Kalemegdan fortress as Miloš and Jelena, unburdened by their thoughts, wandered the stone paths.Sr: Без намере иочекивање, они су се придружили историјској шетњи.En: With neither intention nor expectation, they joined a historical walk.Sr: Њихови путеви су се сједињавали у златним нијансама опалог лишћа, уз мирис давнина који је вибрирао у ваздуху.En: Their paths merged amidst the golden hues of fallen leaves, alongside an ancient scent vibrating in the air.Sr: Милош, који се недавно преселио у Београд, гледао је у зидове тврђаве с дивљењем и жељом да пронађе неког ко би делио његову страст за историјом.En: Miloš, who had recently moved to Belgrade, looked at the fortress walls with admiration and a desire to find someone who would share his passion for history.Sr: Јелена, студенткиња уметности, преиспитивала је своје таленте, али је и даље била охрабрена да истражује нове ствари.En: Jelena, an art student, was questioning her talents, yet she was still encouraged to explore new things.Sr: Њихова прва комуникација била је са стидљивим осмесима, а речи су играле у сенци прошлости.En: Their initial communication began with shy smiles, and words played in the shadow of the past.Sr: Док је водич говорио о историји Београда, Милош је прикупио храброст и започео разговор.En: As the guide spoke about the history of Belgrade, Miloš gathered courage and started a conversation.Sr: "Волите историју?En: "Do you love history?"Sr: " упитао је, покушавајући да своје интересовање пренесе на њу.En: he asked, trying to convey his interest to her.Sr: Јелена се окренула

глатко, и Милош је отворио своје срце, говорећи о љубави према Београду и његовој историји.En: The conversation flowed smoothly, and Miloš opened his heart, speaking of his love for Belgrade and its history.Sr: Али изненада, Марко, њен стари пријатељ, придружио им се, уносећи нову динамику.En: But suddenly, Marko, her old friend, joined them, bringing a new dynamic.Sr: Његова појава изазвала је неколико тренутака напетости, али Милош је одлучио да не дозволи прошлим искуствима да га спрече у тражењу дружења.En: His appearance caused a few moments of tension, but Miloš decided not to let past experiences prevent him from seeking companionship.Sr: Док су се задржали близу зидина, Јелена је поделила причу о свом детињству проведеном у сенци тврђаве.En: While they lingered close to the walls, Jelena shared a story about her childhood spent in the shadow of the fortress.Sr: "Овде сам први пут нацртала старе зидове.En: "This is where I first drew the old walls.Sr: Од тада, увек сам осећала да моји цртежи осликавају исто што ови зидови чувају.En: Since then, I always felt that my drawings depict the same essence that these walls preserve."Sr: " Њене речи одјекнуле су у Милошу.En: Her words resonated with Miloš.Sr: Он је, такође, причао о првом додиру историје који је осетио гледајући у старе зграде.En: He, too, spoke of his first encounter with history, felt when looking at old buildings.Sr: Марко је, осећајући дубоку везу која се ствара између њих, дискретно се повукао, оставивши их да наставе своју жељу да се боље упознају.En: Marko, sensing the deep connection forming between them, discreetly withdrew, leaving them to continue their desire to get to know each other better.Sr: Завршили су шетњу уз Милошево питање: "Желиш ли да посетимо неке музеје у близини?En: They ended the walk with Miloš's question: "Would you like to visit some museums nearby?Sr: Можда можемо наћи инспирацију и историју која ће говорити и нама.En: Perhaps we can find inspiration and a history that speaks to us."Sr: " Јелена је прихватила с одушевљењем.En: Jelena accepted with enthusiasm.Sr: Док су одлазили с Калемегдана, оба су осетила како је пријатељство преточено у нешто више, окружено бојама историје и цветова који су тек свежи расли око њих.En: As they left Kalemegdan, both felt how friendship had turned into something more, surrounded by the colors of history and flowers that had just begun to bloom around them.Sr: Јесен је на Калемегдану наставила свој тихи плес, сведочећи о једном почетку, тихом и снажном као старе зидине које су их окруживале.En: Autumn at Kalemegdan continued its quiet dance, witnessing the beginning of something quiet and strong, like the ancient walls that surrounded them.Sr: Милош је пронашао уверење у себи, а Јелена уверење у својој уметности и вези коју су заједно градили.En: Miloš found confidence within himself, and Jelena found confidence in her art and the bond they were building together.

Transcript:No: Høstluften i Oslo var skarp, og Vigelandsparken glødet i varme toner av gull og rav.En: The autumn air in Oslo was sharp, and Vigelandsparken glowed in warm tones of gold and amber.No: Sindre ruslet stille gjennom parken, kameraet hans hang trygt rundt halsen.En: Sindre strolled quietly through the park, his camera hanging securely around his neck.No: Han elsket å ta bilder av de majestetiske statuene og de flyvende bladene som danset med vinden.En: He loved taking pictures of the majestic statues and the flying leaves that danced with the wind.No: Men i dag følte han et drag av ensomhet i brystet, kanskje sterkere enn han ville innrømme.En: But today, he felt a pull of loneliness in his chest, perhaps stronger than he wanted to admit.No: I utkanten av parken, ved en benk, satt en eldre kvinne.En: On the outskirts of the park, by a bench, sat an elderly woman.No: Hun så bekymret ut, blikket hennes flakket over parkkartet hun holdt.En: She looked worried, her gaze flitting over the park map she held.No: Sindre sto et øyeblikk og vurderte hva han skulle gjøre.En: Sindre paused for a moment, considering what to do.No: Det var Klara.En: It was Klara.No: Han så på hennes grånende hår som lyste i solskinnet, og da fikk han en indre trang til å hjelpe.En: He looked at her graying hair shining in the sunlight and felt an inner urge to help.No: «Unnskyld,» sa han forsiktig mens han nærmet seg benken.En: "Excuse me," he said gently as he approached the bench.No: «Trenger du hjelp med kartet?En: "Do you need help with the map?"No: »Klara så opp og smilte vennlig.En: Klara looked up and smiled kindly.No: «Ja, jeg tror jeg har gått meg vill.En: "Yes, I think I've gotten lost.No: Jeg leter etter monolitten.En: I'm looking for the monolith."No: »Mens Sindre forklarte veien til monolitten, kom en annen ung kvinne gående mot dem.En: While Sindre explained the way to the monolith, another young woman walked towards them.No: Astrid var i Oslo på sin egen lille eventyrreise.En: Astrid was in Oslo on her own little adventure.No: «Trenger dere hjelp?En: "Do you need help?"No: » spurte hun glad.En: she asked cheerfully.No: Sindre så på Astrid, og noe i ham vekket til liv.En: Sindre looked at Astrid, and something in him came to life.No: Kanskje det var smilet hennes eller den varme stemmen.En: Perhaps it was her smile or the warm voice.No: «Vi prøver bare å finne veien til monolitten,» sa han, litt mer selvsikkert enn han vanligvis ville.En: "We're just trying to find the way to the monolith," he said, a bit more confidently than he usually would.No: De tre begynte å gå sammen mot monolitten, Klara takket gang på gang for hjelpen.En: The three began to walk together towards the monolith, Klara thanking them repeatedly for the help.No: De andre parkbesøkende gikk rundt dem, og luften var fylt med lyden av latter og barn som lekte.En: Other park visitors walked around them, and the air was filled with the sound of laughter and children playing.No: Sindre kunne kjenne en varm følelse inni seg, en han hadde savnet.En: Sindre could feel a warm feeling inside him, one he had missed.No: Mens de gikk, fant Sindre og Astrid seg i en samtale som fløt lett og naturlig.En: As they walked, Sindre and Astrid found themselves in a conversation that flowed easily and naturally.No: De delte små historier om seg selv, lo og kommenterte kunsten rundt dem.En: They shared small stories about themselves, laughed, and commented on the art around them.No: Da de nådde monolitten, som så imponerende ut mot den klare høsthimmelen, følte Sindre noe skifte i hjertet sitt.En: When they reached the monolith, which looked impressive against the clear autumn sky, Sindre felt something shift in his heart.No: Astrid vendte seg mot ham og sa: «Det var hyggelig å møte deg.En: Astrid turned to him and said, "It was nice meeting you.No: Kanskje vi kan se mer av byen sammen?En: Maybe we can see more of the city together?"No: »Uten å tenke på hva han fryktet tidligere, nikket Sindre.En: Without thinking of what he had feared earlier, Sindre nodded.No: «Det ville vært flott,» svarte han, mens han tok frem telefonen for å utveksle kontaktinformasjon.En: "That would be great," he replied, as he took out his phone to exchange contact information.No: Klara, som nå hadde funnet sitt mål, smilte bredt til både Sindre og Astrid.En: Klara, who had now found her goal, smiled broadly at both Sindre and Astrid.No: «Dere er gode mennesker, takk for at dere hjalp en gammel dame.En: "You are good people, thank you for helping an old lady."No: »Da de sa farvel, kjente Sindre en ny spenning under overflaten av selvbevissthet.En: As they said goodbye, Sindre felt a new excitement beneath the surface of self-consciousness.No: Han hadde tatt et skritt utenfor sin komfortsone og oppdaget at verden kunne by på hyggelige overraskelser.En: He had taken a step outside his comfort zone and discovered that the world could offer pleasant surprises.No: På vei ut av parken, med kameraet stilt inn mot nye motiver, følte Sindre at høsten i Oslo hadde gitt ham mer enn bare vakre bilder.En: On his way out of the park, with the camera set toward new subjects, Sindre felt that the autumn in Oslo had given him more than just beautiful pictures.No: Det hadde gitt ham mot og kanskje en ny vennskap med Astrid som kunne blomstre når han våget å se forbi kameralinsen.En: It had given him courage and perhaps a new friendship with Astrid that could bloom when he dared to look beyond the camera lens.

Everyone wants to know God's will for their life, but few want to conform their lives to God's will. Deuteronomy 29:29 reminds us that “the secret things belong to the LORD... but the things that are revealed belong to us... that we may do all the words of this law.” God's secret will—his providence—unfolds day by day, while his revealed will calls us to obey his commands. Our focus should not be on deciphering God's secret plan but on living faithfully in light of what he has revealed. Ruth and Boaz model this, acting with courage and righteousness without knowing God's plan, yet finding themselves woven into his redemptive story—far greater than anything they could have imagined. This is Understanding Ruth. Check out the rest of our Understanding Series: https://www.fouroaksmidtown.com/teachings

Have you ever felt torn between logic and intuition — wondering if something is truly a sign or just fear in disguise?This episode tells the behind-the-scenes story of how I chose a home in Bali without ever seeing it in person… and how unexpected signs, divine timing, and deep gut nudges led me to trust something greater than logic. It's a reflection on fear, faith, decision-making, and the subtle ways the universe speaks — even when we second-guess. If you've ever asked, “Is this the right path?” or waited for certainty before acting… this one's for you.✨ “Not every sign makes sense at first. But that doesn't mean it's not divine.”For more episodes that explore intuition and inner guidance, check out:• 144: Shifting Old Roles to Become Someone New - https://youtu.be/vHydKls3Ae0• 142: Fear or Trust?

Send us a textWhen Luan Lawrenson-Woods saw a raw TV interview about metastatic breast cancer, she had no idea it would save her life. At 46, she booked a mammogram she wouldn't have been called for until 50—and learned she had an aggressive, rare lobular breast cancer. It had been silently growing, showing no lump and only a hidden dimple in her breast crease she never noticed.In this candid conversation, the award-winning Australian patient advocate shares her path from diagnosis in 2017 through chemo, mastectomy, radiotherapy, and DIEP flap reconstruction, to becoming a fierce voice for women navigating healthcare systems. She opens up about ongoing PTSD, the power of self-advocacy, the role her marriage played in her recovery, and the full-circle moment of meeting the man whose TV appearance inspired her to get checked.Check out Luan's podcast Regarding Me for more on how to speak up, be heard, and put yourself at the center of your care.

You never know who you might meet at a Canadian gas station. Back in March, AHI sat down with Tom Power to tell us how a chance encounter at a truck stop in Thunder Bay inspired him to pursue music full-time. He also sets up a song off his new album, “The Light Behind the Sun.”

Andy Schell of 59° North Sailing is no stranger to the Out The Gate podcast. We'd both been wanting to follow up on our last podcast conversation, but hadn't managed to connect over Zoom. So, when Falken, 59° North's Farr 65, and Dovka both happened to pull into Hiva Oa in the Marquesas the same morning, we took the opportunity to finally sit down and chat. We talked about our respective Pacific crossings, the importance of letting go, and what we're each looking forward to in sailing, work, and life. This interview can also be found on Andy's pre-eminent podcast On The Wind.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Heidi Rose, a woman whose story will move you, stretch you, and break you open in all the ways that matter. Heidi lost her husband, Jason, to brain cancer, and the journey there was anything but simple. She opens up about the heartbreaking transformation she witnessed as cancer took over, not just his body, but parts of their shared life. We talk about the night he passed, how their children processed it, and what it means to grieve, rebuild, and keep living.But this conversation goes deeper than loss. Heidi speaks about her healing through trauma, through childhood abuse, and through unconventional paths like EMDR, Al-Anon, and plant medicine. She talks about finding her voice, regaining peace, and learning that real love sometimes means letting go.This episode is for anyone who's walked through pain they never thought they'd survive. It's for those navigating grief, complex family dynamics, or simply trying to find meaning when life doesn't go to plan.You'll walk away from this episode changed.

In this episode of the Crux True Survival Story Podcast, hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen bring you the extraordinary tale of David Finlayson and his 13-year-old son Charlie—a story that redefines courage in the face of disaster. When their August 2015 climbing expedition in Idaho's remote Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness took a devastating turn after a massive boulder struck David, it was young Charlie who transformed from teenager to hero. With remarkable composure and ingenuity, Charlie embarked on a life-saving mission that would test the limits of their father-son bond and demonstrate the incredible capacity of the human spirit. This edge-of-your-seat episode explores not only the harrowing ordeal but also the treacherous beauty of one of America's most isolated wilderness areas, the inherent risks of rock climbing, and the critical importance of wilderness preparedness that can mean the difference between life and death.

0:00 - Sometimes, seasons can be boiled down to a handful of specific timeline-altering moments. What were some season-changing moments for our local teams over the years?12:21 - Our favorite sports betting commercial guy had a very blunt prediction for Nuggets @ Bucks tonight.

Happy New Year! When was the last time you admired someone's style from afar, say from across the street? Or when you found yourself sitting next to them in a public place, a cafe perhaps, at a fashion show or on the bus? Did you strike up a conversation? Because we mostly don't. Mostly we just think how fab they look and that's that. I like to think of our first Episode for series 11 as an encouragement to talk to stylish strangers, in the very best of ways, because you never know what might come out of it.At London Fashion Week last season, I spotted Beau McCall in the crowd, and thought: Oh my, what a FABULOUS OUTFIT. He was covered, you see, in buttons galore, like a Harlem version of a Pearly King. He'd topped off this look with a Vivienne Westwood Buffalo hat. Next thing I knew, he was making his way over, and sat down next to me. The rest is, if not exactly history, encapsulated in this warm and sparkling conversation. Actually, there is quite a bit of history in it - from the evolution of the button as a fastener/decoration strictly for the well-to-do, to everyman's (and woman's) closure of choice, to the fashion history of NYC in the late '80s.Also up for discussion: why every family should have a button box, the joy of hand-sewing, how fashion can help if you're shy at parties, and what happens when you try and sew hundreds of a buttons onto a bathtub...For pics and links, hop over, as usual, to: thewardrobecrisis.comBeau's website is beaumccall.comFor info on The Or Foundation's Kantamanto fund, see here.To discover our Sustainable Fashion 101 online course, click here.We're giving listeners who enrol in January 50% off.Apply the discount code - newyear - at checkout to redeem your gift.
