This episode features a short clip from Dr. Robert Heidler about the Hebrew month of Tammuz and the theme of gates — doorways into new beginnings, life (the letter Chet), and access to Gods presence amid tribulation. The host connects the message to how difficulties can push us through gates into the kingdom, bringing healing, provision, revelation, and warning against opening doors to idols. The episode closes with prayer and encouragement to intentionally "go through the gates" this month.

यह एहसास कि दोस्तों के साथ बिताया वक्त न केवल पुरानी यादों का जीवंत करना था, बल्कि उनके साथ जीवन की नई राह भी तय करने का सहारा बन सकता था।En: In the end, Aarav gained a new experience—the realization that the time spent with friends was not just about reliving old memories but also a support to carve out a new path in life.Hi: उन्होंने इस खूबसूरत सहारे को नई ऊर्जा के रूप में लिया और एक-दूसरे को वचन दिया कि आगे बढ़ते रहेंगे, एक-दूसरे का हाथ थामे।En: They embraced this beautiful support as a new form of energy and promised each other to keep moving forward, holding each other's hands.Hi: लोधी गार्डन के इस प्यारे दिन के अंत में, आरव, प्रिया, और नील ने एक-दूसरे के साथ एक नया अध्याय लिखने की शुरुआत की, जो उन्हें जीवन के उतार-चढ़ाव के बीच मार्गदर्शन करता रहेगा।En: At the end of this lovely day in Lodhi Garden, Aarav, Priya, and Neel began writing a new chapter together, one that would guide them through life's ups and downs.

Story Transcript:Sr: Белградска докова била је пуна живота.En: The Belgrade docks were full of life.Sr: Светла су се одбијала од мирних таласа Саве.En: Lights reflected off the calm waves of the Sava.Sr: Модерна архитектура стварала је снажан контраст са историјом града.En: The modern architecture created a strong contrast with the city's history.Sr: Милош, Јована и Стефан шетали су уз обалу, спремни за журку завршетка школе.En: Miloš, Jovana, and Stefan walked along the shore, ready for the school-ending party.Sr: Летња топлота стајала је у ваздуху, док су весели звуци музике позивали на плес.En: The summer heat lingered in the air as the cheerful sounds of music invited them to dance.Sr: Милош је био тих и замишљен.En: Miloš was quiet and pensive.Sr: Срце му је куцало брже него обично.En: His heart was beating faster than usual.Sr: Дуго је скривао своје осећаје према Јовани, а вечерас је одлучио да јој све каже.En: He had long hidden his feelings for Jovana, and tonight he decided to tell her everything.Sr: Пријатељство им је било на коцки, али љубав је тражила искреност.En: Their friendship was at stake, but love demanded honesty.Sr: С друге стране, Стефан је, као и увек, забављао друштво.En: On the other hand, Stefan, as always, entertained the group.Sr: Његов заразан смех и шале испуњавале су ваздух.En: His infectious laughter and jokes filled the air.Sr: Али и он је крио нешто.En: But he too was hiding something.Sr: Осмех му је био маска.En: His smile was a mask.Sr: И он је, попут Милоша, био заљубљен у Јовану и имао је свој план за вече.En: Like Miloš, he was also in love with Jovana and had his own plan for the evening.Sr: Док су стигли на журку, музика је била гласна, а људи насмејани и безбрижни.En: When they arrived at the party, the music was loud, and people were smiling and carefree.Sr: Али, за Милоша и Стефана, ово је била ноћ одлука.En: But for Miloš and Stefan, this was a night of decisions.Sr: Време за игру и чекање истекло је.En: The time for playing and waiting had run out.Sr: Милош је дубоко удахнуо и погледао у Јовану, која се смејала са неколико пријатеља.En: Miloš took a deep breath and looked at Jovana, who was laughing with a few friends.Sr: Пар сати касније, док су ватромети обасјавали небо изнад Белграда, све је било припремљено за разговор.En: A couple of hours later, as fireworks lit up the sky above Belgrade, everything was set for the conversation.Sr: Милош је осетио тренутак.En: Miloš felt the moment.Sr: Без гомиле око себе, само Јована и он.En: Without the crowd around them, just Jovana and him.Sr: Време је било савршено.En: The timing was perfect.Sr: "Јована, морам ти рећи нешто важно", почео је Милош тихо, али одлучно.En: "Jovana, I need to tell you something important," Miloš began quietly but decisively.Sr: Она га је погледала, изненађена озбиљношћу у његовом гласу.En: She looked at him, surprised by the seriousness in his voice.Sr: "Већ дуго трпам ово у себи.En: "I've been holding this in for a long time.Sr: Заљубљен сам у тебе.En: I'm in love with you.Sr: Знам да можда није прави тренутак, али морао сам ти рећи", изустила је његова искреност.En: I know this might not be the right moment, but I had to tell you," his honesty poured out.Sr: Јовани је требало неколико тренутака да одговори, изненађена, али ипак дирнута.En: Jovana took a few moments to respond, surprised yet touched.Sr: "Милош, ценим твоју искреност и храброст.En: "Miloš, I appreciate your honesty and courage.Sr: Треба ми време да размислим", рекла је, гледајући у његове очи пуне наде.En: I need some time to think," she said, looking into his hopeful eyes.Sr: С те стране, Стефан је све чуо.En: On the other side, Stefan heard everything.Sr: Стојао је по страни, између беса и разумевања.En: He stood aside, torn between anger and understanding.Sr: Пријатељство са Милошем значило је много, али је и он желео своју шансу.En: His friendship with Miloš meant a lot, but he also wanted his chance.Sr: Али сада, све је било у Јованиним рукама.En: But now, everything was in Jovana's hands.Sr: Те вечери, док је славље трајало, Милош је осетио како његов страх нестаје.En: That evening, as the celebration continued, Miloš felt his fear fade away.Sr: Без обзира на Јованин коначни избор, научио је нешто важно.En: Regardless of Jovana's final choice, he learned something important.Sr: Храброст доноси мир, а истина ослобађа.En: Courage brings peace, and truth sets you free.Sr: Корачао је обалом, спреман да се суочи са исходом.En: He walked along the shore, ready to face the outcome.Sr: Сада, са новом снагом у срцу, суочио се са изазовима, знајући да је искреност увек најбољи пут.En: Now, with new strength in his heart, he faced the challenges, knowing that honesty is always the best path.Sr: Белградска докова више није била само место, већ симбол новог почетка за све њих.En: The Belgradska docks were no longer just a place but a symbol of a new beginning for all of them.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: How One Vote sparked Hope on Budapest's Sunny Streets Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-06-20-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A városháza előtt a sor hosszúnak tűnt, de a nyári nap kellemesen sütött Budapest felett.En: In front of the városháza the line seemed long, but the summer sun was pleasantly shining over Budapest.Hu: Az emberek csendesen beszélgettek, néha nevetés tört elő a sor különböző pontjairól.En: People were quietly chatting, and occasionally laughter burst from different points of the line.Hu: Ildikó, a fiatal grafikus, mellettük állt az árnyékban.En: Ildikó, the young graphic designer, stood in the shade beside them.Hu: Még mindig nem volt biztos abban, hogy szavazata bármin is változtatna.En: She was still unsure if her vote would change anything.Hu: Egész reggel azon gondolkodott, érdemes-e egyáltalán itt lennie.En: All morning she had been pondering whether it was worth being there at all.Hu: Mivel a sor lassan mozgott, Ildikó és Zoltán egymás mellé sodródtak.En: As the line moved slowly, Ildikó and Zoltán ended up next to each other.Hu: Zoltán középkorú történelemtanár volt, aki mindig hitt az egyéni cselekedetek erejében.En: Zoltán, a middle-aged history teacher, always believed in the power of individual actions.Hu: Ildikó észrevette, hogy Zoltán arcán derűs mosoly játszik.En: Ildikó noticed the cheerful smile playing on Zoltán's face.Hu: – Szia!En: "Hi!"Hu: – köszönt Ildikónak Zoltán barátságosan.En: Zoltán greeted Ildikó warmly.Hu: – Gyönyörű nap választani, nem igaz?En: "It's a beautiful day to vote, isn't it?"Hu: Ildikó meglepődött a hirtelen megszólításon, de végül elmosolyodott.En: Ildikó was surprised by the sudden address but eventually smiled.Hu: – Igen, az biztos.En: "Yes, that's for sure.Hu: Bár néha úgy érzem, hogy semmi sem változik.En: Although sometimes I feel like nothing changes."Hu: Zoltán bólintott, de a szemében érdeklődés csillant.En: Zoltán nodded, a spark of interest shining in his eyes.Hu: – Tudod, egyszer tanúja voltam annak, hogy egyetlen szavazat mennyit jelentett.En: "You know, I once witnessed how much a single vote meant.Hu: Egy kis közösség élete megváltozott, mindössze néhány ember elkötelezett részvételével.En: The life of a small community changed, with just a few people's committed participation.Hu: Azóta hiszek benne, hogy minden szavazat számít.En: Since then, I've believed that every vote counts."Hu: Ildikó figyelmesen hallgatta, szinte elveszett Zoltán szavaiban.En: Ildikó listened attentively, almost lost in Zoltán's words.Hu: – Tényleg?En: "Really?"Hu: – kérdezte óvatosan.En: she asked cautiously.Hu: – Mit tettek?En: "What did they do?"Hu: Zoltán mesélni kezdett egy történetet egy kis faluról, ahol a lakosok összefogva új iskolát építettek a gyerekeknek.En: Zoltán began to tell a story about a small village where the residents came together to build a new school for the children.Hu: Mindannyian egyetértettek abban, hogy a változást csak közösen tudják elérni.En: They all agreed that change could only be achieved together.Hu: Ildikó elgondolkodott, aztán sóhajtott.En: Ildikó pondered for a moment and then sighed.Hu: – Talán nem vagyok elég optimista, de szeretném hinni, hogy számít, amit teszünk – mondta.En: "Perhaps I'm not optimistic enough, but I'd like to believe that what we do matters," she said.Hu: – Köszönöm, hogy megosztottad velem ezt a történetet.En: "Thank you for sharing that story with me."Hu: Ahogy közeledtek a szavazóhelyiséghez, Ildikóban valami változni kezdett.En: As they approached the polling station, something began to change in Ildikó.Hu: Érezte, hogy új remény ébred benne.En: She felt a new hope rising within her.Hu: Meglehetősen szokatlan volt számára, de úgy döntött, hogy megosztja Zoltánnal a kávézás ötletét.En: It was quite unusual for her, but she decided to share a coffee idea with Zoltán.Hu: – Mit szólnál, ha a szavazás után innánk egy kávét?En: "What would you say to having a coffee after voting?"Hu: – kérdezte félénken.En: she asked shyly.Hu: – Érdekelne még többet hallani erről.En: "I would love to hear more about this."Hu: Zoltán széles mosollyal válaszolt.En: Zoltán responded with a broad smile.Hu: – Nagyon szívesen!En: "I would be delighted!Hu: Öröm lenne tovább beszélgetni veled.En: It would be a pleasure to continue talking with you."Hu: Nemsokára Ildikó elhagyta a szavazóhelyiséget, ezúttal mosollyal az arcán és szívében új céllal.En: Soon, Ildikó left the polling station, this time with a smile on her face and a new purpose in her heart.Hu: Nemcsak azt érezte, hogy a szavazata számít, de arra is kíváncsi volt, hogy milyen új kapcsolatot alakíthat ki Zoltánnal.En: She not only felt that her vote mattered, but she was also curious about what new relationship she might form with Zoltán.Hu: A nyári nap továbbra is melegen sütött, de valami más is melegen tartotta Ildikó szívét – a remény és a változás lehetősége.En: The summer sun continued to shine warmly, but something else also warmed Ildikó's heart—the possibility of hope and change.

Jesus Name Has Power Part 2 Acts Chapter 3

Audio taken from the live teaching "8 People Who Will Not Be In Heaven" - https://youtu.be/AcB5gi7p_gcToday as we examine the Scriptures together, we will turn to one of the most sobering, yet hope-filled passages in all of the Bible. We will see both the gravity of unrepentant sin and the overwhelming mercy of the cross. In today's text, we see a list of eight categories of people who will not be in heaven. This is certainly not an exhaustive list of every sin, nor is it a checklist stating that if you have committed any of these 8 sins you are eternally condemned and beyond God's mercy and forgiveness.Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: Revelation 21:5-8Other Scriptures referenced: Matthew 10:32-33; John 3:18; Hebrews 11:6; Genesis 6:5; 1 John 3:15; Deuteronomy 18:10-14; Acts 19:19; Exodus 20:3-5; John 8:44; John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21Unless noted otherwise, Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) of the Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

Today's conversation is one I've been really looking forward to having because we're talking about something that impacts all of us, whether we love to think about it or not, and that's our relationship with money. It was an absolute pleasure sitting down with Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones—Financial Expert, host of the Financial Tea podcast, and New York Times bestselling author of Future Rich Person—for a refreshingly honest conversation about money, wealth, spending, and the stories we carry about finances. From childhood money beliefs and financial shame to social media-fueled spending and the pressure to look and feel "successful," Haley breaks down why so many of us feel overwhelmed by money...and then she tells us what to do about it.We get into the difference between showing wealth and growing wealth, why women are often taught to be hesitant with money instead of powerful with it, how money impacts relationships, and the simple habits that can help anyone feel more financially confident. She lets us in on all her practical advice on emergency funds, investing, negotiating, and becoming a Future Rich Person. This episode is for everyone, whether you're feeling behind financially, unsure about how much you should be spending, or simply want a healthier relationship with money.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Segíthetek valamiben?”En: "You look quite anxious. Can I help with something?"Hu: László megdöbbenve nézett rá, de a kedvesség valahogy megnyugtatta.En: László looked at her, astonished, but somehow her kindness calmed him.Hu: „Köszönöm,” felelte.En: "Thank you," he replied.Hu: „Csak a csomagomra várok... Ráadásul sietnem kellene, de az írás miatt nehezen találom meg a fókuszt.”En: "I'm just waiting for my luggage... Plus, I need to hurry, but I'm having trouble focusing because of the writing."Hu: Ágnes együttérzően bólintott.En: Ágnes nodded sympathetically.Hu: „Úgy tűnik, mindketten keresünk valamit.En: "It seems we're both searching for something.Hu: Én a fotózásban próbálok új inspirációt találni.”En: I'm trying to find new inspiration in photography."Hu: Ahogy beszélgetni kezdtek, gyorsan kialakult egyfajta könnyed kémia köztük.En: As they started talking, a kind of easy chemistry quickly developed between them.Hu: Ágnes elképzelései az izlandi fényképekről, a természet nyers erőiről, Lászlót is inspirálták.En: Ágnes's ideas about her Icelandic photos, about nature's raw forces, also inspired László.Hu: „Mi lenne, ha sétálnánk egyet Budapesten?En: "How about we take a walk around Budapest?Hu: Hátha jön valami varázslat” – javasolta Ágnes.En: Maybe we'll find some magic," suggested Ágnes.Hu: Ezúttal László nem habozott.En: This time, László didn't hesitate.Hu: „Jó ötlet!En: "Great idea!Hu: Amúgy is terveztem, hogy több időt töltök a város felfedezésével.En: I was planning to spend more time exploring the city anyway.Hu: Miért ne kezdhetnénk most?”En: Why not start now?"Hu: Ahogy kiléptek a repülőtérről, a város nyüzsgése magával ragadta őket.En: As they stepped out of the airport, the city's hustle and bustle captivated them.Hu: A napot szinte végigsétálták: átkeltek a Duna felett, élvezték a város sokszínűségét, és szinte elvesztek a kávézók és művészeti kiállítások világában.En: They spent nearly the whole day walking: crossing the Danube, enjoying the city's diversity, and almost losing themselves in the world of cafés and art exhibitions.Hu: Kiderült, hogy mindkettőjüket lenyűgözte a művészet és a történetek mesélése.En: It turned out both of them were fascinated by art and storytelling.Hu: Este felé, ahogy a nap lassan lebukott a horizont mögött, László úgy döntött, marad egy hetet Budapesten.En: Towards the evening, as the sun slowly dipped below the horizon, László decided to stay a week in Budapest.Hu: „Talán itt van az a szikra, amit kerestem” – súgta, miközben megfogta Ágnes kezét.En: "Maybe the spark I'm looking for is here," he whispered, holding Ágnes's hand.Hu: Ágnes mosolygott, érezte, hogy a világ más színekben tündököl.En: Ágnes smiled, feeling the world shimmer with new colors.Hu: Felfedezett valamit, amit már-már elvesztett: a szenvedélyt az élet iránt.En: She discovered something she had almost lost: a passion for life.Hu: Ahogy a város fényei felgyúltak, a két utazó tudta, hogy találkozásuk új fejezetet nyitott mindkettőjük életében.En: As the city's lights came on, the two travelers knew their meeting had opened a new chapter in both their lives.Hu: László írói blokkja megszűnt, és Ágnes újra érezte, hogy élete tele van lehetőségekkel.En: László's writer's block disappeared, and Ágnes felt once more that her life was full of possibilities.Hu: És mindez egy egyszerű beszélgetéssel kezdődött a világ egy zsúfolt repülőterén.En: And it all began with a simple conversation at a crowded airport in the world.

Some relationships don't fall apart overnight…they slowly reveal the truth you've been trying not to see. On this episode of The Rewrite, I sit down with Jennifer Warren Mediwn—Empowerment Strategist, Divorce Coach, and founder of JWM Coaching—for a conversation that is as honest as it is transformative. Jennifer shares her deeply personal story of staying in a 17-year marriage she knew, early on, wasn't truly aligned—and the fear, pressure, and self-doubt that kept her there. Until one day… she chose herself. We talk about:• The quiet voice we ignore—and what happens when it gets louder• Victims or Creators / Not a To Do BUT a To Be• How to rebuild self-trust after years of disconnect• What it really takes to leave—and begin again• Her I.M.P.A.C.T. Method + “Brave Bites Forward™” approach to healing • Her book Strategies & Tips from a Divorce Coach: A Roadmap to Move Forward, a practical and empowering guide for those navigating the challenges of divorce. This isn't just about divorce—it's about truth, courage, and the moment you realize you hold the key to your own freedom. If something in your life feels off… this episode will speak to you.

Imagine a people group, repeatedly conquered, exiled, and scattered across the entire globe for nearly 1,900 years. Their ancient capital lies in ruins. Their language is mostly dead outside of religious texts. Their homeland is a backwater province ruled by successive empires. Every empire that tried to eradicate them has all failed. Against overwhelming odds they flourish as a technological, economic, agricultural, military powerhouse. But perhaps the most astonishing of all this is that it was all predicted in remarkable detail by Hebrew prophets more than 2,500 years ago!In today's study I would like to focus on 3 main points that provide substantial evidence that prove why this single Bible prophecy is considered by most scholars to be the greatest prophecy that has been fulfilled in our lifetime:1) Prophetic Precision - Ancient Predictions Fulfilled in Our Lifetime2) Promise Preservation - God's Unbreakable Covenants Faithfully Kept3) Powerful Proof - Its Irrefutability Among All PropheciesKey Scriptures used in today's teaching: Ezekiel 36:22-24Other Scriptures referenced: Deuteronomy 28:64-65; Isaiah 11:12; Jeremiah 30:3; Amos 9:14-15; Romans 1:1-2Unless stated otherwise, most Scripture is read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

Description:He's back — and this time he brought a memoir. Comedian Kevin James Thornton returns to For the Love, and if you thought you knew Kevin from his hilarious auto-tuned TikToks and wired-headphone microphone bits, this conversation will lovingly surprise you. Kevin's debut memoir, Big Baby: On Endings, Beginnings, and an Interdimensional Cat, traces his journey from performing as a literal sin clown on a youth group mission trip in 1990s New York City, to grinding it out on the stand-up circuit in LA, to touring one-man shows across the US, Canada, and eventually the world — Helsinki, Stockholm, Paris — all the way to present-day Cincinnati, where he's navigating a major life upheaval with nothing but his 13-pound black cat Comet and an extraordinary amount of hard-won self-awareness. In this conversation, Kevin opens up about what it actually took to write a book — including the two-week-long Airbnb retreat where he mostly just slept and watched TV because his attention span had been completely obliterated — and what surprised him most about recording the audiobook (hint: he cried, more than once, and they left it in). He talks about the strange, freeing moment he realized he no longer needed to prove himself to anyone, and how that shift was the very thing that made his work finally land. And he reflects on the beautiful, sometimes maddening truth that life doesn't end so much as it just keeps beginning again. Thought-provoking Quotes: "Even when I was living in my car, I was still dreaming about the next creative project...I was like that when I was 20. And I'm like that today." – Kevin James Thornton "I didn't realize that I went out into the world constantly trying to prove myself, that I was someone without Jesus. I didn't know that's what I was doing. I can see it so clearly looking backward now." – Kevin James Thornton "We sort of hand over this personal power to other people. It takes a long time to recognize and unlearn that." – Kevin James Thornton Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Brick - https://getbrick.com Jen's Substack - https://jenhatmaker.substack.com/ Sarah Bessey's Substack - https://sarahbessey.substack.com/ Big Baby: On Endings, Beginnings, and an Interdimensional Cat by Kevin James Thornton - https://amzn.to/4mVYPAJ Laughing Toward The Light: Comedian James Thornton Finds Himself at 50 - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-55/laughing-toward-the-light-comedian-james-thornton-finds-himself-at-50/ Create with Kevin (watercolor videos) - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX-UksfK1pG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Enneagram assessment - https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/ The Comedy Store - https://thecomedystore.com/ Big Baby audiobook - https://amzn.to/4eClfVL Guest's Links: Website - https://www.kevinjamesthornton.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kevinjamesthornton Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kevinjamesthornton1 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNQbKNgL8bcuH8z4pzh9flw TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kevinjamesthornton Substack - https://kevinjamesthornton.substack.com/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
