Let's dive in. Play is just as important. We explore how well‑intentioned adult expectations can unintentionally shape a child's inner world. When children are frequently directed—told what to do, how to do it, and at whose pace—they begin meeting adult expectations rather than developing healthy self‑regulation. This can narrow their curiosity, limit creativity, and reduce their freedom to explore, leaving them believing there is only one “right” way to do things.Host June speaks with Mariko, a former early childhood educator, and Ruth, a stay‑at‑home mum and clinical psychologist. Together, they share why growth is still possible—for both children and parents. Intentional parenting can create space for autonomy, exploration, and emotional development, helping children grow confidently at their own pace.A key theme is the importance of playing. Play supports cognitive, social, and emotional growth, helping children with problem‐solve, imagine, negotiate, and understand their world. It restores creativity, confidence, and trust.--Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

Wie hat Kirche Nachfolge verloren – und was bedeutet das für dich?Von der leidenschaftlichen Bewegung der ersten Christen über Institution und Tradition bis hin zum modernen Event: Diese Predigt nimmt dich mit auf eine Reise durch 2.000 Jahre Kirchengeschichte – und stellt eine ehrliche Frage: Leben wir noch als Nachfolger Jesu oder nur als Besucher?Kirche begann als Bewegung. Menschen teilten ihr Leben, trugen einander, hörten auf Gottes Stimme und folgten Jesus im Alltag. Mit der Zeit entstanden Strukturen, Traditionen und Events. Vieles davon ist wertvoll – doch wo Nachfolge zur Option wird, verliert Glaube seine Kraft.Diese Botschaft lädt dich ein, nicht im Publikum zu bleiben. Glaube ist die Tür. Nachfolge ist der Weg. Es geht nicht nur darum, an Jesus zu glauben, sondern mit ihm zu leben – Montag bis Sonntag.Vielleicht ist heute der Moment, Jesus neu zu vertrauen und deinen nächsten Schritt zu gehen: Beziehung vertiefen, Gemeinschaft suchen, Verantwortung übernehmen.Du bist herzlich eingeladen, Kirche als Bewegung zu erleben.

Wie konnte die Jesus-Nachfolge im Lauf der Kirchengeschichte aus dem Blick geraten?War die Entwicklung von Bewegung zu Institution, von Tradition zu Event unvermeidlich – oder haben wir unterwegs etwas Entscheidendes verloren?In Folge 2 des Podcasts Mit Jesus unterwegs spricht Markus Wenz ehrlich über die vier Akte der Kirchengeschichte: die leidenschaftliche Bewegung der ersten Christen, die konstantinische Wende, Tradition, Reformation – und unsere moderne Event-Kultur. Es geht nicht um Anklage, sondern um eine ehrliche Bestandsaufnahme: Wo wurde Nachfolge durch Zugehörigkeit ersetzt? Wo wurde Glaube zur Tradition statt zur Lebenspraxis?Diese Episode ist für dich, wenn du verstehen willst, warum Kirche heute ist, wie sie ist – und wenn du dich nach echter, alltagsnaher Jesus-Nachfolge sehnst. Auch dunkle Kapitel wie Kreuzzüge und Machtmissbrauch werden nicht ausgeblendet, sondern reflektiert – mit der Frage: Wie leben wir heute anders?Vielleicht ruft Jesus dich nicht zurück in die Vergangenheit, sondern hinein in eine neue Reformation – weg vom Konsum, hin zur gelebten Nachfolge.► Weitere Infos & Links► Unsere Predigten & Podcasts:https://www.gospel-forum.de/medien#Podcast► Neu hier oder auf der Suche nach Anschluss?https://www.gospel-forum.de/connect/► Keine Gemeinde vor Ort?

Der FC St. Pauli ist weit mehr als "nur" Fußball, ein Beispiel dafür ist die Marathon-Abteilung. Wir sprachen mit Anke und Jessy unter anderem über den "Lauf gegen Rechts". Bereits seit 2012 organisiert die Marathon-Abteilung des FC St. Pauli den "Lauf gegen Rechts". Was als kleine Demo begann, ist inzwischen eine feste Institution im Hamburger Laufkalender, die leider thematisch wichtiger denn je ist. Wir hatten mit Anke und Jessy zwei Personen aus dem Orga-Team zu Gast und sprachen über den FC St. Pauli, die Marathon-Abteilung und natürlich den Lauf selbst, und was es dabei alles zu beachten gibt. Der Lauf findet dieses Jahr am 31. Mai statt, meldet Euch an und seid dabei. Dies ist auch als gemütlicher Spaziergang möglich, ebenso "dezentral" als solidarische Geste an anderen Orten.

Obwohl es die Heiratsstrafe abzuschaffen gelte, führe die Individualbesteuerung (Abstimmung am 8. März) lediglich zu neuen Ungerechtigkeiten, erklärt SVP-Nationalrätin Monika Rüegger vom Nein-Komitee. Die Vorlage, die von einer «unheiligen Allianz» aus SP und FDP befürwortet wird, sei ein «ideologischer Frontalangriff auf die bewährte Institution der Ehe» und klassische Familienmodelle.

This week's special 151st episode was recorded in front of a live audience at last year's brilliant Transforming Infrastructure Performance Summit hosted by Bentley Systems and the Institution of Civil Engineers in Toronto Canada.In fact, right about the time this episode is published I will be in Melbourne helping the team to deliver the next event in this TIP series – so look out for podcast flowing out of that!Back to this episode and my guest is Peter Weltman, Vice Chair of the Canada Infrastructure Council, Director at consultant Technomics and until 2023, Financial Accountability Officer for Ontario.We discuss the critical issue of Housing-Enabling Infrastructure and its impact on the future of Canada's Communities – and in particular the work being done to help Canada respond to its growing housing challenge,. Because Canada's housing challenge is not just about bricks and mortar - it's about the infrastructure that makes communities liveable, sustainable, and connected. Roads, transit, water systems, energy grids, digital networks, and social infrastructure all form the backbone that enables housing to be built, scaled, and supported over the long term. Without this foundation, new homes risk becoming isolated developments rather than thriving communities.As population growth accelerates, climate shocks intensify, and affordability pressures mount, the question is not whether Canada needs more homes, but whether we can deliver the enabling infrastructure at the speed and scale required. That means moving beyond fragmented planning toward coordinated investment, smarter regulation, and nation-building programs that unlock land and create confidence for both communities and private investors. The creation of the new Major Projects Office (MPO) should help by creating a single point of contact to get projects built faster – the question is how - and what needs to change first.The Council is at the heart of shaping Canada's infrastructure ambitions – we'll hear how later on – and has just produced its first National Infrastructure Assessment report which I reckon will provide essential reading for all.So lots to chat through, and I kicked off by asking why is infrastructure so critical to solving Canada's housing challenge. ResourcesCanadian Infrastructure CouncilCIC National Infrastructure Assessment report - Building Foundations for Tomorrow:Transforming Infrastructure Performance Toronto SummitTechnomics website

“When we role-model with authenticity, the children pick it up.” - EricMany men today wrestle with their masculine identity, torn between projecting strength and suppressing vulnerability.In this episode, Aaron speaks with educator and father of four, Eric Loh, who offers heartfelt reflections on raising boys in a rapidly changing world. From the rise in emotional struggles among teens to the pressures of social media and shifting ideas of success, Eric underscores the crucial role parents play in nurturing resilient, grounded young men. He highlights the power of modelling as a father—demonstrating faithfulness, responsibility and a teachable posture—traits shaped not through instruction but through the consistency of daily life.Eric also shares candidly about strengthening parent–child relationships through connection: with values, authority and community. He reminds us that discipline, when paired with love and presence, becomes a pathway for growth rather than fear. As boys navigate vulnerability and independence, parents must work together, not against each other.Based on what he sees in you today, what kind of man is your son becoming?--Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

ANTHROPOLOGY REGENERATES CULTURE. Simone Verde is a museologist and art historian who was appointed Director of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy, in December 2023, replacing Eike Schmidt who moved to Capodimonte. From 2014 to 2016 Simone Verde was head of scientific research at the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, and from 2016 to 2023 he directed the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta in Parma, Italy, whose total restoration and refurbishment he completed. Verde studied Theoretical Philosophy in Rome and Paris, has a doctorate in Anthropology of Cultural Heritage, and a degree in Museology and Art History at the École du Louvre. "The strength of art, of heritage, is its capacity to regenerate itself through centuries and time and cultures." "The icons of the museum are promoted by social media, and this is both an opportunity and a problem." "We have to be a universal museum in terms of audiences. That makes the work we do much more complicated."

They unpack why digital friction is far more than an IT problem—it's a barrier to academic success, mental health, and student belonging.From the mounting demand for unified platforms to the hidden equity issues plaguing your tech stack, this episode makes a compelling case for why the student experience must be reimagined—and what institutions can do today to make real progress.Guest Name: Shana Holman, Head of Strategic Engagements & Alliances, PathifyGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: As Pathify's Head of Strategic Engagement and Alliances, Shana Holman partners with university leadership teams and Pathify's customer advisory board to navigate the complex challenges facing higher education today.With extensive experience in both higher education and EdTech partnerships, she brings practical insights on how universities can leverage integrated technology solutions to create more connected campus experiences while maximizing their existing technology investments.Shana lives in Denver, Colorado and enjoys the Colorado mountains with her family and 2 yellow labradors.

Host Stefan Lassnig begrüßt Gabriela Bacher (zugeschaltet aus den USA) und Sebastian Loudon. Ausgangspunkt des Gesprächs ist die Klausur „Acht Tische für die vierte Gewalt“, die im November 2025 auf Schloss Hernstein stattfand und Vertreter:innen aus Journalismus, Medienmanagement, Recht, Wissenschaft, Politik, Zivilgesellschaft und Brancheninstitutionen an einen Tisch brachte. Bacher schildert, wie die digitale Umbruchszeit, autokratische Tendenzen und die Fragilität der Medienfreiheit zur Idee führten, Medienfinanzierung und Medienförderung gemeinsam neu zu denken. Loudon beschreibt das bewusst unösterreichische Setting: nicht ORF und Verleger im Hinterzimmer, sondern 64 Stakeholder, die in wechselnden Tischkonstellationen Probleme, Wunschzustände und konkrete Maßnahmen für ein zukunftsfähiges Fördersystem erarbeiten. Die Gäste erläutern zentrale Resultate: ein einheitliches, politikfernes Förderwesen mit sturmsicherer Institution, ein Kriterienkatalog samt Selbstregulierung, mehr Fokus auf resiliente Geschäftsmodelle, eine Deckelung von Regierungsinseraten sowie die Einbeziehung der Creator Economy und von Neugründungen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Rolle von Big-Tech-Plattformen, die Notwendigkeit wirksamer Regulierung auf EU-Ebene und der Aufbau eines „European Public Open Space“ als Alternative zu US-Plattformen. Intensiv diskutiert wird außerdem, warum Medienkompetenz nicht nur Schulthema ist, sondern gerade für ältere Generationen zentral wird – und wieso ein starker, öffentlich-rechtlich finanzierter ORF mit verfassungsrechtlicher Absicherung als Bollwerk gegen autoritäre Angriffe gilt. Zum Schluss sprechen die drei über Reaktionen auf Hernstein – von Begeisterung bis zur „Praxisferne“-Kritik des VÖZ – und darüber, wie die Ergebnisse in die laufende Reform der Medienförderung unter Medienminister Andreas Babler einspeisen könnten, ohne der Politik einen fertigen Forderungskatalog zu diktieren.Links zur Folge:Acht Tische für die vierte GewaltBericht im „Standard“ zu „Acht Tische für die vierte Gewalt“Alles Journalismus, oder was?

We know the headline miracles—Incarnation, Eucharist, Resurrection. But what about the quieter moments that don't come with spectacle? Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore why God preserves room for trust, why Eucharistic “flesh-and-blood” phenomena are less than the Eucharist itself, and how faith matures when we live the mysteries (not rank them). Through the three lenses—self, others, under God—we look at spiritual health as a habit of trusting love, not a hunt for proofs.Key IdeasGod invites freedom, not coercion: He offers evidence, then leaves space for trust—the essence of love.Signs vs. Sacrament: visible Eucharistic phenomena are signs; the Eucharist is the whole living Christ (Body, Blood, Soul, Divinity).Don't “rank” feasts: Christmas, the institution of the Eucharist, and Easter are one saving mystery unfolding—each essential.Living the unseen: deeper attention at Mass reorients daily life; think “spiritual health plan” (prayer, confession, charity) that steadies mind and relationships.Faith grows by practice: name doubts honestly, choose trust, and act—grace meets you in motion.Links & ReferencesScripture named (no links):Doubting Thomas (John 20:24–29)Institution of the Eucharist (Matthew 26:26–29; Mark 14:22–25; Luke 22:14–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)Signs confirming authority to forgive sins (Mark 2:1–12)CTAIf this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Has American democracy outstripped its constitutional accommodations? Faith in the resilience and adaptability of the US Constitution rests on a long history of finding new ways to make the system work. In The Adaptability Paradox: Political Inclusion and Constitutional Resilience (University of Chicago Press, 2025), political scientist Stephen Skowronek examines the rearrangements that regenerated the American government in the past and brings that experience to bear on our current predicament. He shows how a constitution framed in writing some 230 years ago can run into serious difficulties directly related to its long and impressive history of adaptation. Skowronek connects questions about the Constitution's adaptability to the challenges of democratization. For most of American history, serial rearrangements of constitutional relationships widened the government's purview as a national democracy without giving either nationalism or democracy free rein. Skowronek argues that the politics of adaptation shifted fundamentally with the “Rights Revolution” of the 1960s and `70s when American national democracy approached the inclusion of all its citizens on equal footing. Since then, power and authority have been reconfigured in ways that have steadily magnified conflicts over the essentials of good order. Conservatives aim to dismantle a Constitution that progressives are intent on building upon, and the consensus necessary for a constitutional democracy to function effectively has all but evaporated. No longer a socially bound framework for national action, the Constitution has become an abstract matrix of possibilities, a disembodied opportunity structure open to starkly different, mutually unacceptable futures. Rather than being liberated by this unbound Constitution, the American people now appear entrapped by it. Is it possible that the development of American democracy has exhausted the adaptive capacities of the Constitution? A timely reminder that constitutional democracies do not survive on faith alone, The Adaptability Paradox is a sober appraisal of the unfamiliar ground on which we now tread. Professor Stephen Skowronek is Pelatiah Perit Professor of Political Science and Professor in the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University. He is the author of many books on American Political Development, the presidency, and the administrative state.

Guest: Ronald White. Chamberlain returned to Bowdoin College as its president, attempting to modernize the institution by introducing science and broader curricula. He faced resistance from conservative trustees and alumni but persisted in his vision for a progressive education. Religious tensions also arose as Unitarianism gained influence; Chamberlain remained inclusive, even as Fanny and his daughter left the Congregational church. Throughout this era, he continued to be a highly sought-after speaker at veterans' reunions, outshining famous generals like Grant and Sheridan with his ability to weave classical literature and deep meaning into his war recollections.1863 GETTYSBURG

Joseph Sternberg challenges the Trump administration's antagonistic view of the EU, citing polls showing the institution remains popular among Europeans. He argues that US policy should not be based on the expectation of the EU's collapse, noting that the UK's exit was unique to its specific history and not a continental trend. 1810 BRUSSELS
