Send me a Text Message!As I was working on this episode, I couldn't get a song out of my head. It's a simple song that I learned in church as a kid. "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..." In John 1 we find that Jesus is not only the Word of God, He is the light of the world. And when His light shine the darkness cannot win. But if you can get past the grand metaphors and visions of light battling darkness, at the heart of John 1 is a messy love story. In the midst of our darkness and our mess, he relentlessly pursues you. Even as you walk the Jesus way, His heart is relentlessly pursuing you.

The Gospel in The Notebook In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings turn to an unexpected favorite—The Notebook—to explore the deeper longings of the human heart. What might seem like a simple romantic drama becomes a window into themes of pursuit, sacrifice, faithfulness, and sacred romance woven into the larger story God is telling. Through the characters of Noah and Allie, Michael and SJ unpack what it means to fight for love over time, through opposition, loss, and suffering. They reflect on the beauty of being chosen, known, and pursued—and how true romance always carries a cost. The conversation moves beyond sentimentality into the reality that real love is forged through perseverance, courage, and self-giving devotion. Alongside their film analysis, Michael shares a personal story of encountering God's presence in an unexpected moment—drawing a parallel between divine pursuit and human romance. Together, they invite listeners to consider how stories like The Notebook awaken something holy in us: a longing to be fully loved and to give ourselves away for something greater.

We've reached the SHINY part of our rainbow series: silver! In Indian movies, it can be futuristic (like the tech of Enthiran), disco (like Shaan), or earthy (like Urmila's jewelry in Chamma Chamma Baaje Re), and it can evoke elegance and romance like no other.

Ready for a great love story? Former national and world-record-holding Masters swimmer Joe Wotton joins us on deck to share the stories, nicknames, and love that shaped a champion's life in and out of the pool. Joe Wotton, 66 years young, swims for Swim Melbourne Masters—the Mahis—and brings with him a lifetime in aquatics. His journey began in Massachusetts, continued in backyard pools after his family moved to Florida, and grew through high school swimming and water polo. One of the highlights of his early career includes racing at the Florida state championships alongside Olympic legend Rowdy Gaines, an experience he recounts with humility, humor, and deep appreciation for the moment.Service, Swimmer Motivation, and Staying in the WaterJoe went on to swim and play water polo at the Air Force Academy, where he captained the water polo team, earned MVP honors, won a national title, and found success in sprint freestyle events. His career later came full circle when he returned to the Academy as a coach, using swimming as both motivation and connection with the athletes he led. Along the way, Masters Swimming became a constant thread—one that provided community, competition, and lifelong friendships wherever life and service took him.Nicknames, Teasing, and the Gift of BelongingOne of the most entertaining threads in this conversation is Joe's collection of nicknames, each tied to a distinct chapter of his life. As a young cadet, he was called “Stiletto” for his lean build. In water polo, his squinting without vision correction earned him the name “Squint.” Later, in a moment of good-natured teasing during weight training, an ironic Yoda impression led to the nickname “Power,” a call sign that followed him so persistently that some teammates assumed it was his actual last name. Even today, he still hears it called out in airports by fellow Air Force pilots. These nicknames aren't just funny—they represent belonging, shared history, and the deep bonds formed through sport and service.His Greatest Comeback of All Is LoveThe most powerful comeback Joe shares, however, has nothing to do with swimming. He tells a beautiful love story about reconnecting with Debbie, the woman he dated in college but didn't yet understand how to fully love. Years later, after both had gone through divorce, they found their way back to each other. More than 35 years into a happy marriage, Joe describes Debbie as his greatest accomplishment in life—a story that resonates deeply and reminds us that growth, timing, and second chances matter.Why Masters Feels Like HomeJoe also speaks with gratitude about Masters Swimming itself, describing every meet as a kind of homecoming. He reflects on the joy of seeing familiar faces, encouraging one another, and sharing a love of the sport that transcends age and performance. Whether he's training for the 50 freestyle, lifting weights, walking golf courses, or spending a month each year in the Florida Keys lobster diving with family, Joe radiates appreciation for a life well lived and shared.Email us at HELLO@ChampionsMojo.com.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Chance Encounters: A Love Story Beneath Budapest's Basilica Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-01-20-08-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Budapest téli esővel köszöntötte az új napot.En: Budapest greeted the new day with winter rain.Hu: A szél hidegen fújt végig az utcákon, hópelyhek keveredtek az esőcseppekkel, ahogy az emberek menedéket kerestek.En: The wind blew coldly through the streets, mixing snowflakes with raindrops as people sought shelter.Hu: A történelmi Szent István-bazilika impozáns állomása volt a város központjában, ahol néhányan meghúzódtak a hirtelen jött vihar elől.En: The historic Szent István-bazilika was a magnificent landmark in the city's center, where some found refuge from the sudden storm.Hu: Bence, egy csendes egyetemista, a történelem szerelmese, éppen a bazilika előtt sétált.En: Bence, a quiet university student and lover of history, was walking right in front of the basilica.Hu: Kezében egy könyv, mely az építészet világát tárta fel.En: In his hand was a book that unveiled the world of architecture.Hu: A hideg némaságát megzavarta a zuhogó eső, ami beűzte őt a templom impozáns ajtói alá.En: The cold silence was disrupted by the pouring rain, driving him under the church's imposing doors.Hu: Míg a párkány alatt menedékre lelt, maga elé meredt, lassan szemügyre vette az épület bonyolult díszítéseit.En: While he found shelter under the eaves, he gazed ahead, slowly examining the building's intricate decorations.Hu: Kívülről - régi idők titkokkal teli homlokzata - lenyűgözte őt.En: From the outside - its facade filled with secrets of old times - it captivated him.Hu: Ekkor érkezett Réka, egy talpraesett, vidám fotós, kamerájával a nyakában.En: Then arrived Réka, a resourceful, cheerful photographer with her camera hanging around her neck.Hu: Ruhájáról szivárgott a víz, mégis mosoly ült az arcán.En: Her clothes were soaked, yet a smile graced her face.Hu: Bár éppen most lépett ki egy kapcsolatból, mindig nyitott maradt az új élményekre, különösen, ha azok fényképezéssel kapcsolatosak.En: Although she had just come out of a relationship, she remained open to new experiences, especially those related to photography.Hu: Amikor meglátta Bencét a lépcsőn, habozott.En: When she saw Bence on the stairs, she hesitated.Hu: A múlt fájdalmai még mindig kísértették, de a kíváncsiság vezette őt.En: Past pains still haunted her, but curiosity led her on.Hu: A két fiatal véletlenül találkozott a templom csendes árnyékában.En: The two young people met by chance in the silent shadow of the church.Hu: Bence összeszedte a bátorságát, és óvatosan megszólította Rékát.En: Bence mustered the courage and carefully spoke to Réka.Hu: „Szép a bazilika, nem igaz?” - kérdezte lágy, mégis remegő hangon.En: “The basilica is beautiful, isn't it?” he asked in a soft but trembling voice.Hu: Réka meglepődött, majd szívesen válaszolt.En: Réka was surprised, then readily replied.Hu: „Igen, hihetetlen, mennyi részlet van akár csak egy domborműben is.”En: “Yes, it's incredible how much detail there is even in just one relief.”Hu: Beszélgetésük lassan, de biztosan mélyült.En: Their conversation slowly but surely deepened.Hu: Bence mesélt az épület történetének lenyűgöző elemeiről, miközben Réka nem csak kamerájával, de szívével is kezdte megörökíteni a pillanat különlegességét.En: Bence spoke of the building's fascinating historical elements, while Réka began to capture the moment's uniqueness not just with her camera, but also with her heart.Hu: Kiderült, hogy kettejük szenvedélye fonódik össze - az építészeti csodák felfedezése és azok művészi ábrázolása.En: It became apparent that their passions intertwined – the discovery of architectural wonders and their artistic portrayal.Hu: Ahogy az eső elállt, a nap előbújt a felhők mögül.En: As the rain subsided, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds.Hu: A bazilika fénye újra ragyogni kezdett, és úgy tűnt, a két fiatal is felragyogott.En: The basilica's light began to shine again, and it seemed the two young people did as well.Hu: Döntöttek: együtt folytatják.En: They made a decision: to continue together.Hu: Új városi kalandokat terveztek, séta közben új ötleteket vitatva meg, hogy miként tudnák ötvözni Bence tudását és Réka kreativitását.En: They planned new urban adventures, discussing new ideas as they walked, on how they could combine Bence's knowledge with Réka's creativity.Hu: Zsófia, Réka közeli barátja, tanácsokkal látta el, hogy ne féljen nyitni új emberek felé.En: Zsófia, Réka's close friend, advised her not to be afraid to open up to new people.Hu: „Adj esélyt magadnak, és meglátod, mi történik” - mondta mindig.En: “Give yourself a chance, and see what happens,” she always said.Hu: A bazilika lépcsőit elhagyva, Bence és Réka egymásra pillantottak, tudva, hogy egy új fejezet veszi kezdetét.En: Leaving the basilica stairs, Bence and Réka glanced at each other, knowing that a new chapter was beginning.Hu: A hideg tél közepén melegséget leltek egy váratlan beszélgetésben, s az előttük álló közös úton.En: In the middle of the cold winter, they found warmth in an unexpected conversation and on the shared path ahead.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a focused analytical breakdown of Lil Uzi Vert's latest single “What You Saying,” released December 22, 2025 (with video dropping December 23), via Cor(e) / Roc Nation Distribution.Produced by MC VERTT, the track fuses Jersey Club rhythms with a sample from Indila's “Love Story,” exploring romantic frustration through a language barrier theme. It marks Uzi's fourth single in a rapid December rollout following “Chanel Boy,” “Relevant,” and “Regular,” kicking off their independent era after signing with Roc Nation Distribution—joining only JAY-Z and Rihanna in holding management, distribution, and publishing ties while retaining full masters ownership and creative control.The Charlotte Wales-directed music video (creative direction by Lil Uzi Vert and Ava Nirui) reimagines Uzi as a renowned fashion designer in an alternate universe, featuring atelier scenes, backstage chaos, a high-energy runway show with Marc Jacobs Spring 2025 looks, archival pieces from Jean Paul Gaultier, Helmut Lang, Raf Simons, Thom Browne, and Maison Margiela (Spring 2001 glove top worn by Adriana Lima), plus cameos from supermodel Adriana Lima, designer Marc Jacobs, Law Roach, Andre Walker, Lourdes Leon, and Lynn Yaeger. The visual pays homage to 1990s couture, Fashion TV nostalgia, and Prince's boundary-pushing influence, complete with satirical protester signs (“UZI Fashion Scum”) and a triumphant bow finale.Analytic Dreamz examines how this multidisciplinary release—paired with limited-edition merch via Welcome to Cor(e)—signals Uzi's crossover ambitions into luxury fashion, building on their 31+ billion career streams, multiple Grammy nods, three Billboard 200 No. 1s, and Complex recognition as a top 21st-century best-dressed celebrity. As speculation builds for a 2026 album, this fashion-forward statement reinforces Uzi's innovative legacy at the intersection of music, high fashion, and artistic autonomy.Join Analytic Dreamz for this data-driven deep dive into one of late-2025's most visually ambitious and strategically pivotal releases.

Can you truly love someone who prays differently than you? What if their faith journey looks nothing like yours? In this deeply personal episode of Married Into Crazy, hosts Snooks and Lovey interview a couple that get vulnerable about their interfaith marriage as a Muslim-Christian couple navigating love across religious lines. But this isn't your typical interfaith dialogue—this is about the real, messy, beautiful truth of falling in love with someone's heart before their religion. Richard and Patrice share their powerful story of how they discovered something revolutionary: authentic faith isn't measured by how well someone can quote the Quran or recite Bible verses—it's revealed through daily actions, choices, and how they treat others. In this episode, you'll discover:  ✨ The moment they realized love transcends religious labels – How taking time to truly know each other revealed a shared devotion to God that went beyond denomination  ✨ Why actions matter more than religious performance – The couple discusses how they learned to recognize genuine faith through kindness, integrity, and compassion rather than theological debates  ✨ Navigating family expectations and cultural pressures – Real talk about dealing with families on both sides who questioned their interfaith union  ✨ Finding common ground between Islam and Christianity – The surprising spiritual connections they discovered when they stopped focusing on differences  ✨ Practical wisdom for interfaith couples – Honest advice for anyone considering or currently in an interfaith relationship  ✨ Redefining what it means to be "equally yoked" – Challenging traditional interpretations and finding spiritual partnership beyond religious labels  This conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about interfaith relationships, religious compatibility, and what it truly means to love God. Whether you're in an interfaith relationship, considering one, or simply curious about how love and faith intersect across religious boundaries, this episode offers profound insights delivered with Snooks and Lovey's signature humor and authenticity.  Perfect for: Interfaith couples, anyone questioning religious compatibility in relationships, people interested in Muslim-Christian dialogue, those seeking authentic faith expressions, and anyone who's ever wondered if love can truly conquer religious differences.  Get Your Tickets to the 2026 Winter Ball & Marriage Conference : https://marriedintocrazy.ticketlocity.com

L'histoire d'Eros et Psyché apparaît dans un seul texte : "Les métamorphoses" d'Apulée, que l'on place entre l'an 160 et 180. Dans ce roman, le mythe de Psyché et sa quête pour le cœur d'Eros est une histoire dans l'histoire. C'est une vieille femme qui la raconte à une jeune fille. Pour cette raison, on pense que l'auteur s'est lui-même inspiré d'un conte oral. C'est donc oralement qu'Alice Deroide vous partage ce récit dans cet épisode, avec en bande son, le poème symphonique "Eros et Psyché" de César Franck.

Isla Guadalupe off the Western coast of Mexico is famous for its massive colonies of petrels, shearwaters, and Laysan Albatrosses. Now, conservationists hope it can become a safe haven for Black-footed Albatrosses too – like Bruno and La Güera. In 2021, the pair were among a dozen Black-footed Albatross chicks flown from Hawai‘i's Midway Atoll to Mexico by researchers with the non-profit Grupo de Ecología y Conservación de Islas. It's part of a larger effort to establish a new Black-footed Albatross colony in Mexico as rising seas threaten their native breeding grounds. The budding romance between Bruno and La Güera has the team hopeful that they'll be just the first of many Black-footed Albatross couples helping their species settle into a new home in Mexico.¡Este episodio está disponible en BirdNote en Español!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

In honor of Jess and Garage Boy's 6 years of dating, we reminisce on their meeting and hear some other FASCINATING real life couple stories...

Long before he founded the dating app Hinge, Justin McLeod was a little boy in Louisville, Kentucky, belting out Meat Loaf's “I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)” from the backseat of his mom's car. Looking back, that song feels almost prophetic, after Justin met – and briefly lost – the love of his life, only to win her back with a big, movie-worthy gesture. In this episode, Justin charts the story of building one of the most influential dating apps in the world – a journey intertwined with his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction and his own epic love story. He reflects on the moment he thought Hinge was finished, why he believes we create rather than find “the one,” and the soundtrack to his tumultuous life story. Here are his songs. Meat Loaf, “I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)” Pink Floyd, “Time” The Juliana Theory, “We're At The Top Of The World” Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, “Apologies” Jessie J, “Price Tag, ft. B.o.B” You+Me, “You and Me” Van Morrison, “Days Like This”

His film credits include “Milton's Secret” (director, writer), Academy Award winner “What Dreams May Come” (producer), Emmy Award nominee for Outstanding TV Movie “Homeless to Harvard” (executive producer), “The Celestine Prophecy” (writer, producer), and “Jesus,” translated into more than 2,245 languages and often cited as the most widely seen film in history by The New York Times.

Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this engaging conversation, Blaine and Barnet Bain explore the profound themes of friendship, connection, and personal growth. Barnet shares the inspiration behind his book How to Be a Friend (in an Unfriendly World) and delves into the complexities of unconditional love, the nature of true friendship, and the purpose of these relationships in our lives. The discussion emphasizes the importance of nurturing deep connections and the transformative power of friendship as a means of awakening and personal development. Takeaways Friendship requires active nurturing and commitment. Unconditional love can be challenged by personal judgments. True friendship is non-transactional and prioritizes connection. Friendship serves as a lab for personal awakening. Compassion and understanding grow from shared experiences. The essence of friendship is rooted in love and connection. Friendship can transcend differences in beliefs and opinions. Awakening often occurs through relationships with others. The purpose of friendship is to help us discover who we are.

Ben and Rob abduct ‘Buffalo 66', Vincent Gallo's 1998 cult drama that sits uncomfortably between love story, character study and anti movie. Starring Vincent Gallo, Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara, Mickey Rourke and Anjelica Huston, Buffalo 66 follows a deeply broken man staging a fake relationship to impress his parents, while quietly becoming one of the strangest and most divisive romantic films of its era.What makes Buffalo 66 so unconventional when compared to traditional romantic dramas; why is this film so intensely polarising for audiences; and how much of its discomfort is deliberate rather than accidental? How does the insane real life persona of Vincent Gallo bleed into the film itself; where does performance end and self mythologising begin; and what does Buffalo 66 really mean when stripped of its controversy and reputation?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!

In 2019 a well known romance writer began tweeting about other writers in her community and concerns about racism. It led to a huge reckoning within an organization called the Romance Writers of America. And although the online debate seemed to be isolated to a specific community of romance writers and their fans, it was really a microcosm of what's been happening all over the US. In this episode we learn all about romance novels and how newer writers are changing the norms of the genre, and giving it a political power it's never had before. And, we talk about what it means for organizations to change as they grapple with questions of race. This episode, originally released in June 2022, is part of the Making Contact Anniversary Capsule: celebrating 30 years of social justice journalism. The miniseries takes us from protests on the streets of Seattle to an Indiana family fighting for their daughter's gender affirming care. It explores a racial reckoning in the world of romance writers, and tells the story of border walls from Gaza to Arizona. These shows embody how Making Contact has been digging into the story beneath the story since 1994.

Cathy and Todd discuss Love Actually as part of their “Christmas movies that might not actually be Christmas movies” month. Released in November 2003 and written and directed by Richard Curtis, the film uses its London-at-Christmas setting, stacked ensemble cast, and interwoven stories of romantic, familial, awkward, and heartbreaking love to reflect a long-held worldview: messy humans and basic decency still matter. Cathy and Todd go through their categories, debate the storylines, and unpack why its message that “love is all around” became an annual ritual for so many—and what lands differently when we watch it now..
