheid en hoe kun je je ademhaling en beweging optimaliseren? Martine Hauwert ging erover in gesprek met Jeroen Bouman, medeoprichter van Werk Atleet. Met voedingstrateeg Roos Mulder ging Martine praten over voeding. Ook al eet je gezond, veel mensen hebben last van een opgeblazen buik, darmklachten, cravings en weinig energie. Hoe kun je een opgeblazen buik aanpakken? Wat is belangrijk bij het kiezen en voorbereiden van je maaltijden en wat zijn de do's en dont's? Roos Mulder van Floohw legde het uit en deelde praktische tips! In 'Lekker Leven' hoor je persoonlijke verhalen over: fysieke en mentale gezondheid, ontspanning, van je passie je werk maken en hoe je meer geluk kunt ervaren. Maar 'Lekker Leven' gaat verder dan alleen gezondheid en mindset, want hoe zit het dan met liefde, carrière, hobby's, uitjes, ondernemerschap en duurzaamheid? Alle onderdelen die voor een fijn en lekker leven staan komen aan bod! Met studiogasten, experts, BN'ers en artiesten wordt uitgebreid gesproken over hoe je 'Lekker Leven' kunt. 'Lekker Leven' is iedere derde maandag van de maand tussen 18:00 en 19:00 uur te beluisteren op GoodLIFE Radio en naderhand terug te luisteren als podcast via alle bekende podcast platforms (onder meer Spotify, Apple Podcasts en Google Podcasts).

Volgens hoogleraar Arnoud Boot is de discussie over de zogeheten graaiflatie - de onevenredige verhoging van prijzen ten opzichte van de inflatie - te koppelen aan de cijfers van PostNL. 'Er wordt namelijk gesuggereerd dat graaiflatie meer voorkomt in een geconcentreerde markt, en dan kijk je natuurlijk meteen naar PostNL.' Het Nederlandse postbedrijf heeft volgens Boot namelijk een monopolie op het gebied van brieven. En dat monopolie betekent dat PostNL de prijzen hoog kan vaststellen, duidt Boot. 'Graaiflatie betekent dat je prijsstijgingen blijft krijgen door bepaalde omstandigheden', stelt hij. 'En het monopolie van PostNL zorgt ervoor dat zij prijzen op een absoluut hoog niveau kunnen houden: een niveau wat de consument kan dragen.'Met als gevolg dat een bedrijf als PostNL dus hoge marges heeft, en kostenstijgingen vaak niet direct hoeft door te berekenen als ze plaatsvinden. 'De prijs was immers al hoog', aldus Boot. Daling van de winst Boot is het dan ook gedeeltelijk eens met de column die Mathijs Bouman vandaag in het Financieele Dagblad schreef, waarin hij stelt dat 'de monopolist zijn prijspleit zo heeft ingericht dat de hoogst mogelijke prijs uit de consument wordt geperst', en dat er 'bij een te enthousiaste doorberekening van de gestegen kosten, een daling van de optimale winst zal plaatsvinden'. Wel vindt hij dat Bouman op één vlak verkeerd zit. 'Net als het Centraal Planbureau', vervolgt hij. 'Als er concurrentie is terwijl je geen marge hebt, en dus iedere kostenstijging moet doorberekenen, betekent dat dat je in een geconcentreerde markt zonder concurrentie prijzen niet zult verhogen.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In deze aflevering gaan Mathijs Bouman en Paul Buitink in debat over de invoering en de houdbaarheid van de euro. Mathijs is van mening dat wij de gulden niet te goedkoop hebben ingewisseld voor de euro terwijl Paul op basis van het onderzoek van André ten Dam en andere economen hier wel van overtuigd is. Na dit onderwerp behandeld te hebben gaan ze in debat over de houdbaarheid van de euro. Paul verwacht dat door de hoge schulden en stijgende rentes steeds meer spanning komt te staan op de euro als gemeenschappelijke munt terwijl Mathijs pleit dat wij meer moeten gaan opereren als federale unie. Tot slot hebben ze het over de digitale euro, hoge inflatie, bitcoin/crypto en de rol van de dollar als wereld reserve munt. Overweegt u om goud en zilver aan te kopen?

In this episode, we speak with Thijs Bouman, assistant professor and researcher from the Environmental Psychology group at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. He's done some fascinating research into the relationship between group and individual environmental values. We often think of our value systems and beliefs as if they were created by our own independent thoughts, but we as humans, are highly influenced by the groups we interact with. Seeing environmental change through the lens of group behavior could provide a very different lens through which to design environmental campaigns and programs. Thijs' research explores how, as individuals, we tend to underestimate the pro-environmental values of others, and because of this, we shortchange our own impact. Yet, when our fellow group members strongly endorse pro-environmental values, discovering this boosts our own environmental engagement.

I invite you to again listen to the beginning verses of our first reading in Habakkuk, as we find them in The Message translation of the Bible: The problem as God gave Habakkuk to see it: God, how long do I have to cry out for help before you listen? How many times do I have to yell, “Help! Murder! Police!”          before you come to the rescue? Why do you force me to look at evil, stare trouble in the face day after day? Anarchy and violence break out, quarrels and fights all over the place. Law and order fall to pieces. Justice is a joke. The wicked have the righteous hamstrung and stand justice on its head. When we read those verses at our Tuesday Noon Bible Study, everyone in the group felt as though the prophet Habakkuk was writing words for us in our present time and current cultural context. The truth is our present context is one in which we sometimes find ourselves feeling as though we are trying to cling to our faith. The people of Judah were trying to cling to their faith. The prophet articulates their fear and their questions as they are facing military threats from their neighbors in Babylon and Egypt. And, after articulating their cries for help, Habakkuk then urges them to be faithful to God who will in time save them.  The fact of the matter is that all of today's readings are about clinging to our faith when everything around us seems to be (pardon my expression) going to hell in a handbasket. In our New Testament reading, Timothy seems to be losing his grip as a leader of the early church. And, in our gospel reading, the disciples – those who are closest to Jesus himself – seem to be wrestling with some crisis of faith.  So, I find it hopeful that we hear these words today because they are so relevant for us in our present context. Over the past few weeks, we have heard some rather perplexing and harsh stories from Jesus.  And it is easy to read today's gospel passage and receive it as yet another harsh message of condemnation.  However, it seems to me Jesus is communicating something else.  So, listen again to the beginning of this passage with new ears.  When the disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith, listen as Jesus answers the disciples with words of kindness, love, tenderness, and maybe even a bit of a smile.  Jesus replied, “Why, you do not need more faith.  Even this much faith (his thumb and forefinger pinching together) is enough!”  You see, if we hear Jesus speaking with love it totally changes our hearing of his remarks.  This passage is not really about quantity and having more faith.  It is all about understanding what faith is, what faith means, and what faith does. So, what is faith?  In his famous 1 Corinthians 13 words, Paul understood faith as one of the three greatest gifts – faith, hope and love.  In the New Testament, especially the writings of Paul, faith is often paired with love or said to work in conjunction with love. Furthermore, in Hebrews we read, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”  If we think about what faith is not, we understand that faith does not equal security, and faith is not assurance that all will go the way we want.  Faith does not mean that we are assured of going to the holy wishing well and being given exactly what we think is in our best interest. No.  Faith in God seems to really be about a kind of surrender, a kind of letting go, a kind of commitment and a conscious recognition of where we place our trust.  In his Large Catechism, Luther provides an explanation for the first commandment, “You shall have no other gods before me,” and I think his words might be helpful.  He writes: A “god” is the term for that to which we are to look for all good and in which we are to find refuge in all need.  Therefore, to have a God is nothing else than to trust and believe in that one with your whole heart.  As I have often said, it is the trust and faith of the heart alone that make both God and an idol.  If your faith and trust are right, then your God is the true one.  Conversely, where your trust is false and wrong, there you do not have the true God.  For these two belong together, faith and God.  Anything on which your heart relies and depends, I say, that is really your God. (The Book of Concord, p. 386) It is so very difficult in our “do it yourself” culture to just let go and place our faith and trust in God.  I really wonder if this lack of willingness to let go, to let go of our need to control, is more often the problem than the amount of faith we might have.  When talking about this challenge, Richard Rohr writes: A common saying is, “God helps those who help themselves.”  I think that phrase can be understood wisely; but in most spiritual situations it is not completely true.  Scripture clearly says, in many ways, that God helps those who trust in God, not those who help themselves. We need to be told that very strongly because of our “do it yourself” orientation.  As educated people, as Americans, as middle-class people who have practiced climbing, we are accustomed to doing it ourselves.  It takes applying the brakes, letting go of our own plans, allowing Another, and experiencing power from a Larger Source to really move to higher awareness.  Otherwise, there is no real transformation, but only increased willpower.  As if the one with the most willpower wins! Willfulness is quite different than willingness.  They are two different energetic styles and normally yield very different fruit. The reality is we already have the faith we need.  God gives us the faith we need.  But, as Richard Rohr has said, we must show a willingness to allow God to be the one in charge, to trust in God even when this might seem so very hard, even when it seems like everything is going to hell in a handbasket. Yes, God gives us the faith we need.  However, we must be willing to actually use it, to actively live it, to allow God to use us and that is so very countercultural.  As I hope all of you are aware, we use our faith to serve God, not to earn God's love or salvation.  We use our faith to serve God through our actions and the way we live together in community for the sake of the world because that is what faith will expect of us.  As theologian, Kimberly Long, suggests, “You already have the faith you need.  Now fulfill its purpose: live it!”  And, this is where the second part of this gospel comes in. To understand faith in this way is to understand faith as a way of life.  And, it is important to remember that we do not do this alone.  We do it as we live together in community as the broken body of Christ.  I think, the issue at stake is how we live together in community.  God gives us what we need to flourish abundantly in faithful community.  As the second part of today's gospel reading suggests, in the economy of faith, we who serve depend on a benevolent master who not only expects us to obey but gives us all that is required to do so.  And, much of that comes by living together as the community of the baptized.  The Rev. Dr. Anna Madsen, in her book I Can Do No Other: The Churches Here We Stand Moment, writes about this baptized community and the life of faith.  Her words are helpful as she remembers what she learned from seminary Professor Walt Bouman. She writes: You see, as Bouman taught many of us, baptism only “works” if it is “used,” that is, if it is trusted.  Our God is that in which or in whom we trust.  Baptism initiates us into a life of trust in God, of our participation in the community God, into the risen Jesus.  The word community is key here, for baptism is not only an individual matter.  It is, of course, a promise to each individual person (we are known by name).  But baptism initiates us into the community of the baptized.  We are, in a sense, baptized into a community of trusters. (I Can Do No Other: The Churches Here We Stand Moment, p. 22) Yes, we are “baptized into a community of trusters,” the community of faith.  And, when we live together and work together as the broken body of Christ, the faith we have been given enables God to work through us and do some amazing things.  We have seen such faith at work in our own congregation as we joined other congregations to create Michigan Refugee Hope, an organization that has enabled us to provide life and hope to young refugees.  In fact, through this effort, this congregation has taken in over fifteen young refugees.  We will likely be taking in more yet this year. That is what faith does.  When Jesus speaks to us today, he is not so much talking about quantity of faith.  He is talking about what faith is and what faith does.  Faith is not stockpiled in a storehouse for the working of spiritual wonders. No.  Faith is lived out as obedience to a just, merciful and loving God.  And, as we walk together in community as the broken body of Christ, we find that the God who expects much from us also promises much and does provide all the faith we need.  God provides all that we need to live into God's call to do the work of justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.

New Philadelphia singer-songwriter Megan Bouman wrote a song about nearly losing her faith, which helped her discover her true passion for music.
