Radio Marija ir klausītāju veidots radio, kas nes Dieva Vārdu pasaulē. Radio Marija balss skan 24 stundas diennaktī. Šajos raidījumos klausītājiem kā saviem draugiem neatkarīgi no viņu reliģiskās pārliecības cenšamies sniegt Kristus Labo Vēsti – Evaņģēliju, skaidru katoliskās Baznīcas mācību. Cenšamies vairot lūgšanas pieredzi un sniegt iespēju ielūkoties visas cilvēces kultūras daudzveidībā. Radio Marija visā pasaulē darbojas uz brīvprātīgo kalpošanas pamata. Labprātīga savu talantu un laika ziedošana Dieva godam un jaunās evaņģelizācijas labā ir daļa no Radio Marija harizmas. Tā ir lieliska iespēja ikvienam īstenot savus talantus Evaņģēlija pasludināšanas darbā, piedzīvojot kalpošanas prieku. Ticam, ka Dievs īpaši lietos ikvienu cilvēku, kurš atsauksies šai kalpošanai, lai ar Radio Marija starpniecību paveiktu Latvijā lielas lietas. Radio Marija ir arī ģimene, kas vieno dažādu vecumu, dažādu konfesiju, dažādu sociālo slāņu cilvēkus, ļaujot katram būt iederīgam un sniegt savu pienesumu Dieva Vārda pasludināšanā, kā arī kopīgā lūgšanas pieredzē. "Patvērums Dievā 24 stundas diennaktī", - tā ir Radio Marija Latvija devīze. RML var uztvert Rīgā 97.3, Liepājā 97.1, Krāslavā 97.0, Valkā 93.2, kā arī ar [satelītuztvērēja palīdzību un interneta aplikācijās](http://www.rml.lv/klausies/).

"Lēdija Makbeta mani atrada", tā saka Latvijas Nacionālās operas soliste Jūlija Vasiljeva, kura pirmo reizi iejutīsies šajā lomā Džuzepes Verdi operas "Makbets" atjaunotajā iestudējumā, kas ceļu pie skatītājiem sāks 17. janvārī Latvijas Nacionālajā operā. Iestudējumā debitēs arī solists Jānis Apeinis.  "Lēdijas Makbetas tēls absolūti nav viegls, un laiks, kas bijis dots lomas sagatavošanai, ir bijis visai garš. Pirmais posms bija muzikālā materiāla apguve, šobrīd esmu līmenī, kad mēģinu lomā iedziļināties psiholoģiski un neteikšu, ka tas ir viegli. Mēģinu saprast un sev attaisnot to, ko lēdija dara. Beigu beigās nonācu pie secinājuma, ka šis stāsts, kurš ir ļoti traģisks un melns, pilns asinīm, ir arī stāsts par mīlestību, par to, cik ļoti lēdija Makbeta savu vīru mīl. Viņa ir gatava iet līdz ar šo cilvēku un piedalīties it visā, ko viņš grib darīt. Šī kopīgā tieksme uz varu... Tā ir tāda perversa, bet tomēr mīlestība." Uzvedums pirmizrādi piedzīvoja 2016. gadā, to veidojuši muzikālais vadītājs un diriģents Mārtiņš Ozoliņš, režisors Viesturs Meikšāns, scenogrāfs Reinis Suhanovs, kostīmu mākslinieki "Mareunrol's", gaismu mākslinieks Kevins Vins-Džonss, horeogrāfe Linda Mīļā, videomākslinieks "-8". Pašu pirmo reizi Rīgā opera "Makbets" iestudēta 1975. gadā. "Makbets" ir Verdi desmitā opera un pirmā, kurai iedvesmu sniegusi Viljama Šekspīra daiļrade, par kuru komponists jūsmojis kopš agras jaunības.

Par šā gada Eiropas labāko filmu Eiropas Kinoakadēmijas biedru balsojumā atzīta franču režisora Žaka Odijāra kinolente “Emīlija Peresa”. Kannās pirmizrādītā filma ir savdabīgs mūzikla, trillera un komēdijas sajaukums, kura satura pārstāsts izklausās gandrīz absurdi – filmas centrā ir meksikāņu narkobarons, kurš vēlas kļūt par sievieti, falsificē savu nāvi un nonāk identitātes meklējumos starp savu veco un jauno dzīvi, pagātnes grēkiem un šodienas jūtām. Kad par franču “dzīvo klasiķi” dēvētais režisors Žaks Odijārs uz Eiropas Kinoakadēmijas skatuves kāpa pirmoreiz, saņemot balvu par labāko režiju, viņš jokoja, ka ir sagatavojis nevis vienu, bet divas un varbūt pat trīs runas, jo ir optimists. Otrajā runā kā nu jau arī labākais scenārists viņš lūdza sevi vairs nesaukt par “Jacques Audiard”, bet gan par “Jacques Award” jeb “Balvu Žaku”. Bet trešoreiz uz skatuves kāpa visa filmas komanda, jo “Emīlija Peresa” uzvarēja vairāku tūkstošu Eiropas Kinoakadēmijas biedru balsojumā par Eiropas labāko filmu. Filma “Emīlija Peresa” ir neparasta. “Pilnīgi traka,” vēlāk saka kinokritiķe Dita Rietuma. Odijāra radītais stāsts par meksikāņu narkobarona pārvērtībām un identitātes meklējumiem ietekmīgo narkotiku karteļu un to karos nogalināto cilvēku tūkstošu kontekstā šķiet tik dīvains, ka to pat nav vērts mēģināt paskaidrot ārpus kopējās filmas estētikas. Filmā piedalās un arī dzied un dejo spožs spāņu un amerikāņu aktrišu ansamblis – Zoja Saldana (Zoë Saldaña), Selēna Gomesa (Selena Gomez) un Karla Sofija Gaskona (Karla Sofía Gascón) – viņa ir pirmā transpersona, kas saņēmusi labākās aktrises balvu gan Kannās, gan tagad arī Eiropas Kinoakadēmijas ceremonijā. Saņemot balvu, Gaskona teica, ka speciāli uzvilkusi zilu kleitu, lai izrādītu cieņu Eiropas vērtībām – taisnīgumam, demokrātijai un likumu ievērošanai. Aktrise Karla Sofija Gaskona, kura savulaik bija pazīstama kā aktieris Huans Karloss Gaskons (Juan Carlos Gascón), ir no Spānijas, bet jau ilgus gadus dzīvo un strādā Meksikā. Tieši tur norisinās arī filmas “Emīlija Peresa” darbība. Kritiķu atsauksmes par filmu “Emīlija Peresa” ir ļoti pretrunīgas. Angļu valodā vien varat izlasīt visu no sajūsmas līdz nopēlumam. Kinokritiķe Dita Rietuma, kura šo filmu redzēja pirmizrādē Kannu kinofestivālā, pieder pie sajūsminātajiem. Vēl pirms Eiropas Kinoakadēmijas balvu pasniegšanas viņa sarunā atzinusi, ka “Emīlija Peresa” ir viņas šī gada mīļākā filma. Un to apstiprina arī intervijā pēc ceremonijas, kurā “Emīlija Peresa” ieguva visas galvenās balvas. Žaka Odijāra filma “Emīlija Peresa” ir Francijas pieteikums “Oskariem”. Vai tā iekļūs starp nominantiem, uzzināsim janvāra vidū. Jaunajā gadā filma varētu nonākt arī Latvijas kinoteātros.

"Klasikā" tiekamies ar dziedātāju Etīnu Emīliju Saulīti: runājam par Ralfa Vona-Viljamsa mūziku, kas skanēs koncertā 6. decembrī Rīgas Domā, muzicējot kopā ar ērģelnieci Līgu Īvāni un sitaminstrumentālistu Reini Tomiņu, par gaidāmajiem notikumiem, kas saistīti ar Emīla Dārziņa mūzikas vidusskolas absolvēšanu un sava ceļa meklējumiem vokālajā mākslā. *** 6. decembrī pulkste, 19 Rīgs Doma kbūs iespēja dzirdēt jauno un daudzsološo soprānu Etīnu Emīliju Saulīti, kura, vēl tikai būdama Emīla Dārziņa mūzikas skolas audzēkne, šī gada jūnijā pārstāvēja Latviju 42. Hansa Gabora jauno operas solistu konkursā un iekļuva finālā. Par izcilu sniegumu Etīna saņēma trīs īpašās balvas: Dzintaru koncertzāles balvu, Džeinas Kārtijas memoriāla balvu un Nīderlandes Nacionālās operas balvu. Šajā programmā satiksies divas mūzikas pasaules – Johana Sebastiāna Baha pārlaicīgums un monumentalitāte ar 20. gadsimta britu komponista Ralfa Vona Viljamsa spilgto tēlainību, pastorālajām noskaņām un īpaši skaisto melodismu. Ralfs Vons Viljamss bija angļu nacionālais simfoniķis, kā arī kaislīgs folklorists. Viņu iedvesmoja rakstnieki un dzejnieki Šekspīrs, Viljams Bleiks un Volts Vitmens. Viljamsa mūzikas kvalitātes brīnišķīgi atklāj cikls “Piecas mistiskas dziesmas”, ko caurstrāvo apcerīgums, dialogs ar Mīlestību, Dieva slavinājums un krāšņa muzikālā valoda. Bet īpašs virtuozitātes izaicinājums vokālistiem ir Trīs vokalīzes, komponista ‘‘Gulbja dziesma''.  Soprāns Etīna Emīlija Saulīte teic: ‘‘Ar Ralfa Vona Viljamsa mūziku esmu pazīstama jau sen, un man tā ir ļoti tuva. Šī komponista daiļradei piemīt neparasta spēja uzburt spilgtas ainavas un emocijas, kas, manuprāt, Ziemassvētku gaidīšanas laikam ļoti piestāv. Viljamsa opusi šajā reizē izskanēs nestandarta pārlikumos, sabalsojoties soprāna, ērģeļu un marimbas tembriem.'' Baha mūzikas cēlsvinīgo prieku sastapsim viņa ērģeļkompozīcijās, bet Baha liriskā intimitāte izskanēs komponista skaņdarbu pārlikumos marimbai.  Džona Ebenīzera Vesta “Fantāzija par divām Ziemassvētku dziesmām” ieskandinās klasisko un tautas melodiju mijiedarbi, savukārt Viljamsa “Fantāzija par angļu tautas dziesmu ‘“Greensleeves'' būs kā klusa refleksija par ziemas laika mūžīgo burvību. Baha diženums šajā koncertā satiksies ar Viljamsa smalko liriku, veidojot mākslas pasauli, kas atvērs klausītāju sirdis mierpilnai pārdomu svētku gaidīšanai.  

Entrevistamos a Kolibrí y el Piñas de Marea para hablar de la reedición de su disco de debut. Sale por primera vez en vinilo y con los temas remasterizados. Es un álbum muy importante porque es el primero y estaba descatalogado, por lo que el grupo le da mucha importancia para tener sus 8 discos disponibles.

Vīteņaugiem papildus balsti, ķirbjiem, melonēm un arbūziem apgriezt liekos pumpurus un bieža zāliena pļaušana. Kādi vēl dārza darbi darāmi jūlijā?  Svarīgākos šī brīža dārza darbus apspriedīsim ar Jāņa Aldermaņa dārzkopības direktori, bioloģijas zinātņu doktori Viju Rožukalni un dārzkopi, kokaudzētavas "Dzērves" saimnieci Marutu Kaminsku.

"Klasikā" tiekamies ar trim jaunajiem māksliniekiem – soprānu Etīnu Emīliju Saulīti, pianistu Daniilu Mickeviču un aktieri Arti Jančevski, kuri koncertprogrammā "DEBISĪ. Ir jāpiedzīvo..." ar mūzikas un teātra starpniecību klausītājus un skatītājus iepazīstinās ar izcilā franču impresionista Kloda Ašila Debisī dzīvesstāstu. Šis koncertuzvedums 30. jūnijā pulksten 19 kļūs par pēdējo notikumu, kas izskanēs Lielajā ģildē pirms tās renovācijas. Programmā "DEBISĪ. Ir jāpiedzīvo...", kuram scenāriju rakstījusi Madara Rutkēviča, Kloda Ašila Debisī personību portretēs viņa paša kompozīcijas un vēstules, kuras viņš rakstījis gan sev tuviem cilvēkiem, gan tā laika labi pazīstamiem māksliniekiem mūzikas un citās kultūras jomās, atklājot ne tikai savu ārējo dabu, bet arī filozofiju un dziļās jūtas pret mākslu un dzīvi. Vakara gaitā izskanēs gan Debisī klavierminiatūras, gan dziesmas balsij un klavierēm, turklāt lielu daļu programmas veidos mazāk zināmu skaņdarbu klāsts. "Impresionisms man ir tuvs," uzsver pianists Daniils Mickevičs. "Bija liels prieks pētīt šo mūziku, atklāt jaunus skaņdarbus un tos izpildīt. [Līdz šim] ar franču vokālo kamermūziku neesmu bijis tik cieši saistīts, tāpēc man ir jo īpašs prieks atklāt jaunu mūziku, daloties šajā atklājumā ar klausītājiem." Koncertā tiks uzburta sapņaina, mierpilna, impresionistiska noskaņa, kas ļaus skatītājiem aizdomāties par garīgajām vērtībām un aizmirst ikdienas steidzīgo rutīnu. "Mums bija svarīgi uzburt mājīgu, ļoti sapņainu, patīkamu gaisotni, lai pēc iespējas precīzāk atainotu paša komponista dzīvi," stāsta soliste Etīna Emīlija Saulīte. "Jā, tas noteikti nebūs visvienkāršākais stāsts, jo Debisī dzīvē bijis daudz pārdzīvojumu, par kuriem runāt, un [tam] ir pieejams plašs muzikālais atspoguļojums."   Tikām Artis Jančevskis saka tā: "Vēlamies radīt to brīvo atmosfēru, kurā cilvēks ar cilvēku sarunājas; to sajūtu, kad gribas dalīties ar savu dzīvesstāstu – pastāstīt, kā klājas man, kā klājas citiem, kā es uztveru dzīvi. Lai tā būtu tāda mīļa, harmoniska saruna pie apaļā galda, kur visi sēž, ēd, čalo… Tiešām – tāda viegluma un brīvības sajūta."

Liepājas Starptautiskajā zvaigžņu festivālā 21. marta koncertā "Lielā dzintara" Jurgelaiša zālē klaviermūzikas cienītāji varēs piedzīvot izsmalcinātu ceļojumu laikā un klausīties Friderika Šopēna, Sergeja Prokofjeva, Jozefa Haidna un Filipa Glāsa mūziku, ko atskaņos pianiste Aurēlija Šimkus. Ar Aurēliju Šimkus tiekamies Klasikas studijā, pārrunājot koncertus Vācijā un turpmākos viņas radošos plānus, par atkalatgriešanos Liepājā un netipisko programmas izvēli, par studijām Itālijā un Latvijā, kā arī par gaidām, kādas rodas pirms jaunu skaņdarbu apgūšanas. "Man pašai tā brīnišķīgā un maģiskā sajūtas rodas tad, kad pašā centrā ir mūzika, kad mūzika uzplaukst pati par sevi, ka mēs visi tajā piedalāmies, un tas var notikt tikai konkrētajā brīdī," viņa saka.

Lija Hogan is a principal on the Experience Research Strategy team at UserTesting. When she's not helping UserTesting customers understand the wide variety of topic areas they can cover using the platform, she teaches user research methods classes at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor.    Questions • Could you share with our listeners just a little bit about your journey? • Could you tell our listeners a little bit about what UserTesting is? And what do you do? • A survey was done that your company pioneered with 2000 adults. And I'd like you to just kind of talk to us a little bit about that survey and some of the key findings that came out of that survey that you believe can help organisations to have a better understanding of why AI is so important. •    Where do you see the technology going for 2024? If you were to pick like a single theme that you believe Chat GPT could help an organisation to tap into delivering a better customer experience, what theme would you say they would need to be focusing on if they were going to use Chat GPT as an integration or even any form of AI that your organisation has been exposed to and work with your clients on that you think is critical for 2024 and beyond? • Now, could you also share with our listeners, what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely cannot live without in your business? • Could you also share with our listeners maybe one or two books that you've read, could be a book that you read very recently, or even one that you read a very long time ago, but it has had a very big impact on you. • Can you also share with our listeners what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. • Where can listeners find you online? • Now, before we wrap our episodes up, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you'll tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you got derailed, or you got off track, the quote can helps to just to get you back on track.   Highlights Lija's Journey Me: Could you share with our listeners just a little bit about your journey? In your own words, how you got to where you are today from where you're coming from?   Lija shared that it was a very roundabout journey. So, she started with the goal of becoming an academic librarian in Slavic and Eastern European studies. So, most people are very amused when they hear that because it's a very, very focused and targeted discipline that requires a lot of education.  And she started that path, actually, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor with a Master's Degree Programme in what she thought was going to be academic librarianship, but got bitten by the Human Computer Interaction bug really early there. And so, that was many years ago now. But that was really kind of the entry point to being focused on the user experience and the customer experience and just making really substantive connections between people to help them to transact together more effectively and efficiently.   About UserTesting Me: Now, you are at UserTesting, that's what we read in your bio. Could you tell our listeners a little bit about what UserTesting is? And what do you do?   Lija stated that that's a great question. So, she tends to think of UserTesting as being an enabling technology. So, essentially, it's a platform that enables their customers to connect with their own customers, their users, their employees, their potential users. And what it does is provide recording mechanisms across mobile and desktop, to enable people to have either self-guided, or live conversations with people who are looking for insights.  And they capture videos and audio and screen share, to really get into the perspectives of people around the world. And so, once you've gathered all the information, the platform also provides you with some strategies around sharing that information with your colleagues. And so, you can share videos, you can share quotes, and all sorts of other data to really understand where the gaps are in your experience, and also just to understand what you can do to optimize and de risk the solutions that you're building.   Survey Key Findings to Help Organizations Better Understand the Importance of AI Me: When you were originally presented to me as a guest for our podcast, a survey was shared with us that your company pioneered with 2000 adults. And I'd like you to just kind of talk to us a little bit about that survey and some of the key findings that came out of that survey that you believe can help organizations to have a better understanding of why AI is so important.   Lija shared that they've actually done a few surveys around AI. And this one, really, some of the significant findings were really around just the fact that people don't understand where AI is manifesting in their lives right now. So, to a certain extent, if you ask them directly, they are answering yes and no without a clear sense for what AI really is.  And she thinks one of the major findings that she had in working through that was just really leaning into the knowledge that AI is manifesting in all our lives in many ways, kind of in the background and behind the scenes. And it's already enabling us to, sometimes make better decisions, have access to more information, enrich the work that we're doing, the conversations that we're having. And that is an important benefit that we're all looking for in artificial intelligence.   Organizations Using Chat GPT to Deliver a Better Customer Experience Me: So, AI exists in many different forms, because it's a broad topic. But I think the one that people most connect with and use is probably Chat GPT. It's been a year since Chat GPT was launched, I can't believe it's a year already. Where do you see the technology going for 2024?  If you were to pick like a single theme that you believe Chat GPT could help an organization to tap into delivering a better customer experience, what theme would you say they would need to be focusing on if they were going to use Chat GPT as an integration or even any form of AI that your organization has been exposed to and work with your clients on that you think is critical for 2024 and beyond?   Lija stated that that's a great question, because she think it's really hard to say that there's a single thing, but there are probably multiple ones that she sees as being really important. The first is, we're still trying to figure out what's in and out of bounds with regard to how people are using large language models. So, she finds the examples that we're seeing coming out of the legal profession, right, or lawyers are asking a Chat GPT to write briefs and the platform is hallucinating and making up case law, which doesn't exist. And that's a problem.  So, we haven't yet caught up with creating guardrails and it's not necessarily about the technology so much as about how we reach practical consensus around what is allowable, given the constraints of the technology as it currently exists. And actually, not just as it currently exists, but with an eye towards the fact is probably going to become a lot more matured much more quickly. So, she thinks that's one.   The second is really a more recent development that she's seeing around DIY, Chat GPT and so essentially, people will be able to essentially create their own version of what a large language model can do given a certain use case that they've got in mind. So, she sees the proliferation of a lot of potential technologies use cases strategies that can be leveraged by people who are both technologically seasoned and who are not, who are learning as they go. And she thinks that will be very interesting.  The other main trend that she sees is the enterprise trying to make artificial intelligence safe for practical applications and business operations. And she says that because even just a few months after the launch of 3.5, back in November of last year, she was talking to UserTesting customers, a lot of their innovation teams were essentially doing tests to essentially say, within the context of our own, say, customers experience or customer support teams, how can we create an experience that is robust and safe and private and secure, and gives us confidence that we can triage some.  So, essentially enrich the in person interactions that we're having with people, but also ensure that we're providing good consistent information to those customers that we might be handling using some of those more automated chatbot style experiences that are powered by artificial intelligence.   App, Website or Tool that Lija Absolutely Can't Live Without in Her Business When asked about online resource that she cannot live without in her business, Lija stated that this probably is going to sound self-serving, but actually, it's UserTesting, believe it or not. UserTesting is really important because it's really a very open platform that lets you have both a highly structured as well as an unstructured conversation with the people that you want to work with or learn more from. And she thinks what's so valuable about it is you can test ideas, you can hear what's top of mind for people. And in this world where we've got access to so much data, just hearing stories brings you back down to earth and makes things very tangible and real and we need that now more than ever.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Lija When asked about books that have had an impact, Lija shared that one that she thinks has been most powerful and it's because she's an optimist. And she thinks that it really gave her a research based foundation to be able to say, this is why she's an optimist, is a great book by Chip Heath and Dan Heath, they're actually brothers, they're psychologists, called Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard.  And the concept that she found really fascinating is their focus on not just problem solving, but actually finding those bright spots and going after those, like, where are things going right? And how can we essentially create more experience that look like those bright spots? So, she loves that idea because rather than being focused on all the negatives, it's basically saying how can we make whatever it is that we're doing look like the most positive experiences that we're providing? So, the other one, it's a really short book, it's probably less than 100 pages. But she loves it so much, it's called the The Mom Test: How to talk to customers & learn if your business is a good idea when everyone is lying to you by Rob Fitzpatrick. And even though it's kind of like a flip book title, what she loves about it is, it's a very approachable set of strategies around having conversations with people when you're trying to figure out what to build and whether or not it's going to work for people.    What Lija is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something that she's really excited about, Lija stated that that is a really great question. Because there's so much, but she's actually, to the point of the books that they were talking about, the biggest area of focus that she has right now is how to listen better to all the partners that she's working with. And so, she's actually spending a lot of time reading books. So, the two that she talked about are two of them, but a number of books that are all about how does she listen better? And sometimes it's about asking better questions, that's what the Mom Test is about.  But sometimes it's actually saying like, “How do I recognize that people are in a special place right now and need to be acknowledged as having been heard?” But then also, how does she change how it is that she shows up in every way, in the writing that she does, in the talking with folks that she does, in the teaching that she does, in all the interactions to help to move things forward. So, she thinks that there are so many great examples that come from working with children, and psychology, and just even business best practice, to really help to listen and to come to consensus, and just make better decisions together. So, that's really given her a lot of joy right now.    Me: Are there any activities that you do with your team that kind of helps to strengthen their listening skills? Is there anything that you would like to share where that is concerned since that's an area that you'll be working on?   Lija shared that she thinks a couple of things. One is she actually thinks it's kind of twofold. One is she's been spending a lot more time doing one on ones that are very unstructured. And that has given her the platform across the team that she works with, the people that she works with to really say, “What's top of mind for you, and let's talk about it.” And sometimes they start talking about their dogs and cats. But a lot of the time, what that conversation changes into is, “I'm working on this, can I get your perspective on it?” or “I'm having this challenge, can we work through it together.”  And it's a great way to just stay close to what's happening in their world and their part of the organization, but then also take what it is that they're sharing, and see how she can help to pull in other people across the organization, other teams, and talk to other leaders in the organization about what they can do to address some of the themes and trends that she's seeing. And so, she thinks spending a little bit more time one on one with people has been probably providing a lot of the value that she's seeing driving those aha moments.    Me: That's brilliant, that kind of reinforces one of the things that Stephen Covey talks about in his book that the most important role of a leader is to grow and develop people. So, the fact that you are actually seeing the results, because of the one on one intervention that you're doing, the time you're investing with each person, and you're seeing it twofold in terms of the benefit with the customers, then it really does prove that that is a strategy that works.    Where Can We Find Lija Online LinkedIn – Lija Hogan   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Lija Uses  When asked about a quote or saying that she tends to revert to, Lija stated that that's a great question. So actually, this is totally nerdy, but there's a quote, it's at the beginning of one of the chapters of this is where it gets nerdy, Children of Dune by Frank Herbert. And so, the Dune series, there's a movie, a remake of a couple of movies that are out right now.   And the quote, and she's not going to remember it exactly, but it's really about fear and pain and kind of letting it wash through you. And understanding that it's there, but also understanding that it doesn't define you and it doesn't have to have long lasting negative implications. And so, it's basically, go with the flow, but in a way that leans into acknowledging that sometimes things are really hard and you just have to live through them and understand that it's hard, and figure out how you're going to come out on the other side. Change, but change in a way that acknowledges what's happened to you.    Me: Thank you so much, Lija, just want to thank you again for coming on our podcast today and sharing a little bit about your organisation and user testing, and all the value and brilliance that you're bringing to the customer experience space. As well as some of the research findings that came out of one of the surveys that you had done recently. And just the impact of AI, specifically Chat GPT even though we spoke about that in the episode and other different forms of AI as well. But just taking time out of your busy schedule and coming on here with us and sharing all of the great insights and experiences that you've had. I do believe our listeners will gain a great amount of value from this episode.

27. oktobrī Lielajā ģildē un tiešraidē Latvijas Radio 3 "Klasika" pirmoreiz kopā muzicēs somu diriģente Emīlija Hovinga un Latvijas Nacionālais simfoniskais orķestris, programmā iekļaujot svītu no Sergeja Prokofjeva baleta “Pelnrušķīte” un divu čehu autoru darbus. Latvijas pirmatskaņojumu piedzīvos 20. gadsimta čehu komponistes Vitežslavas Kapralovas skaņdarbs Suita Rustica, kas izskanēs līdzās Kapralovas skolotāja –  Bohuslava Martinū – Trešajam klavierkoncertam ar Vestarda Šimkus solo. Emīlija Hovinga savu diriģēšanas karjeru sākusi 2019. gadā, kļūstot par Hannu Lintu asistentdiriģenti Somijas Radio simfoniskajā orķestrī. No 2020. līdz 2022. gadam pildījusi Miko Franka asistentdiriģentes pienākumus Francijas Radio filharmoniskajā orķestrī. Šajā sezonā notikušas debijas ar Zviedrijas Radio simfonisko orķestri, Bornmutas simfonisko orķestri, Gēteborgas simfonisko orķestri un citiem. Ieva Zeidmane: Priecājos jūs sveicināt Latvijā - esat studējusi kopā ar Latvijas Nacionālā simfoniskā orķestra galveno diriģentu Tarmo Peltokoski. Vai pirms braukšanas šurp izvaicājāt viņu par mūsu orķestri? Paldies par aicinājumu uz interviju - priecājos būt šeit Rīgā. Jā, ar Tarmo mēs tiešām esam labi draugi, kopā studējām. Viņš man ir ļoti nozīmīgs kolēģis un ir svarīgi, ka Tev līdzās ir labi kolēģi.  Protams, mēs runājam par darbu, bet neko pārāk detalizēti par orķestri nerunājām. Es viņam uzrakstīju ziņu, kad ierados šeit, jautāju viņam, kur labāk iet paēst un viņš man šo to ieteica. Bet noslēpumus par orķestri neatklāja? Manuprāt, ir svarīgi, ka pati iepazīstu orķestri. Reizēm ir labāk vienkārši iet pie orķestra ar atvērtu prātu un pašai atklāt, kāds ir šis orķestris, kas jāņem vērā un kam jāpievērš uzmanība. Tas ir labāk, nekā ja Tarmo man visu būtu jau atklājis. Tā kā esat gados jauna diriģente, regulāri debitējat pie kāda orķestra diriģenta pults. Ko darāt, kad pirmoreiz stājaties kāda, iepriekš nesatikta orķestra priekšā? Jā, tiekoties ar kādu iepriekš neiepazītu  orķestri, pirmā mēģinājumu diena vienmēr ir patīkami satraucoša. Bet man nav nekādas slepenas receptes, ko darīt, nav nekādas maģijas. Vienkārši daru to, ko vienmēr, proti, koncentrējos uz pašu svarīgāko, un tā ir mūzika. Bet, protams, pirmajā dienā manā galvā notiek analizēšana, jo tā ir nepazīstamu cilvēku grupa. Analizēju visus orķestra aspektus un plānoju, kā organizēsim mēģinājumus. Iepriekš jau nezinu, kādā virzienā vairāk būs jāstrādā. Tātad - vissvarīgākais ir būt pašai, izbaudīt procesu un muzicēt kopā ar orķestri. Ar orķestri jau tikāties mēģinājumā - kāds tad ir virziens, kurā strādāsiet? Jā, pirmajās divās dienās es sapratu, kuriem skaņdarbiem jāvelta vairāk laika, lai mūziķi labāk izprastu to stilu. Kuriem skaņdarbiem vajag vairāk darba, kura mūzika mums ir pazīstamāka, tāpēc tai nevajag tik daudz laika. Tas ir balansa jautājums. Diriģenti ir ļoti dažādi. Ja es jūs lūgtu izveidot savu diriģentes vizītkarti, kas tajā būtu rakstīts? Interesants jautājums! Droši vien tur būtu rakstīts Emīlija Hovinga - diriģente - mīl mūziku un kopš 2019. gada iedvesmo mūziķus. Man nekad nav bijis vizītkartes, tāpēc nav tādas pieredzes, bet noteikti es rakstītu kādu citātu, izvēlētos kaut ko jautru un asprātīgu. Bet, ja skatāmies plašāk, kā jums šķiet - kāda diriģente esat? Vienmēr jau vieglāk analizēt no malas, bet man vissvarīgākais ir, kā jau teicu - iedvesma. Gribu iedvesmot mūziķus, radīt tādu atmosfēru un atvērtību, lai varam mūziku radīt kopā. Laba tehnika, protams, diriģentam ir vajadzīga, tomēr vissvarīgākais ir mūzika, mūzikai vienmēr vajadzētu būt pirmajā vietā. Esat spēlējusi klavieres un klarneti. Bet studiju laikā sākāt mācīties spēlēt čellu. Kāpēc? Biju jau sākusi Sibēliusa akadēmijā studēt diriģēšanu, kad četrus gadus mācījos spēlēt čellu. Tā ir daļa no Sibēliusa akadēmijas diriģēšanas apguves programmas - pāris gadus mācīties spēlēt kādu orķestra instrumentu. Paralēli čellam mācījos arī klavierspēli, un nolēmu, ka tā vietā, lai spēlētu klarneti, labāk pievērsīšos kādam stīgu instrumentam, lai labāk izprastu, kā stīgu instrumenti funkcionē. Un šie četri gadi man sniedza tieši šīs zināšanas. Es nebiju laba čelliste, lai gan man ļoti patika spēlēt, patika, kā čells rezonē. Diemžēl čellu biju tikai aizņēmusies no akadēmijas, tagad man mājās šī instrumenta vairs nav, es nevaru spēlēt. Bet es sapratu, kā izmanto lociņu, kā no šī instrumenta izvilināt skaņu, un tas man palīdzēja augt arī kā diriģentei. Bet tieši čellu es izvēlējos, jo tas labi der, ja sāc to mācīties pieauguša cilvēka vecumā. Vijoles spēlē vairāk iesaistīta sīkā motorika, man būtu bijis nepieciešams vairāk laika, lai to apgūtu. Turklāt vijoles pozīcija ne vienmēr ir ergonomiska. Un sākot mācīties no nulles, es nevēlējos riskēt, negribēju savainot kādus muskuļus. Čells bija laba izvēle, jo tas gluži dabiski ir tev klēpī un nevajag ķermeni nekā sagrozīt. Kas vēl pietrūkst? Arfas un sitaminsturmentu spēle? Sitaminstrumenti būtu lieliski! Bet mana nākamā izvēle būtu mežrags, jo metāla pūšaminstrumenti ļoti atšķiras no koka pūšaminstrumentiem, ir atšķirīga spēles tehnika, skaņas veidošana un elpas kontrolēšana, tas būtu interesanti. Sitaminstrumenti vienmēr ir noderīgi, tos man gribētos spēlēt kādā ansamblī, jā, kamermūzika man būtu ļoti interesanta. Parunāsim par gaidāmā koncerta programmu, tajā ir arī mūsu publikai nezināmi darbi, un skanēs arī 20. gadsimta pirmās puses čehu komponistes Vitežslavas Kapralovas Suita Rustica. Kā nonācāt pie šīs komponistes? Godīgi sakot, neatceros. Kaut kā uzdūros viņas mūzikai internetā, atradu viņai veltītu mājas lapu un sāku klausīties. Ir daži ieraksti, tos klausījos un atradu šo darbu - Suita Rustica. Kāpēc mani vilināja šī komponiste? Man vispār patīk meklēt un atklāt mūziku un darbus, kas nav labi zināmi. Domāju, ka diriģenta profesijā ir ļoti svarīgi meklēt un atklāt, jo ir tik daudz mūzikas, par kuru daudzi no mums neko nezina. Tāpēc esmu priecīga, ka atradu šo Suita Rustica. Kapralova man šķiet ļoti interesanta komponiste. Viņa nomira ļoti jauna un tas bija traģisks zaudējums. Jo jau īsā laika posmā viņa bija sarakstījusi apjomīgu repertuāru, ja vien viņa būtu dzīvojusi ilgāk, esmu pārliecināta, ka būtu radījusi vēl ļoti daudzus darbus. Bet esmu pateicīga arī par šiem darbiem, kas mums ir. Suita Rustica pasūtinājums nāca no Londonas, viņi vēlējās darbu, kurā ieskanētos čehu tautas melodijas un dejas. Un tiešām Kapralova savā trijdaļīgajā svītā iekļāvusi vismaz piecas dažādas, autentiskas čehu tautas melodijas. Un vēl ļoti jūtama ir Stravinska ietekme. Kapralovu ļoti iedvesmoja un interesēja Stravinska "Petruška" - tas bija darbs, ko viņa analizēja, pie tā viņa laiku pa laikam atkal atgriezās. Es tiešām šajā Kapralovas svītā saklausu arī kaut ko no Stravinska. Un Stravinskis, savukārt ir viens no jūsu mīļākajiem komponistiem. Jā, tā ir. Iespējams, tieši tāpēc Kapralovas stils man šķiet pazīstams un patīkams. Programmā ir arī Martinū Trešais klavierkoncerts, un Martinū bija Kapralovas skolotājs. Jā, tā ir. Studiju laikā Kapralova dzirdēja Martinū mūziku, tas bija viens no viņa klavierkoncertiem, kas Kapralovu iedvesmoja. Un vēlāk - 30. gadu beigās viņa pārcēlās uz Parīzi un dažus gadus mācījās pie Martinū. Viņa ietekme, manuprāt, Kapralovas mūzikā ir dzirdama. Programmā šoreiz būs Martinū Trešais klavierkoncerts. Man pašai Martinū mūzika ir kas jauns, ar to neesmu agrāk strādājusi. Taču bija ļoti aizraujoši caur šo kompozīciju iepazīt Martinū stilu. Vasarā un aizvadītajos mēnešos es daudz klausījos viņa mūziku, man bija interesanti to atklāt. Un es teiktu, ka klavierkoncerta žanrs Martinū daiļradē ir bijis ļoti nozīmīgs, viņš šim žanram pievērsās visas karjeras gaitā, un klavierkoncerti ir stila ziņā visai atšķirīgi. Martinū stils bieži tiek raksturots kā ļoti eklektisks, dažādas ietekmes viņš savij kopā vienotā audumā, kas tad arī veido viņa paša rokrakstu.  Viņu ietekmējis Stravinskis, džeza mūzika un impresionisms, kā arī čehu tautas mūzika. Šis - trešais klavierkoncerts, manuprāt, ir visai romantisks, bet tajā ir arī neoklasicisma elementi. Interesanta kombinācija. Jā, Martinū kā komponists ir ļoti eklektisks, bet tas veids, kā viņš apvieno elementus, man šķiet unikāls un ļoti svaigs. Runājām par Stravinska ietekmēm, bet trešais komponists šajā programmā ir nevis Stravinskis, bet gan Prokofjevs. Es ieteicu šo skaņdarbu iekļaut programmā, un koncerta otrajā daļā mēs atskaņosim Prokofejva pirmo svītu no baleta "Pelnrušķīte". No šī baleta Prokofjevs pats izveidojis vismaz trīs svītas simfoniskajam orķestrim un šoreiz piedāvāsim pirmo svītu. Tā neseko sižetam secīgi, tajā ir fragmenti no nogriežņi no dažādām vietām baletā, tomēr, manuprāt, ir labi jūtama dramatiskā arka. Kā baletkomponists Prokofjevs ir brīnišķīgs, viņš ir lielisks stāstnieks. Un "Pelnrušķīti" caurstrāvo maģija, to ir ļoti patīkami klausīties un spēlēt. Mēs visi zinām stāstu par Pelnrušķīti, bet interesanti ir, ka Prokofjevs izmantojis vadmotīvus, tas nozīmē, ka melodijas vai kādi instrumentu tembri visā darbā atspoguļo kādu konkrētu personāžu vai emocijas. Klausītājiem un baleta skatītājiem šīs muzikālās izpausmes ir kā norādes, kas nekļūdīgi palīdz saprast - te Pelnrušķīte sapņo par kaut ko skaistu, bet šī mūzika atspoguļo Pelnrušķītes skumjas un nomāktību. Lūk, te, ir nejaukās pusmāsas, bet te - ierodas šarmantais princis. Mūzika kā tāds labs gids mūs vada cauri baleta sižetam. Man pašai visinteresantākie raksturi šķiet pusmāsas - tie raksturi un krāsas, ko Prokofjevs izspēlē ironiskā manierē, pasvītrojot visu ar nazālu skaņas tembru ir ļoti  spilgti arī šajā svītā, ko mēs atskaņosim. Kā jau teicu - šajā mūzikā ir daudz maģijas, bet tajā pašā laikā Prokofjevs atspoguļojis īstas, cilvēcīgas emocijas un jūtas, ar kurām mums katram ir kaut kas kopīgs. Mēs varam sevi asociēt ar to, kas notiek uz skatuves. Krāsas šajā mūzikā ir brīnišķīgi ierakstītas.    Stāstot par Pelnrušķīti jūs smaidījāt, un jau gribēju vaicāt, vai esat romantiķe, bet tad atplaukāt runājot par pusmāsām, nevis princi. Nezinu, laikam romantikas ziņā esmu vidusmēra cilvēks. Parasti es tiešām ļoti izbaudu mūziku, kas atveido dīvainus vai asprātīgus tēlus, tā kaut kā mani uzrunā. Vai tuvākajā nākotnē jūsu plānos ir kas tāds, ko ļoti gaidāt? Gaidāmi vairāki brīnišķīgi koncerti. Šajā sezonā man plānotas vairākas debijas, bet gaidu arī atgriešanos pie orķestriem, ar kuriem jau esmu pazīstama. Ziemas laikā gaidāmas vairākas jaunas vietas , un tas vienmēr ir aizraujoši, tāpat kā šobrīd šeit, Rīgā - jauna pilsēta, jauna atmosfēra, viss šķiet interesants. Bet ļoti gaidu arī nākamo koncertu Francijā, jo tas Francijas Radio orķestrī esmu darbojusies kā diriģenta asistente, bet tagad atgriezīšos tur, lai sniegtu koncertu. Tas ir orķestris, ko es jau itin labi pazīstu un pēc kāda laika tā būs patīkama atkalsatikšanās ar šiem mūziķiem. Gaidu ar nepacietību.

Winstone Oku is a self taught Dreadlocks artist based in Australia.  He started his dreadlocks journey in 2002 after being drawn to the hair style as a youth. He tried various methods of maintaining locks and have come to a place where he believed he can help people with all hair types with their journey too. He believes that because of dreadlocks he has been part of human history for as long as anyone can remember within all cultures and ethnicities around the world. Lija Turner-Carroll has been working with Winstone throughout her dreadlocks education. She started off by helping him with his own hair and then now progressing to helping others. Both Lija and Winstone like to let their work speak for itself, and they value passion and quality above all.

Felipito y su adicción al guaro lija

  Hello dear listeners, In this episode, we talked to Snežana Bačlija Knoch, an educational consultant in the European youth field and a facilitator of learning for nearly two decades. She loves to create encouraging and inviting learning environments, facilitate action-oriented value-based learning, and experiment with (and sometimes create) different educational tools and approaches. We started by trying to understand what creates enriching learning environments. Is it the people? Is it the physical space? It's a combination, for sure, but it's interesting to explore how the environments influence the group and vice-versa. It's not the same thing to discuss diversity with a non-diverse group of people in a plain white room or having a diverse group that goes into town to explore and talk to people on the streets.  As mentioned in our episode about learning experience design, it's important to “start with the learners in mind. Who are they? What do they know already? And how can we help them learn something new?” Now we might add: What environment will this need? What kind of space? What group of people? Of course, in real life, there are spatial limitations, we don't always have the training rooms that we would like to create the environment that would best suit the learning experience, but we can always be creative in how we use it, or explore the surroundings, find a park, a library, a coffee shop nearby, that will help facilitate the discussions and the learning that we are aiming towards. Have you ever thought about the environments that suit your learning the most?  What kind of spaces and people help you learn the best? Know yourself and bring the others with you. A very insightful episode, have a listen and let's keep Talking Youth Work.  

Mums apkārt lērums vielu, kuras esam radījuši, bet nespējam no tām atbrīvoties. Par apkārt esošo piesārņojumu mēs daudz runājam, skatoties uz atkritumiem, kas atrodami pludmalē vai ceļmalā. Bet ir kāda īpaša vielu grupa, kas nonākusi arī pašmāju zinātnieku uzmanības lokā un ko saīsināti dēvē PFAS piesārņojumu. Mūžīgā ķimikālija - arī šāds nosaukums dots šiem fluora polimēriem. Kas tas ir, kur to izmantojam un kāpēc šī ķimikālija nevar sadalīties vidē, raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro zinātniskā institūta "BIOR" pētniece Elīna Palesčnaja. "PFAS nav viena viela, bet vielu grupa, kurā ir ap 5000 piesārņotāju," atklāj Elīna Palesčnaja. "Daži no tiem ir atklāti un arī jau aizliegti." Pfasi, kā tos sauc zinātnieki, nav redzami ar acīm, tās ir kā piedevas. Pateicoties to īpašībām tie ir ūdeni un eļļas atgrūdoši. Ikdienišķā veidā tos var sastapt nepiedegošās pannās vai apģērbos, kas atgrūž ūdeni un netīrumus. "Pfasus ne velti sauc par mūžīgajām ķimikālijām, jo sadalīšanās periods ir pat vairākus gadus. Piesārņojums uzkrājas un samazinās lēnām," norāda Elīna Palesčnaja. "Latvijā zinātnieki veic ikgadējo pfasu klātbūtnes monitoringu zivīs un iekšzemes ūdeņos. , Koncentrācijas nav milzīgas, bet nevar teikt, ka viss ir tīrs." Pētījumi liecina, ka zivīs sagaidāma visaugstākā pfasu koncentrācija. Zinātnieki šobrīd mēģina saīsināt oglekļa ķēdi šajos augsti fluoridētos savienojumos, lai samazinātu noārdīšanas periodu. Putekļu ērcītes mūsu mājās Kur putekļi kamoli, tur arī putekļu ērce. Daudzos gadījumos tā arī varētu būt, lai gan ne katrs putekļu slānītis nozīmēs, ka tur dzīvo mazie radījumi. Tomēr putekļu ērcei patīk cilvēka klātbūtne un garšo tā atstātā ēdienkarte, un cilvēkam dažkārt jārēķinās ar ērces atstāto mantojumu, proti, alerģijām. Mazo putekļu ērces organismu un tās lomu cilvēka dzīvē raksturo entomologs Voldemārs Spuņģis. Mazītiņās ērcītes izmērs ir vien 0,2 līdz 0,3 milimetri, tāpēc tā ar aci saskatāma nav. Šis pavisam mazais radījums mūsu ikdienā ieņem svarīgu lomu un var būt arī cēlonis alerģijām. Bet vispirms tuvāk iepazīsim putekļu ērci zooloģijas skatījumā, un entomologs tālāk skaidro to, kāda ir putekļu ērces un putekļu saistība. Reklāmas triki aicina cilvēkus iegādāties īpašus matračus, segas vai spilvendrānas ar smalki sablīvētiem pavedieniem, kas nelaiž cauri putekļu ērces un to ekskrementus. Jā, nelaiž, taču, ja ērču miteklī nemaz nav, šāds matracis nebūs nepieciešams. Turklāt mājās mums ir daudz sintētisko materiālu, kas ērcēm gaužām nepatīk, jo tādā veidā ērces elektrizējas, kājas pielīp pie materiāla, un ērces vairs nevar parāpot. Voldemārs Spuņģis iesaka vispirms vērsties pie ērču pētniekiem jeb akarologiem un, izmantojot putekļu paraugus, saprast, vai jūsu miteklī ērces dzīvo. Bet ar alerģiskām reakcijām gan būs jāvēršas pie ārsta. Vairāk nekā 95% alergēnu uzkrājas ērces izkārnījumos, un dzīves laikā ērces producē vairāk nekā tūkstošiem izkārnījumu daļiņu. Alergēniem nonākot kontaktā ar cilvēka elpceļiem, ādu vai acu gļotādu, tālāk var attīstītes alerģiskas reakcijas. Kādas tās ir un kā sevi pasargāt, par to telefona sarunā turpina pediatre, bērnu alergoloģe Dita Gaidule-Logina.  

Vasaras vidus ir laiks, kad dārzā sevi var veldzēt gan fiziski, gan garīgi. Visi būtiskie darbi padarīti un ābeles pavēnī var laiski baudīt rīta kafiju. Bet nekas šajā pasaulē nav perfekts. Arī dārzā atradīsies kādi lielāki vai mazāki darbi un darbiņi, kas jāpadara jūlija pirmajās nedēļās. Par tiem raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot atgādina dārzkopības ekspertes: kokaudzētavas "Dzērves"saimniece Maruta Kaminska un Jāņa Aldermaņa dārzkopības direktore, bioloģijas zinātņu doktore Vija Rožukalne. Karstajā laikā, kāds ir šobrīd obligāti jālaista hortenzijas, bukši, rododendri, kā arī puķes ar seklu sakņu sistēmu. Hortenzijas arī jālaista ar mēslojumu! Tāpat rododendrus pēc ziedēšanas. Bet dārzeņiem jāskatās, vai tos nepārmēslo, jo tad arī metas slimības. Zemi no izžūšanas pasargā mulčēšana.

4 (9m 35s): Good morning church. How are we doing? Good. Everybody doing good? Yeah. Sweet. Sweet. I got a few announcements for ya if you're ready for it. So, you know, just hang onto your seats here. We got some good stuff here going on. My name is Curtis, first of all, and I work here at church. I do branding and design and stuff like that. So I'm very blessed to work here. And so this year we've got Easter celebrations happening next Sunday. It's going to be at 10:00 AM. And please, please, please. On your way out, grab a flyer, invite a friend, invite a coworker, invite a neighbor. We've got them at all the exits all the entrances. So please grab a flyer on your way out and invite somebody. 4 (10m 18s): I was actually at, I was going to pick up some faucets for the worship center about a week and a half ago, and the person who was helping me, I just had it on my heart that I should invite them. So I gave her a flyer and she was like so excited and so thankful to receive it. And so if you're, you know, if you're hesitant about it, just, you know, trust the Lord and he'll guide you, it's going to be really good. So also, if you want to sign up for serving for Easter on Saturday, set up or clean up or whatever you want to do, we'll have a QR code on the screen that you can scan and sign up there. Or you can sign up at the info center up the driveway. 4 (10m 59s): Also, if you'd like to be baptized on Easter, we'd love to baptize you. So you can also get more information on that, on the baptism tab, on the website or at the info center as well. And then we had an amazing, amazing cleanup day yesterday. So we had a great turnout, I think 35, 40 people or something like that and got a lot done there. That was great energy. It was super exciting and really fun and just a great time to connect together. So it went really well. And so we're excited about the progress that's happening at the worship center and yeah, it's all, it's all going great. And then M six men's gathering is happening tomorrow night at 6:00 PM. 4 (11m 44s): So a thousand Hills ranch. So if you're a guy and you want to connect with some other guys, it's a great, great opportunity to do that. So with that, let's worship some more 1 (19m 26s): You're faithful. God. We're so thankful Lord for your presence here today. And for the privilege that it is to gather as friends, brothers, and sisters in the Lord, the family of God. Yeah. We just pray that every person gathered would feel your presence. God, that each person gathered would just feel welcomed and loved by the people of God. But also you Lord, that people would just feel your love for them and your grace for them. Lord God. So Lord, we just invite your power and your presence. Lord, we invite you to do supernaturally abundantly above everything that we might hope or imagining Christ Jesus, Lord, that there would just be life changing worship today. 1 (20m 12s): Life-changing prayer today life-changing fellowship today. God, that you'd be glorified. God, we're so honored by your presence. And I pray God that you would fill every room on this campus, every space Lord inside and outside, Lord, God, God, that we would just experience your presence. God, that even as people walk by the front on the sidewalk, Lord, they would just be drawn by your spirit. They would just feel something of your power in your presence. Lord God, that would draw them by your holy spirit. And so Lord, for those who are wondering about you today, I prayed you would reveal yourself to those people in powerful and profound ways. 1 (20m 53s): God, that you would affirm and confirm your existence. Jesus, your love for them, your kindness toward them, your plan for them or Jesus. So bless we pray. Every person gathered young and old everybody. Lord, we pray in Jesus name. Amen. Hey man, you may be seated. I'm going to cover a couple things and then we'll take a little break and then we'll introduce our speaker today. First and foremost, I just want to acknowledge Danny and Norma Gaddis. Can we get Danny enormous picture up there on the screen these guys have been serving. They are, they've been a part of our church for the better part of two decades. And they've been serving our community in the food pantry ministry for years and years and have served literally hundreds and hundreds of families. 1 (21m 44s): They're the people behind all of the baskets at Christmas and Thanksgiving. And they've been out there on Thursdays, passing out food at our food bank for literally years and years and years just they've been a huge blessing and it's their season now to kind of retire from that ministry. So we just wanted to honor them and bless them. It's actually being taken over by a pastor at grace Bible church. And so it's kept, we're seeing a little bit of a transition there. We'll see what happens here at harvest as we move forward. But pastor Mario over at tag grace Bible church is just doing a phenomenal job and providing food for people here and over in Guadalupe. 1 (22m 27s): And so we're really grateful for that partnership that we have with grace Bible and we loved them and grateful for what God has been able to do as we've collaborated together over the years, we wanted to bless them. Also, I wanted to just highlight something for everybody's. There's a new assembly bill that's coming out. It's called AB two, two to three. How many are familiar with AB 2, 2, 2, 3. So let's go ahead and throw up the first slide there. AB 2, 2, 2, 3, it's new legislation that's legalized as self abortion at any stage of pregnancy and it essentially legalizes infanticide in California. 1 (23m 9s): So this bill has been changed. They've been, they've added to this bill so that you can actually, it's going to be legal if it passes to kill your babies up to depending on how you define what they're talking about, but at least up to seven days. But some, some definitions speak of up to a year that you're able to kill your baby up to a year. So it was just as new language added to AB 2, 2, 2, 3 last week revealed that the, a tent, the proposed legislation would shield a mother from civil and criminal charges for any actions or omissions related to her pregnancy, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion or perinatal. 1 (24m 1s): So that's the word, perinatal death at word is defined differently depending on where you look, but it means, you know, the five months or so leading up to delivery and then up to depending on where it's defined and where you look up to a year after. So you can give birth and have a kid at your house for six months and decide you don't want the kid. You can kill the kid and there's no legal recourse or equal there. So, so what we're doing is we're just asking everybody to be aware of this. And if you would like to call, let's put up the next slide here, where it's at right now on April 5th, 2022, the bill passed the assembly judiciary committee. 1 (24m 44s): The next step is the assembly health committee and it's most likely going to be happening on April 19th. So that's this the Tuesday following Easter. And so a lot of people will be at the state Capitol, myself included. And a lot of our staff will be there at the state Capitol on Tuesday, the 19th to pray and to protest this horrific bill. And so let's go and throw up the next slide. I think it gives us a phone number on the next slide. Hopefully. Yeah. So Buffy wicks is a politician up in the bay area. Who's kind of offering this and driving this. And so if you can call and just express your perspective on this, I called yesterday and with great clarity expressed my disapproval. 1 (25m 34s): So if you would like to call and express your opinion, then please call that number (916) 319-2015. I'll have that number as well. So we just want to take a moment to pray and ask the Lord to protect our states. And this is kind of something is happening in New York. And I think, I believe in Washington and California, and then there's another state somewhere, but it's happening. So we just have to be aware. This is a moral outrage is what this is. The scripture is clear about the value of human life we're made in the image of God. And so we have as a church, as a, as believers, as people of faith have to stand up and oppose this type of legislation, these types of laws, they're, they're, they're insane. 1 (26m 20s): So let's go ahead and stand up and pray. And we're going to agree together. Lord, we just agree together in Jesus' name that you would not allow this assembly. Bill 2, 2, 2, 3, to be approved, Lord God, in Jesus' name, we pray God that you would protect kids, protects our, our state and our nation from this type of law being allowed. And so we, we pray in Jesus name and we break the powers of darkness. It's the enemy of our souls is Satan, who is trying to drive this thing through Satan, who hates life and us. 1 (27m 0s): We pray in Jesus' name God that you would be victorious in Sacramento on the 19th, God, that you would protect this state from this atrocity, from this terrible, terrible bill Lord. So we pray God that you would remind us to pray and remind us to participate in the process. Lord, that we might stop this type of thing from happening in our state. Lord God, that we would always pray that your will would be done in our state Lord God, that we would trust you God, for your divine plans and purposes in this state and in this, in this nation, we pray. Thank you Lord, for who you are. Thank you that we have an opportunity to express our opinion and to let governing officials know where we stand. 1 (27m 43s): So help us to do so with clarity and with passion. We pray. Thank you, Lord. Let us remember to pray. We pray every day. Lord, help us remember to pray every day throughout the day for this bill, Lord. And we love you. And we thank you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. So with that to go ahead and turn and greet your neighbor and we'll come right back here. And just a moment 9 (28m 57s): Oh, geez. Oh, geez. Oh, 1 (29m 42s): It's like, Cheryl's got some breakfast for us here. He's got a little applesauce. It looks like he's got some greens. Are you going to make us an omelet? Okay. There'll be a treat. Good, good, good. And so this is cereal. I'll stand down here with serum. So cereals he's been here. This is, I think Cyril's third time with this presentation or similar presentation and it's been five years or so 2017. Okay. So it's been a while since Xero's been here. And so he reached out to me and we talked in the last, I dunno, a few months and there's some music. I liked the music. 1 (30m 23s): Yeah, that's good. Yeah. That's not bad. Right? So we want to welcome Cyril and just, he's going to give us a Jewish perspective. He's a Jewish man completed you. He believes that Jesus is the Messiah. And so Cyril is going to give us his perspective and hopefully a little bit of his testimony I get got saved at USB, right? UCS beam. 11 (30m 45s): No, actually. 1 (30m 47s): Okay. You fill us in. Yeah. Yeah. I'm misremembering already. So let's pray for Sierra and then we'll let him go for it here, Lord. Thank you Jesus. For what Sierra role will bring to us today, we pray that it will enrich our Bible knowledge, our souls, our hearts and minds. Lord God that we would be enriched in every way. Bless our brother. As he brings this message in this word, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. 11 (31m 11s): Hey man. Hey man. Thank you brother. All right. Am I coming in? Great. What a joy to be back here. I was so looking forward to this really. I love you guys. I missed you. It's been five years. I've been in the battlefield in Los Angeles, AKA Gomorrah, Who knows where sodomy is North San Francisco. That's right. Wow. Never thought I'd be speaking in churches. Coming from a Jewish background. I was born in France, grew up in San Francisco. We were the only Jews and an Italian Catholic neighborhood Went to UC. 11 (31m 54s): Santa Barbara got tired of the party scene by my sophomore year. I said, there's gotta be more to life. Started searching gut. But of course I went where you're not supposed to go as a Jew Eastern religion. So I became a Jew BU And dabbled in all that. Eventually went back to my Jewish roots. When I came to see that the Bible is truly of God. When I studied with rabbis in Jerusalem and became a modern Orthodox Jew from 1988 to 93. And in my search, I had a dream and assume me a vision of Jesus and a roadway to heaven and the desert back in Joshua tree. It's a long story, but basically in my search for after this vision, I kept getting the wrong Jesus for four years. 11 (32m 44s): You know that my rabbi said he was a revolutionary, the psychics I was going to said he was some ascended master books. I read said he escaped the crucifixion and went to Southern Europe and had a family. And his kids became the Kings of Europe. I mean just whatever. Finally though, thank God I met a true Christian here in the central coast and my brother was going to Cal poly and I was down here helping him move. And the lady he was renting from was a Christian. And we talked and I saw her Bible and I was looking through it and it had the old and the new Testament in it. I'm like, what's this Gentile doing with my Bible? 11 (33m 26s): And it was all written up. And, and you, I mean, she, it was a Bible and she, we went out to pizza and she shared the gospel with me. And I don't remember a word she said, but I do remember the spiritual piece that she had and I didn't, and I'm supposed to be from the koans and the Levites, I'm an Orthodox Jew something's missing. Anyway, I go back to San Francisco two weeks later, she sends me a big box of books and a five page letter. And I'm like, oh, she's got a crush on me, But I read the letter. And it, what it was was she saw that I was searching and I was thirsting for living water. 11 (34m 8s): And it was these books about the real Jesus evidence that demands a verdict by Josh McDowell, more than a carpenter. And I started reading these books. I was not against Jesus at this time because I'd had this vision of him. And then the next night I had this dream of visitation of a being in such that it is such glory and I's like welding torches. I couldn't even look at them. I thought it was going to die in his presence. It doesn't say anything, but he holds out this parchment with all this writing on it and I couldn't read it, but I knew in my spirit, it was my whole life up to that time. And in big bold letters and a bottom, it said it's time to come home. 11 (34m 49s): And I woke up and I said, something's going to happen to me. So I told my rabbi, who I was studying Kabbalah with. And he tried to give me some crazy answer and that's not it. I finally picked up the Josh McDowell books. And through that, I saw how Jesus fulfilled the many prophecies from the old Testament. These are hidden from my Jewish people, Isaiah 53, Psalm 22 is that gray night. I'm like, why didn't anyone show this to me? And I learned from this a book that you needed a blood of Toman for forgiveness of sin. My Jewish people are not taught this anymore. The rabbis teach, if you fast and pray on Yom Kippur, you're good to go for a year. That didn't work. 11 (35m 29s): So I went through the four spiritual laws, made sure it was okay that it was kosher. And I knew I was a sinner was not a problem. I was an Orthodox Jew. I, you know, I was face-to-face with my sins every day. And I prayed to receive Jesus as my Lord and savior by myself in my kitchen. And it was like a brick house lifted from me. I was a tangible darkness and I knew that I was white as snow, that I was completely forgiven finally. And I was so excited. I was on that phone. What some, you know, I was trying to call all the people I thought were Christians that I knew. And they, most of them thought I was nuts. 11 (36m 10s): Finally, I met one guy and he told me you've been born again. So that was the Lord just did a very quick work in me. I did a 180 didn't need to party anymore. I didn't need to chase girls anymore. I didn't need to take drugs anymore. Everything went out the window. Everything was Jesus. After that. And the Lord sent me to Hawaii, sold everything and got discipled out there for two years. You know, that's where God sends Jews to get discipled. The Lord gave me a passion for souls right away. And I just couldn't stop talking about Jesus. And soon after that, I went to Israel, became a citizen. 11 (36m 51s): Did Alia did evangelism, frontline evangelism out there for two years and came back here, did frontline evangelism in San Francisco. And for three years then got married and went to a Southern California where I've been since 2000. So it's been quite an adventure. If you like testimonies. My wife and I did write a small pamphlet called match by Messiah. And that's a, you get two for one, two Jews for the price of one. And my wife's extra Jewish. Cause she's from Brooklyn. Anyways, we did pass over every year in my house in San Francisco. 11 (37m 32s): My grandmother made the best lamb. I just loved it, but it was a tradition. We just did it because we were supposed to do it. But now that I've been born again, it's alive. It has, the meeting is so much richer. Like all the biblical holidays that the Lord gave my people, they are about reminding us who God is and what he's done, because the Lord knows how apt we are to forget and get complacent. That's why I actually love sharing my testimony. I'll share it every day. If I have to, because it reminds me of the mud ache I came out of. And I don't want to take that lightly. So Passover is a seven day holiday. It happens this time of year. 11 (38m 12s): I think it starts on the 15th this year and it revolves around 11. We're not allowed to eat any 11. We're only allowed to eat unleavened bread Motsa and we get very creative with this. You see 11 in a Bible, symbolic of sin because just as it's used to puff up cakes and cookies and breads sin puffs us up with pride, which separates us from God. And The first night of Passover is a Seder. When the whole family comes over and ushers in the Passover the week, and you cannot have a Passover. If you have any 11 in your house, you have to do a major house cleaning. It's a time of the year. When you clean all the places in your house that you don't normally clean the rest of the year under the fridge, under the couches and the, in the, you know, the pillow under the pillows and under the cabinets, wherever a crumb could be hiding, you got to get it, or you cannot have a Passover. 11 (39m 8s): In fact, you cannot have any bread cakes or cookies in your house during Passover. So we're supposed to take it and burn it. And if you go to Jerusalem before the Passover, it's not unusual to smell burnt toast in a year because people are taking their bread to the park and they're having a bread bonfire. But here in America, they don't do that so much. What they usually do is they bag up their cakes and cookies and they give them to their Gentile neighbors to hold. So after the Passover, I'm pretty sure that my grandma, she bagged it all up and stuck it in the freezer downstairs, but we're supposed to burn it once the 11 is out of the house, the whole family comes over and the head of the house is going to wear a special prayer shawl. 11 (39m 52s): If any of you been to a synagogue or a bar mitzvah, it's the men will wear these prayer shawls. They have tassels on the corners. It's a commandment of my Jewish people to remember the covenant we made with God at Mount Sinai. It goes over like this, But instead of wearing the usual yamaka or skull cap, as a sign of respect to God, the night of Passover, the man of the house is going to wear something a little more elaborate symbolic of a crown because the night of Passover, the main of the house is the king of the house. And in a, And in a Jewish family, it's the only night of the year that he's figured out. 11 (40m 43s): At least it's not an Italian family where he's never king of the house. And as the king of the house, he's going to guide his family through the traditional Passover Seder Seder means order. Cause there's an order to this using four cups of grape juice and a Seder plate that has six different food items that are going to help us tell the story of Passover. And he's going to do that. Using this book called a Haggadah, which means the telling, because it's all about telling a story. So the evening we'll begin with the lighting of candles. This is the honor and duty of the oldest woman of the house. 11 (41m 24s): She would light the candles. Where's my wife. And she will say a prayer and make this motion to welcome the holy spirit, the raw codec to the evening. And it's appropriate that the woman of the house light the candles because the Bible is very clear that it would be through a woman that the Messiah would come. And the enemy knew this. Look at the matriarchs of the Jewish people, Rebecca, Sarah, Rachel, they were all barren. The enemy said, Hey, got you. 11 (42m 4s): No Messiah is coming from here. Well, the Lord opened all those wounds. In fact, my wife, when we got married, the doctors said we would never have children. She had a condition ovarian syndrome and they said, you're never going to have children. We have three. So who's in charge folks. So the candles are lit at this point, the head of the house is going to lift up the first cup, the cup of sanctification. This cup sets the night apart from all the other nights, he'll hold it like this and say a Hebrew prayer that goes like this. hello? Hey, new fan, ah, man, which translates into Bless it. 11 (42m 58s): Are you a Lord? Our God king of the universe, creator of the fruit of the vine, the cup of sanctification sets quite apart from all the other nights. After that, the head of the house is going to move over to the Seder plate. And he's going to start to tell the story of Passover. And it starts with Jacob, the patriarch of the Jewish people. He lived in the promised land in Atlanta Cain, and he had 12 sons and his, his favorite was little Joseph, one of the youngest. And he wasn't shy about letting everybody know. This was very annoying to the older brothers, especially later on, Jacob sent Joseph to go and spy on the older brothers who were taking care of the sheep and the goats out in the fields. 11 (43m 40s): So when the older brothers saw little Joseph coming to spy on them, they were very annoyed. They seized them and they sold them to some slave traders and some on the way to Egypt, a couple hundred miles away, and then lie to Jacob and said, poor Joseph was killed by a wild animal. Jacob was devastated and went into a deep, deep mourning at would not be consoled. This wasn't bad enough for poor Joseph serving his master faithfully in Egypt for several years, several years later, the master's wife falsely accused them and he was sent to prison for life, but God was with Joseph and he gave him the gift of interpreting dreams. 11 (44m 23s): And it wasn't long before the Pharaoh, the king of Egypt had two dreams that nobody could interpret. None of his psychics or sourcers could interpret these dreams. And they tormented him. And he soon learned of Joseph's gift of interpreting dreams. And he called him out of prison and he asked him, can you interpret these dreams that are tormenting me? And he said, no, but my God will. And sure enough, he did. They were prophetic. They foretold of seven years of plenty followed by seven years of worldwide famine. Pharaoh saw that God was with Joseph. He made him his right-hand man, put him in charge of all the grain of Egypt. And God gave Joseph wisdom to stash away. 11 (45m 4s): 20% of the grain that came in during the seven years of plenty, for sure enough, when he eighth year hit famine, hit the whole world. And it wasn't long before peoples from all around, were coming to Egypt to buy grain. Well guess who showed up? After a couple of years, Jacob's brothers, Jacob sent them to Egypt to buy grain. They were starving and there they were in front of their brother to buy grain. Well, guess what? They didn't recognize it. He was dressed like an Egyptian. He spoke at , but he recognized that. So he decided to make him sweat a little bit. 11 (45m 44s): But after a while, when he saw that they were repentant for what they did, he couldn't hold back and he had to reveal himself. And he said, I am Joseph, what was the reaction? They were horrified. This is the brother they betrayed and sold into slavery. Now he was the right-hand man of Egypt. He could squish him in a second, but there was a forgiveness that was poured out. And the brothers were reconciled, kind of reminds me of when I came to faith and discovered that Jesus wasn't just a rabbi or an ascended master, that he was God in the flesh. I was horrified. I'd been using his name as a swear word my whole life, but the Lord's forgiveness was poured out and I was reconciled to God. 11 (46m 29s): So the brothers are reconciled. They have Pharaoh, Pharaoh has favor on the Hebrew people and he invites them to come and dwell in Egypt. God shows Jacob that it's okay, go to Egypt because one day I'll bring you back to the promised land. So Jacob goes, he's overjoyed to know that Joseph lives and that he has a couple of grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh. And so Jacob and his whole clan come to Egypt and there they dwell and prosper and multiply so much. So that later on, when the new Pharaoh takes over, who doesn't know Joseph, he decides to deal shrewdly with the Hebrews and make them slaves, not just for 10, 20 years folks, we're talking several hundred years of hard bitter bondage. 11 (47m 19s): And we remember this as we lift up the first item of the Seder plate, fresh parsley, symbolic of life, and it's dipped in salt water, symbolic of tears to make tears, to remind us that a life of slavery is a life filled with tears. After this, we move over to the second item, a horseradish root. This is a very bitter root, and it's a visual reminder of the bitterness of life. As a slave. The third item, my favorite fresh ground horseradish. 11 (47m 59s): We're supposed to eat a whole teaspoon of this stuff. You know what happens when you do that? Usually you turn red and start crying. Well, we cannot proceed with this Passover Seder presentation and we have three volunteers that are gutsy enough to try the horseradish. Who's ready for that. Come out, come on up. Young lady. Anyone else? We need two more. Come on. Or we're stuck here. Two more. Come on, go on. There's gotta be a brave soul in here. They'll come on up. Let's give him a hand. Okay. One more, one more. Come on up. Come on up. Okay. Fantastic. Now, since my Lord is merciful, I thought I'd be merciful and give it to them with some Motsa. 11 (48m 44s): Is that okay with you guys? No. Give it to him straight. Yes. Okay. Okay. All of you stand right in front here. We're going to set you up. Okay. There you go. Don't take it yet. Yeah. Okay. There you go. Right next to her. Good. Okay. All right. There you go. All right. All right there. Okay. Now this is supposed to be the taste of slavery. Does anyone know the prayer for last rights? 11 (49m 26s): Okay. On 3 1, 2, 3. . Thank you, my man. Good job. Thank you. Let me shake your hand. Thank you. Thank you. I knew there were some brave souls at this church. We can now proceed with the Passover Seder. After that the head of the house is going to lift up the fourth item. It's called . It's a sweet mixture of apples, honey cinnamon almonds. 11 (50m 8s): And it's supposed to remind us of the mortar or the cement that we were forced to make us slaves for many years in Egypt. But why use a sweet mixture for that? Well, we had the promise of God that he would bring us back to the promised land and that kept us going 17 (50m 25s): Rosa, 11 (50m 27s): Good. After that, the head of the house will lift up the fifth item, the huggy guy, or hard boiled egg. Now we have to understand about half of what I'm going to show you this morning. We believe that Jesus did that with the disciples in the last supper. There's everything else is traditions that came later like this, this came later because this is a symbol of mourning for the Jewish people. It reminds us of the temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed and burned to the ground by the Romans. Yeah. And it's placed over the fire to remind us that the temple was burned to the ground by the Romans in 70 Ady. 11 (51m 10s): And the Jewish people were dispersed all over the world. But for Jews, for believers like us, this is a symbol that reminds us that Jesus was a hundred percent accurate when it came to prophecy. You see, he foretold that this magnificent temple that took 40 years to build would come down and not one stone left on another and they mocked him. But folks that's exactly what happened. The huggy guy after this, the head of the house is going to move over to the second cup, the cup of plagues. And here we remember how God chose Moses to go to Pharaoh, to say, let my people go. But Pharaoh said, no, not just once, but 10 times. 11 (51m 50s): And every time he did, God had to pour out a plague on Egypt. We remember these plagues as the head of the house would dip his finger in the grape juice and let 10 drops fall on to his plate. As the 10 plagues are remembered anyone, remember what some of those plagues were Riverdale, blood frogs, flies, lights, lice, locusts boils, darkness, Hale, modifier to more Death of the firstborn. And finally the pestilence, the animals died, the Egypt in the Egypt, but the animals in the Jews didn't die. It's funny. 11 (52m 30s): It's really amazing. Whenever I ask people always say the frogs first and the pestilence lasts. It's amazing. What's interesting about this second cup is it reminds us that this was a showdown folks between the God of Israel and the false gods of Egypt. You see the Egyptians used to worship the Nile river. God made it useless, turned it blood. They used to worship the sun. God turned it off for three days. They used to worship the beasts of the field. They all died except for the ones in the of the Hebrew people. In fact, did you know that the Pharaoh was everyone, all the firstborn of Egypt were consecrated to worship Pharaoh as God. 11 (53m 14s): And when the last plague death of the firstborn, God did away with Pharaoh worship in one day, if he can't protect his only firstborn son, he's not God you see the goal of the Passover was to show not only the Egyptians, but the Hebrews that the God of Israel is the one true God cup of plagues. After that, the head of the house is going to move over to the last item of the Seder plate. There's ROA or Lambo. And here we remember how God made a provision to spare his people. Death of the firstborn was coming to Egypt and the Lord told the Jewish people to take a perfect lamb or go. 11 (53m 58s): You had to live with, live with it for four days. And after that, the poor thing had to be killed. And it's innocent blood placed on the doorpost for when death visited Egypt and saw the blood. It passed over those houses. And everyone that was in those houses was spared. That's where we get the name Passover. And this also reminds us of the three food items, items we're supposed to eat. A Passover bread, unleavened bread, lamb, and bitter herbs. There's ROA good. Well, that's the six items at the Seder plate. After that, the head of the house is going to move over to this pouch where there's three pieces of unleavened bread, but only the middle one is pulled out. We believe it's it's that it's because the three symbolizes the father, the son, the holy spirit, but the rabbis will say, it's symbolic of the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 11 (54m 47s): But we believe it's the son because the son of God is the aspect of God that dwelled among us. It's taken out of the pouch, broken in half placed in a white pouch and hidden away because later on all the children are sent out to find it. They tear the house apart cause they know the one that finds it gets a big prize. When it's found everyone rejoices into pulled out of the pouch for everyone to see broken up and shared with everybody. And that's when the third cup is raised. The cup of redemption. Does this look familiar? This is where we get communion. Jesus ushered the communion in during the last supper with the third cup, because it's the cup of redemption and he is the Redeemer you see, before I came to faith, when sin came knocking on my door, I was like, come on in let's party. 11 (55m 38s): I couldn't say no, but now I got a big sign on my front door, says no soliciting. I can say no to sin. I'm no longer a slave. So Jews that don't know Jesus they'll think of Moses and how God used him to set us free from physical slavery. But Jesus took it and magnified and said, now you're going to remember with the new covenant, how God set you free from spiritual slavery cup of redemption. Amen. Now the matzah is unleaven just as Jesus was without sin, it's broken just like Jesus was broken. It's hidden in a white cloth. As he was wrapped in white linen. 11 (56m 19s): It's hidden away. God says you must be as a child to know me. The children are sent out to find it. When it's found everyone rejoices. When we're found the angels rejoice, it's pulled out of the pouch for everyone to see just as Jesus was risen from the dead. After three days witnessed by over 500 Jews, broken into pieces and shared with everyone just as Jesus is the bread of life. It looks like the gospel message to me folks. But my Jewish people don't see this. If you ask the rabbi, Hey, what's the deal with hiding the Matsa and the kids finding it, getting a prize. They usually say it's just a game to keep the kids occupied. We think it's a tradition that came from the first church in Jerusalem and got somehow mixed up with mainstream. 11 (57m 2s): Good will. After the third cup, the head of the house is going to lift up the fourth cup, the cup of praise, the cup of Hallel and here we praise God for his faithfulness to bring the people out of slavery and back to the promised land. The cup of Hallel good. Well, that's the four cups, sanctification, plagues, redemption, and praise. We run the home stretch folks. There's this fancy looking cup we haven't talked about yet. The cup of Elijah and at every Seder table, there's an empty place setting with this cup because the Jewish people know that before the coming of the Messiah, God would send a Lija to tell them who the Messiah is. So at the end of the Passover, the youngest child present center, the front door, everyone will look as he opens it. 11 (57m 46s): And they're hoping and praying that Elijah will come walking in to tell them who the Messiah is. So if you're driving around town the night of Passover and you see some doors go flying open, go on in, Have a seat. Tell them who the Messiah is. We know who Elijah is, right? John, the Baptist Jesus said he is Alijah. Who has come to prepare the way of the Lord. Amen. All right. Well, I'm going to give all of you a hand for surviving a Passover Seder And quickly, I'm going to give you a window into my world before we close. 11 (58m 29s): We got those slides. All right, we're going to just zip through this folks. Okay. This is me before I got saved, like I said, I was in bondage. Go ahead. The devil thought he had me, but thankfully I was set free by the power of the blood of Jesus. Go ahead. The Lord sent me to Venice. It's the enemy's camp. It's the second most visited place in California, behind Disneyland. Thousands of people go there every day. A lot of people don't know that. Go ahead. This is what go ahead. This is what Venice looks like. It's a walkway, a mile and a half long thousands of people just strolling back and forth. Go ahead. Here's another picture of the walkway. 11 (59m 10s): Go ahead. Another picture. Go ahead. The end of the road for a lot of people, folks, you know, people come to LA, they try to make it big and they get beat up and ended up homeless drug addicts, alcoholics, whatever. And they end up sleeping on the beach at Venice. Go ahead. And the enemies there every day, you got the tarot card readers. Go ahead. You got the marijuana. Go ahead. You got the Hindus. Go ahead. And you got the psychics. You know, I lived at Venice for three months when I was going to UC Santa Barbara. When I graduated, I was an artist. I did painting. I had a big show. There lived on a roof for three months and I was searching. 11 (59m 50s): I'd walk up and down that walkway never ran into a ministry or a Christian, but the psychics were there. Come on in. And I ended up getting deceived. You got the Krishnas. Are there, go ahead. You got the devil shows up now and then you got to rebuke him in the name of Jesus. Go ahead. You got the warlocks. Go ahead. You got the witches. This is not Halloween folks. You got the Colts. This guy's part of a black Hebrew, Colt Israelites. And they're very violent. There's a whole, I got whole stories about that. Believe me. Now I'm not going to be able to get into too, too, too much detail this morning. But if you want to be in the trenches, if you have a heart for, in California souls in California, you want to sign up with this clipboard at the back table and you'll be put in the trenches where all the action is at Venice beach. 11 (1h 0m 44s): My praise reports are short and sweet. There are no fluff. You're going to get the good, the bad and the ugly. Go ahead. Where are we at? Okay. Yeah, you cannot be like little Bo peep at Venice beach. You'll get beat up and you'll never come back. Go ahead. You gotta be like this guy. You gotta be ready for battle with your sword of the spirit, your shield of faith and your helmet of salvation.

We're at Venice beach with our Jesus loves you shirts and our show FARs. And when the enemy shows up, that's what we blow the show far. 11 (1h 1m 28s): Hallelujah.

And that's who we trust to fight our battles. Go ahead. We set up a canopy with a table with free English, Spanish and Hebrew, new testaments. And people just come to our table all day long. We don't have to go hog tie anybody. They are just coming all day long. We have a trained volunteer ministry team that comes out with me every time, Jews and Gentiles serving God together. We waive the Israeli flag so that Israelis know that it's a safe place and Israelis love going to Venice. 11 (1h 2m 13s): And they come by our table all the time.

We've calculated that 2,700 people a year will stop by our table. 1600 of them will take new testaments and over 70 will come to faith. I don't know where else you can get that kind of exposure. Go ahead. There's a Muslim that came by. Got the gospel. Go ahead. Here's a trans trans us transvestite. He came by his name's Eve. Jenny.

They heard that they asked us to pray for them and we blew the show far for them and they left with Hebrew new testaments. Go ahead. Orthodox Jew came by big animated discussion with him. Go ahead.

All right, well, we're going to wrap this up. If you have any questions, come see me at the table in the back. Don't forget to sign up for our praise reports. If you want to be in the trenches. And if you want to give, if God's moving you to help support this ministry and be a part of it, I did. 11 (1h 5m 38s): And, but you didn't come prepared. I can take credit cards at the back table. So God bless you. I'm going to say a prayer. As we close, I personalize the, our father prayer. And I want to share it with you because it means so much to me for me now, I don't know you to get to the part where it says lead me not into temptation. It always sounded like God was trying to tempt me, but God doesn't tempt us, right? The real meaning is this Lord don't let me give into temptation. So let's say the, our father together, our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you for giving me my daily bread. 11 (1h 6m 21s): Forgive my sins.
