Transcript:Hu: Géza és Ilona izgatottan készültek a húsvétra.En: Géza and Ilona were excitedly preparing for Easter.Hu: Egy szép, napfényes tavaszi reggel volt, amikor a Ködös Mocsár Piaca felé vették az irányt.En: It was a beautiful, sunny spring morning when they set off towards the Ködös Mocsár Piaca.Hu: A levegőben friss péksütemények és virágzó tavaszi virágok illata szállt.En: The air was filled with the scent of fresh pastries and blooming spring flowers.Hu: Minden évben itt vásároltak a legszebb ünnepi díszeket és finom falatokat családi összejöveteleikhez.En: Every year, they would buy the most beautiful holiday decorations and delicious treats here for their family gatherings.Hu: Géza és Ilona beléptek a piac forgatagába.En: Géza and Ilona entered the bustling market.Hu: Ilona csillogó szemekkel nézett körbe.En: Ilona looked around with sparkling eyes.Hu: Szerette a nyüzsgést és a színes standok látványát.En: She loved the hustle and bustle and the sight of the colorful stalls.Hu: Ezzel szemben Géza már az első lépésnél a legjobb ajánlatokra összpontosított.En: In contrast, Géza focused on the best deals from the first step.Hu: Tudta, hogy sok múlik márciusra, amikor a piaci árak gyorsan változhattak az ünnepi szezonban.En: He knew that a lot depended on March, when market prices could change rapidly during the holiday season.Hu: Ahogy a tömeg sűrűsödött, Gézának nehézséget okozott megtalálni a legjobb árakat.En: As the crowd thickened, Géza found it difficult to find the best prices.Hu: Ilona nevetését hallva visszapillantott, és látta, hogy párja éppen egy édességes stand előtt kóstolgatja az ínycsiklandó süteményeket.En: Hearing Ilona's laughter, he glanced back and saw that his partner was sampling the mouth-watering pastries at a confectionery stand.Hu: Géza sóhajtott, és előállt egy ötlettel.En: Géza sighed and came up with an idea.Hu: – Ilona, szerintem jobb lenne, ha ketté válnánk egy kicsit.En: "Ilona, I think it would be better if we split up for a bit.Hu: Te élvezed a vásárlást, én pedig megpróbálok olcsóbb, de szép díszeket találni – javasolta Géza reménykedve.En: You enjoy shopping, and I'll try to find cheaper but beautiful decorations," suggested Géza hopefully.Hu: Ilona mosolygott és bólintott.En: Ilona smiled and nodded.Hu: – Rendben, Géza.En: "Alright, Géza.Hu: Tudom, mennyire fontos számodra a családi ünnep.En: I know how important the family celebration is to you.Hu: Találkozunk a nagy tölgyfa alatt egy órán belül.En: We'll meet under the big oak tree in an hour."Hu: Géza az egyik végéről, Ilona a másikról kezdték el bejárni a piacot.En: Géza started browsing the market from one end, while Ilona started from the other.Hu: Géza már-már feladta volna, hogy talál valami különlegeset, amikor megpillantott egy ragyogóan színes, kézzel festett húsvéti tojást.En: Géza was about to give up on finding something special when he spotted a brilliantly colorful hand-painted Easter egg.Hu: Bár az ára kicsit magasabb volt, mint amit eredetileg tervezett, a tojás szépsége teljesen elvarázsolta.En: Although the price was a bit higher than he originally planned, the beauty of the egg completely enchanted him.Hu: Ilonával a megbeszélt helyen találkoztak.En: They met at the agreed spot.Hu: Ilona kosara tele volt finom süteményekkel és illatos virágokkal.En: Ilona's basket was full of delicious pastries and fragrant flowers.Hu: Amikor Géza megmutatta neki a ritka díszt, Ilona nem habozott, hogy beleegyezzen a vásárlásba.En: When Géza showed her the rare decoration, Ilona did not hesitate to agree to the purchase.Hu: – Ez a tojás tökéletes lesz az ünnepi asztalra – mondta Ilona melegen.En: "This egg will be perfect for the festive table," said Ilona warmly.Hu: Géza számára ez egy tanulságos pillanat volt.En: For Géza, it was an enlightening moment.Hu: Rájött, hogy nem mindig a legolcsóbb út a legjobb, hanem néha az érték, amit egy különleges pillanat hozhat.En: He realized that not always the cheapest way is the best, but sometimes the value that a special moment can bring is more important.Hu: Végül boldogan, teljességgel ellátott kosarakkal és a szép tojással kiléptek a piacról.En: Finally, they left the market happily, fully equipped with their baskets and the beautiful egg.Hu: Géza új felismeréseket szerezve értékelte, hogy néha fontosabb a pillanat varázsa, mint a költségek csökkentése.En: Géza, with new insights, appreciated that sometimes the magic of the moment is more important than cutting costs.Hu: Ilona pedig megértette, milyen sok munkát és figyelmet szentel Géza a családjuk boldogságának.En: Ilona, on the other hand, understood the amount of work and attention Géza dedicates to their family's happiness.Hu: Így tértek haza, készen arra, hogy a legszebb húsvéti ünnepet rendezhessék, amit valaha tartottak.En: And so they returned home, ready to host the most beautiful Easter celebration they had ever held.Hu: A Ködös Mocsár Piaca élmény maradt számukra, tele színekkel, ízekkel és a szeretetteljes pillanatokkal, amelyek még ennyi év után is csodálatos emlékek formájában élnek tovább.En: The experience at the Ködös Mocsár Piaca remained with them, filled with colors, flavors, and loving moments that, even after all these years, continue to live on as wonderful memories.

Lost wallets and malfunctioning car trunks may sound like the start of a comedy sketch, but they actually set the stage for a profound reflection on joy and the unexpected blessings in life. As we share a laugh over these chaotic moments, the conversation deepens into the transformative power of faith and the Holy Spirit within our City Light Church community. From the incredible moment of witnessing 24 individuals publicly declare their faith through baptism to navigating challenges like Pastor Bo's unexpected illness, we find strength in God's unconditional love and the joy it brings, regardless of circumstances. As election day looms near, the discussion takes a turn towards civic responsibility and moral duty. By drawing parallels between apostles Peter and John, we explore how their imperfect journeys offer valuable lessons on living authentically in faith. Emphasizing the contrast between religious obligation and a genuine spiritual relationship, we reflect on the freedom found in embracing God's love without the need for earning it, just like the unique insights John received from his deep connection with Jesus. We invite you to connect further with CityLight Church, experience the boundless love and grace that define our mission, and explore more at www.citylightnyc.com

Stephanie sits down with Pam Farrel to discuss a harrowing yet faith-affirming journey through unexpected medical emergencies, profound spiritual experiences in Christ, and the indomitable power of joy. Pam's story is not just one of survival but of thriving through adversity, guided by God's presence, Pam's steadfast faith, and the prayers of many. Heaven's Glimpse and Joy's Power During a medical emergency, Pam felt God's peace envelop her as she transitioned into a medically induced coma. In this state of near-death, she was ushered into heaven, welcomed by angels of various ethnicities, and enveloped in a sacred dance above the gates of glory. Experiencing deep peace and engaging in a mental conversation with God, she saw visions of her loved ones benefiting from her prayers. Her profound spiritual encounter with Christ reaffirmed her mission on earth and underscored the miraculous elements of her faith journey. A Family Visit Turned Medical Emergency What started as a joyful family gathering in Salt Lake City for Mother's Day turned into a harrowing experience for Pam Farrel. In the middle of the night, severe pain led Pam to the emergency room.. The diagnosis was clear: the chilling reality of stage 1 ovarian cancer. Always seeing the bright side of her circumstances, Pam reminds us of the blessing that pain can be, in the crucial role pain played in alerting her to the severity of her condition. Pain allowed for an early diagnosis that is rare with ovarian cancer, which is often not detected until it reaches stage 4. Pam was transferred to a main hospital where a divine coincidence awaited—a Christian oncologist familiar with her book, "Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti." Pam's journey through six rounds of chemotherapy three weeks apart, her struggle with hair loss, and her graceful acceptance of these side effects paint a portrait of resilience. Throughout, Pam continued to contribute to her ministry and even received a Life Impact Award at the Golden Scrolls. Rebuilding and Cultivating Joy Pam's recovery period with her son's family demonstrated the importance of a supportive community. Despite undergoing rigorous treatments, Pam persisted in her work, mentoring others, and presenting at conferences. She emphasizes the key importance of joy, especially during adversity. Pam shares her methods for cultivating joy, including: ·         Proactive Joy : Create a list of simple, joy-inducing activities and commit to one daily. ·         Reflective Joy : Maintain a gratitude journal to note everyday blessings. ·         Rejoice in the Lord : See joy as a proactive choice, focusing on calming actions during stressful times. ·         Creative Joy : Engage in creative activities like Bible art doodling to shift focus away from problems. ·         Interactive Joy : Use joy to enhance relationships, making interactions more positive.

And, when we are home, we live on a boat in Southern California. Through our videos and blogs, we would like to take you with us." Bill and Pam are prolific conference and church communicators. They speak together at marriage and parenting conferences with a unique ability to “speak as one” in all their presentations. Bill helps people gain strength and real-world wisdom through messages at men's retreats and church services. Pam equips and encourages women to be courageous, influential and strong in faith at women's gatherings around the world. With seamless transitions, natural timing and contagious energy, Bill and Pam inspire audiences around the world to live better, laugh often and love skillfully.

As couples watch Bill and Pam present, they see a couple in action, experience the kind of support that builds trust in relationships and can visualize their own success. Bill and Pam don't just teach about marriage, they demonstrate it for their audiences. People who hear them speak say: “They made it simple to be in love again.” “After hearing them, I know what to do next!” “I was nervous about coming because I thought I would hear about what I was doing wrong but boy am I glad I came.” “This was awesome.” “They didn't just tell us what to do, they showed us how.” “We rediscovered each other this weekend.” “We haven't laughed together this much in years.” Find Pam and Bill at https://www.love-wise.com/  Receive Pam's Infectious Joy 30 day e-book by subscribing to her newsletter here: https://mailchi.mp/love-wise.com/infectiousjoy    We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

Finding Hope: Discovering Joy #RTTBROS #Nightlight Discovering Joy in God's Purpose "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." - Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) In the journey of life, few elements are as transformative and essential as a sense of purpose. When we align our lives with God's design, we often find that joy naturally follows. It's as if our Creator has embedded a spiritual GPS within us, and when we follow His directions, we arrive at a destination filled with meaning and contentment. Let's explore how discovering and living out our God-given purpose can be a source of deep, lasting happiness. The concept of purpose is deeply rooted in Scripture. From the very beginning, God created humans with intention, giving them specific roles and responsibilities (Genesis 1:28). Throughout the Bible, we see individuals finding fulfillment and joy when they embrace their God-given callings, from Noah building the ark to Paul spreading the Gospel. Our text speaks of joy coming from "a life well lived in accordance with our perceived purpose." This echoes the words of the Apostle Paul in Colossians 3:23-24 (KJV): "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." When we find our "cause," as the passage puts it - that purpose which energizes and motivates us - we tap into a source of joy that transcends circumstances. This purpose becomes the wind in our sails, propelling us forward even through challenging times. However, it's crucial to remember that our ultimate purpose is not self-defined, but God-defined. As we seek our specific calling, we must always align it with God's overarching purpose for all believers: to glorify Him and make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). The joy that comes from living purposefully is not just a fleeting happiness, but a deep-seated contentment and enthusiasm for life. It's the kind of joy that can wake us up early and keep us up late, not out of stress or obligation, but out of passion and conviction. Application 1. Prayerful Reflection: Spend time in prayer, asking God to reveal His purpose for your life. Listen for His guidance in Scripture, through wise counsel, and in the quiet moments of your heart. 2. Identify Your Gifts: Take inventory of the talents and abilities God has given you. How might these be used to serve Him and others? 3. Explore Your Passions: What issues or causes stir your heart? These might be clues to the purpose God has for you. 4. Start Small: Begin living purposefully in small ways. Look for opportunities to serve in your church or community that align with your gifts and passions. 5. Seek Wise Counsel: Discuss your sense of purpose with mature believers who know you well. They may offer valuable insights and encouragement. Prayer Heavenly Father, we thank You for creating each of us with a unique purpose. Help us to discern the calling You have placed on our lives. Give us the courage to pursue that purpose wholeheartedly, even when the path seems challenging. May we find joy in serving You and others through the gifts and passions You've given us. Let our lives be a testimony to Your goodness and grace. Guide us each day to align our will with Yours, finding fulfillment in living out Your purpose for us. In Jesus' name, Amen. Dig Deeper 1. Read Ephesians 2:10. How does this verse shape your understanding of your purpose? 2. Reflect on the life of Esther, particularly Esther 4:14. How did her embrace of God's purpose for her life lead to both challenges and joy? 3. Consider Romans 12:1-2. How does the renewal of our minds relate to discovering God's purpose for us? 4. Think of a time when you felt most aligned with God's purpose for your life. What characterized that experience? How did it affect your joy and sense of fulfillment? https://linktr.ee/rttbros

This new devotional discusses the importance of spiritual devotion and understanding in one's personal growth and relationships, particularly in marriage. It begins with an encouragement through a song that highlights finding joy and solace in Jesus Christ. The speaker announces a series focused on healing self-inflicted wounds in relationships, emphasizing that many issues arise from one's own actions rather than external sources. The narrative includes a reading from Proverbs 2:1-11, promoting wisdom and understanding as crucial virtues. Furthermore, the speaker stresses the necessity of acknowledging imperfection in oneself and their partner to foster a harmonious marriage. The concept of mutual submission and sensitivity to each other's needs is presented as essential, drawing on the speaker's personal experience from over 40 years of marriage. The key to a happy marriage, according to the speaker, lies in maturity and the understanding of one's spouse, rather than seeking personal happiness alone. The speaker concludes with a prayer for homes needing encouragement and a reminder for listeners to share the message. 00:00 Opening Devotion and Encouragement 00:40 Discovering Joy and Truth in Faith 01:51 Healing Self-Inflicted Wounds: A New Series 04:06 Wisdom and Understanding in Relationships 06:54 The Keys to a Happy, Lasting Marriage 08:35 Maturity: The First Key to a Successful Marriage 10:02 Closing Thoughts and Encouragement --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message

Ever find yourself grinning back at holiday window displays like my friend Lou? That's the magic we're unpacking today—the joy found in the small, everyday moments that we too often overlook. Our conversation meanders through the streets of the mundane, discovering the sparkle hidden within the routine, as we challenge ourselves to alter our daily patterns and take notice of the simple pleasures that surround us. Amidst the holiday cheer, we also acknowledge that joy isn't a one-size-fits-all experience and explore how to cultivate it year-round, even when the tinsel isn't twinkling.

ABOUT TODAY'S SHOW On today's show, Ruby talks about discovering joy beyond drinks this holiday season and the different ways to cope with it. She also talks about keeping January a dry month and refraining from your beliefs.     ABOUT RUBY In the heart of Ruby Williams' transformative journey lies an inspiring tale of liberation and empowerment. Breaking free from the clutches of alcohol in May 2019, Ruby's triumph ignited a cascade of positive changes — shedding pounds, reclaiming vitality, and achieving long-held dreams. Today, Ruby Williams stands tall as a beacon of hope and an Alcohol Freedom Coach, driven by a resolute mission: to guide those who want to change their relationship with alcohol and move to a path of profound transformation. With the potent tools of the This Naked Mind coaching methodology at her disposal, Ruby masterfully wields the art of questioning during her sessions. These dynamic exchanges have the potential to catalyze shifts in mindset, leading to a balance where alcohol assumes a marginal role. By unshackling individuals from the grip of alcohol, Ruby empowers them to embrace possibilities, discovering passions they might never have otherwise explored. With nearly two decades as a wine industry professional, Ruby's past is marked by a relentless cycle of daily drinking as a coping tool for stress. Wrestling with drinking more than intended, she found herself ensnared in a struggle that defied self-rescue, exacerbated by the inseparable ties between her identity and the wine culture. Drawing from her personal journey, Ruby specializes in guiding women who've grappled with alcohol-induced weight gain following bariatric surgery. Armed with empathy born from her own experiences, she guides transformation. Ruby's dedication extends to crafting lives enriched with fulfillment, vitality, and harmony — liberated from alcohol's stranglehold. Residing just an hour north of San Francisco, she is the proud mother of an adult son, and along with her dog and chickens, she finds gratitude in daily meditation and yoga practice.     LINKS SHARED ON THE SHOW www.FreedomRenegadeCoaching.com     ABOUT OUR SHOW Mastery Unleashed (formerly Overcoming Mediocrity) is a podcast for success-driven women who want to empower their thoughts, design their dream businesses, and build beautiful lives that are aligned with their destinies—hosted by Bestselling Author and Business Strategist Christie Ruffino.

Money, Money Money, must be funny in a rich man's world! If I were a rich manYa ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum... You know....why are all these songs about rich MEN?! Our guest today, Eileen Joy, is "The Money Coach for Moms" and founder of Money School for Moms™ that teaches high achieving moms how to create wealth so they can have a healthy relationship with money and stop living paycheck to paycheck. Eileen created an easy system that any busy mom can follow and specializes in working creates a safe and comfortable environment to learn about one of the most avoided and taboo subjects, money. No more Shame, Guilt, or embarrassment Today, we explore with Eileen how to get to the root of our own money stories and how to rewrite those stories to create abundance and financial freedom. Rewriting your own money story stops the subconscious generational patterns and then you get to empower your own children and help them rewrite their own money stories from a place of abundance. Baby ....at the end of this episode, we're all going to be singing a different tune about money...It's all about the money, money, money! If I had a million dollars, if I had a million dollars... In this episode, Eileen teaches us: To create a new money story you must first understand the money story you grew up with, plan and then...rewrite your money story so you can begin to shift your mindset about money. To tune into your current money story ask, "how did your parents and family manage and/or talk about money?" "What did you take from that?" and "How do you manage your money now?" Practice "values-based spending" by allocating your money to those things that are most important to you. Understand that money coaching isn't about the numbers, it's about finding a way to live your dream live through your money. It is about how you spend, save and share, because the more money you have, the more good you can do with it! It's about then feeling GOOD about spending your money instead of guilty. Create a portion of your budget for "guilt free" fun spending so that you DON'T beat yourself up by spending money and enjoying it!
