Ref.: Sr. Teresa Zukic, Autorin, Weisendorf Freude, die trägt! Schwester Theresa Zukic war schwer krank. Heute ermutigt sie Menschen, sich den Herausforderungen des Lebens mit Zuversicht zu stellen. - und mit einer guten Prise Humor. Schwester Teresa Zukic versprüht pure Lebensfreude - ganz besonders, seit sie dem Tod von der Schippe gesprungen ist. 2020 machte sie ihre schwere Krebserkrankung öffentlich, es sah nicht gut für sie aus. Aber die 60-Jährige überlebte. In der Lebenshilfe ermutigt die dynamische Ordensfrau, sich auch und gerade im Alter den Herausforderungen des Lebens zu stellen und positiv nach vorne zu schauen. Denn Sr. Teresa stellt fest, dass ihre innere Freiheit mit den Jahren sogar zugenommen hat, und verrät auch eines ihrer Geheimnisse: Mit Humor lassen sich Herausforderungen wie Alter und Krankheit, aber auch unsere immer komplexere Welt viel besser meistern.

Ref.: Peter Flache, Kabarettist, Schauspieler und Autor, Müglitztal in der sächsischen Schweiz Peter Flache gehört zu den beliebtesten Kleinkünstlern in Sachsen. Ob als Kabarettist auf der Bühne oder als "Morgenpoet" im Mitteldeutschen Rundfunk: Sein Humor entspringt der sicheren Gewissheit seines katholischen Glaubens. Am Faschingssonntag erzählt Flache uns im Standpunkt, wie er im atheistisch geprägten deutschen Osten zur Kirche fand. Dabei schildert er auch seinen Weg auf die Bühne - und wie er vom armen Schlucker zum Schlossbesitzer wurde.

Ref.: Martin Kugler, Gründer von Kathtreff In zwei Tagen ist Valentinstag. Der Tag der Liebenden gehört zu den Festen mit kirchlichem Ursprung, die von kommerziellen Interessen gekapert wurden. Aber eigentlich steht dahinter eine kluge Erkenntnis: Eine glückliche Beziehung braucht Momente der besonderen Aufmerksamkeit und Zeichen der Wertschätzung. In der Lebenshilfe sammeln wir mit dem Kommunikationsberater Martin Kugler Tipps für die Vorbereitung des Valentinstages. Kugler betont dabei als Gründer des katholischen Portals Kathtreff für Partnersuchende, dass mit diesen Fragen sich auch die beschäftigen sollten, die ihren Partner fürs Leben noch nicht gefunden haben. Am diesjährigen Valentins-Wochenende findet in Zagreb die erste internationale katholische Single-Konferenz statt. Mehr Infos über das Treffen vom 13.-15. Februar 2026 finden Sie unter https://catholicsinglesummit.com/

Ref.: Manuela Bräutigam, Kinderkrankenschwester und Lisa Schmid, Mutter von Linea Wenn ein ungeborenes Kind an einer schweren und unheilbaren Krankheit leidet, dann stehen die Eltern vor einer schweren Entscheidung. Viele Ärzte empfehlen eine Abtreibung, die Tötung des Kindes. Doch es gibt eine Alternative: die palliative Geburt. Dabei steht nicht die Verlängerung der Lebenszeit des Neugeborenen im Vordergrund, sondern die bestmögliche Lebensqualität und das Befinden des Kindes sowie seiner Familie. Egal, ob das Kind nur wenige Augenblicke lebt, noch Wochen oder Monate - oder schon tot geboren wird. Die Kinderkrankenschwester Manuela Bräutigam begleitet Eltern auf diesem Weg, der geprägt ist von Schock, Trauer, Angst und Enttäuschung - aber oft auch von einer besonders innigen Beziehung zu dem scheidenden Kind. Sie ist unser Gast in der Lebenshilfe am Tag der Kinderhospizarbeit, gemeinsam mit Lisa Schmid, deren Tochter Linea wenige Wochen nach der Geburt gestorben ist, Sie und ihr Mann wussten, dass ihr Kind wenig Überlebenschancen haben würde, und dennoch haben sie sich dafür entschieden, die Schwangerschaft weiter zu führen und ihr Kind auf die Welt zu bringen. Heute erzählt sie uns Lineas berührende Geschichte.

Ref.: Daniel Wolff, Digitaltrainer und Autor, Grafrath (bei Fürstenfeldbruck) Kinder und Jugendliche sind zu viel am Handy. Das beklagen Eltern und Fachleute - aber auch die Jugendlichen selbst sind sich dessen bewusst. Das zeigen neue Umfragen. Bei allen Diskussionen um Verbote an Schulen bleibt die Familie der erste Ort für die digitale Erziehung. Doch leider scheitert die Einschränkung der Mediennutzung gerade dort besonders häufig. Die Bildschirme sind halt allzu praktisch, wenn es darum geht, ein Kleinkind ruhig zu stellen oder sich anstrengende Pubertierende vom Hals zu halten... Und meisten wissen die Eltern auch nicht so wirklich, was ihre Kinder am Handy alles so treiben. Der Digitaltrainer Daniel Wolff kennt die digitale Welt von Kindern wie kaum ein anderer - an Schulen und in den Medien zeigt er auf, wie die meisten Kinder sich weitgehend unbeaufsichtigt in den Untiefen des Internets tummeln. In der Lebenshilfe erklärt der Bestsellerautor, wie Eltern wieder die Kontrolle über die Bildschirme ihrer Kinder erlangen können - und warum sie das unbedingt tun sollten.

Ref.: Birgit Schilling, Systemische Supervisorin und Coach, Autorin, Köln Zu den anstehenden Faschingstagen sind Humor und gute Laune geradezu Programm. Aber eine Freude, die auch durch schwere Zeiten trägt, braucht ein tieferes Fundament. Warum in einem Leben mit Gott die Freude so wesentlich ist, darüber sprechen wir in der Lebenshilfe mit Birgit Schilling. Die Kölner Autorin und Supervisorin entlarvt dabei die typischen Freudenräuber und zeigt, wie leicht es eigentlich ist, Freude zu empfinden.

If you wake up when it's still dark, you know how overwhelming it can be to turn on the light. Your eyes may even hurt at first. If you've had this experience, you can understand one of the problems that had to be solved when radar was developed.Basically, radar is made up of two parts. The transmitter sends out a powerful beam of radar waves. But the other part of the radar system is a very sensitive receiver that cannot stand the powerful outgoing signal. One of the major technical problems to be overcome in developing modern radar involved sending out this powerful signal without overwhelming the sensitive receiver. What scientists finally developed was a fast switch that turns the sensitive receiver off every time a radar pulse is sent out.Bats, who have their own sonic radar, had this problem solved from the beginning. They have muscles in their ears that are the receivers for the echoes. These muscles close the ears for split seconds when the bats are sending out their high pitched signals.Without this feature, the bat's navigational system would be useless. How could a bat figure out that it needed this ability and then decide to grow the muscles and related tissue to do the job? When one decides to say that creatures, instead of the Creator, have made themselves, one can end up with some very silly conclusions!Matthew 6:27-29"Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."Prayer: Dear Father; You have made all things well and with the good of the creation in mind. Help me to remember this when I tend to think of Your Word as separated from the realities of everyday life, thereby missing out on so many of the blessings You have prepared for me. In Jesus' Name.

Ref.: Dipl. Theol. Christian Jäger, Rethorik-Berater und Autor von "der Manager aus Nazareth", Recklinghausen Kritik kann verletzen - oder uns wirklich weiterbringen. Das hängt zum einen davon ab, ob wir Kritik gut aufnehmen können, ohne sie reflexartig abzuwehren. Gleichzeitig kommt es aber auch sehr darauf an, wie die Kritik formuliert wurde. In der Lebenshilfe sprechen wir mit dem Theologen und Rethorik-Coach Christian Jäger über die hohe Kunst der konstruktiven Kritik.

The woodpecker's tongue can stretch from three to five times its normal length in order to fish bugs out of trees. You would think that his tongue would have to be rooted in his tail to do that neat trick! This beautiful creation in which we live is not only filled with testimonies to the wisdom of God. It is also filled with special designs that deny the possibility that life in all its complexity developed entirely by chance.Consider the woodpecker. Incredibly, the woodpecker's tongue is rooted in his right nostril. Exiting the back of the nostril, his tongue spits into two parts, wrapping around his head between his skull and the skin, passing on either side of the neck bones, and then coming up through his lower jaw or beak. This gives the woodpecker a long enough tongue to stretch it out far enough to do an effective job of pest control on bug-infested trees!Now, how could this happen by blind evolutionary chance? Even evolutionists admit that it's silly to suggest that the woodpecker's tongue gradually got longer over thousands of year and began to grow under his skin. As one evolutionary scientist said about the woodpecker's tongue, "There are certain anatomical features which just cannot be explained by gradual mutations over millions of years. Just between you and me, I have to get God into the act too sometimes."Why wait to call on God as a last resort? Let's begin with our wonderful Creator!Deuteronomy 4:28"'And there you will serve gods, the work of men's hand, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.'"Prayer: Dear heavenly Father; through the instruction of Your Word and the guidance of Your Spirit, help me to be different from those around me who think that the creation itself made them.

Ref.: Andreas Braun, Logotherapeut, Buchholz in der Nordheide Manchmal verhalten wir uns Gott gegenüber wie kleine Kinder, die sich vor der Arbeit drücken.

People sometimes wonder why, with all the marvels science can design and build, it cannot build a good replacement for the heart. As medical science learns more about the heart, it becomes clear that replacing this complex mass of muscles is more difficult than might be imagined.Your heart is about the size of your fist, really surprisingly small for the job it does. The heart is a pump with valves, tubing and an electrical system. Its four chambers are carefully designed to make sure that used blood goes to your lungs for oxygen and that blood from your lungs takes that oxygen to the rest of your body. In order to do this, your heart must pump 2,000 gallons of blood through more than 60,000 miles of soft tubing every day.But the heart is much more than a pump. Researchers describe it as "an incredibly intelligent organ." The heart is smarter than we are. When you need more circulation, it senses this and speeds its pumping action. It doesn't matter whether the need for more pumping action comes from increased exercise, or something you thought about that might require more heart action, the heart responds. Even when transplanted, the heart is able to respond to its new environment.Like everything else God has created, the heart is not a simple organ, limited to only one job. The heart is custom-designed to do many jobs well. And to this day doctors cannot tell you why one apparently healthy heart stops beating and another does not. Life itself is more than an organ; it is a gift from our Creator to each of us.Hebrews 2:10"For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings."Prayer: Dear Father in heaven; I thank You for the gift of life. Take my life and let it be consecrated to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF.: Huyghe, Patrick. Your heart: a survival guide. Science Digest.

Most of us have heard recordings of whales singing. Scientists have not yet learned to understand the whale's language, but they have identified individual verses in whale song. Now they are more convinced than ever that whale song is a sophisticated language.Whale song is made up of complex and stylized compositions, many of them longer than the longest of human symphonies. A single whale song can last up to 22 hours! Scientists have learned that humpback whale songs change a lot from year to year. Yet each humpback in an entire ocean will always sing the same song as the others. Scientists wondered how whales could keep the verses straight since the song changes so often.Researchers have concluded that whales, like human beings, use rhyme to help remember their songs. Biologists studying whale song report that they have identified the same subphrases turning up in the same positions in verses that are next to each other. Whales apparently compose their long songs with rhymes, making them possibly the greatest poets on earth!Evolutionists tell us that language is such an advanced development that even the first human beings could do no more than grunt and growl. And yet the whale not only has a sophisticated language but also creates poetry. Christians can comfortably put evolution aside to realize that the Bible is right when it says that the whole creation praises God. And whales make it very clear that the Creator Himself is the author of language—not some caveman.Psalm 148:7"Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths."Prayer: Dear Lord; one of Your greatest gifts to us is language because through it we learn of Your love for us in sending Your son Jesus Christ to save us from sin, death and the devil. With that in mind, help me to be a good steward of the gift of language in praise and witness to You. Amen.REF.: Science Frontiers. Newsweek.

Inside your body, there is a large and amazing family of chemical workers who, although they usually last less than a minute, make life possible. There are so many different kinds of these chemicals, called prostaglandins, that science is just beginning to learn how important they are to life.Prostaglandins are made by just about every tissue in your body. They are made by tissue cells from stored fatty acids. When triggered, fatty acids swarm out of the cell walls and are quickly changed into the necessary prostaglandin. Prostaglandins are involved in regulating reproduction, breathing and circulation, among other things.Prostaglandins made by the cells lining our blood vessels relax the muscles around them so that more blood can flow through them. And blood platelets also produce another prostaglandin; when triggered, it enables the blood to clot and seal wounds. In the lungs, prostaglandins regulate the openings of air passages. They help protect the inside of your stomach. It is because aspirin inhibits prostaglandin production that it helps headaches and can cause stomach problems in some people. Prostaglandins have been implicated in the swollen, painful joints caused by arthritis.The human body is literally a symphony of thousands of carefully designed systems, each one playing in harmony with the other and all of them working together. This fact alone leaves no justification for the claim that we are designed by genetic accidents.I Corinthians 12:18"But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased."Prayer: Lord, I thank You that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I understand that it is because of sin that sometimes our systems do not work as You designed them. According to Your will, grant me healing in those cases, but let me always be aware of Your love and presence in my life. Amen.REF.: Shodell, Michael. The prostaglandin connection. Science 83.

Some Christians believe that God's words in Genesis 1:3, "Let there be light," . . are a biblical description of the Big Bang that some scientists say created the universe. But perhaps we Christians should be a little more careful about assuming that modern science knows very much about the origin of the universe.Astronomers recently announced that they had discovered the largest structure yet to be found in the universe. They described the structure as a great wall made up of high concentrations of galaxies. Just to get our perspective, the average galaxy contains over 1 billion stars. The great wall contains concentrated "clumps" of galaxies!This discovery delivers two apparently fatal blows to the Big Bang theory. If the universe was the result of the Big Bang, scientists would expect to find stars evenly distributed in space, not "clumped" together and certainly not built into giant structures. Second, the clumps of galaxies they found are very precisely and evenly spaced—not the kind of order that results from an explosion. One of the researchers said, "It is safe to say that we understand less than zero about the early universe."There is another good reason for Christians not to try to find the Big Bang in Genesis. According to the Bible, it is the end of the world and the universe, not its beginning, that could more accurately be described as a "big bang." Christ Himself has completed your preparations for that day. Are you ready?Isaiah 34:4"All the hosts of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; all their host shall fall down as the leaf falls from the vine, and as fruit falling from a fig tree."Prayer: Dear Lord; I cling to Your saving work for my preparation for the end of the world. Be with me now and prepare me to spend eternity with You. Amen.REF.: Galaxy clumps' may shed light on cosmic creation. Minneapolis Star Tribune.

In this episode of Stop the Killing Podcast, former FBI agent and prosecutor Katherine Schweit breaks down the fatal shooting of Renee Goode, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. Rather than reacting to headlines or social media outrage, this episode focuses on one question only: Did the officer's actions meet the legal standard for the use of deadly force? Drawing on Department of Justice policy, Supreme Court case law, and her own experience investigating officer-involved shootings, Schweit explains: What “objectively reasonable” force actually means When officers are legally prohibited from shooting at moving vehicles Why anger, frustration, or refusal to comply do not justify deadly force How federal investigations differ when the shooter is a federal agent What investigators will be required to evaluate — regardless of politics This episode does not reach a verdict.It explains the rules — so listeners can understand how this case will be judged. DOJ and DHS deadly force policy Shooting into a vehicle: what the law allows and forbids Federal vs state investigations in officer-involved shootings Why “escape” alone can never justify deadly force What video evidence can — and cannot — tell us This case has ignited protests and intense public debate.Understanding the actual legal standard is essential — especially when emotions are high and facts are still emerging.

On Creation Moments, we often challenge evolution with examples that show that the creation is carefully and lovingly designed by the Creator. Many of these evidences leave evolutionists silent and unable to respond. But one evidence for design is so powerful, it almost seems unfair for creationists to mention it. Yet they do, as in one release from scientists at the Institute for Creation Research.While the brain weighs only three pounds, it can do the work of 1,000 supercomputers. It doesn't need to be connected to a power source and it doesn't overheat because it is able to make its own electricity and it operates on only microvolts of power. If your brain's 10 trillion cells were placed end to end, they would stretch for over 100,000 miles. Your brain has the capacity to store every word of every book on a bookshelf 500 miles long.In order for the human brain to have evolved from a simpler brain in the time that evolutionists claim it has, the brain would have had to evolve millions of new cells every year for millions of years. A.R. Wallace, co-discoverer with Charles Darwin of natural selection, once noted that there is a huge gulf between the human brain and that of the ape. Darwin recognized what Wallace's argument did to their theory and responded, "I hope you have not murdered completely your own and my child."God has given you a brain that has wonderful abilities. Don't waste one of the greatest material gifts the Creator has given you.Psalm 40:5"Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts which are toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered."Prayer: Forgive me Father, for underestimating the great gift which You have given me—my brain. Grant me Your Holy Spirit so that I may begin and continue all learning and wisdom in You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF.: DeYoung, Don, and Richard Bliss. Thinking about the brain. ICR Impact.
