In deze aflevering ga ik in gesprek met Margriet Wentink, die haar inzichten deelt over resonantieprocessen, dieptepsychologie en haar expertise in traumawerk. We bespreken het belang van persoonlijke verantwoordelijkheid, de kracht van zelfreflectie, en hoe resonantie je kan helpen om nieuwe lagen van je innerlijke wereld te ontdekken. En last but not least... hoe het verbinden met jezelf je zowel persoonlijk als professioneel kan verrijken.

It's a wrap! Met deze prachtige laatste song ronden we dit bijzondere project af. "Er komt een dag dat het licht het van het duister wint. Er komt een dag dat er geen pijn meer is, geen lijden, geen ziekte. Een dag dat alle tranen gedroogd zullen worden. Deze song wat 'The Sky' heet heb ik gemaakt als hoop voor wat komen gaat. Ik wilde mijzelf daar ook aan herinneren en daarom heb ik dit lied gemaakt. 34 regels en allemaal beginnen ze met One Day". aldus Rokus. Is hoop uitgestelde teleurstelling? Is het eeuwige leven hier en nu al begonnen? Komt mijn gebed altijd aan bij God, ook al ervaar ik dat niet zo? En hoe werkt geloof, hoop en liefde ten diepste in je relatie? Allemaal vragen die voorbij komen in deze laatste ontmoeting. En als bonus zingt Rokus, aan het einde van deze aflevering, deze song live ter afsluiting van deze serie. Wauw, dit wil je zien!

Ken je het lied 'Al die jaren' van Elly en Rikkert? Dan kan je misschien nu voor het eerst de link leggen naar de gelijknamige song van The Bowery 'All Those Years'. Want deze song van Rokus Maasland is enorm geïnspireerd op dit juweeltje van toen. Tijdens het schrijven van deze song besloot Rokus het verhaal van 'Al die jaren' eens op zijn eigen leven met zijn vrouw Caroline te leggen. Terugdenkend aan al die vele herinneringen waarin het leven hun toelachte. Totdat het kaartenhuis goed in elkaar donderde, omdat de beste vriend van Rokus overleed. Hij was toen 16 jaar oud.. Niets meer begrijpende van de wereld. En al helemaal niet van de Schepper daarvan...

Jaap: "Deze song is toch wel de reden dat we dit project gemaakt hebben!" Dus beste mensen, we hebben hier te maken met niet zomaar een plaat. Bij Jaap en Ewout is dit juweeltje zelfs de motivatie motor geweest om dit prachtige project handen en voeten te geven. Een song met een gelaagdheid van jewelste in combinatie met heerlijke sound! Het verhaal van de song gaat over Rokus zijn dochter. In een tijd waarbij zijn dochter in een ingewikkelde fase zat en Rokus samen met zijn vrouw zocht naar hoe haar te helpen. Je probeert, je doet en komt tekort. Totdat er via bijzondere hulp, met een nieuw gelukspoppetje voor zijn dochter, dit onverwachts leidde tot herstel van moeilijke gevoelens en gedachten. Namelijk door brieven te schrijven aan dit poppetje, genaamd: Simon.

Gast: Rokus Hofstede, literair vertaler. Robert van Altena spreekt met Rokus Hofstede over de schilderslevens van de Franse schrijver Pierre Michon.* "Waarom zou je personages moeten verzinnen? Er zijn zoveel mensen die zijn gestorven die wachten op wederopstanding, die wachten op een levensbeschrijving." Rokus Hofstede: “Namen opduiken uit het archief, met een geboortedatum en een sterfdatum en daar dan een leven bij verzinnen dat is heel kort gezegd wel de werkwijze van Michon. Hij zegt ook: Waarom zou je personages moeten verzinnen? Er zijn zoveel mensen die zijn gestorven die wachten op wederopstanding, die wachten op een levensbeschrijving. Hij noemt dan zelfs het beroemde scheermes van Ockham: Je moet het aantal entiteiten niet nodeloos vermeerderen. Dat is natuurlijk een soort boutade maar hij zegt al die mensen die anoniem en vergeefs gestorven zijn, zij wachten misschien op een verhaal, zij wachten er misschien op dat hun verhaal wordt verteld. Dus hij heeft een soort mededogen voor de naamlozen uit de geschiedenis. Met die blik kijkt hij ook naar de beroemde namen, de halfgoden, de heiligen, de kunstenaars die vaak gemythologiseerd worden tot halfgoden en heiligen, en hij ziet hen ook als de naamlozen die ze ooit waren of die ze hadden kunnen blijven als het anders was gelopen, als ze niet boven zichzelf waren uitgegroeid in hun werk.” Pierre Michon schreef novelles over een herdersjongen die knecht wordt van Claude Lorrain — 'De koning van het woud'. Over een jonge nog onbekende Francesco Goya die 'in mei van het jaar 1778 […] keek naar wat hij nooit zou kunnen schilderen en wat hij om die reden voortaan schilderen moest' — 'God voleindigt niet'. Over een vermeend historisch meesterwerk van de schilder François Élie Corentin. Lezers van Michon zochten in het Louvre tevergeefs naar het schilderij, ze kenden het echter al in zijn enige gedaante, de schildering in woorden van Michon  —'De Elf'. Over Joseph Roulin alias 'de postbode', een geliefd model van Vincent van Gogh — 'Leven van Joseph Roulin'. Over de schilder Jean Antoine Watteau, waarin vleselijke lust als bron van scheppingskracht van de kunstenaar wordt gepresenteerd. De schilder zet,  in de verbeelding van Michon, zijn seksuele uitspattingen om in een pornografisch œuvre, een œuvre dat vernietigd wordt, wellicht vernietigd moet worden om parallel te blijven lopen met het leven van de schilder —'Vermaken wil ik mij'. En tot slot over Lorentino d'Angelo een leerling van Piero della Francesca. Lorentino die anders dan Corentin werkelijk heeft bestaan, een bestaan waarvan we op de hoogte zijn omdat Giorgio Vasari hem een plek geeft in zijn levensbeschrijving van Piero, niet om zijnentwil maar als teken. Piero verhoudt zich in die beschrijving tot Lorentino als het gekleurd object in een schilderij dat in de schaduwpartijen zijn complementair bij zich draagt. Michon licht Lorentino voor even liefdevol op uit die schaduw in —'Heb vertrouwen in dit teken'. *DEZE ZOMER WEKELIJKS EEN KEUZE UIT HET SPRINGVOSSEN ARCHIEF. DIT GESPREK WERD VOOR HET EERST UITGEZONDEN OP 7 OKTOBER 2019. De schilderslevens van Pierre Michon in de vertalingen van Rokus Hofstede zijn verschenen in : * Pierre Michon, 'De koning van het woud' (Perlouses, 2002) **Pierre Michon, 'Meesters en knechten. Het leven van Joseph Roulin' (Van Oorschot, 1996) ***Pierre Michon, 'De elf' (Van Oorschot, 2011) SPRINGVOSSEN

Cuplikan tadi adalah aksi Korps Speciale Troepen atau KST, sebuah unit pasukan khusus Tentara Kerajaan Hindia Belanda atau KNIL yang dibentuk untuk melawan kaum revolusioner selama masa Revolusi Nasional Indonesia. Menariknya nih, terdapat dua perwira KST yang kisah dan reputasinya bagai bumi dan langit, terutama dari perspektif Indonesia. Mereka adalah Raymond Pierre Paul Westerling serta Rodes Barendrecht "Rokus" Visser a.k.a Idjon Djanbi. Yap, Westerling jadi sosok yang meninggalkan luka sejarah mendalam bagi rakyat Indonesia. Namanya bahkan diabadikan sebagai peristiwa pembantaian ribuan rakyat sipil di Sulawesi Selatan di tahun 1946 hingga 1947. Di sisi lain, garis tangan membawa Idjon Djanbi bergabung dengan TNI dan membantu merintis pasukan komando yang menjadi cikal bakal Kopassus. Bahkan, Idjon Djanbi berhasil memimpin dan membentuk para serdadu TNI yang mampu menjinakkan bekas pasukan Westerling. Lalu, seperti apa kisah dari Westerling dan Idjon Djanbi? Well, get your coffee and let's get it started!

Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. So excited to be with you. I, as always am your host, Nick Clason, along for the ride. And in today's episode, I want to talk about this dude, my kids are obsessed with YouTube. What does this mean for the future? That's what we have on store. So make sure that you stick around. We're gonna talk about Generation Alpha, we're gonna talk about what's unique about YouTube, what I've found through a little bit of research and as well as just give some, as I've done before, some stream of consciousness kind of thoughts. This is what some implications might be for you and for your church moving forward, and how you can rethink the way, potentially the way that you do ministry or the way that you supplement what you do for ministry. Don't want you to forget that we are on YouTube. Nick Clason (00:52): And today I'm going to share a couple of exclusive graphics on the screen, so make sure that you head over there if that's something that you're interested in. Um, you can subscribe to that in the show notes, subscribe like the video. All those things will help. A rating or a review of the show, maybe even a share with a friend. All of that stuff really, really helps us get indexed gets found. And I just wanna say thank you. Like we have had, the last three or four months have been our biggest months by far, by like combined with almost all the other months before that. So we are well on our way to a thousand downloads. So pumped about that, we are almost up to 200 subscribers on YouTube. And so, again, very excited about that. Thank you guys for hanging out. I also want to toss this out there. Nick Clason (01:34): If you're listening, head to the show notes, http://www.hybridministry.xyz, and I'm gonna leave a link for the Q and for a q and a section. If you have questions that you want answered on this show, send them in. What are you grappling with? What are you wrestling through and how can we help be of any sort of assistant answering some of those and just giving some ideas and thoughts about. Again, uh, if you don't know my story, I am a youth pastor, Nick Clason in the trenches at a church in Dallas Fort Worth area. I am doing all the things. I am running the programs. We got Wednesday nights, we got Sunday mornings, and I am also someone who's just passionate about digital and hybrid ministry. Not because I want to forsake the gathering together, but because I want to add supplemental opportunities for you and me and us as a church to show up in the lives of our people, in my case, my students, in potentially your case, your congregation members' lives. Nick Clason (02:26): And so that's the whole mission and desire behind what we're doing here at this show. And so that's what we're gonna be exploring is different social media platforms, church marketing tips, digital communication opportunities, church, social media, and church growth ideas, especially talking about younger generations like Generation Z and Generation Alpha. And so that's in particular what this episode is going to be aimed at is this I idea and this realization that I'm coming to with Generation Alpha. If you don't know Jen Alpha is the, um, most, uh, they are the youngest kids in our student ministry age right now, sixth, seventh, eighth grade. Um, and so we're gonna dive into that a little bit more. Again, so thrilled to have you along in the show. I just wanna let you know one last thing before we dive into the actual content free ebook link in the show notes. Nick Clason (03:20): It will help you and give you your guide from posting a TikTok from zero all the way to finished. Again, thanks so much for hanging out on this, uh, show and let's dive into, dude, my kids are obsessed with you two. What does this mean for the church? First, we're gonna talk about Jen Alpha, so let's go ahead and do that on the other side. All right, so generation alpha, the the oldest generation Alpha was born in 2010. So a little bit of Lucy Goose goosey math that makes them 13 years old. That is what I often do for, um, like age like that. All right, so like someone's 13 years old. I always, if you subtract five, you'll know what grade they're in. That's a little pro tip youth pastor tip that I use. So 13 minus five equals eight. That means that the, uh, oldest Gen Z is eighth grade. Nick Clason (04:12): That means that seventh and sixth grade. So our entire middle school ministry is Gen Alpha. I might have said Gen Z, but I mean Gen Alpha, generation Alpha is basically our entire middle school ministry. So youth pastors, if, if you're a youth pastor like I am, you've been trying to crack the code of Gen Z. Gen Z is high school and in about four years, they're done. We're not worried about Gen Z anymore in student ministry, or we shouldn't be. And you know, some churches are just now grappling with the idea of reaching millennials, bro, millennials are in their forties now. Like I am a millennial. I am 33 years old, I'll be 34 in a couple of months. I am dead in the middle of my working life. I have children and my children are not Gen Z. My children are gen alpha. Um, so 2010 is the bracket. Nick Clason (04:58): So I have two kids, they're born in 2016 and then 2018. So they're square in that Gen alpha range. So a couple of things that are unique about them. 2010, keep in mind about this, right, 2010, for those of you listening, those of you older was the year that the ipo, the iPad was introduced. You might remember that. I remember when I was in college and the iPad was introduced, and when the iPad came out, I thought to myself, wow, who is even gonna use that? That's just an over-inflated iPhone. It doesn't even do anything for you. Now let me ask you this. How many iPads in your life have you owned me? 3, 4, 5, maybe at this point, right? Like at the time it was an ex exorbitant price tag. And I remember when it came out, we all in college, I was in college, all my friends were like, we're not ever gonna get the iPad. Nick Clason (05:47): That's ridiculous. I can do all the same things on my iPhone and carry it around in my pocket. Doesn't even have data then if they did introduce one with data. But I had this really cool opportunity, did an internship one summer in Connecticut, and me and the guy that I was staying with, my host family, we were chatting up one day about the iPad and its functionality. And he worked in Times Square. So I was in Connecticut and he, he commuted down the train an hour into Times Square, worked at a bank in Times Square. And so he had the iPad as a thing to do on the train so that he could work and commute, respond to emails, all those types of things. He got the plan with data, so we're talking about it, whatever. And I get ready to leave after my 10 weeks of staying at their house needing all their food. Nick Clason (06:28): And uh, they give me a going away gift of an iPad, like a brand new iPad. And so I walk into school the next year as almost the only kid in the entire, like sophomore class or junior class, whatever class I was in that had an iPad. In fact, all my friends made fun of me because they, they talked about how like, uh, bougie or how like, um, over the top I was for actually owning an iPad. And there was this hashtag that would go around, it's like hashtag Nick has an iPad. Like it, it was a joke. But my point in saying that is remember when the iPad came out, how long ago that was, how or how recent that might feel to you. That was the same year that the oldest group of generation Alpha kids were born back then when the iPad was created. Nick Clason (07:16): So hopefully that gives you just a little bit of context, a little bit of frame of reference timeline wise about when they were born, when that shift from Gen Z switched over to Generation Alpha. And so my kids, my personal kids are squarely in that Generation Alpha category and they are obsessed with YouTube. And so much so that our Disney plus our Netflix, all those things are not as important as our YouTube premium subscription that we just signed up for. In fact, I'm viewing YouTube Premium as one of my streaming services in my house. And quite frankly, the reason for that is my kids prefer to watch people like Ryan's World or Dude Perfect. Or, um, what's the one Rainbow Friends like on YouTube? So much so that I was like, I wanna get a, um, premium so that I can keep them away from commercials. Nick Clason (08:07): And in one hand, yes, Jen Alpha has a much lower tolerance for commercials than you and I might do, uh, or you and I might have as people who've grown up with traditional broadcast tv, but also like, bro, I'm letting them loose on YouTube. Like I, I want to at least, and I'm in the age with them still where they'll listen to me. They won't be defiant intentionally or disobey intentionally. So they'll watch what I tell them. They're allowed to watch shows that I'm okay with them watching, but I had no control over the ads. And so I bought premium to control the ads. I e get rid of the ads and it's a nice little feature. Um, I, I like it for my phone and stuff like that as well, cuz it's my, my account and then their, so their subsidiary kids' accounts, but they are obsessed with it. Nick Clason (08:51): And so I was, I was just, you know, fighting them again. They're like, Hey, I wanna be on YouTube, I wanna watch you on YouTube. And I'm like, all right, whatever. That's fine. And they're just watching our tv, you know, they don't even really watch it on like their phones or tab, they don't even have phones or, or devices really, but they'll watch it on just like our Smart TVs, our Rokus. And I was like, why are they so obsessed with YouTube? Like what gives, like, why is the deal? And so I just, I wanted to explore that and that's what I wanted to explore in this podcast episode. So let's dive into the next section, which I'm titling, what did the Google machine have to say about this? Let's check it out. Nick Clason (09:26): All right. Like any good millennial parent, I did what we've all done before, right? And I had this idea, and so I asked Google, Google, why do my kids like YouTube so much more than any other shows? And here's what, um, the first result spit out, it said, YouTube allows kids to explore their interest on a whim deeply, easily. And with great entertainment from week to week. Kids can go from, uh, routinely watching videos about plant-based diets to learning a new language. And so basically what I was saying is like that YouTube has just a vast array, a vast library of ideas to allow people to kind of explore. And that's one of the things, especially with Gen Z, I think we started to see that shift. I think that's gonna be even just as true, maybe even more true of generation alpha in the land of they get to tailor make their experience. Nick Clason (10:17): And I think that that right there is going to be a massive shift for churches. I don't think that we should compromise on our standards or our, the truth of the gospel or the truth of the message of Jesus and the fact that he redeems us from our sins and gives us an opportunity to have salvation found in him. But we oftentimes equate that truth of the gospel, that truth of Jesus with, uh, like, like church has to look this way. And if you're not coming to church every single week in person for 52 weeks a year listening to a pastor's sermon first and above all, and then maybe secondarily and ancillary finding community. But first you gotta make sure you go to that worship service. I mean, it's a very fun prolific approach. Uh, we've, we've all learned that marketing the concentric circles Rick Warren. Nick Clason (11:07): And I don't know that that like funnel approach is, or that like large groom gr large room gathering experience is the top of the funnel anymore. I think the top of the funnel is what I'm trying to, to propose to all of you digital and hybrid options and digital and hybrid ministry. And then if someone is interested in custom making their experience, they may not find, I'll just be honest with you, like, and don't crucify me for this, but like, I would rather listen to my pastor sermon o on a run or on my way to work than sit and listen for an hour just to a talking head. Like, I love my pastor, but like I can put it on 1.5 speed. I can get just about all the same experiences out of it. There's really no, and for me, I, I'm always, almost always late cuz I'm, I'm working on something ahead of time cuz my job is to work at church and I'm leaving early cuz I have to get to something else to run something else. Nick Clason (12:02): I'm not talking to almost like a single soul in the auditorium. Like the one element that I really can't get is live praise and worship. That is the one thing that I, I don't think like Spotify or something else digital can replace. That being said, like I do really want that connection, that community. Like that's really important to me. And, and I would almost argue, especially for our younger and next generations, like they want that real authentic like opportunity for connection and community. They want that more than they want a large group gathering auditorium. So I say that to say we have the message of the gospel, but we've equated the, the why or the mission and we've tied it very tightly to our method. And we've said the mission and the method are one and the same. And if you don't love coming to church at eight 30 to listen to a sermon, you don't love Jesus. Nick Clason (12:57): And while again, I think that there are benefits of that, and I think that that's like in a lot of churches, that's the way things are done. And I think that that's not a bad thing necessarily. I do think that in this like create your own experience world, how are we gonna reach people that can literally get on YouTube and watch whatever they want, yet we say, but you gotta do it this way over here. Like how much longer is that experience going to last? And so continuing on YouTube is the second largest search platform in the world, like right behind Google and it's owned by Google. So not only is it the second largest, and it's like, it's not like it's trying to compete with the first one, right? The first one powers the second largest search engine in the world. Some people say it's the third largest. Nick Clason (13:43): And and they would put Google images in between. Again, all three top three owned by Google. 400 hours of content is uploaded to YouTube. Every get this, every minute, 400 hours of content is uploaded to YouTube every single minute of every single day. That is bonkers to me. 1 million, or I'm sorry, excuse me, not million with an m, billion with a b, 1 billion hours of content are watched on YouTube every single day. Crazy. All right, this is from an article. Um, I got a couple different articles that I use to, to get some of these stats from. I'll drop those in the show notes. Um, so check those out. But television viewing figures from across Europe, this is a European art article, are in decline. Children and young adults now watch a third less broadcast television than they did in 2010. So like I said, that graph is up here on the screen if you're watching on YouTube. Nick Clason (14:41): If not, head on over to the show notes and you can check that out. But what I want you to know is that there, that YouTube is changing the game in television and I'm wondering what implications might be for church. So let's dive into some potential church implications on how generation alpha and generation Z consumption of YouTube might be changing things for the church in 2023 and moving beyond. All right, so what are our church implications? What does YouTube and the rise of it have as far as churches are concerned? What are the implications? I mean, here's the thing about churches, right? Like church is a social entity in a lot of ways. And like I know we're like, no, no, no, it's about Jesus and it's about relationship with him and it's not religion, it's relationship, all those things. That's fine. But at the, at the core of the day, like at the end of what we're talking about here, like when people feel connected to a church, it's because they feel connected to the belief system, probably, hopefully first and foremost, but then secondarily the community that they've found there. Nick Clason (15:39): And so if students, people, kids, parents, adults, anyone are not connected to the rest of the people, the rest of the larger organization of the church, they're not gonna stay in the church. And so the reality about this, this is very simple, this is very basic. I'm not trying to say anything honestly, really profound to be a part of a church. You're either a part of it or you're not a part of it. Like that's it, right? There's really only two options. You either feel a part of it or you don't feel a part of it. And there's all sorts of in between about people who maybe feel in the margins are trying to get a part of it, can't get a part of it, are not really trying to get a part of it, and are not really connected. But other people maybe like their parents are super connected. Nick Clason (16:16): There's all sorts of stuff in between. But at the end of the day, you either feel connected or you don't feel connected, okay? And like I said, there may be some gray, some nuance in there, but if you're not feeling connected, the reality is this, is that, is that your like tie to your church, your interest in your church is not gonna be that elevated based off of what we typically offer. And so how are we going to find ways, find inroads into our people's lives, potentially through YouTube? Uh, I said this a while back, 70, I think three or 79% of, um, people have at one point in time watched some sort of explainer how to video on YouTube. That's a great spot for churches to just start. How to read your bible, how to find accountability, how to pray short form, long form, long form clipped into short form. Nick Clason (17:07): There's all kinds of opportunities there. And you're probably thinking, I don't have time for this. I get it. That is where like there has to be a, a vision and a mission like fueling behind this idea. Like we are going all in on this because this matters to generation Z and generation Alpha and the younger people in our church. It may not be the biggest like priority for your top givers and donors in their forties, fifties, and sixties, but it matters to the younger generation. So how can we do that? Recently I was talking to a church and the funniest part about this is that, um, we had met where we had a planned meeting on the calendar with two youth pastors from another church in town. And they walked in as me and my boss and my other coworker associate were all, um, filming a TikTok video. Nick Clason (17:57): And it was one of those tos where it was like, do you know it or do you not know it? And the the theme was high school musical songs, and if you knew it, you went to one side of the, the frame on the camera, and if you didn't, you went to the other and they walked in on us doing that. Uh, but of course that led to a conversation like, what, what were you guys doing? How often do you post a TikTok? What's your philosophy and strategy behind it? But they told us that they were a youth ministry with 800 kids coming at one point in time and they don't have those numbers anymore. And so we like, that got me thinking like, again, the 800 kids that were a part of the church back in the day, why are kids less and less interested in church? Nick Clason (18:35): And I think it's because there's more and more opportunity out there for them. And a lot of times our response to that is, well then we need to get kids off phones. We need to get kids off social media and get them back in church. And that could work, like, that could modify their behavior to make that happen. Um, but are they really there? Is their heart really in it at that point? Um, and the then the question I thought of was like, well then what was the commitment level of the 800 back in the day? Was it just the best, most poppin social gathering to come to? Or was it, um, they felt forced, they felt expected, they had not as much, you know, distraction opportunity as they do now. And so maybe the, the quality of those 800 though, the quantity was there, the quality wasn't maybe now same thing. Nick Clason (19:26): The quality is there and the quantity is not. How do you raise, how do you raise both? And I think one way that you can raise both is to lean into this hybrid ministry. How can you on YouTube with 400 hours uploaded every minute with 1 billion, um, what was it? 1 billion, 1 billion hours of content watched every single day with 1 billion hours of content watched every single day. How can you lean into that, um, as a church and show up where it matters most in people's everyday lives? What matters most is not showing up on YouTube. I want to be clear, but what matters most is showing up in people's lives on a regular and consistent basis and maybe in the unexpected zones, i e not just the times you're expected to show up Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. Well, hey everyone, thanks so much for hanging out on this episode. Nick Clason (20:19): I hope that just this kind of brain dump thought process, like live reaction to me exploring why in the world do my kids like YouTube so much? What does it mean for our churches helped? I still don't really know the actual why. I think it just gives them like their own control, their own algorithm selection. The algorithm shows them more and more of what they wanna watch and I think that they enjoy that. You know, um, some of the other streaming platforms are trying to sort of adapt that sort of algorithm ai thought process into what they're doing. I mean, so the reality is like they're still losing right to YouTube, like they're still losing to YouTube. And so, um, I just think that that trend is worth noticing. And uh, one of the reasons I notice it is, is threefold. One, I'm, I'm the church communication guy in our student ministry. Nick Clason (21:04): Two, I'm a youth pastor, so I interact with generation Alpha on a regular basis. Three, I'm the dad of generation alpha kids, like little, little kids, um, who are going to shape the future generations. And so those three things I'm noticing, and I hope that in immunos in them you find that advantageous and useful for your church to not grow outdated and stale, but to continue to grow young and and relevant to the students, kids and younger people in your congregations. Again, thanks so much for hanging out. Hey, I do wanna give you an update In episode 48, I talked about a shift in my content, what I'm doing now, and I did recently notice an uptick in my engagement and my views by focusing more on, on quality overt quantity. Um, and so again, I said in that episode it came down to just a margin or just like a capacity issue. Nick Clason (21:54): Um, and so the fact is, I have noticed that going up, going up and I did talk several episodes back about a posting service kind of tanking my YouTube shorts views, my YouTube shorts views have finally bounced back. And I'm so grateful for it and I think it's because I, I fed it more quality content that people would hopefully interact with and engage with more frequently. So I just wanted to give you that update. I've always told you I'm gonna keep it real with y'all here. And so that's just me trying to do that. Hey again, thanks so much for hanging out and uh, we will talk next time and don't forget, and as always, stay hybrid.

**WAARSCHUWING** Bij het beluisteren van deze aflevering heeft u grote kans op het voelen van plaatsvervangende schaamte. Deze aflevering (15) heeft even iets langer op zich laten wachten, maar hier is hij dan! Een gloednieuwe 4 Meter Sessie met een bekend christengezicht die in de muziekwereld zich allang heeft bewezen. Het is namelijk niemand minder dan gitaarvirtuoos Arend Jansen! Arend werd in het bijzonder aanbevolen door 2 van zijn goede vrienden Rokus Maasland en Kees Kraayenoord die al eerder bij ons te gast waren. Arend zou namelijk een perfect persoon zijn voor ons format. Openhartig, zwarte humor, praten als brugman, diepgang en al veel meegemaakt in zijn leven. Arend zei dan ook meteen ja op onze uitnodiging. En wat een mooie podcast is dit weer geworden. Met tranentrekkende verhalen en tegelijkertijd grensoverschrijdende grappen. Een echte 4 Meter Sessie dus. Bij Arend is het niet zo moeilijk om zijn maskers te ontmaskeren, áls hij ze al heeft. Want voor ons is hij het type 'what you see is what you get'. Rokus en Kees hebben niks teveel gezegd. Geniet van deze rollercoaster ride! Jaap & Ewout

Voor deze aflevering van de serie De componistenkamer ging Melchior Huurdeman op bezoek bij Rokus de Groot. Hij werd in 1947 in het Gelderse Aalst geboren in een streng gelovig gezin. Zingen in de huiskamer en orgelspelen waren zijn eerste stappen in de muziek. Een gesprek over zijn reizen naar India, over een dierbaar boekje uit zijn jeugd en over de stem van zijn moeder.    Het blijft hoe dan ook en iedere keer weer een bijzonder gevoel om iemands privédomein binnen te stappen. Zeker bij iemand wiens  naam en muziek je al heel lang kent. De nog steeds zeer actieve Rokus de Groot, inmiddels 75 jaar, woont en werkt in Amsterdam-West. In de huiskamer staat een fraaie bruine Pleyel vleugel met in zijn ronding een klavecimbel gedrukt. Schilderijen en beelden verraden zijn liefde voor India. De werkkamer ligt een verdieping lager…   Op 11- jarige leeftijd kreeg Rokus zijn eerste orgellessen in de Grote Kerk van Dordrecht en studeerde hij van 1958 tot 1968 bij organist Willem Vogel. Maar professioneel organist worden wilde hij uiteindelijk niet. Hij ging muziekwetenschappen studeren aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en studeerde cum laude af. In 1991 promoveerde hij aan de Universiteit van Utrecht. Er volgde een leven van college's geven, artikelen schrijven, symposia bezoeken en conferentie organiseren…wereldwijd. Vanaf 2000 werd hij hoogleraar muziekwetenschap aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam (hoofdvak: Muziek van de 20ste en 21ste eeuw). Naast alle bedrijvigheid componeerde hij en dat tot op de dag van vandaag.

**NIEUW GELUID** Persoonlijk waren wij niet bekend met de muziek die de gast van deze aflevering maakt. Maar sinds wij een podcast met hem mochten maken staat zijn muziek de hele dag aan! Wat een heerlijke rauwe sound, we zijn fan! Vandaag te gast in de 4 Meter Sessie: Rokus Maasland van 'The Bowery'! 40 jaar, vader van 2 kinderen en getrouwd met Caroline. Zanger en muzikant van zijn band 'The Bowery'. En omdat hij tegenwoordig ook een bekend christengezicht is, maakt hij zich zeer geschikt voor onze podcast. Je doet hem overigens geen plezier als je zijn bekendheid benoemd, want stiekem blijft Rokus het allerliefst anoniem. Maar ja, je steekt toch echt met je kop boven het maaiveld uit Rokus, en dat doe je op indrukwekkende wijze! Wie is Rokus als papa? Hoe was zijn jeugd? Met welke emotie gaat hij van 0 naar 10? En met de altijd terugkerende guilty pleasure gaan we weer een keer alle drie met de billen bloot, pffffff. Allemaal te horen. Rokus, dank voor je gastvrijheid en het prachtige gesprek. Bij je aankomende tour zitten we in het publiek! Beste en gewaardeerde luisteraar, veel plezier! Jaap & Ewout

Have you ever wondered if God was working in your life? Maybe you are praying for wisdom or clarity, and He just seems silent. And you are wondering, God are you there? I am excited to have Patti Rokus on the podcast this week. She does rock art, and I was captivated by her Easter book, *He is Risen: Rocks Tell the Story of Easter. It is about a month before Easter, so I was thinking about highlighting a book about Easter and God brought this book to my mind. I bought it a couple years ago and was exciting to share about Easter, but after hearing Patti's story, I am excited to announce that we go deep on the podcast this week.   One of the things we talked about is when God seems silent, how do we keep trusting Him that He is working in our lives.  This has a lot to do with how Patti's rock ministry was birthed, and I just love the depth, honesty, and vulnerability in this episode. This is one of my favorite episodes and I think you are going to learn so much from Patti. Also, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Patti's book, *He is Risen: Rocks Tell the Story of Easter. All the details of the book giveaway are on my website at jodirosser.com or you can click this direct link. Book Recommendations: *The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis *Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis *Narnia Series by C. S. Lewis You may already know Patti Rokus from her best-selling children's books on pebble and rock art.  Or perhaps you saw her on the 2021 Primary Friend to Friend broadcast with 600,000 kids watching as she taught rock art. But what you might not know is that Patti is a singer-songwriter with online kids' nature art lessons during the day and story time and music at night to build self-worth and inner-peace. After an international technology career with Microsoft, Nike and others, Patti finally followed her heart into the woods and came out with a bucket of ordinary rocks that told extraordinary stories. Although she didn't get to have children of her own, she keeps finding herself creating projects that help kids find their own inner strength and wisdom.  You can connect with Patti on her website: RocksTellStories.com *Note: If you are interested in purchasing this book or the books recommended, I would love for you to use the Amazon Affiliate link above to help support the podcast. Thank you!

Pres Nelson once said this about women…. “To help another human being reach one's celestial potential is part of the divine mission of woman. As mother, teacher, or nurturing Saint, she molds living clay to the shape of her hopes. In partnership with God, her divine mission is to help spirits live and souls be lifted. This is the measure of her creation. It is ennobling, edifying, and exalting.” Russell M. Nelson, “Woman—Of Infinite Worth,” Ensign, Nov. 1989, 22. In our sacred responsibility of teaching our children, I love the fact that it is a partnership with God. He does not expect us to do it alone. He wants to help, He yearns to help, He wants to be our partner and yet so often we feel overwhelmed, under qualified and totally inadequate for the task, because we have to do it alone. In today's episode we talk about how we can partner with God more often and access His power when teaching the gospel to our children. Join us today with Patti Rokus and Melia Rios-Lazo as we explore how we can Partner with God in this most important work.

Gast: Rokus Hofstede, literair vertaler. Robert van Altena spreekt met Rokus Hofstede over de schilderslevens van de Franse schrijver Pierre Michon. Rokus Hofstede: “Namen opduiken uit het archief, met een geboortedatum en een sterfdatum en daar dan een leven bij verzinnen dat is heel kort gezegd wel de werkwijze van Michon. Hij zegt ook waarom zou je personages moeten verzinnen er zijn zoveel mensen die zijn gestorven die wachten op wederopstanding, die wachten op een levensbeschrijving. Hij noemt dan zelfs het beroemde scheermes van Ockham: Je moet het aantal entiteiten niet nodeloos vermeerderen. Dat is natuurlijk een soort boutade maar hij zegt al die mensen die anoniem en vergeefs gestorven zijn, zij wachten misschien op een verhaal, zij wachten er misschien op dat hun verhaal wordt verteld. Dus hij heeft een soort mededogen voor de naamlozen uit de geschiedenis. Met die blik kijkt hij ook naar de beroemde namen, de halfgoden, de heiligen, de kunstenaars die vaak gemythologiseerd worden tot halfgoden en heiligen, en hij ziet hen ook als de naamlozen die ze ooit waren of die ze hadden kunnen blijven als het anders was gelopen, als ze niet boven zichzelf waren uitgegroeid in hun werk.” Piero verhoudt zich in die beschrijving tot Lorentino als het gekleurd object dat in de schaduwpartijen zijn complementair bij zich draagt. Michon licht hem voor even liefdevol op uit die schaduw. Pierre Michon schreef novelles over een herdersjongen die knecht wordt van Claude Lorrain — De koning van het woud; over een jonge nog onbekende Francesco Goya die ‘in mei van het jaar 1778 […] keek naar wat hij nooit zou kunnen schilderen en wat hij om die reden voortaan schilderen moest' — God voleindigt niet; over een vermeend historisch meesterwerk van de schilder François Élie Corentin. Lezers van Michon zochten in het Louvre tevergeefs naar het schilderij, ze kenden het echter al in zijn enige gedaante, de schildering in woorden van Michon —De Elf; over Joseph Roulin alias ‘de postbode', een geliefd model van Vincent van Gogh — Leven van Joseph Roulin; over de schilder Jean Antoine Watteau, waarin vleselijke lust als bron van scheppingskracht van de kunstenaar wordt gepresenteerd. De schilder zet, in de verbeelding van Michon, zijn seksuele uitspattingen om in een pornografisch œuvre, een œuvre dat vernietigd wordt, wellicht vernietigd moet worden om parallel te blijven lopen met het leven van de schilder —Vermaken wil ik mij; en over Lorentino d'Angelo een leerling van Piero della Francesca. Lorentino die anders dan Corentin werkelijk heeft bestaan, een bestaan waarvan we op de hoogte zijn omdat Vasari hem een plek geeft in zijn levensbeschrijving van Piero, niet om zijnentwil maar als teken. Piero verhoudt zich in die beschrijving tot Lorentino als het gekleurd object dat in de schaduwpartijen zijn complementair bij zich draagt. Michon licht hem voor even liefdevol op uit die schaduw —Heb vertrouwen in dit teken.

What happened to the HTPC?  When we first started doing the podcast many many years ago, the Home Theater PC was a thing. DIYers built them from scratch and others who were not so technically inclined could buy fully built ready to go products from third party vendors. Xbox owners were lucky enough to have the Windows Media Center client built into their gaming consoles so they could leave the PC in an office and still have the HTPC experience in the family room.  Fast forward ten years and HTPCs are not really a thing anymore. You can still buy some prebuilt products like the Intel BOXNUC8i3CYSN1 NUC 8 Home, a Mini PC with Windows 10. No kidding that's the name. It's available at Amazon for $425. If you are the handy type you can build one from scratch. The Tech Buyer Guru has a parts list that goes for less than $750 with all parts being purchased at Amazon.They even have step by step instructions on how to assemble the PC. We feel that this would be the way to go. Once built it would be on par with HTPCs that cost two or three times as much.  Once the PC is built then you have to install software. Windows no longer comes with what we found to be the best media center software “Windows Media Center” so you have to download and install your own. There are plenty to choose from and they are free!  Plex - Plex brings together all the media that matters to you. Your personal collection will look beautiful alongside stellar streaming content. Enjoy Live TV & DVR, a growing catalog of great web shows, news, and podcasts. It's finally possible to enjoy all the media you love in a single app, on any device, no matter where you are. Kodi - Kodi spawned from the love of media. It is an entertainment hub that brings all your digital media together into a beautiful and user friendly package. It is 100% free and open source, very customisable and runs on a wide variety of devices. It is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and a huge community. Media Portal -  transforms your PC into a complete media solution.  It runs on basic hardware, connects directly to your TV and displays your TV Series, Movies, Photos and Music in a much more dynamic way. All in the comfort of your living room, on your big screen LCD or Plasma TV or projector! There are others as well. Once you install the software you point it to your media files and you are off to the races.  Back in the day that would be enough and you would be the envy of everyone on the block. But today there are so many options for getting your content that an HTPC with just the media server software falls short. Early on there was no Netflix, Hulu, Apple, Google, or Amazon content so it didn't matter. Today we have content all over the place. And the problem is that the PC interface to that content is not really usable with a remote control.  Sure there are plugins that are developed for these media servers to try and fix the interface problem but DRM protected content just do not play well with these products.  In actuality, the real reason the HTPC dropped off the face of the earth is because of the Set top box. The Rokus, AppleTVs, and FireTVs of today do so much more and for a faction of the price. Plus you can get players for your device that work with some of the media servers out there. Plex in particular looks great on these set top boxes. All you need is a computer somewhere on the network that runs the Plex Software and you have access to any content on your phones, computers, and set top boxes. This is not how the original HTPCs worked of course. In the old scenario the computer's video was run to the TV and when you launched the player it went full screen similar to video games taking over the computer's interface. This method is by far better as you don't need to keep a noisy PC in the room with the TV and the content can be served to multiple TVs and devices throughout  your network.  So what do you think? Do you want a HTPC? Do we need them anymore?

Rokus den Hartog dedicated many years of his life teaching spiritual principles after having an experience in which he encountered a ´Living light´. A term that mystics all through the centuries have used. This light is also known as the Ein Sof, the unknowable. Rokus refers to this as the great Father-Source of all. "The Light is us, and there is no existence apart from the Light for the Light is the All." Rokus: 'This "Light" as we call it comes as a "knowing" in our awareness, a knowing about who we are. A knowing that comes after many centuries of the darkness of not-knowing, shrouded in the darkness of three dimensional thinking. It is also a "feeling" in our emotional being, a feeling of worth and wholeness that brings joy.´ Themes in his teaching are the purpose for our incarnation in this material plane, owning our humanity and mortality, accepting limitation and pain and transcending three dimensional thinking. Remembering who we are. why we came here and reconnecting to that part that is eternal are important part of his teachings. Rokus was born in the Netherlands and grew up in Canada and later moved to the United States. I connected with him via the internet and spend with him in 2008 and 2010. He went back to the light in 2013. He never had the audience that I think he deserved and I feel called to share his message Enjoy!

Patti Rokus is an artist and an author of the new book He is Risen: Rocks Tell the of Easter” and Dr. Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 036 of the Pathway to Promise Podcast which is Day 3 of the 40 Day Life Transformation experience. The theme of this episode is the restorative and transformational nature of connecting with nature. Pattie Rokus is a recovering corporate executive with Microsoft and NIKE who overcame the adversity of childhood trauma and divorce through the healing power of nature and expressing art though rocks. The purpose of The Pathway to Promise Podcast is helping people overcome adversity to achieve their promised life of peace prosperity and purpose. Patti found herself in a state of debilitating adversity dealing with a severe back injury, a failed marriage, and dissatisfaction with her job.   She took time on an extended vacation to camp and hike in nature where she took the time to clear her mind, connect with God through nature and discover, quite unexpectantly the artistic value of gathering rocks and displaying them through art. She created her first book  “A Savior is Born: Rocks Tell The Story of Christmas” in 2018, a coffee table photo book hoping to sell 50 copies and sold over 900 which confirmed the impact that her art and authorship was making to others. She believes her books tell biblical stories in fresh new ways and recently released her new book “He Is Risen: Rocks The Story of Easter” Patti also produces artists and how to video at rockstellstories.com and is providing a gift download instructional video about how to create an angel from rocks which has delighted children and adults alike. Patti is inspired to help people realize that God cares for them individually and to heal and connect with God by stepping out in nature.

"The Light is us, and there is no existence apart from the Light for the Light is the All." Deze eerste Podcast van het nieuwe jaar hoor je de woorden van mijn inmiddels overleden mentor en vriend Rokus den Hartog. Rokus brengt zijn lezers en luisteraars in contact met de diepere vragen van ons bestaan: wat is het doel van ons wezen? Waarom ervaren we pijn, verlies, schuld, schaamte, zonde en zelfs de dood? Hij dringt aan op de conclusie dat we geen slachtoffers zijn. We hebben altijd keuze. Het vermogen om te kiezen maakt ons de prachtige wezens die we zijn. Hij laat duidelijk zien hoe alle dingen de evolutie van het bewustzijn en de grote liefde van de Vader-Bron dienen. Door mystieke ervaringen, inzicht in de heilige geschriften en de wetenschap, geeft Rokus den Hartog zijn hoorders een nieuw gedachteparadigma. De kern daarvan is een grotere perceptie van de boodschap die Jezus de mens over de mens gaf: je grootste behoefte is om te weten wie je bent. Ik werd jou om je te laten zien dat je de Zoon van God bent die stierf in je eigen menselijke ervaring. Ik ben het kiemkristal van je ontwaken ... deze boodschap is de NOVA ... de schitterende explosie van licht. English: Rokus presents his readers with the deep, soul-searching questions of our existence: What is the purpose of our being? Why do we experience pain, loss, guilt, shame, sin, and even death? He presses the conclusion that we are not victims. We always have choice, and our ability to choose makes us the magnificent creatures we are. He shows clearly how all things serve the evolution of consciousness and the great love of the Father-Source. Through mystic experiences, insight into the sacred scriptures and science, denHartog gives his readers a new thought paradigm. At the core of it is a greater perception of the message Jesus gave to Man about Man: Your greatest need is to know who you are. I became you to show you that you are the Son of God that died in your own human experience. I am the seed crystal of your awakening…this message is the NOVA…the brilliant explosion of light.

Robert van Altena spreekt met Rokus Hofstede over de vertaling die hij samen met Martin de Haan maakte van de klassieker ‘Swann's kant op‘ (‘Du coté de chez Swann'), het eerste deel van de roman-cyclus ‘À la recherche du temps perdu' van Marcel Proust. “Wat wij in ieder geval al vrij snel beseften is [dat] we met frisse oneerbiedigheid aan die vertaling [moesten] beginnen. We moeten niet eerst verklaren dat Proust een monument is en dan dat monument gaan proberen na te bootsen. Nee we willen er een levende Nederlandse tekst van maken…” SPRINGVOSSEN Redactie + presentatie: Robert van Altena contact: springvossen@gmail.com www.facebook.com/springvossen www.amsterdamfm.nl/tag/springvossen/

Wat als je alle ingrediënten hebt meegekregen om te ontsporen van jongs af aan? Rokus houdt van échte verhalen, overtuigingen over mensen tackelen, de dialoog aangaan en echt luisteren. Rokus houdt van het stelen van goede ideeën en vooral van DOEN. Hij bracht The Living Museum naar Nederland en wel bij GGZ InGeest in Bennebroek. Een vrijplaats voor iedereen die kunst wil maken inclusief mensen met psychiatrische stempels.

Tivo Mantis...Cord Cutter's Dream box? We have read countless emails from listeners who have cut the cord over the years and many of them have turned to Tivo to become the center of that process. With an antenna and a Tivo box you can cut your TV subscription services to almost nothing. Tivo boxes support Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, Plex, and Amazon Prime so you really don't have to give up everything. Yes there are cable channels that you may miss, but many of those have an app where you can watch some of the programming for free. Worst case you may need to buy a few season passes of a couple of TV shows that are not available through an app. Regardless, you should be able to watch everything you want and dramatically cut your yearly bill.   Tivo even has options for those who want to connect multiple TVs through a network connection. The $150 Tivo Mini will connect a bedroom TV to the main Tivo Unit bringing the full Tivo experience to any room in the house without any additional fee. A typical multi room setup can run about $750 including a year of the TV service. Compare that to $1,200 ($50/month 24 month min required) for a basic level of  DirecTV service. For some this is still a bit steep because you have to come up with the money up front. Well we have heard that Tivo is working on a new box called the Mantis. It is a headless network DVR box that may change everything for the cord cutter. It's a box that isn't much bigger than than Roku or AppleTV that connects to an antenna and then transcodes the signal for viewing by other devices. It's not clear if it will come equipped with a hard drive or will require an external drive for storage. Tivo will also include an app for viewing what's on the Mantis for AppleTVs, Rokus, and the FireTV as well as the apps for tablets and smartphones. That means that you can now bury the Mantis in any room that has a network (or within range of Wifi) and antenna connection. With minimal details at this time we can only speculate on the feature set. Our wish list would include: Online viewing of live and recorded content - This is kind of like a personalized Aereo service and slingbox all rolled into one. Offline viewing of recorded content -  It would be nice to be able to catch up on all the TV that is piling up on your DVR without needing an Internet connection. Cloud Support - No need to open up ports on your router. This makes setup and use much easier. Content Archiving - It would also be nice if the content on your local drive could be archived to iCloud, Amazon, or Google Drives Tivo has not confirmed or denied that the Mantis actually exists. The information has been gleaned from an FCC filing. Look for the Mantis to be announced at CES in January. Or you can pick up a Tablo (Buy Now $199) right now. It doesn't have all the features we discussed but it will give you access to your DVR from anywhere you have a network connection.

In 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Paul offers a description of the qualifications for elders, (sometimes called "overseers") for Timothy, who was charged with selecting elders in Ephesus. These qualifications will be used to re-affirm current elders at CrossPoint in April.

How long does love last? In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul speaks of love so eloquently in this letter to the believers. While we don't know what the question was, Paul is addressing the need for unity and diversity of the body--loving one another through our differences. He wanted to tell a "most excellent way" so he launches into a description of how loving behaves, and it's more than a feeling!

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, 'Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.' Matthew 2:1-2. What can we learn about worship from the wise men in their quest to find Jesus?

As Israel traveled toward the Promised Land, they encountered cities to be conquered. Before the battles to occupy these cities began, Joshua told the Israelites to “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” (Joshua 3:5). One of those cities was Jericho, a city that had upped its security because they had gotten word of Israel’s reputation and the things that God had done. Israel didn’t know how things would unfold, but Joshua gave them particular instructions. We don’t always know how things will unfold in our lives when we are faced with life’s challenges, but as in the case of Joshua and Israel, perhaps we should ask ourselves: Am I courageous? Do I believe in God’s promises when I can’t see the future? Have I met the real Jesus? And do I believe that all things are possible with God? Yes, we sometimes have our doubts, but we must keep growing and believe that the Lord will do amazing things among us!

This is the happiest of cartoons~ So since we are gearing up for Anime Weekend Atlanta and we know you kids like those Japanese cartoons, we decided to talk about one!
