When our youngest son was just learning to walk and talk, my wife always knew when I walked in the door from work. She said she would just hear this loud, one-syllable announcement from our son, "DA!" No, not "Daddy"…not "Da-Da," just "DA"! And that's how he would greet me as I walked in. My wife said he actually would go to the door late in the afternoon and begin looking for me. And when I finally arrived—say it with me now—"DA!" I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Looking For Daddy.” My son went to the door looking for his father, and he found one. Tragically, a lot of people have gone looking for a father in their life and there was no one there. In fact, maybe for you the word "father" is a hurting word. In one way or another, your father wasn't there for you—physically, financially, emotionally, or supportively. You went to the door, but there was no one there. That leaves an emotional deficit. It makes you feel incomplete, cheated, unexplainably lonely, trying to compensate for the lack of a father's love in countless ways…some that leave you even more scarred. I call it a Daddy deficit. In our word for today from the Word of God there is hope for someone who has never had the father they needed. Galatians 4:4-6, God's Word, "When the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the full rights of sons." God is showing us here this incredible possibility of actually belonging to our Creator in a deeply personal way—as a child in His family, with God Himself as your Father. Not like your earthly father. No, God is like the father we always wished we had, not the father we had. And God goes on to say here, "Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.'" Now, in the Greek language this part of the Bible was written in, that "Abba" is a deeply affectionate word for Father; it's like "Daddy" or "DA!" See, God literally offers you, not a religion, not a rulebook, but a love-relationship with Him—the Creator God—as your Daddy. Even if you've had a wonderful earth-father, there's still that sense of incompleteness, that sense of someone's missing. That's because someone is. See, there's a hole in your heart that can only be filled by this One who wants to be your Heavenly Father. He's always fair, always loving, always understanding what you're feeling, always dependable, always stronger than anything you're facing—always there for you. We're missing our ultimate Father, not because He's left us, but because we left Him. The Bible says, "Each of us has turned to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6). We're separated from God by all the sins of our life--every time we've done it our way instead of His way. That's why, in the Scripture we read, "God sent His Son... to redeem" us. I'll tell you this; God removed all doubt about whether or not He really loves you when He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to pay your death penalty for your sin on His cross. I don't know how you picture God, whether He's waving a condemning finger at you, or His arms are folded, staring at you, or He's just too busy for you. That might have been your earthly father. It's not the Heavenly Father. His arms are wide open. He's so waiting for you to come to Him. The Father you've wanted your whole life becomes your Father when you put your trust in His Son, Jesus, to forgive all your sin. The Bible says, “To all those who believe in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God.” When you open up to God's Son, He makes you a daughter or a son of God. If you've never begun a relationship with Him, I would encourage you today to let your heavenly Daddy come into your life and love you as you were always meant to be loved, with a love that Jesus came for you to have. Tell Him, “Jesus, I'm yours beginning today.” Our website will give you more information on how to be sure you belong to Him. Check it out - It's ANewStory.com. Once you begin this loving Father relationship, wherever you go looking for your Father, He's going to be there!

Judith Dada, Tech-Investorin beim Visionaries Club, hat mit KI-Forschern das Essay „Europe 2031" geschrieben – und erlebt, wie die Realität ihre Dystopie einholt. Stunden nach Erscheinen stoppten die USA den Export von Anthropics besten Modellen. Ihre Kernthese: KI wird zum geopolitischen Druckmittel – und Europa ist nicht gut genug aufgestellt. Nur rund 5 Prozent der weltweiten Rechenkapazitäten liegen auf europäischem Boden. Den Ausbau sieht sie als transatlantisches Projekt, aber mit verbindlichen Souveränitätsgarantien. Dennoch: „Ich bin KI-Optimistin, dass wir die positiven Transformationspotenziale dieser Technologie aktuell noch massiv unterschätzen."

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Finding Balance: Freja's Journey to Success and Serenity Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-06-14-07-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Freja sad i hjørnet af Freelancer's Home, en hyggelig café med blødt lys og rolig stemning.En: Freja sat in the corner of Freelancer's Home, a cozy café with soft lighting and a calm atmosphere.Da: Hun havde sine bøger, laptop og farverige markører spredt ud over det lille træbord.En: She had her books, laptop, and colorful markers spread across the small wooden table.Da: Udenfor skinnede solen, og sommerens varme bølger kunne mærkes gennem de åbne vinduer.En: Outside, the sun was shining, and the warm waves of summer could be felt through the open windows.Da: Det var en perfekt dag til at være udendørs, men Freja havde vigtigere ting i tankerne.En: It was a perfect day to be outdoors, but Freja had more important things on her mind.Da: Hun bøjede sig frem og læste igen og igen det samme afsnit om arkitekturens grundprincipper.En: She leaned forward, reading the same paragraph about the fundamental principles of architecture over and over again.Da: Tankerne fløj rundt, for hun skulle snart til den store eksamen, der kunne sikre hende en plads på sit drømmestudium.En: Her thoughts were scattered, as she was soon to face the big exam that could secure her a spot in her dream program.Da: Hun ønskede så inderligt at klare det godt, men følte også en stigende uro i maven.En: She so dearly wished to do well, but also felt a growing unease in her stomach.Da: Ind kom Emil, Frejas bedste ven.En: In came Emil, Freja's best friend.Da: Han bar altid et smil på læben og en afslappet holdning, som en brise af frisk luft i enhver stram situation.En: He always wore a smile on his face and had a relaxed demeanor, like a breath of fresh air in any tense situation.Da: Emil stillede sin kaffe ved siden af Freja og kiggede på hendes opslåede bog.En: Emil placed his coffee next to Freja and glanced at her open book.Da: "Lang dag?"En: "Tough day?"Da: spurgte han med et glimt i øjet.En: he asked with a twinkle in his eye.Da: Freja sukkede og smilede svagt.En: Freja sighed and smiled faintly.Da: "Ja, jeg er bekymret for eksamen."En: "Yes, I'm worried about the exam."Da: Emil nikkede og lænede sig tilbage i stolen.En: Emil nodded and leaned back in his chair.Da: "Du gør det godt, Freja.En: "You're doing well, Freja.Da: Men nogle gange skal man også slappe lidt af."En: But sometimes you also need to relax a bit."Da: Hans rolige måde beskrev den modsatte side af Frejas målrettede beslutsomhed.En: His calm manner was the opposite of Freja's determined resolve.Da: Men mens timerne gik, begyndte Freja at miste fokus, fordi Emils lette snak og jokes trak hende væk fra bogen.En: But as the hours passed, Freja began to lose focus because Emil's light chatter and jokes drew her away from the book.Da: Hun vidste, at hun måtte tage en beslutning.En: She knew she had to make a decision.Da: Skulle hun fortsætte med sin strenge studieplan eller tage et skridt tilbage for ikke at brænde helt ud?En: Should she continue with her strict study plan or take a step back to avoid burning out completely?Da: Endelig, efter yderligere en times studier og Emils vedholdende forsøg på at lette stemningen, satte Freja bogen væk og kiggede på Emil.En: Finally, after another hour of studying and Emil's persistent efforts to lighten the mood, Freja put the book away and looked at Emil.Da: "Jeg er virkelig nervøs," sagde hun ærligt.En: "I'm really nervous," she said honestly.Da: "Jeg har brug for at klare mig godt, men jeg ved ikke, hvordan jeg kan slappe af uden at føle dårlig samvittighed."En: "I need to do well, but I don't know how to relax without feeling guilty."Da: Emil tog en dyb indånding.En: Emil took a deep breath.Da: "Det handler om balance.En: "It's about balance.Da: Vi giver det en time til intens fokus, og så tager vi en pause.En: We give it an hour of intense focus, and then we take a break.Da: Det er en aftale?"En: Agreed?"Da: Freja smilede og nikkede langsomt.En: Freja smiled and nodded slowly.Da: "Det kunne jeg godt bruge."En: "I could use that."Da: Med Emils hjælp udviklede de en ny plan.En: With Emil's help, they developed a new plan.Da: Kortere, men mere intense studier samtidig med små pauser til at genoplade.En: Shorter, but more intense study sessions with small breaks to recharge.Da: De gik en kort tur rundt om blokken, og Freja følte sommerbrisen og solens varme på hendes hud.En: They took a short walk around the block, and Freja felt the summer breeze and the warmth of the sun on her skin.Da: Da de kom tilbage til caféen, følte Freja sig lettere tilpas og klar til at dykke tilbage i stoffet.En: When they returned to the café, Freja felt more at ease and ready to dive back into the material.Da: Timer senere, da de pakkede sammen, gik noget op for hende.En: Hours later, as they packed up, something dawned on her.Da: Det var ikke længere kun frygten for eksamen.En: It was no longer just the fear of the exam.Da: Hun havde fundet en måde at tage kontrollen tilbage.En: She had found a way to take back control.Da: "Tak, Emil," sagde hun, mens de gik ud i den stadigt lysende sommeraften.En: "Thank you, Emil," she said as they stepped out into the still-bright summer evening.Da: "Altid, Freja.En: "Always, Freja.Da: Du klarer det fantastisk," svarede han med et glimt.En: You're doing great," he replied with a glint.Da: Freja følte sig bedre rustet til den kommende dag, og ikke bare til at tackle sin eksamen, men til at finde balance i det, hun elskede at gøre.En: Freja felt better prepared for the coming day, not just to tackle her exam, but to find balance in what she loved to do.

Are you truly grown, or are your kids just completely running your life, your timeline, and your bank account? This week, Mike and Tiff are back on a Damn We Grown to break down the hilarious, exhausting, and expensive realities of being club volleyball parents. From dealing with absolute audacity and tween-attitude at 6:30 in the morning to Mike walking a country mile in the blazing sun just to dodge a $20 parking fee—the struggle is real.But Mike found the ultimate tournament cheat code, and he's not gatekeeping. Hint: It involves a trunk, a hidden electric scooter, and complete evasion of club sports system fees.Later in the episode, Tiff drops a devastating reality check: their daughter has officially declared that she can no longer call Mike "Daddy".

In this episode, we're joined by legendary TikTok creator, Slushy Noobz creative director, and certified #SWAG Dadaism pioneer Chase Rutherford to further interrogate the ideas introduced in our previous episode. We discuss the freedom of default aesthetics and the legacy of normcore, the provocative power of readymades over a century after Fountain, how Kanye anchored the preppy misfit years of Chase's youth, and how Chase resisted the siren song of LA influencer culture in favor of creative autonomy. We also discuss the art historical impact of Beyoncé and Jay-Z at the Louvre, how Sombr's personal brand might still be salvaged, and the importance of reframing transient microtrends—from clout goggles to Brazil baby tee—as the significant cultural artifacts of our time.Links: Chase Rutherford on InstagramChase Rutherford on TikTokSlushy Noobz on PatreonSlushy Noobz official merchandise This is a public episode.

sprouting in her chest.Da: Mikkel så på hende stumt, men med en opmuntrende glimt i øjnene.En: Mikkel looked at her silently but with an encouraging glint in his eyes.Da: "Uanset hvad du gør, vil jeg

Transcript:Da: Det var en solrig forårsdag i København, og Tivoli Gardens strålede som en farverig drøm midt i byen.En: It was a sunny spring day in København, and Tivoli Gardens gleamed like a colorful dream in the middle of the city.Da: Tulipaner i alle regnbuens farver lyste op mellem forlystelserne, og duften af frisklavet popcorn fyldte luften.En: Tulips in all the colors of the rainbow lit up between the rides, and the scent of freshly made popcorn filled the air.Da: Freja, Mathias og Mikkel trådte ind i haven med et smil på læben.En: Freja, Mathias, and Mikkel entered the park with smiles on their faces.Da: Familien, par og venner var strømmet til for at fejre Mors Dag under de blå himmelstræk.En: Families, couples, and friends had flocked to celebrate Mother's Day under the blue skies.Da: Freja elskede foråret og de lyse aftener i Tivoli.En: Freja loved spring and the long evenings in Tivoli.Da: Men med forår kom også hendes allerstørste udfordring – pollenallergi.En: But with spring also came her biggest challenge – pollen allergy.Da: Hun havde besluttet ikke at tage sin allergimedicin i dag.En: She had decided not to take her allergy medicine today.Da: Hun ville være stærk og vise Mathias og Mikkel, at hun kunne nyde dagen uden bekymringer.En: She wanted to be strong and show Mathias and Mikkel that she could enjoy the day without worries.Da: Regenbogen, parkens berømte rutsjebane, var dagens første stop.En: The Regenbogen, the park's famous roller coaster, was the first stop of the day.Da: Freja lo, mens de susede op og ned, vinden i ansigtet.En: Freja laughed as they zoomed up and down, the wind in her face.Da: Men allerede her begyndte hendes øjne at klø en smule.En: But already, her eyes started to itch a little.Da: De gik videre til koncertområdet, hvor musikken fyldte hvert hjørne.En: They moved on to the concert area, where music filled every corner.Da: Freja gnubbede sin næse, mens hun forsøgte at overhøre den svage kilden i hendes hals.En: Freja rubbed her nose as she tried to ignore the slight tickle in her throat.Da: "Er du okay?"En: "Are you okay?"Da: spurgte Mathias, mens de spadserede blandt de farvestrålende boder.En: asked Mathias, as they strolled among the colorful booths.Da: "Selvfølgelig," svarede Freja hurtigt, med et smil så bredt, at det næsten overbeviste hende selv.En: "Of course," Freja replied quickly, with a smile so wide that it almost convinced even herself.Da: Da solen begyndte at nærme sig horisonten, gjorde de sig klar til dagens højdepunkt – en stor udendørs forestilling med lys og lyd.En: As the sun began to approach the horizon, they prepared for the day's highlight – a grand outdoor show with lights and sound.Da: Publikum samlede sig, og stemningen var elektrisk.En: The audience gathered, and the atmosphere was electric.Da: Men lige da forestillingen skulle begynde, blev Frejas hals strammere.En: But just as the show was about to begin, Freja's throat tightened.Da: Hun begyndte at hoste, og hendes øjne løb i vand.En: She began to cough, and her eyes watered.Da: Alt omkring hende blev sløret.En: Everything around her became blurred.Da: "Freja!"En: "Freja!"Da: Mikkel greb hende lige i rette tid, da hun vaklede.En: Mikkel caught her just in time as she swayed.Da: Hun kunne mærke sine veninders bekymring, og det gjorde hende på én gang flov og lettet.En: She could feel her friends' concern, and it made her feel both embarrassed and relieved at the same time.Da: De hjalp hende væk fra menneskemængden og fandt et stille hjørne i en af parkens små indendørs caféer.En: They helped her away from the crowd and found a quiet corner in one of the park's small indoor cafés.Da: Freja sad der, mens hun langsomt fandt vej tilbage til sig selv.En: Freja sat there as she slowly found her way back to herself.Da: Med et suk så hun op på Mathias og Mikkel.En: With a sigh, she looked up at Mathias and Mikkel.Da: Deres bekymrede øjne mødte hendes, og hun vidste, at det var okay at vise svaghed.En: Their worried eyes met hers, and she knew it was okay to show weakness.Da: Matthæus sagde beroligende: "Vi kan altid have det sjovt indendørs."En: Mathias said soothingly, "We can always have fun indoors."Da: Resten af dagen tilbragte de sammen i afslappet selskab.En: The rest of the day, they spent together in relaxed company.Da: De drak varm kakao og besluttede at købe smukke blomster til deres mødre.En: They drank hot cocoa and decided to buy beautiful flowers for their mothers.Da: Freja følte en ny lettelse.En: Freja felt a new sense of relief.Da: Hun indså, at hun kunne være ærlig og stadig være stærk sammen med sine venner.En: She realized she could be honest and still be strong with her friends.Da: Da solen forsvandt bag byens tage, gik de ud af Tivoli.En: As the sun disappeared behind the city's rooftops, they left Tivoli.Da: Freja holdt en buket roser tæt ind til sig.En: Freja held a bouquet of roses close to her.Da: Hun vidste nu, hvad der virkelig var vigtigt: at være ærlig om sine udfordringer og lade dem, der holder af én, være en del af rejsen.En: She now knew what was truly important: to be honest about her challenges and let those who care about her be part of the journey.

Jem, Nadia and Keir apply their weird-left lens to the power and potential of shock. Starting with an investigation into economic ‘shock therapy’ and the way that Trumpism models the concept of ‘shock doctrine’, they move onto modern art’s relationship with the ‘shock of the new’, from Dada and Eisenstein to gangsta rap and radio shock jocks. Can you acclimatise yourself to shock either through repetition or training? Can shock be commodified? What other shocks are coming down the pipeline? These ideas and more with musical input from Kylie, Herbie Hancock and Stravinsky.

filled the air.Da: Mikkel stillede kasser med sprøde gulerødder og saftige æbler op på boderne under det store egetræ.En: Mikkel arranged boxes of crisp carrots and juicy apples on the stands under the big oak tree.Da: Farverne stod stærkt mod det frodige grønne.En: The colors stood out vividly against the lush green.Da: Gården havde travlt denne forårsdag.En: The farm was busy this spring day.Da: Sofie, som netop var ankommet fra byen, gik forsigtigt hen langs stierne.En: Sofie, who had just arrived from the city, walked cautiously along the paths.Da: Hun kunne allerede mærke, hvordan den friske luft fyldte hende med en ny energi.En: She could already feel how the fresh air filled her with new energy.Da: Men hun var skeptisk.En: But she was skeptical.Da: Kunne disse grøntsager virkelig være bedre end dem fra supermarkedet?En: Could these vegetables really be better than those from the supermarket?Da: Mikkel så hende og vinkede med et stort smil.En: Mikkel saw her and waved with a big smile.Da: "Velkommen til vores gård!En: "Welcome to our farm!Da: Lad mig vise dig rundt," sagde han opmuntret.En: Let me show you around," he said encouragingly.Da: Sofie tøvede et øjeblik, men besluttede sig for at tage imod tilbuddet.En: Sofie hesitated for a moment but decided to take him up on the offer.Da: Hun ønskede virkelig at forstå mere om, hvordan maden blev til.En: She truly wanted to understand more about how the food was produced.Da: De gik langs de rækker af planter, der strakte sig under solen.En: They walked along the rows of plants stretching under the sun.Da: "Vi dyrker alt organisk her," forklarede Mikkel stolt.En: "We grow everything organically here," Mikkel explained proudly.Da: "Det betyder ingen kemikalier.En: "That means no chemicals.Da: Vi passer på planterne som en del af naturen."En: We take care of the plants as part of nature."Da: Sofie spurgte nysgerrigt, "Hvorfor er det bedre?En: Sofie asked curiously, "Why is that better?Da: Det ser jo meget arbejde ud."En: It seems like a lot of work."Da: "Ja," svarede Mikkel, "men det gør det frugtbart og sundt.En: "Yes," replied Mikkel, "but it makes it fruitful and healthy.Da: Jorden fejrer det.En: The soil celebrates it.Da: Planterne ved, at vi tager os af dem."En: The plants know we take care of them."Da: Mens de gik, så Sofie hvordan Mikkel og hans arbejdere kærligt plejede planterne.En: As they walked, Sofie saw how Mikkel and his workers lovingly tended to the plants.Da: Hun så en bi sværme fra blomst til blomst, og hun kunne se, hvordan hver detalje betød noget.En: She watched a bee drift from flower to flower, and she could see how every detail mattered.Da: På et tidspunkt stoppede de foran et bed med jordbær, hvor solen ramte rigtigt.En: At one point, they stopped in front of a patch of strawberries, where the sun hit just right.Da: "Smag disse," sagde Mikkel og plukkede et par bær for at give hende.En: "Taste these," said Mikkel, picking a few berries to give her.Da: Sofie tog en bid, og smilet bredte sig hurtigt på hendes ansigt.En: Sofie took a bite, and a smile quickly spread across her face.Da: Smagen var overraskende sød og fyldig.En: The taste was surprisingly sweet and rich.Da: Da eftermiddagen skred frem, begyndte Sofie at forstå.En: As the afternoon progressed, Sofie began to understand.Da: Hun så ikke bare produkterne som varer, men som resultatet af en dedikeret proces.En: She saw the products not just as goods, but as the result of a dedicated process.Da: I slutningen af turen stod hun ved boderne igen, nu med en kurv fuld af grøntsager og en nyvunden respekt for arbejdet bag.En: At the end of the tour, she stood by the stands again, now with a basket full of vegetables and a newfound respect for the work behind it.Da: "Tak, Mikkel," sagde hun, da hun var ved at gå.En: "Thank you, Mikkel," she said as she was about to leave.Da: "Jeg tror, jeg bliver nødt til at komme tilbage.En: "I think I'll have to come back.Da: Jeg har lært meget i dag."En: I've learned a lot today."Da: Mikkel nikkede tilfreds.En: Mikkel nodded satisfied.Da: "Vi er her altid for dem, der ønsker at lære," svarede han.En: "We're always here for those who want to learn," he replied.Da: For første gang følte han, at hans arbejde virkelig blev værdsat.En: For the first time, he felt that his work was truly appreciated.Da: På vej hjem kunne Sofie næsten smage inspirationen i luften.En: On her way home, Sofie could almost taste the inspiration in the air.Da: Hun vidste, at hun ville tænke nøje over, hvor hendes mad kom fra fremover.En: She knew she would carefully consider where her food came from in the future.Da: Gården skulle blive hendes nye favoritsted.En: The farm was to become her new favorite place.Da: Sådan blev en simpel eftermiddag på gården begyndelsen på en ny forståelse for Sofie, og en styrket tillid for Mikkel.En: Thus, a simple afternoon on the farm became the beginning of a new understanding for Sofie, and a strengthened confidence for Mikkel.Da: Foråret havde bragt en større forbindelse mellem land og by, og begge så frem til det, der nu skulle komme.En: Spring had brought a greater connection between
