Comme toujours, nous commencerons notre émission par un tour d'horizon de l'actualité. Notre premier sujet de discussion sera la condamnation à mort prononcée à l'encontre de l'ancien président Bachar al-Assad pour crimes de guerre et crimes contre l'humanité. Ensuite, nous parlerons de l'attitude de défi qu'a eue le Premier ministre israélien Benyamin Netanyahou envers le président américain Donald Trump. Netanyahou a publiquement et sans équivoque rejeté le plan de paix pour Gaza en 15 points de Trump. Notre sujet suivant porte sur la décision du ministère danois de l'Éducation de lutter contre l'augmentation de l'utilisation de l'IA pour tricher. Désormais, les lycéens devront présenter à l'oral leurs devoirs écrits. Et pour finir, nous parlerons de la réouverture du célèbre restaurant danois Noma.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : The Use of the Subjunctive with Certain Phrases and Expressions.

Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine : Mi-figue, mi-raisin. En raison des fortes chaleurs, les vendanges ont déjà commencé dans certaines régions françaises, battant un nouveau record de précocité. Nous verrons que les vignerons estiment que la récolte sera faible en quantité, mais bonne en qualité. - La Syrie condamne Bachar al-Assad par contumace à la peine de mort pour crimes de guerre - Netanyahou préfère défier Trump sur la question de Gaza plutôt que de perdre le soutien de sa base électorale - Le Danemark va exiger des lycéens qu'ils présentent leurs examens écrits à l'oral - L'un des restaurants les plus célèbres au monde rouvre ses portes, mais avec une nouvelle direction - Le ministère de l'Intérieur accepte d'expérimenter une nouvelle signalisation routière - Les vendanges de certaines régions ont déjà commencé, battant des records de précocité

What does worship that is acceptable to God look like (Hebrews 12:28)? From the exhortations in Hebrews 13 we learn that worship is not confined to a sanctuary. Worship that is acceptable to God encompasses how we relate to other believers every day.

From Sunday 7/19, CrossLife lead pastor, Ricky Massengale, takes a pause from our progression through the book of Hebrews to do an in depth look at the Sabbath. Using various passages throughout Hebrews, Ricky focuses on the importance and practice of the Sabbath.

The first six verses of the final chapter of the Letter to the Hebrews contain exhortations related to our life together in the body of Christ. In this message we consider what it means to continue in brotherly love and to entertain strangers.

Dedicaremos la primera parte del programa a discutir la actualidad. El primer tema de conversación serán las nuevas sanciones de la UE contra Rusia. Esta vez, el objetivo de las sanciones es diferente, y tiene relación no solo con la guerra de Ucrania, sino también con la seguridad europea a largo plazo. La segunda conversación tratará sobre un artículo publicado en The Economist. Los autores discuten las leyes contra el discurso racista de Brasil, las más estrictas del mundo, y se preguntan si están resolviendo profundas desigualdades sociales. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a un estudio que indica que una vida más larga no necesariamente significa una vida más saludable. El estudio ha descubierto que, aunque la esperanza de vida global se ha disparado hasta los 73,8 años de edad, gran parte del tiempo adicional de vida se pasa en un mal estado de salud. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa con una discusión sobre Michelin, conocida por sus evaluaciones de restaurantes, que ha lanzado ahora su primera guía de bodegas. Como se esperaba, la decisión no estuvo exenta de polémica. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Imperative Mood - Part IV (Negative). En esta conversación hablaremos de un nuevo proyecto de ley para endurecer la normativa sobre el tabaco en España. Entre otras medidas, esta ley ampliará las zonas prohibidas para fumar, como las terrazas de bares y restaurantes. Aunque esta medida busca proteger a los jóvenes del mal hábito del tabaco, no todo el mundo está de acuerdo con este proyecto de ley. De nuevo, algunos ciudadanos apuntan a la libertad individual y la economía para rechazarla. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Ser otro cantar. Hablaremos de los nuevos votantes españoles, ciudadanos de edades entre 18 y 20 años, y la política. Parece ser que un porcentaje alto de jóvenes varones españoles es partidario de la ultraderecha. Sin embargo, no hay tantas mujeres de esta misma franja de edad que prefieran partidos de ultraderecha. Analizaremos las causas de este giro a la derecha en los jóvenes votantes y discutiremos los motivos de esta brecha generacional. Las nuevas sanciones de Europa contra Rusia persiguen la seguridad europea ¿Están resolviendo profundas desigualdades sociales las estrictas leyes contra el discurso racista de Brasil? Un estudio descubre que una vida más larga no significa una vida más saludable Michelin genera polémica al ampliar su guía de restaurantes e incluir también fincas vitivinícolas Prohibición de fumar en cualquier espacio público Los nuevos votantes españoles y la política

Ps Greg Thomaz - One House Three Expressions by Dr Theo And Beverley Wolmarans Ministries

If we want to have a "dangerous" faith, we need to recognize we've been sanctified—set apart for God's purposes in the earth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it looks like when we purposefully seek God and desire to mature in our faith. We'll have to learn to rely on the Holy Spirit because obedience to the Lord often comes with vulnerability. But Pastor Allen shares how we've been made overcomers through Jesus, and he emphasizes our need for godly community. All of our favorite heroes in the Bible led with dangerous faith, and God wants that for us, too. Let's not be satisfied with anything less than the intentional pursuit of the Lord.

A creative, body-based guide to healing for queer, trans, and gender-expansive readers—somatic tools and expressive arts to feel safer in your body, rewrite your story, and sustain connection. Queer Expressions: Expressive Art and Somatic Therapy Practices for Healing Body Trauma (North Atlantic Books, 2026) is a practical, consent-centered guide to healing body trauma through embodiment and creativity. Drawing on somatic therapy—grounding, breath, orientation, gentle movement—and expressive arts—collage, drawing, clay, movement, music, voice—within a harm-reduction frame of pacing, choice, and safety plans, Wednesdae Reim Ifrach (REAT, ATR-BC, LPC) shares grounded practices, case vignettes, and simple rituals to help you move from shut down or on high alert into steadier, more connected living. The book follows a simple arc: first, feel and steady your nervous system; next, turn those sensations into art and story; and finally, build rituals and relationships that help the changes last—whether you're navigating dysphoria, ED recovery, chronic stress, or nervous system dysregulation. Inside you'll find: Body check-ins (quick prompts to name sensations and needs), short breath & movement practices (1–10 minutes), and sensory prompts (sight/sound/touch/smell/taste) Art invitations (collage, drawing, movement, sound/voice) with step-by-step guidance and safety notes Consent & harm-reduction tools (opt-in/out menus, pacing, crisis planning) to keep the work manageable Community practices & rituals (altar-making, release-writing, witness circles) to anchor change in daily lif A queer-centered lens on healing, embodiment, and creativity Warm, inclusive, and usable on your own or with a therapist, Queer Expressions helps you build a more livable relationship with your body—and a story big enough to hold who you are becoming.

La primera discusión trata sobre el futuro de la OTAN. Con Estados Unidos decidido a redistribuir sus recursos militares, ¿puede Europa asumir la responsabilidad de su propia defensa? La segunda noticia trata sobre combinar la política y el deporte. Hablaremos de la polémica que rodea al presidente Donald Trump y a la FIFA. Continuaremos con la advertencia de la ONU sobre el posible aumento de la desigualdad a causa de la rápida adopción de la IA. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa de hoy con las buenas noticias que llegan desde París. El pasado sábado, la ciudad volvió a permitir nadar en el río Sena. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Imperative Mood - Part I. En esta conversación hablaremos de las veces que alguna ciudad española ha organizado la salida oficial del Tour de Francia. Este es uno de los eventos deportivos más emblemáticos del año.

Sin embargo, ¿ponemos el mismo esfuerzo en organizar nuestra Vuelta que la salida del Tour? ¡Compararemos las dos carreras ciclistas! Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Hacer la visita del médico. Hablaremos del rígido protocolo de emergencia que tiene la Casa Real española cuando los monarcas visitan algún lugar.

Come sempre, la prima parte della trasmissione è dedicata alle notizie di attualità. Il primo argomento riguarda le celebrazioni per il 250° anniversario della Dichiarazione d'Indipendenza degli Stati Uniti. I festeggiamenti sono in pieno svolgimento a Washington e in tutte le parti del Paese. Ma per chi di noi ricorda i festeggiamenti del 1976 per il 200° anniversario degli Stati Uniti, questa ricorrenza ha lo stesso significato? Proseguiremo, poi, con una discussione sulla rete di rifugi climatici in Spagna. Spiegheremo di cosa si tratta e perché a questa iniziativa viene attribuito il merito di aver salvato delle vite. La nostra sezione scientifica sarà dedicata alla risata.

Iniziamo la trasmissione con una discussione sugli eventi di attualità. Il Primo Ministro britannico si è dimesso a soli due anni dalla sua schiacciante vittoria elettorale. C'è una lezione da trarre per i leader del mondo occidentale? È il segnale di una crisi delle democrazie occidentali? La nostra seconda notizia riguarda gli incessanti insulti di Trump ai leader europei. Ne hanno abbastanza? L'ultimo attacco rivolto al Presidente del Consiglio italiano rappresenta un punto di svolta? La sezione scientifica sarà dedicata a un affascinante studio che spiega perché alcune farfalle vivono 25 volte più a lungo di altre. Infine, parleremo di una crisi che ha colpito Boston. I bar della città sono rimasti senza birra!   La seconda parte di questa puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è The Passive Voice and the si passivante, che esploreremo attraverso un dibattito su una recente decisione della Corte di Cassazione italiana: il diritto dei ristoranti di rifiutare ai clienti l'acqua del rubinetto, una sentenza che ha sollevato parecchie perplessità. Nel finale, poi, daremo spazio all'espressione idiomatica del giorno, Cercare col lanternino. La ritroveremo all'interno di un dialogo dedicato alla splendida spiaggia di Punta Molentis, in Sardegna — un angolo di paradiso dalle acque turchesi, amatissimo da chi cerca mare incontaminato e natura selvaggia. Quest'estate, però, chi vorrà visitarla dovrà rinunciare all'ombrellone: una misura che, come immaginate, sta facendo discutere. - I leader occidentali sono minacciati dalle stesse forze che hanno portato alle dimissioni di Starmer - I leader europei stanno finalmente tenendo testa agli incessanti insulti di Trump? - Gli scienziati studiano perché alcune farfalle vivono 25 volte più a lungo di altre - Boston rimane vittima felice dell'invasione scozzese - Acqua del rubinetto al ristorante: in Italia non è un diritto - Mare, sole e polemiche: il caso Punta Molentis

Comenzaremos el programa discutiendo la actualidad. Solo dos años después de su aplastante victoria, el primer ministro británico ha decidido dimitir. ¿Encierra esto una lección para otros dirigentes de Occidente? ¿Es señal de una crisis en las democracias occidentales? Nuestra segunda noticia trata sobre los constantes insultos de Trump a los líderes europeos. ¿Se han hartado ya? ¿Es el último insulto a la primera ministra de Italia un punto de inflexión? El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a un fascinante estudio, que ha descubierto que algunas mariposas viven 25 veces más que otras. Y, para acabar, hablaremos de una crisis en Boston. ¡Los bares de la ciudad se quedaron sin cerveza! El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Verbs of Change - Part I. En esta conversación hablaremos de algunos memes, muy utilizados en España, con caras de famosos. Los tenemos con cantantes jóvenes y cantantes mayores, o incluso políticos. Todos estos memes se usan para comunicar un estado de ánimo con sarcasmo o ironía. Sin embargo, deberíamos saber si usamos estos memes con licencia digital correctamente. ¿Saben estos famosos que usamos sus caras y sus gestos? Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, A perro flaco, todo son pulgas. Hablaremos de lo que en España llamamos "el destape". Esta es una época en la que hubo un inicio de libertad de expresión en el cine justo después de la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco. Se hicieron muchas películas en las que salían mujeres desnudas. Sin embargo, hoy en día, y visto en retrospectiva, nos preguntamos si muchas de esas actrices, mitos eróticos de los setenta, fueron, en realidad, explotadas. Los líderes occidentales se ven amenazados por las mismas fuerzas que provocaron la dimisión de Starmer ¿Están los líderes europeos plantando cara finalmente a los constantes insultos de Trump? Los científicos estudian por qué algunas mariposas viven 25 veces más que otras Boston es una feliz víctima de la invasión escocesa ¿Por qué triunfan los memes? El destape español

Sometimes, God is waiting for us to invite Him into our days before He demonstrates His power to bring healing and freedom. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the transformational power of prayer. As the culture around us becomes more hostile to God's truth, we can't step back in fear—we must be assertive and intentional with our faith and with our prayers. Pastor Allen shares biblical examples of times when praying for God's intervention brought otherwise impossible freedom and deliverance. When we go to Him in humble prayer, we too can experience our Lord's mighty power to save!

Wir beginnen den ersten Teil unseres Programms, der wie immer aktuellen Ereignissen gewidmet ist, mit einer Diskussion über die Zukunft der freien Schifffahrt in der Straße von Hormus. Wir sprechen über die Bereitschaft europäischer Länder, Marineeinheiten zur Sicherung der Meerenge zu entsenden. Unser nächstes Thema sind die Versuche der Ukraine, die russischen Versorgungswege zur Krim abzuschneiden. In den letzten Monaten hat die Ukraine ihre Offensive zur Schwächung der russischen Kontrolle über die Halbinsel mit Raketen und Drohnen verstärkt. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil sprechen wir über eine Studie, die zeigt, dass das sozioökonomische Umfeld eines Kindes dessen Gehirnentwicklung stärker prägt als jeder andere Faktor. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über die bisherigen Überraschungen bei der Fußball-WM. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Adverbs of Manner – Part 1. Wie in jedem Land auf der Welt gibt es auch in Deutschland nationale Eigenheiten. Dazu gehört die Freikörperkultur, eine kollektive Nacktheit, die oft an speziell dafür ausgewiesenen Stränden zu beobachten ist. Sie wird häufig mit der ehemaligen DDR in Verbindung gebracht, was gesellschaftliche Gründe hat. Unsere Redewendung diese Woche ist ein Auge zudrücken. In diesem Zusammenhang sprechen wir über das Aus des deutsch-französischen Kampfjet-Projekts FCAS. Bundeskanzler Merz und Präsident Macron beendeten das Programm einvernehmlich, nachdem in wichtigen Punkten keine Einigung erzielt werden konnte. Wir werden mögliche Alternativen diskutieren.

Equanimity unfolds as we find a wise balance and spaciousness in the midst of this living, dying world. This series reflects on four primary expressions of an awake, wise heart: lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. In each talk we explore the habitual patterning that blocks our full realization of these innate capacities, and the understandings and practices that nurture their unfolding. In this talk, Tara explores how equanimity—the spacious, awake presence that can hold life just as it is—is an essential foundation for love, compassion, and joy to fully flourish.  Drawing from Buddhist teachings on the Brahmaviharas, we reflect on how equanimity is not indifference or passivity, but a courageous openness that allows us to stay present with pain without hardening into blame or fear. Through stories, poetry, guided reflection, and practical meditation instruction, she invites us to discover the freedom of becoming "the ocean" that can hold all the changing waves of experience with compassion and care. In this talk, you'll discover: How equanimity creates the inner balance that allows love, compassion, and joy to mature and deepen The difference between true equanimity and emotional withdrawal or indifference How mindfulness and kindness help us move from reactivity into wise, compassionate presence The practice of "being the ocean, not the waves" when facing fear, conflict, or uncertainty How equanimity supports healing, courageous action, and a heart that is "ready for anything" A guided meditation for working with difficult emotions and relationships with awareness and compassion This talk is especially supportive for anyone seeking emotional balance, mindfulness, self-compassion, spiritual awakening, healing relationships, and finding peace in uncertain times.

Joy blossoms in the moments our hearts open boundlessly to reality, to the 10,000 joys and sorrows. This series reflects on four primary expressions of an awake, wise heart: lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. In each talk we explore the habitual patterning that blocks our full realization of these innate capacities, and the understandings and practices that nurture their unfolding. In this talk, Tara explores: • How the "if-only" mind keeps us leaning forward, chasing happiness in the future, rather than discovering the aliveness and freedom available right here, right now • How the trance of "something is wrong" contracts our hearts, and the deep, compassionate presence that can free us to love life just as it is. • The power of mindful presence—how pausing, softening, and truly receiving this moment allows joy to naturally arise. • How gladdening the mind—through gratitude, love, and wonder—can shift our set point for happiness and awaken a deep trust in the unfolding of life.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Compassion – the tender resonance of heart – awakens as we allow ourselves to be touched by our shared vulnerability.   This series reflects on four primary expressions of an awake, wise heart: lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. In each talk we explore the habitual patterning that blocks our full realization of these innate capacities, and the understandings and practices that nurture their unfolding.    In this talk, Tara explores  ✨the all-inclusive nature of compassion in awakening our hearts and embracing all beings with care and presence. ✨ how evolutionary conditioning limits compassion, yet reveals our brain's natural wiring for empathy and connection. ✨ the common blocks to compassion, like fear, stress, and busyness, which pull us into a trance of disconnection. ✨ the essential role of self-compassion and kindness toward ourselves in deepening our ability to care for others. ✨ how to make compassion a lasting trait, by fully feeling and savoring moments of care so they shape who we are.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music
