In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason sits down with Pieter Kort from Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Pieter lost two of his daughters—Madeleine "Maddie" Kort (13) and Joni Kort (10)—in a March 2022 rear end collision with a 70,000-pound cement truck while on vacation in Florida. Pieter shares what he remembers from the day of the crash, the extent of his family's injuries, and the unimaginable reality of staying in a Jacksonville hospital for six weeks while his wife Jamie remained in a state of post-traumatic amnesia for five weeks. He walks through the heartbreaking process of telling his son Ethan immediately after the accident, waiting to tell his daughter Hannah until she could retain the information after her severe traumatic brain injury, and eventually telling Jamie once she emerged from her compromised mental state. Together with Mason, Pieter talks about the remarkable recoveries of his surviving children—Hannah, who battled through a brain injury to become her high school valedictorian and is now pursuing neuropsychology, and Ethan, who returned to competitive basketball just weeks after the accident despite severe upper-body injuries. He shares Jamie's incredible resilience through her own recovery and how she remains the spirit of their family. Pieter opens up about grief, survivor's guilt, the lies we tell ourselves in dark moments, the importance of talking about his daughters rather than pretending they didn't exist, and how he navigates nightmares and intrusive thoughts. He discusses the Dolphin and Penguin Fund they created to reduce economic barriers for children in sports and the arts, the community events they hold to remember Maddie and Joni, and why keeping their memory alive through conversation and action has been essential to his survival. It's a heartbreaking conversation about unimaginable loss and a powerful reminder that life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% what you're going to do about it.

In this episode, Warren Ingram and Pieter de Villiers explore goal setting at the start of the new year, unpacking why New Year's resolutions so often fail and how social pressure can drive unrealistic expectations. They argue for focusing on fewer, well-defined goals that are specific, measurable, and achievable, rather than trying to change everything at once. The hosts introduce the SMART goal-setting framework and emphasize self-awareness, understanding the deeper “why” behind goals, and making small, incremental changes that compound over time, before previewing a follow-up episode focused on applying these principles to financial goals.TakeawaysSet one specific goal instead of multiple resolutions.Understand the deeper motivation behind your goals.Create systems to support your goal achievement.Incremental changes lead to significant improvements over time.Use the SMART framework for effective goal setting.Learn more about how Curate Investments can help you here.Send us a textHave a question for Warren?

What if God isn’t who religion told you He is? What if He’s far better—more loving, more merciful, more trustworthy—than you’ve ever dared to believe? In this heartfelt episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Pieter Zwart, founder of Foundation for Life in the Netherlands, shares his powerful journey into the revelation of the Father’s heart of God. After a near-death experience and years of ministry, Pieter began asking hard questions: If God is good, why do we see so much judgment, fear, and punishment in the Bible? As the Holy Spirit led him beyond old paradigms, Pieter discovered a transforming truth—God is exactly like Jesus, and His love is better than we thought. Through stories of personal breakthrough, family restoration, and a renewed vision for the Church in Europe, Pieter and Catherine explore:
 * How seeing God as a loving Father changes everything
 * Why we can’t be better parents than God is
 * How love—not fear—leads people to transformation
 * The shift from striving faith to resting in Christ’s faithfulness
 * Why the gospel is not a threat but a declaration of belonging This conversation will leave you free from fear, anchored in grace, and awakened to the reality that you were never separated from Love. “If the accusation is that the God I preach is too good to be true—I can live with that.” – Pieter Zwart * Key Scriptures: Luke 10:13, John 17:6, Acts 17:28, 1 John 4:18, Ephesians 2:8–9 Contact Pieter: Website: https://foundation4life.nl/ YouTube: @foundation4lifenl Facebook: @PieterZwart If this blessed you: • Subscribe for more conversations on God’s love, identity in Christ, and inner healing • Share this with a friend who needs hope today • Explore Catherine’s resources & community for next-step support Exhausted and worn out?

Story Transcript:Nl: Midden in het historische dorpsplein van een klein Nederlands stadje stond een kerstmarkt, glinsterend van lichtjes en versierd met dennengroen en rood lint.En: In the middle of the historic village square of a small Dutch town stood a Christmas market, glistening with lights and adorned with pine greenery and red ribbon.Nl: De lucht was koud en helder, en kleine sneeuwvlokken dwarrelden als veertjes naar beneden.En: The air was cold and clear, and tiny snowflakes fluttered down like feathers.Nl: Mensen liepen rond, nippen aan warme glühwein en neuzen door de kraampjes met ambachtelijke producten.En: People wandered around, sipping on warm glühwein and browsing through stalls with artisanal products.Nl: Tussen de kraampjes stond Pieter, een vrolijke man van in de veertig.En: Between the stalls stood Pieter, a cheerful man in his forties.Nl: Elk jaar vrijwilligde hij op de kerstmarkt, verkleed als allerlei geliefde kerstfiguren.En: Every year he volunteered at the Christmas market, dressed up as various beloved Christmas characters.Nl: Dit jaar had hij echter iets nieuws geprobeerd.En: This year, however, he had tried something new.Nl: Hij stond daar, ingesloten in een gigantisch houten klomp kostuum, bedoeld om een glimlach op ieders gezicht te toveren.En: He stood there, enclosed in a gigantic wooden clog costume, intended to bring a smile to everyone's face.Nl: Maar er was een klein probleem.En: But there was a small problem.Nl: Het kostuum, komisch groot en gezellig bedoeld, bleek moeilijk om uit te komen.En: The costume,

chimney sweep in the wind.Nl: Hij was vastbesloten om niet te laten zien dat hij in de problemen zat.En: He was determined not to show that he was in trouble.Nl: Dit was zijn kans om de ster van de markt te zijn.En: This was his chance to be the star of the market.Nl: Hij wiebelde en glibberde, probeerde stilletjes zijn ene voet voor de andere te planten en zichzelf te bevrijden.En: He wobbled and squirmed, trying quietly to plant one foot in front of the other and free himself.Nl: Maar de klomp leek alleen maar strakker te zitten.En: But the clog only seemed to tighten.Nl: Mensen om hem heen begonnen te giechelen, eerst stilletjes en toen steeds luider.En: People around him began to giggle, first quietly and then more loudly.Nl: Pieter grinnikte naar de kinderen die lakens vol pepernoten schudden.En: Pieter chuckled at the children shaking sheets full of pepernoten.Nl: Hij wuifde naar de voorbijgangers, alsof alles onderdeel was van de act.En: He waved to passersby, as if

chocolademelk.En: He looked around and saw his friends Maarten and Inge at a nearby stall with hot chocolate.Nl: „Maarten!En: "Maarten!Nl: Inge!En: Inge!Nl: Kom even hierheen!” Hij riep, zijn trots

ze Pieter voorzichtig uit de houten klomp te wringen.En: Laughing, but understanding, they carefully helped Pieter wriggle out of the wooden clog.Nl: Met moeite en teamwork kwam Pieter vrij.En: With effort and teamwork, Pieter was freed.Nl: Hij stond daar met een opgeluchte zucht, bedekt met sneeuwvlokken en een bredere glimlach dan ooit.En: He stood there with a relieved sigh, covered in

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01619 – 20 de dezembro de 2025 Colossenses 3:23 – Tudo quanto fizerdes, fazei-o de todo o coração, como para o Senhor e não para homens. Pieter Beckjen ganhava a vida transportando pessoas e bens no rio Amstel. Às vezes, ele navegava pelos canais de Amsterdã com outros crentes, para fazer seus cultos em segredo. Quando Pieter e sua esposa ganharam o primeiro filho, o casal tentou esconder o bebê para que não fossem forçados a crismá-lo na Igreja estatal. Mas alguns vizinhos os delataram aos magistrados. Acusado de “crimes contra a majestade divina e secular… perturbando a paz”, Pieter foi julgado e condenado à fogueira “e a ter todas as suas propriedades confiscadas”. Não sem antes o submeterem à tortura, em um último e cruel esforço de fazê-lo negar sua fé. Mas ela era inabalável. Pieter foi queimado em janeiro de 1569. Ao ouvir falar da condenação, Willem Janss viajou de uma vila onde se encontrava para o lugar da execução, para animar o amigo. Porém, ao chegar a Amsterdã, o portal já estava fechado. E Willem teve que convencer o guarda a deixá-lo entrar. Correu para o local da execução e chegou no exato momento em que Pieter era levado ao patíbulo. Willem gritou: “Não perca a coragem, irmão querido”. O que teria dado a Pieter uma fé capaz de desafiar a morte, entregando-se, “de todo o coração”, ao Senhor, sem hesitar? Há uma razão significativa: Ele cria que Jesus foi mais do que um homem bom; que Jesus era divino e que Sua oferta de vida eterna era real. Rejeitá-Lo seria rejeitar a vida eterna. Pieter aceitou as palavras do Salvador para Marta: “Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida. Quem crê em Mim, ainda que morra, viverá; e todo o que vive e crê em Mim não morrerá, eternamente” (João 11:25 e 26). Os mártires do passado olhavam além das chamas e viam a eternidade. Pela fé, apegavam-se às promessas: “Quem crê em Mim… não morrerá” (Jo 11:25 e 26); “a vossa vida está oculta juntamente com Cristo, em Deus” (Cl 3:3). A promessa de ressurreição é certa. Ele vai cumprir Sua palavra. Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Pai, que essa mesma fidelidade inegociável esteja bem definida em nossa vida e em nosso relacionamento contigo. Toma conta de todas as coisas, por favor! Em nome de Jesus, amém!

When you're filling in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the idea of an international competition testing those skills is probably far from your mind. Yet Excel has become an esport, with competitors from around the world solving high‑pressure challenges on a major stage in Las Vegas. This year, University of Pretoria student Pieter Pienaar became the world champion in the 2025 Microsoft Excel Collegiate Challenge. Pienaar, who is currently completing his chartered accountant articles with PwC, told BizNews that for him Excel is a powerful problem‑solving tool, and that is exactly what the championship tested. When it comes to future developments in Excel, he strongly supports the role of AI because it democratises problem‑solving, provided companies act responsibly and ensure proper auditing. But, he adds, it should definitely not be used by the National Treasury to do your taxes.

Buma constateerde deze week dat een meerderheidskabinet niet haalbaar is en lijkt nu steun te zoeken voor een rechts minderheidskabinet (D66, CDA, VVD).

Verder komt aan bod: de WIA-chaos als symptoom van onuitvoerbare, te complexe overheid en natuurlijk het Nexperia-dossier, waarin de drieste ingreep van minister Karremans tot brede discussie leidt.

In this live PAC Talk session, coach Pieter Vodden sits down with writer and strength-training historian Michael Joseph Gross to explore what strength really means — not just for performance, but for longevity and quality of life. They trace the history of strength culture from ancient Greece to modern gyms, unpack how we've told stories about muscle over the centuries, and why we're only just beginning to understand how powerful strength training is for living longer, better lives.Michael shares how learning a scary new sport in his 40s pushed him into serious training and ultimately into eight years of research on strength — from motor units and neurology to myth, culture, and identity. He and Pieter break down why strength training has to become as automatic as brushing your teeth, how a simple, consistent program can change your body and mind at any age, and why the real magic happens when strength becomes part of your story, not just your routine.They dive into the science of muscle and aging, including landmark studies on people in their 90s who dramatically improved strength, independence, and life expectancy after just eight weeks of resistance training. Michael explains how lifting can reduce risk for chronic disease, support brain health, and even rival antidepressants for many people. The conversation also tackles the myth of “brain vs. brawn,” showing how muscle actually supports cognition, emotional resilience, and empathy.A big part of this talk centers on women and strength, featuring the story of Jan Todd and the fight to normalize heavyweight training for women. Pieter and Michael break down persistent myths about “bulking,” “girl exercises vs. boy exercises,” and the way fitness marketing has confused people about what really works. They also talk about the synergy between strength and cardio, the pros and cons of bodybuilding culture, why relatability matters more than extremity, and how community gyms like Pharos help people build not just muscle, but a shared sense of meaning and connection through training.Connect with MichaelBuy his bookInstagramWebsite

In this episode of Thinking Christian, I sit down with Pieter Valk—founder and director of Equip and a founding brother of an ecumenical monastery in Nashville—to talk about what it really means to follow Jesus as single men and women in the church. Pieter shares how his ministry equips churches and parents to care well for people who experience same-sex attraction or gender incongruence while embracing a historic Christian sexual ethic. We explore the biblical vision for vocational singleness versus the default of “common singleness,” how marriage and singleness can actually reinforce one another, and why the church often feels ill-equipped to walk with LGBT+ Christians. Pieter also explains mixed-orientation marriage, challenges reductions of marriage to a “sexual outlet,” and helps reframe both marriage and singleness as vocations ordered toward spiritual fruitfulness. We close by reflecting on the political battles around sexuality and gender, how those debates have often distorted Christian witness, and what it might look like for the church to lead with discipleship, clarity, and hope instead of just echoing partisan talking points. If you’re a pastor, parent, or disciple trying to think more faithfully about sexuality, singleness, and manhood, this conversation will give you categories, language, and practical direction to move forward.

Filmmaker and N8RLND founder Pieter van den Braak joins the Internet of Nature Podcast for a walk through Eindhoven's Philips de Jonghpark—a city park dense enough to feel like a pocket forest. Pieter shares how, during a period of feeling unmoored in his early twenties, nature became the one place that offered clarity, calm, and a sense of belonging he couldn't find anywhere else.We talk about the quiet drift into burnout, why awe can reset an overwhelmed mind, and how “microdosing nature” for five minutes a day can shift the tone of an entire morning. Pieter explains how this personal turning point led him to build N8RLND, a media platform designed to counter doomscroll culture with films and stories that reconnect people to the living world.Along the way, we explore why solitude in nature feels different from loneliness, how simple outdoor rituals can anchor mental health, and why, as Pieter puts it, “you don't need to know anything about nature to feel part of it.”

In today's episode, Warren Ingram and Pieter de Villiers discuss the common misconceptions about tax planning and emphasizes the importance of focusing on investment growth rather than solely on tax efficiency. They argue that while being tax aware is important, the primary goal should be to achieve substantial investment returns.TakeawaysDon't do all of your planning to avoid or minimize tax.The most efficient way to avoid estate tax is to spend all your money.Taxes are part and parcel of transferring assets to the next generation.High growing investments are preferable to low growth tax-efficient investments.Building complex tax structures can be expensive and counterproductive.Be intentional about tax awareness while focusing on investment growth.The main thing should always be achieving the best investment outcome.Avoid getting caught up in tax strategies that detract from growth.Investing should prioritize returns over tax efficiency.Simplicity in financial planning can lead to better outcomes.Learn more about how Curate Investments can help you here.Send us a textHave a question for Warren?
