WhoDeb Hatley, Owner of Hatley Pointe, North CarolinaRecorded onJuly 30, 2025About Hatley PointeClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Deb and David Hatley since 2023 - purchased from Orville English, who had owned and operated the resort since 1992Located in: Mars Hill, North CarolinaYear founded: 1969 (as Wolf Laurel or Wolf Ridge; both names used over the decades)Pass affiliations: Indy Pass, Indy+ Pass – 2 days, no blackoutsClosest neighboring ski areas: Cataloochee (1:25), Sugar Mountain (1:26)Base elevation: 4,000 feetSummit elevation: 4,700 feetVertical drop: 700 feetSkiable acres: 54Average annual snowfall: 65 inchesTrail count: 21 (4 beginner, 11 intermediate, 6 advanced)Lift count: 4 active (1 fixed-grip quad, 1 ropetow, 2 carpets); 2 inactive, both on the upper mountain (1 fixed-grip quad, 1 double)Why I interviewed herOur world has not one map, but many. Nature drew its own with waterways and mountain ranges and ecosystems and tectonic plates. We drew our maps on top of these, to track our roads and borders and political districts and pipelines and railroad tracks.Our maps are functional, simplistic. They insist on fictions. Like the 1,260-mile-long imaginary straight line that supposedly splices the United States from Canada between Washington State and Minnesota. This frontier is real so long as we say so, but if humanity disappeared tomorrow, so would that line.Nature's maps are more resilient. This is where water flows because this is where water flows. If we all go away, the water keeps flowing. This flow, in turn, impacts the shape and function of the entire world.One of nature's most interesting maps is its mountain map. For most of human existence, mountains mattered much more to us than they do now. Meaning: we had to respect these giant rocks because they stood convincingly in our way. It took European settlers centuries to navigate en masse over the Appalachians, which is not even a severe mountain range, by global mountain-range standards. But paved roads and tunnels and gas stations every five miles have muted these mountains' drama. You can now drive from the Atlantic Ocean to the Midwest in half a day.So spoiled by infrastructure, we easily forget how dramatically mountains command huge parts of our world. In America, we know this about our country: the North is cold and the South is warm. And we define these regions using battle maps from a 19th Century war that neatly bisected the nation. Another imaginary line. We travel south for beaches and north to ski and it is like this everywhere, a gentle progression, a continent-length slide that warms as you descend from Alaska to Panama.But mountains disrupt this logic. Because where the land goes up, the air grows cooler. And there are mountains all over. And so we have skiing not just in expected places such as Vermont and Maine and Michigan and Washington, but in completely irrational ones like Arizona and New Mexico and Southern California. And North Carolina.North Carolina. That's the one that surprised me. When I started skiing, I mean. Riding hokey-poke chairlifts up 1990s Midwest hills that wouldn't qualify as rideable surf breaks, I peered out at the world to figure out where else people skied and what that skiing was like. And I was astonished by how many places had organized skiing with cut trails and chairlifts and lift tickets, and by how many of them were way down the Michigan-to-Florida slide-line in places where I thought that winter never came: West Virginia and Virginia and Maryland. And North Carolina.Yes there are ski areas in more improbable states. But Cloudmont, situated in, of all places, Alabama, spins its ropetow for a few days every other year or so. North Carolina, home to six ski areas spinning a combined 35 chairlifts, allows for no such ambiguity: this is a ski state. And these half-dozen ski centers are not marginal operations: Sugar Mountain and Cataloochee opened for the season last week, and they sometimes open in October. Sugar spins a six-pack and two detach quads on a 1,200-foot vertical drop.This geographic quirk is a product of our wonderful Appalachian Mountain chain, which reaches its highest points not in New England but in North Carolina, where Mount Mitchell peaks at 6,684 feet, 396 feet higher than the summit of New Hampshire's Mount Washington. This is not an anomaly: North Carolina is home to six summits taller than Mount Washington, and 12 of the 20-highest in the Appalachians, a range that stretches from Alabama to Newfoundland. And it's not just the summits that are taller in North Carolina. The highest ski area base elevation in New England is Saddleback, which measures 2,147 feet at the bottom of the South Branch quad (the mountain more typically uses the 2,460-foot measurement at the bottom of the Rangeley quad). Either way, it's more than 1,000 feet below the lowest base-area elevation in North Carolina:Unfortunately, mountains and elevation don't automatically equal snow. And the Southern Appalachians are not exactly the Kootenays. It snows some, sometimes, but not so much, so often, that skiing can get by on nature's contributions alone - at least not in any commercially reliable form. It's no coincidence that North Carolina didn't develop any organized ski centers until the 1960s, when snowmaking machines became efficient and common enough for mass deployment. But it's plenty cold up at 4,000 feet, and there's no shortage of water. Snowguns proved to be skiing's last essential ingredient.Well, there was one final ingredient to the recipe of southern skiing: roads. Back to man's maps. Specifically, America's interstate system, which steamrolled the countryside throughout the 1960s and passes just a few miles to Hatley Pointe's west. Without these superhighways, western North Carolina would still be a high-peaked wilderness unknown and inaccessible to most of us.It's kind of amazing when you consider all the maps together: a severe mountain region drawn into the borders of a stable and prosperous nation that builds physical infrastructure easing the movement of people with disposable income to otherwise inaccessible places that have been modified for novel uses by tapping a large and innovative industrial plant that has reduced the miraculous – flight, electricity, the internet - to the commonplace. And it's within the context of all these maps that a couple who knows nothing about skiing can purchase an established but declining ski resort and remake it as an upscale modern family ski center in the space of 18 months.What we talked aboutHurricane Helene fallout; “it took every second until we opened up to make it there,” even with a year idle; the “really tough” decision not to open for the 2023-24 ski season; “we did not realize what we were getting ourselves into”; buying a ski area when you've never worked at a ski area and have only skied a few times; who almost bought Wolf Ridge and why Orville picked the Hatleys instead; the importance of service; fixing up a broken-down ski resort that “felt very old”; updating without losing the approachable family essence; why it was “absolutely necessary” to change the ski area's name; “when you pulled in, the first thing that you were introduced to … were broken-down machines and school buses”; Bible verses and bare trails and busted-up everything; “we could have spent two years just doing cleanup of junk and old things everywhere”; Hatley Pointe then and now; why Hatley removed the double chair; a detachable six-pack at Hatley?; chairlifts as marketing and branding tools; why the Breakaway terrain closed and when it could return and in what form; what a rebuilt summit lodge could look like; Hatley Pointe's new trails; potential expansion; a day-ski area, a resort, or both?; lift-served mountain bike park incoming; night-skiing expansion; “I was shocked” at the level of après that Hatley drew, and expanding that for the years ahead; North Carolina skiing is all about the altitude; re-opening The Bowl trail; going to online-only sales; and lessons learned from 2024-25 that will build a better Hatley for 2025-26.What I got wrongWhen we recorded this conversation, the ski area hadn't yet finalized the name of the new green trail coming off of Eagle – it is Pat's Way (see trailmap above).I asked if Hatley intended to install night-skiing, not realizing that they had run night-ski operations all last winter.Why now was a good time for this interviewPardon my optimism, but I'm feeling good about American lift-served skiing right now. Each of the past five winters has been among the top 10 best seasons for skier visits, U.S. ski areas have already built nearly as many lifts in the 2020s (246) as they did through all of the 2010s (288), and multimountain passes have streamlined the flow of the most frequent and passionate skiers between mountains, providing far more flexibility at far less cost than would have been imaginable even a decade ago.All great. But here's the best stat: after declining throughout the 1980s and ‘90s, the number of active U.S. ski areas stabilized around the turn of the century, and has actually increased for five consecutive winters:Those are National Ski Areas Association numbers, which differ slightly from mine. I count 492 active ski hills for 2023-24 and 500 for last winter, and I project 510 potentially active ski areas for the 2025-26 campaign. But no matter: the number of active ski operations appears to be increasing.But the raw numbers matter less than the manner in which this uptick is happening. In short: a new generation of owners is resuscitating lost or dying ski areas. Many have little to no ski industry experience. Driven by nostalgia, a sense of community duty, plain business opportunity, or some combination of those things, they are orchestrating massive ski area modernization projects, funded via their own wealth – typically earned via other enterprises – or by rallying a donor base.Examples abound. When I launched The Storm in 2019, Saddleback, Maine; Norway Mountain, Michigan; Woodward Park City; Thrill Hills, North Dakota; Deer Mountain, South Dakota; Paul Bunyan, Wisconsin; Quarry Road, Maine; Steeplechase, Minnesota; and Snowland, Utah were all lost ski areas. All are now open again, and only one – Woodward – was the project of an established ski area operator (Powdr). Cuchara, Colorado and Nutt Hill, Wisconsin are on the verge of re-opening following decades-long lift closures. Bousquet, Massachusetts; Holiday Mountain, New York; Kissing Bridge, New York; and Black Mountain, New Hampshire were disintegrating in slow-motion before energetic new owners showed up with wrecking balls and Home Depot frequent-shopper accounts. New owners also re-energized the temporarily dormant Sandia Peak, New Mexico and Tenney, New Hampshire.One of my favorite revitalization stories has been in North Carolina, where tired, fire-ravaged, investment-starved, homey-but-rickety Wolf Ridge was falling down and falling apart. The ski area's season ended in February four times between 2018 and 2023. Snowmaking lagged. After an inferno ate the summit lodge in 2014, no one bothered rebuilding it. Marooned between the rapidly modernizing North Carolina ski trio of Sugar Mountain, Cataloochee, and Beech, Wolf Ridge appeared to be rapidly fading into irrelevance.Then the Hatleys came along. Covid-curious first-time skiers who knew little about skiing or ski culture, they saw opportunity where the rest of us saw a reason to keep driving. Fixing up a ski area turned out to be harder than they'd anticipated, and they whiffed on opening for the 2023-24 winter. Such misses sometimes signal that the new owners are pulling their ripcords as they launch out of the back of the plane, but the Hatleys kept working. They gut-renovated the lodge, modernized the snowmaking plant, tore down an SLI double chair that had witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And last winter, they re-opened the best version of the ski area now known as Hatley Pointe that locals had seen in decades.A great winter – one of the best in recent North Carolina history – helped. But what I admire about the Hatleys – and this new generation of owners in general – is their optimism in a cultural moment that has deemed optimism corny and naïve. Everything is supposed to be terrible all the time, don't you know that? They didn't know, and that orientation toward the good, tempered by humility and patience, reversed the long decline of a ski area that had in many ways ceased to resonate with the world it existed in.The Hatleys have lots left to do: restore the Breakaway terrain, build a new summit lodge, knot a super-lift to the frontside. And their Appalachian salvage job, while impressive, is not a very repeatable blueprint – you need considerable wealth to take a season off while deploying massive amounts of capital to rebuild the ski area. The Hatley model is one among many for a generation charged with modernizing increasingly antiquated ski areas before they fall over dead. Sometimes, as in the examples itemized above, they succeed. But sometimes they don't. Comebacks at Cockaigne and Hickory, both in New York, fizzled. Sleeping Giant, Wyoming and Ski Blandford, Massachusetts both shuttered after valiant rescue attempts. All four of these remain salvageable, but last week, Four Seasons, New York closed permanently after 63 years.That will happen. We won't be able to save every distressed ski area, and the potential supply of new or revivable ski centers, barring massive cultural and regulatory shifts, will remain limited. But the protectionist tendencies limiting new ski area development are, in a trick of human psychology, the same ones that will drive the revitalization of others – the only thing Americans resist more than building something new is taking away something old. Which in our country means anything that was already here when we showed up. A closed or closing ski area riles the collective angst, throws a snowy bat signal toward the night sky, a beacon and a dare, a cry and a plea: who wants to be a hero?Podcast NotesOn Hurricane HeleneHelene smashed inland North Carolina last fall, just as Hatley was attempting to re-open after its idle year. Here's what made the storm so bad:On Hatley's socialsFollow:On what I look for at a ski resortOn the Ski Big Bear podcastIn the spirit of the article above, one of the top 10 Storm Skiing Podcast guest quotes ever came from Ski Big Bear, Pennsylvania General Manager Lori Phillips: “You treat everyone like they paid a million dollars to be there doing what they're doing”On ski area name changesI wrote a piece on Hatley's name change back in 2023:Ski area name changes are more common than I'd thought. I've been slowly documenting past name changes as I encounter them, so this is just a partial list, but here are 93 active U.S. ski areas that once went under a different name. If you know of others, please email me.On Hatley at the point of purchase and nowGigantic collections of garbage have always fascinated me. That's essentially what Wolf Ridge was at the point of sale:It's a different place now:On the distribution of six-packs across the nationSix-pack chairlifts are rare and expensive enough that they're still special, but common enough that we're no longer amazed by them. Mostly - it depends on where we find such a machine. Just 112 of America's 3,202 ski lifts (3.5 percent) are six-packs, and most of these (75) are in the West (60 – more than half the nation's total, are in Colorado, Utah, or California). The Midwest is home to a half-dozen six-packs, all at Boyne or Midwest Family Ski Resorts operations, and the East has 31 sixers, 17 of which are in New England, and 12 of which are in Vermont. If Hatley installed a sixer, it would be just the second such chairlift in North Carolina, and the fifth in the Southeast, joining the two at Wintergreen, Virginia and the one at Timberline, West Virginia.On the Breakaway fireWolf Ridge's upper-mountain lodge burned down in March 2014. Yowza:On proposed expansions Wolf Ridge's circa 2007 trailmap teases a potential expansion below the now-closed Breakaway terrain:Taking our time machine back to the late ‘80s, Wolf Ridge had envisioned an even more ambitious expansion:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Jesus wants your life to overflow with joy—real joy that comes from abiding in Him. In this week’s message, guest Pastor Regis Johnson teaches from John 15:1–11 as part of our Final Words series. Discover how staying connected to Christ, the True Vine, leads to lasting fruit, answered prayer, and fullness of joy. This message explores what it truly means to “abide in Christ”—to rest in His love, to bear spiritual fruit, and to trust the Father’s pruning that shapes us for His glory and our good. This week in Final Words: - Learn how abiding in Jesus leads to a fruitful, purpose-filled life - Experience God’s pruning as a path to peace, not pain - Find joy that remains even when life feels uncertain “These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” — John 15:11 #ThisIsForYourJoy #FinalWords #PastorRegisJohnson #ConnectionPointeChurch #ChristianSermon #AbideInChrist #FruitOfTheSpirit #JoyInJesus #BibleTeaching NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

In the final week of our series Christ, Culture, & Politics, Pastor John S. Dickerson delivers a powerful and emotional message calling believers to see our nation and world through the lens of Scripture—not the culture. When Jesus wept over Jerusalem, He saw people rejecting truth and walking toward destruction. Today, we face similar spiritual battles of deception, division, and darkness. Yet there is still hope—for individuals, for nations, and for the Church—through Christ alone. In this message, Pastor John shares: - Why revival begins with transformed thinking (Romans 12:2) - How Christians can engage culture without losing focus on Christ’s Kingdom - Why Jesus still weeps for nations that turn from Him - The only true hope for freedom, equality, and peace in any society “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face… then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14 This is not a call to fear, but a call to faith—a call to be courageous, discerning, and devoted to Christ above all else. #ChristCulturePolitics #PastorJohnDickerson #FaithAndPolitics #ConnectionPointeChurch #ChristianWorldview #JesusOverPolitics #BiblicalWorldview #SpiritualRevival #ChristianLiving #GraceAndTruth NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

Progressing to pointe work has long been considered a rite of passage for many aspiring ballet dancers. However, it does not come without risks. Dancing en pointe increases the forces placed on the foot by up to 12x bodyweight, and if progressed too soon can lead to an increased risk of pain and injury.Historically, dancers were thought to be ready to start training en pointe at 12 years of age.  However, with advances in dance science, it is now known that there are many complex factors besides chronological age which can help to determine when it is safe for a dancer to progress en pointe.In this week's podcast episode, I discuss the benefits of having a formal pre-pointe readiness screening assessment, including an update on current research. You'll learn which functional tasks have been validated in the research to have the highest correlation with readiness to progress to pointe work.Pointe Assessment Resources:Pre-Pointe Assessment ToolkitResearch articles mentioned in this episode:Determining Pointe Readiness Readiness in Young Adolescent Female Dancers: A Systematic ReviewPointe Assessment Screen Shah Edison (PASSE) for Pointe Readiness: A Pilot StudyFunctional Criteria for Assessing Pointe ReadinessEpisodes mentioned in this podcast:Episode 4: Pre-Pointe AssessmentsLearn more about Erika Mayall:Follow me on Instagram: @dancephysioerikaLearn more about me on my website: https://www.allegroperformance.comSign up for my newsletter: Click hereSend me an email: hello@allegroperformance.com

Four years after losing his job as mayor of Pointe-Claire by 61 votes, John Belvedere won it back during Nov. 2's municipal election. He spoke to Andrew Carter.

Interview Date: May 11th, 2025Houston Ballet soloist Jacquelyn Long traces her path from living-room pliés with her mom (a former pro) to summer intensives, HBII, and the main company. She shares how relationships and coachability shaped her trajectory, why modern/contemporary versatility now matters as much as classical technique, and how social media helps—but shouldn't replace—the messy, vital process. We dig into audition materials, the “right” photos, favorite roles (Sylvia! Cinderella!), life as a working ballerina (weekly schedule, contracts, AGMA, benefits), pointe-shoe realities, nerves and mindset, longevity habits, and her growing passion for choreography.

«Unsere kleine Botschaft» heisst die erste Sitcom, die SRF seit 20 Jahren produziert hat. In der Sendung «Treffpunkt» schauen wir mit Hauptdarstellerin Susanne Kunz und Regisseur Johannes Bachmann hinter die Kulissen der 6-teiligen Serie. Wir erfahren, wie die Sitcom entstanden ist, wieviele Menschen an einer Pointe mitarbeiten und wie schwierig es ist, lustig zu sein. Susanne Kunz gibt Einblicke, wie sie sich in die Figur der Botschafterin Bea eingelebt hat und Regisseur Johannes Bachmann verrät, wie anders man an eine Sitcom herangehen muss, die immer im selben Studio gedreht wird, als an eine Action-Serie wie es «Tschugger» ist, bei der er auch Regie geführt hat.

Un diggeur passionné des Caraïbes talonné par un poète anglo-trinidadien qui slame la mémoire des afro-descendants. (Rediffusion) Emile Omar est notre 1er invité pour présenter le 3e volume de la série Disques Debs International Mizik Maladi (Strut Record 2025). Une compilation concoctée par Emile Omar et Hugo Mendez. Strut présente avec enthousiasme le troisième volume tant attendu de la série Disques Debs International, explorant plus en profondeur les archives de l'un des plus grands labels franco-caribéens, Disques Debs, basé en Guadeloupe. Fondé par le visionnaire Henri Debs à la fin des années 1950, le label et son studio ont fonctionné pendant plus de 50 ans, produisant plus de 300 singles 7” et 200 albums, faisant de Disques Debs un pilier de l'histoire musicale caribéenne. Au début des années 1980, Henri Debs s'était déjà imposé comme un producteur prolifique, avec un catalogue de sorties inégalé en Guadeloupe et en Martinique. Parti d'un simple magnétophone deux pistes installé à l'arrière d'une boutique de vêtements, Disques Debs s'est transformé en une véritable institution, avec un studio ultramoderne en plein cœur de Pointe-à-Pitre, des magasins de disques et d'instruments de musique en Guadeloupe, en Martinique et à Paris, une discothèque au Gosier, ainsi que des accords de distribution internationale en Europe, aux États-Unis et en Amérique du Sud. Disques Debs a joué un rôle essentiel dans l'évolution de la musique caribéenne moderne, créant un pont entre les genres traditionnels comme la biguine et le gwoka et les styles contemporains comme le cadence, le compas et le zouk. Ce dernier est devenu un phénomène mondial dans les années 1980 grâce à des groupes emblématiques comme Kassav' et Zouk Machine. Durant cette période, le label a soutenu une nouvelle génération d'artistes tout en continuant à collaborer avec des figures légendaires des décennies précédentes. Le volume 3 de cette série, compilé par Emile Omar et Hugo Mendez, met en lumière l'une des périodes les plus dynamiques et influentes du label, alors qu'il étendait son rayonnement international dans les années 1980. À travers deux vinyles, cette sortie propose une sélection soigneusement choisie de morceaux issus de l'univers Disques Debs, mettant en avant à la fois de jeunes talents et des artistes confirmés qui ont marqué cette époque. Cette collection célèbre non seulement l'héritage inégalé d'Henri Debs, mais offre également un instantané de l'âge d'or de la musique caribéenne, confirmant Disques Debs comme une véritable institution culturelle. ► Titres joués - Christian Yéyé – Misyé Zanndo - Horizon – Neg Mawon - Alex Rosa – L'Appel des champions - Max et Henri – Sé Pou Demen ► Album Mizik Maladi, l'âge d'or des Disques Debs International (Strut Record 2025) Bandcamp Volume 1  Bandcamp Volume 2 Cadence Revolution  Bandcamp Volume 3 Mizik Maladi À écouter aussiSpéciale Disques Debs international avec Émile Omar Notre 2nd invité est Anthony Joseph pour la sortie de l'album Rowing up River to Get Our Names Back. L'origine africaine des OVNI, George Clinton en personne, n'aurait pas désavoué ce concept afro-futuriste dont Anthony Joseph avait fait le sujet de The African Origins Of Ufo's, sa nouvelle écrite il y a bientôt vingt ans. Durant ce laps de temps, les albums du chanteur-poète de Trinidad se sont succédé, mais l'idée ne s'est pas évaporée. Après un travail de réflexion et de recherches artistiques avec le musicien-producteur Dave Okumu, il est même devenu l'axe de rotation de son nouvel album. Base des premiers titres élaborés en duo, la nouvelle est ensuite devenue la rampe de lancement de Rowing Up River To Get Our Names Back Vol 1 & 2. D'une aventure si dense qu'il a fallu la scinder en deux parties. Après avoir solidement assuré la connexion musicale de toute la diaspora caribéenne sur ses précédents albums, Anthony Joseph s'engage dans une fresque musicale aussi ambitieuse que fascinante : l'exploration de toutes ces strates qui constituent la longue et tumultueuse histoire de la musique noire. Ces couches créatives qui se sont superposées et additionnées, la nouvelle se nourrissant de la précédente pour, sans le savoir, préparer l'arrivée de la suivante. Cet immense puzzle où, reliées par une forte conscience politique, les différentes pièces ont noirci les portées de leurs notes les plus intenses. Sculpté dans la cire des œuvres si impérissables qu'elles ont rendu stériles toutes les tentatives d'altération des décennies qui se sont accumulées. Forme, fond, portée révolutionnaire, tout est resté intact. Y compris l'esprit de tous ces musiciens qui ne se sont exprimés que par la voix de leur instrument, la puissance de leur groove, la radicalité de leur démarche artistique. Funk, P-Funk, soul, dub, free-jazz, jazz, afrobeat, blues, confrontant leurs deux visions musicales pour n'en former plus qu'une, c'est en binôme éclairé par les phares de leur créativité qu'Anthony Joseph et Dave Okumu ont façonné un afro-futurisme à l'esthétique mouvante et sans limites d'expansion. Stabilisée par cette volonté de raviver toutes les racines, l'exploration se conjugue à celle qui mène aux patronymes perdus. Ceux qui, entre le voyage depuis l'Afrique vers l'Amérique, se sont évaporés dans les flots de l'Atlantique et le claquement des fouets. Ceux dont ont été dépossédés les déracinés de force qui ont dû endosser celui du maître. Les peaux des batteries, le bois des baguettes et celui des percussions, le nylon de cordes, les métaux des saxophones et les trompettes, tout ce qui constitue l'arche organique dans laquelle ont embarqué les héros de la musique noire, révèle au moment du décollage un tableau de bord à l'électronique sophistiquée. Renforcer, voire supplanter certaines fonctions peut s'avérer utile tant la destination est lointaine. Elle est à des années-lumière d'ici. La rejoindre impose de connecter le présent avec le passé pour pouvoir l'emmener dans le futur. Dans l'afro futur. Là où, après avoir remonté la rivière, tous auront récupéré leurs noms et se seront réappropriés un pan de leur histoire. ► Titres joués extraits de l'album - Satellite - Tony - Black History - Churches of Sound ► Album Rowing up River to Get Our Names Back (Heavenly Sweetness 2025) Site – Bandcamp – YouTube.

Note aux auditrices et auditeurs : cet épisode a été diffusé pour la première fois le 24 mars 2025Les réseaux sociaux regorgent de conseils sur les relations amoureuses, avec toute une palette d'options entre le célibat et le couple.Les relations intimes de la jeunesse viennent justement d'être examinées à la loupe par l'Institut national d'études démographiques (Ined) qui a mené en 2023 une grande enquête auprès de plus de 10.000 jeunes adultes âgés de 18 à 29 ans et vivant en France métropolitaine pour en savoir plus sur leurs relations intimes.Cette étude a débouché sur un livre, "La sexualité qui vient" (Editions La Découverte).On y apprend que le couple reste une valeur cardinale mais aussi qu'entre le célibat et la vie à deux, il y a mille possibilités, mille étapes intermédiaires d'exploration.Il en est de même pour les identités et pratiques sexuelles. Et les plus grands changements de pratiques concernent les femmes.Sur le fil a invité l'auteure et sociologue Marie Bergström, qui a dirigé cet ouvrage collectif, pour en parler.Réalisation : Michaëla Cancela-KiefferSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

Marriage is God’s idea designed to bring love, belonging, and a glimpse of heaven on earth. But what do you do when conflict builds, expectations clash, or your relationship feels stuck? This week in our Heaven on Earth series, guest Pastor Bob Merritt shares practical and biblical wisdom from 47 years of marriage, counseling, and life experience. Drawing from Scripture and real-life stories, he unpacks four non-negotiables that every marriage needs to thrive: Lock the exit door — commit for the long haul.Allow for imperfections — nobody’s perfect.Give and receive bids — build connection in small daily ways.Eliminate all others — protect your marriage from outside threats. Whether you’re single, dating, newly married, or celebrating decades together, this message will encourage you with hope, honesty, and God’s design for lasting love. #HeavenOnEarth #MarriageGodsWay #ChristianMarriage #ConnectionPointeChristianChurch #FaithAndFamily NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

What if your family could be a little glimpse of heaven on earth? This week Pastor John begins our Heaven on Earth series, exploring God’s design for marriage, parenting, and family. From Genesis to Corinthians, Scripture shows us that while sin and selfishness bring brokenness, God’s love and patience restore us and transform our homes. Family is the most difficult and most important place to live out your faith. Marriage and parenting require dying to self and choosing to serve in love. God’s Spirit gives us humility, patience, and forgiveness to build healthy relationships. Family is the cocoon where God transforms us from old to new.

Sometimes the greatest opponent we face is ourselves. Sometimes it’s sin, fear, or even death. But no matter how many times people fail, God’s promises never do. This Baptism Weekend, Pastor John continues our Victorious series with a powerful reminder from Nehemiah: when we turn back to God, He restores, redeems, and gives us victory through Jesus Christ. From Romans to 1 Corinthians, we’ll see how the gospel changes hearts, defeats sin, and offers lasting hope. If you’ve wondered if God still wants you, this message is for you. And baptism is our response, declaring that Jesus has made us new. Jesus is the only lasting solution to your struggle with sin, fear, and death—and He is ready to change your story. #BaptismWeekend #VictoryInJesus #GodRestores #ConnectionPointeChristianChurch #ComeBackToGod NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

What’s the burden you’ve been carrying? And what if Jesus invited you to trade it for something far better? This weekend, Pastor John unpacks Jesus' invitation from Matthew 11:“Come to me… Take my yoke upon you… Let me teach you.” If you’re feeling worn out, overrun by control, busyness, or expectations, this message is for you. Through 9 steps of spiritual freedom, we’ll explore how to trade the yoke of slavery for the light burden and true rest found in Christ. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about surrendering better. Whether you're weighed down by life or just longing for peace, Jesus offers something better: partnership, purpose, and rest. #YokedToChrist#FreedomInJesus#SpiritualRest#ComeToMe#ConnectionPointeChristianChurch NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

Radiowissen finden Sie auch in der ARD Audiothek: ARD Audiothek | Radiowissen JETZT ENTDECKEN Das vollständige Manuskript gibt es HIER. Lesen Sie einen Ausschnitt aus dem Manuskript: ERZÄHLERIN Endlich, nach beinahe 16 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit ist es soweit. - Jetzt, 1843, ist sie fertiggestellt: Die königliche Hof- und Staatsbibliothek in München.   ZITATOR (Architekturführer) Dieser in den großartigsten Verhältnissen angelegte Bau wurde im italienischen-mittelalterlichen Style ausgeführt. -    ERZÄHLERIN - schreibt ein zeitgenössischer bautechnischer Führer -   ZITATOR (Architekturführer) - In seinen ausgedehnten Räumlichkeiten umschließt das Gebäude die außerordentlich reiche, gegenwärtig 1.300.000 Bände zählende Staatsbibliothek.   MUSIK    1. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) Da denkt man - riesengroß - da müssen alle Bücher der Welt hineinpassen -   ERZÄHLERIN Sagt Egon Greipl, (ehemaliger) oberster Denkmalschützer in Bayern. -   2. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) - und dann geht man hinein und sieht, da ist eine Menge Platz verschenkt worden für eine Treppe und solche repräsentative Sachen.   MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Eine Prachttreppe, die seinerzeit nur der König benutzen durfte. An ihr hat man bis zuletzt gearbeitet. 54 Stufen muss die Majestät überwinden, um aus dem dunklen Eingangsbereich in das Licht, zu den Büchern, zur Wissenschaft zu gelangen. - Obwohl der König in den letzten Jahren meist ein schwieriger Auftraggeber gewesen ist, ständig an den Plänen etwas ändert oder ändern lässt, die Treppe findet selbst der Architekt so schlecht nicht:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Für die Haupttreppe stehe ich gut, das ist die pompöseste die wenigstens in Deutschland existiert. Diese gefällt mir selbst.   MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Und das ist der Baumeister des 152 Meter langen und 24 Meter hohen Monumentalbaus: Friedrich von Gärtner. Die Bibliothek: sein erster Auftrag für König Ludwig I. - Vor 16 Jahren, 1827, ließ Ludwig den gar nicht mehr so jungen Architekten gewähren: Gärtner soll nun endlich sein erstes Gebäude überhaupt bauen. Und dann gleich ein so großes.   3. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ein riesiger Bau. Und die besondere Pointe oder Gemeinheit könnte man auch sagen, liegt darin, dass er diesen Bau an der von Klenze geplanten Ludwigsstraße vorgesehen hat...   ERZÄHLERIN - so Winfried Nerdinger, Architekturhistoriker aus München. - Die Ludwigsstraße, sie ist des Königs Lieblingskind, sie soll seine Prachtmeile werden...     4. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Klenze hat ja diese Straße komplett geplant, das war "seine Straße", er hat den ganzen südlichen Teil bereits mit Neubauten bestückt und jetzt mitten hinein in seine Straße, der größte Bau überhaupt bis dahin, die Staatsbibliothek, da bekommt ausgerechnet sein Konkurrent den Auftrag. Und das war sicherlich für Klenze ein Schlag.   MUSIKAKZENT   ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Leo Klenze, zwei Baumeister in königlichen Diensten - ein Berufsleben lang lauern sie wie Skylla und Charybdis, die beiden Ungeheuer, an der Meerenge von Messina. Und, um im mythologischen Bild zu bleiben, kein königlicher Auftrag soll an ihnen ungeschoren vorbei kommen.   5. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Die waren beide nicht von Pappe, um es mal salopp zu formulieren und haben mit allen Mitteln sich gegenseitig bekämpft und für ihre Karriere gekämpft.   ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist er alt, da wird der junge begabte Nachwuchsarchitekt Friedrich Gärtner Ludwig vorgestellt. Und wer bringt ihn zum Kronprinzen? Der 7 Jahre ältere Klenze. Der, ein protestantischer Preuße, ist schon seit einem Jahr in Diensten des Königshofs.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Dass dieser zum Faktotum geworden ist, ersah ich schon längst, den Grad aber ersah ich da näher.   6. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Als drittes muss man immer noch den König mit einbeziehen, genauer gesagt, den Kronprinzen, der beide letztlich wie Schachfiguren in seinem Spiel benutzt hat.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Ich sah nur zu deutlich, dass einem schlechten Schachspieler leicht eine Figur genommen und die andere dafür hingesetzt werden kann.   MUSIKAKZENT    ERZÄHLERIN Über Gärtners Karriereleiter sind wir Sprosse um Sprosse relativ gut informiert. Denn mehr als 30 Jahre lang schreibt er Briefe, an Martin von Wagner. -    7. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Nun: der Martin von Wagner war eigentlich der Kunsthändler des Kronprinzen in Rom.   ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner ist der Freund von Friedrichs Vater, dem Hofbauintendanten Andreas Gärtner. Und auch wenn die Mutter Bedenken gegenüber Wagner äußert, Friedrich beschwichtigt:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Deine Warnung, gute Muttern über Wagner ist recht gut, allein sei versichert, sie war nicht nötig. So kenne ich meine Leute noch. Wagner ist ein guter, ernsthaft rechtschaffener Mann, allein nie für einen Freund geschaffen.   ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Wagner werden trotzdem Freunde, gute Freunde. Netter Nebeneffekt für Gärtner: Wagner hat einen sehr guten Draht zum Kronprinzen. - Gärtner macht in seinen Briefen aus seinem Herzen keine Mördergrube. Winfried Nerdinger:   8. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ich glaube auch, dass man natürlich mit gewissen Abstrichen diesen Briefwechsel als ziemlich wichtige authentische Aussage nehmen kann, weil er sich da einem Freund geöffnet hat - Wir können da doch relativ tiefe Einblick in das Gefühlsleben Gärtners tun und in das Intrigenspiel bei Hofe.   ERZÄHLERIN Über 100 Mal wird die Post von Gärtner die Zeiten überdauern, die Post von Wagner retour dagegen nicht. - Kennen gelernt haben sich die beiden in Rom. -   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Rom ist nebenbei gesagt der herrlichste Ort, um einem als Mensch die besten Lebensregeln zu erteilen!   MUSIK  ERZÄHLERIN Im Oktober 1814 kommt Gärtner nach Rom. Nach seinem Architekturstudium in München bei Carl von Fischer, nach Lehrjahren in Paris, zieht der 22-Jährige in die deutsche Künstlerkolonie. "Quartiere degli Infedeli", "Viertel der Abtrünnigen", nennen es die Römer, wegen der vielen deutschen Protestanten. Der Katholik Gärtner kennt bald alle Trattorien und Weinstuben rund um seine Wohnung in der Via Sistina, nahe der spanischen Treppe. Jetzt will er wieder lernen, dieses Mal aber das Leben: MUSIK    ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der Durst war groß, der Wein war gut und so wurde allgemeiner Jubel unter der Gesellschaft. Eine Gitarre, die uns begleitete, spielte bald ihren Saltarello, bald ihren Walzer...   ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner nimmt Friedrich in seine Obhut, im Auftrag von Andreas Gärtner, dessen Vater. Er zeigt ihm die mediterrane Lebensart, er bringt ihn in die Kreise der Rom-liebenden deutschen Künstler. Die feiern sich und "ihren" bayerischen Kronprinzen, den Kunstmäzen, am liebsten im Caffè Greco - keine zwei Minuten von der Wohnung Gärtners entfernt. Hier treffen sich auch die Mitglieder eines von Martin von Wagner initiierten Geheimbundes: "Nemesis" heißt er : MUSIK    9. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Diese Künstler haben sich die Nemesianer genannt. - Die Nemesis als ihre Göttin, die dem einzelnen das Geschick zuweist, dem einen das Gute, dem anderen das schlechte. So etwas, was für Künstler ja ganz wichtig ist: Der eine steigt auf, der andere steigt ab...   ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis gibt sich zunächst wankelmütige, was das Schicksal des jungen Friedrich betrifft. Der "Orlando furioso", wie ihn seine Freunde jetzt rufen, genießt zwar in Rom das süße Leben in vollen Zügen, ganz untätig ist er freilich nicht. Er zeichnet etliche antike Ruinen, fährt nach Pompeji und Sizilien, besteigt die Vulkane Italiens. Und er beteiligt sich - auf sanftes Drängen seines Vaters -  am Wettbewerb zum Bau der Münchner Glyptothek. Mit Hilfe seines Vaters, der die Pläne ein wenig korrigiert und nachbessert, wird sein Entwurf vom Preisgericht als der für den Bau geeignetste befunden. Den Auftrag bekommt, allem zu Trotz, wie kann es anders sein, Leo Klenze.    MUSIK    ZITATOR GÄRTNER Thermometer 5 Grad Beaumont - Pluvianopolis am 12ten des 8. Regenmonats 1817 nach Christi Geburt - Parameter (wie gewöhnlich): Regen, Hagel, Wind.   ERZÄHLERIN Gärtner ist nach fast drei Jahren Sommer, Sonne, Kaktus wieder in München. In Pluvianopolis, der Regenstadt. Er schreibt an Wagner nach Rom:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der ewigen Nemesis zum Gruße! Ohne Nachrichten aus Rom bin ich ein geschlagener Mensch. Oh große Nemesis! Was habe ich verschuldet, dass du gerade jetzt mich ins Exil geschickt, wo ich dickes Bier um 12 Uhr saufen muss. MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis meint es tatsächlich nicht gut mit ihm. Nicht nur dickes Bier und saurer Wein schlagen ihm auf den Magen: In München, im Exil, findet er keine adäquate Anstellung, obwohl sein Vater immer noch königlich bayerischer Hofbauintendant ist, also de facto der oberste Baumeister. Und er würde so gerne in dessen Fußstapfen treten.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Es ist traurig, wenn  man mehrere Jahre sich bemüht, um etwas zu lernen und am Ende wieder dort hingestellt ist, von wo man ausgegangen. Seit meiner Zurückkunft sitze ich da und lege die Hände in den Schoß.   ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist Gärtner mittlerweile. Er sehnt sich nach Rom. Hier im kalten Norden, in München: -  "Ein Windloch". Die Mutter stirbt. Er fühlt sich dazu verpflichtet, die Familie finanziell zu unterstützen, lebt aber im Gegenteil vom Geld des Vaters. Und dann auch noch das:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Mit unverändertem Gemüte durchlas ich heute die Entlassung meines alten und würdigen Vaters von seinem treuen Dienste und dessen Erstattung durch Klenze mit einer vermehrten Besoldung von 3000 fl.   10. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Aus den Briefen, die er an seinen Freund Martin von Wagner schrieb, kommt ganz klar heraus, dass diese Verdrängung seines Vaters als Hofbauintend
