Story Transcript:Hu: A tavaszi napsugarak aranyosan világították be a falu kis szavazóhelyiségét.En: The spring sunbeams cast a golden light over the village's small voting room.Hu: A fa gerendák és a kisméretű ablakok melegséget sugároztak, míg a magas mennyezet alatt az emberek izgatottan beszélgettek.En: The wooden beams and the small windows radiated warmth, while under the high ceiling, people chatted excitedly.Hu: Mindenki tudta, mennyire fontosak a mai önkormányzati választások.En: Everyone knew how important today's local elections were.Hu: Zoltán, a közösség elismert asztalosa, lassan haladt előre a sorban.En: Zoltán, the community's esteemed carpenter, slowly moved forward in the line.Hu: Az asztalosmesterségben szerzett hírneve miatt sokan tisztelték őt, de Zoltán szíve mélyén bosszúságot érzett a falu régimódi szabályai miatt.En: Due to his reputation in carpentry, many respected him, but deep down, Zoltán felt frustration over the village's old-fashioned rules.Hu: Tudta, hogy a döntése ma számítani fog, és ez nyomasztotta őt.En: He knew that his decision today would matter, and this weighed on him.Hu: Katalin, a fiatal tanárnő, lendületesen magyarázott a mellette állóknak valami új jelöltről.En: Katalin, the young teacher, was energetically explaining something about a new candidate to those standing beside her.Hu: Tüzes lelkesedéssel próbálta meggyőzni őket, hogy a közösség fejlődése érdekében változásra van szükség.En: With fiery enthusiasm, she tried to convince them that for the sake of community development, change was necessary.Hu: Katalin úgy érezte, hogy az emberek elszántsága elapadhat, ha nem támogatják az új irányt.En: Katalin felt that people's determination might fade if they did not support the new direction.Hu: A jelenlegi polgármester, Árpád, akinek jövője is most múlik a választásokon, szintén ott volt.En: The current mayor, Árpád, whose future was also at stake in the elections, was there as well.Hu: Barátságosan kezet rázott mindenkivel, miközben belül aggódott a pozíciója megtartása miatt.En: He shook hands with everyone in a friendly manner, while internally worrying about retaining his position.Hu: Bár sokan kedvelték őt, ismert volt arról, hogy ellenáll a hirtelen változásoknak.En: Although many liked him, he was known for resisting sudden changes.Hu: Zoltán súlya alatt roskadozott a döntés terhe.En: Zoltán was weighed down by the burden of the decision.Hu: Bár Árpád stabilitást és biztonságot ígért, Zoltán tudta, hogy a falu az ő vezetése alatt megállt a fejlődésben.En: Although Árpád promised stability and security, Zoltán knew that under his leadership, the village had stagnated.Hu: Ezzel szemben a változás lehetősége, amit Katalin képviselt, izgalmasnak tűnt, de egyúttal ijesztő is.En: In contrast, the possibility of change represented by Katalin seemed exciting yet daunting.Hu: Amikor Zoltán végre a szavazóurnához ért, a kezében tartott papírlap galacsinokká gyűrödött az izgalomtól.En: When Zoltán finally reached the ballot box, the paper in his hand crumpled into wads from the excitement.Hu: Mélyet lélegzett, és körülnézett.En: He took a deep breath and looked around.Hu: A falubeliek, a barátok, a család – mind itt voltak.En: The villagers, friends, family—everyone was there.Hu: Az ő jövőjükért szavazott most.En: He was voting for their future now.Hu: Még egyszer végiggondolta, amit eddig hallott.En: Once more, he thought through everything he had heard so far.Hu: Az ismerős kényelme vagy az ismeretlen lehetősége?En: The comfort of the familiar or the possibilities of the unknown?Hu: És akkor, hirtelen elhatározásra jutott.En: And then, he suddenly made a decision.Hu: Kezében megsimította a lapot, majd határozottan bekarikázott egy nevet.En: He smoothed the paper in his hand and then decisively circled a name.Hu: A választása a változás mellett szólt.En: His choice spoke for change.Hu: Ahogy a szavazólapot az urnába ejtette, megkönnyebbültnek érezte magát.En: As he dropped the ballot into the box, he felt relieved.Hu: Megdöbbenve tapasztalta, hogy bár kockázatos döntést hozott, mégis bátran vállalta felelősséget.En: He was astonished to find that, even though he had made a risky decision, he had bravely accepted responsibility.Hu: Most már hitt abban, hogy egyetlen ember cselekvése is változást hozhat a közösség életében.En: He now believed that the actions of a single person could bring about change in the community's life.Hu: Miközben kilépett a szavazóhelyiségből a napsütéses tavaszi utcára, Zoltán újfajta reménnyel tekintett a jövő felé.En: As he stepped out of the polling station into the sunlit spring street, Zoltán looked to the future with a new kind of hope.Hu: Tudta, hogy bármi is történjék majd, a döntése hatással lesz, és egy darabig az ő hangja is a közösségéhez tartozik.En: He knew that whatever happens, his decision would have an impact, and for a while, his voice would belong to the

In this powerful episode, Rudi and Anniston Riekstins unpack the emerging paradigm shift around masculine and feminine energy. For too long, society has glorified hustle, control, and dominance—hallmarks of the old masculine. But there's a change happening. A collapse of the outdated masculine frequency is making space for a more integrated, intentional, heart-led model.Rudi shares his personal journey navigating this transformation—from high-performing hustle to a magnetic stillness rooted in presence and self-knowing. Anniston explains how divine feminine and masculine energies exist in all of us, regardless of gender, and how balancing the two leads to power, peace, and alignment.Whether you're a man seeking deeper purpose or a woman looking to understand the shift in energy around you, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to evolve with grace. In this episode, you'll learn:Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of usThe old masculine is collapsing; the new is rooted in presence, stillness, and loveTrue leadership starts with emotional mastery and intentionalityCreating space is more powerful than dominating spaceYour frequency—your energetic state—is your greatest currencyIntegration of masculine/feminine energy leads to alignment and fulfillment

I was asked to watch the Memorial Day celebration in Washington, DC on saturday night. It was very moving and the stories of sacrifice and loss of loved ones for the sake of our Nation was sobering at the very least. I proceeded today on Memorial Day to watch another Memorial Day celebration of sacrifice at Arlington National Cemetery where the President and Vice President of the United States gave very moving speeches and recognized many families who had lost loved ones. In student ministry, these soldiers are mostly still in our wheelhouse of ministry between the ages of 18 to 25 years of age, which is still adolescence.   I felt God's move in me saying, "Get in touch with those you know whose life were almost lost serving our nation" and I was able to reach one of them. Clark Blake was a Recon Marine that served in Vietnam. This means he was the toughest of the tough! I asked Clark to tell his story and he graciously did thouroughly in this interview. Clark and his family are true national and heavenly treasures! _______________________________ Looking for a new student ministry resource? You can read my book “Burn Up Not Out: A Student Ministry Fire Builder's Guidebook” here: https://amzn.to/3PtBTIy Listen to more episodes from the Youth Worker On Fire Podcast here: https://bit.ly/3saDyYq _______________________________ EPISODE CREDITS Email us at: youthworkeronfire@gmail.com Hosted by: Doug Edwards Theme Song: "The One and Only" by The 808 : Listen to more at https://bit.ly/3FTYIAJ Intro/Outro Voiceover: Michael Helms : https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelTheSoundGuy  Edited by: Secret Roots Music House

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.

Story Transcript:Ca: En un racó del món, envoltat de murs blancs i llum neutra, hi havia Jordi.En: In a corner of the world, surrounded by white walls and neutral light, there was Jordi.Ca: Des de feia mesos vivia a la sala d'un hospital psiquiàtric.En: For months he had been living in a psychiatric hospital ward.Ca: Cada dia mirava per la finestra les oliveres i els pins que es movien lleugerament amb la brisa suau de la primavera.En: Every day, he looked out the window at the olive trees and pines that swayed slightly in the gentle spring breeze.Ca: Aquells arbres començaven a mostrar fulles verdes noves, com un recordatori que tot canvia i es renova.En: Those trees were beginning to show fresh green leaves, as a reminder that everything changes and renews.Ca: Jordi passava hores pensant.En: Jordi spent hours thinking.Ca: Volia sentir-se connectat amb el món, amb la vida a fora d'aquelles parets.En: He wanted to feel connected to the world, to the life beyond those walls.Ca: Era un home tranquil i cuidava molt la seva privacitat, però dins seu creixia un anhel de llibertat.En: He was a quiet man who cherished his privacy, but inside him grew a longing for freedom.Ca: Un matí, mentre esmorzava, va escoltar a Marta, una de les infermeres, dient que algú havia de fer un viatge per comprar provisions.En: One morning, while having breakfast, he heard Marta, one of the nurses, saying that someone needed to go on a trip to buy supplies.Ca: Va ser ell qui va aixecar la mà, amb decisió.En: It was he who raised his hand, decisively.Ca: "Jo puc anar", va dir Jordi.En: "I can go," Jordi said.Ca: Marta i Carles, un altre pacient que sempre acompanyava en aquestes sortides, van acceptar.En: Marta and Carles, another patient who always accompanied on these outings, agreed.Ca: Per a Jordi, aquella era una oportunitat.En: For Jordi, it was an opportunity.Ca: A la consergeria, va recollir una llista de queviures i, juntament amb Carles, van sortir del recinte.En: At the concierge desk, he picked up a list of groceries, and together with Carles, they left the premises.Ca: El sol brillava alt quan van arribar al supermercat.En: The sun was shining high when they reached the supermarket.Ca: Jordi sentia l'aire fresc a la cara.En: Jordi felt the fresh air on his face.Ca: Empenyia el carro amb les rodes que feien un soroll peculiar quan rodaven per les rajoles del supermercat.En: He pushed the cart with wheels that made a peculiar noise as they rolled over the supermarket tiles.Ca: Olors de pa acabat de fer i soroll de caixes registradores omplien l'aire.En: The air was filled with the smells of freshly baked bread and the sound of cash registers.Ca: Tot en aquell moment, des de les rialles d'una nena petita fins al murmuri constant de compradors, li semblava extraordinari.En: Everything in that moment, from the laughter of a small child to the constant murmur of shoppers, seemed extraordinary to him.Ca: Jordi se sentia normal, com si formés part d'una pel·lícula quotidiana.En: Jordi felt normal, as if he were part of an everyday movie.Ca: Va recollir la fruita, el menjar enllaunat i el pa que marcava la llista.En: He picked up the fruit, the canned food, and the bread that was on the list.Ca: Tot es feia sense pressa, assaborint cada pas, cada decisió.En: Everything was done unhurriedly, savoring each step, each decision.Ca: Carles, al seu costat, somreia sense parar.En: Carles, by his side, smiled incessantly.Ca: El trajecte de tornada al recinte fou silenciós però ple de significat.En: The trip back to the premises was silent but full of meaning.Ca: Jordi, amb les seves mans fermes al volant del carro, sabia que alguna cosa havia canviat.En: Jordi, with his firm hands on the steering wheel of the cart, knew that something had changed.Ca: Les provisions van ser entregades a Marta, qui li va dedicar un somriure agraït.En: The supplies were handed over to Marta, who gave him a grateful smile.Ca: "Molt bé, Jordi", va dir ella.En: "Well done, Jordi," she said.Ca: A partir d'aquell dia, Jordi es va decidir.En: From that day on, Jordi made a decision.Ca: Va parlar més amb els terapeutes, va començar a participar en els tallers de grup.En: He talked more with the therapists and began to participate in group workshops.Ca: El que abans semblava impossible, ara esdevenia real.En: What once seemed impossible now became real.Ca: Paso a pas, Jordi començava a veure una sortida, un futur més enllà d'aquelles parets blanques.En: Step by step, Jordi started to see a way out, a future beyond those white walls.Ca: El vent seguia bufant entre els pins i les oliveres, però Jordi, dins seu, sentia que el vent ja bufava a favor.En: The wind continued to blow among the pines and olive trees, but

In this deeply intimate and inspiring episode, Rudi sits down with his wife, Anniston Riekstins—not as a co-host, but as a guest—to explore the profound spiritual and emotional awakening that transformed her from the inside out. What began as unexplained sadness evolved into a full-body remembrance of who she really is—beyond the productivity, the proving, and the push.Through grief, stillness, and radical self-honesty, Anniston sheds light on the healing process so many of us resist and the roadmap she discovered that's now available for every woman ready to return to her essence. She unveils Coming Home to Her, a free 7-day voice activation experience designed to help women reconnect with the power, peace, and purpose already within them.If you've felt like you're in between identities, disconnected from your body, or unsure of who you are becoming—this episode is your invitation to come home.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with award-winning author and environmental advocate Virginia De Francisco!

"...As far as East is from West..." (Psalm 103:12) That's how far God separates our sins from us. He gives us MERCY when we deserve punishment. He Gives us GRACE when we deserve to be chewed up and left in our misery... or worse.   Billy's (one of my former youth students) story is a humbling one for a senior in high school. I hope his story helps you to see one of your young teenage students the way God sees them. God has personally shown me plenty of MERCY and GRACE that I do not deserve. I hope as you listen in to this episode that you see how God is speaking through you. _______________________________ Looking for a new student ministry resource? You can read my book “Burn Up Not Out: A Student Ministry Fire Builder's Guidebook” here: https://amzn.to/3PtBTIy Listen to more episodes from the Youth Worker On Fire Podcast here: https://bit.ly/3saDyYq _______________________________ EPISODE CREDITS Email us at: youthworkeronfire@gmail.com Hosted by: Doug Edwards Theme Song: "The One and Only" by The 808 : Listen to more at https://bit.ly/3FTYIAJ Intro/Outro Voiceover: Michael Helms: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelTheSoundGuy  Edited by: Secret Roots Music House
