Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Sandcastles to Laughter: István's Unplanned Masterpiece Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-07-26-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Balatonparton egy meleg nyári délutánon, a strandok pezsegtek az élettől.En: On a warm summer afternoon by Balaton, the beaches were bustling with life.Hu: A Balaton Beachside Café közelében, a homokos parton, felállították a nagy művészeti versenyt: a homokvár építőversenyt.En: Near the Balaton Beachside Café, on the sandy shore, they had set up the big art competition: the sandcastle building contest.Hu: Az ég kék volt, a nap aranyló fénye szikrázott a vízfelszínen.En: The sky was blue, and the golden sunlight sparkled on the water's surface.Hu: A part mentén színes napernyők látszódtak.En: Colorful umbrellas could be seen along the shore.Hu: Nevetés és boldog kiáltások keveredtek a hullámok lágy hangjával.En: Laughter and joyful shouts mingled with the gentle sound of the waves.Hu: István, Katalin és Ádám is ott voltak.En: István, Katalin, and Ádám were also there.Hu: István véletlenül keveredett a versenyre.En: István accidentally got caught up in the competition.Hu: A zsúfolt parton fel sem tűnt neki, hogy épp a résztvevők számára kijelölt területet lépte át, miközben a többiek versenylapon vették komolyan az építést.En: On the crowded beach, he didn't even realize he had stepped into the area designated for participants, while the others were seriously focused on their building with submission forms.Hu: Katalin viccelődött: "Na István, hogy állsz az új karriereddel?En: Katalin joked, "So István, how's your new career coming along?"Hu: " Ádám nevetve hozzátette: "Nézzük, mit alkot a mester!En: Ádám added with a laugh, "Let's see what the master creates!"Hu: "István mindig is szeretett volna valami kreatívat alkotni, de soha nem sikerült neki igazán.En: István had always wanted to create something artistic, but it never really worked out for him.Hu: Bár a versenyzők mind profiknak tűntek saját szerszámkészleteikkel, István elhatározta, hogy száll harcba.En: Although the competitors all seemed like professionals with their own toolsets, István decided to take on the challenge.Hu: "Nem baj," mondta viccesen, "építek egy szobrot a homokból.En: "No problem," he said jokingly, "I'll build a sculpture out of sand.Hu: Olyat még senki sem látott!En: No one's ever seen anything like it!"Hu: "Elkezdett építeni.En: He began building.Hu: A homok dőlt és omladozott, ahogy próbált valami formát faragni belőle.En: The sand leaned and crumbled as he tried to carve some shape out of it.Hu: A versenyzők komoly arccal építették kastélyaikat, de István inkább nevettette a nézőket.En: The competitors were building their castles with serious faces, but István entertained the spectators instead.Hu: Minden építés közben tett megjegyzése alkalmat adott a körülöttük lévőknek a vidám nevetésre.En: Every comment he made during the building gave those around them a reason for joyful laughter.Hu: Ahogy telt az idő, közeledtek a bírók, hogy megnézzék az alkotásokat.En: As time passed, the judges approached to view the creations.Hu: István már majdnem befejezte alkotását, ami inkább hasonlított egy modern művészeti installációra, mintsem egy klasszikus várra.En: István had almost finished his work, which resembled a modern art installation more than a classic castle.Hu: Abban a pillanatban, ahogy a bírák feléjük fordultak, a vár összeomlott.En: Just as the judges turned towards them, the castle collapsed.Hu: A homokfalak ledőltek, és egy nagy puffanással szétterült a földön.En: The sand walls toppled and spread out on the ground with a loud thud.Hu: A közönség tapsolt és nevetett.En: The audience clapped and laughed.Hu: Katalin és Ádám a hasukat fogva vonaglottak nevetés közben.En: Katalin and Ádám were doubled over with laughter.Hu: István meghajolt, mintha szándékosan tervezte volna az egészet.En: István bowed as if he had planned the whole thing intentionally.Hu: A bírák is mosolyogtak, és végül kiosztották neki a "Legszórakoztatóbb Kísérlet" díjat.En: The judges smiled too and eventually awarded him the "Most Entertaining Attempt" prize.Hu: István valami különlegeset ért el aznap: megnevettette az embereket.En: István achieved something special that day: he made people laugh.Hu: Rájött, hogy a kreativitás nem mindig a sikeres építésben rejlik, hanem abban, hogy hogyan használja az ember a képzeletét és humorát.En: He realized that creativity doesn't always lie in successful construction, but rather in how one uses imagination and humor.Hu: Aznap este, amikor a nap lassan lecsúszott a horizont mögé, István örömmel nézett a hullámokra, elégedetten a nap eredményével.En: That evening, as the sun slowly slipped behind the horizon, István looked at the waves with joy, satisfied with the day's outcome.Hu: Megértette, hogy a nevetés ereje nagyobb, mint bármely tökéletesen megépített homokvár.En: He understood that the power of laughter is greater than any perfectly built sandcastle.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Sandcastles and Laughter: A Day on Tel Aviv Beach Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2026-07-25-07-38-19-he Story Transcript:He: בלב קיץ לוהט, על חוף תל אביב מלא שמש ואנשים, מצאו את עצמם לאה, אריאל ונעם מחפשים אתגר.En: In the heart of a hot summer, on the sunlit and crowded Tel Aviv beach, Lea, Ariel, and Noam found themselves seeking a challenge.He: השלושה הביאו דלי, כף והרבה יצירתיות, וחלום אחד משותף: לבנות את ארמון החול הגבוה והמרשים ביותר שיזכה להערצת כל נופשי החוף.En: The trio brought a bucket, a spade, a lot of creativity, and one shared dream: to build the tallest and most impressive sandcastle that would earn the admiration of all the beachgoers.He: לאה, עם עניים מלאות נוצץ חלום, אמרה: "הארמון שלנו יהיה הגבוה ביותר!"En: Lea, her eyes filled with a shimmering dream, said, "Our castle will be the tallest!"He: אריאל, בצחוקו הנצחי הוסיף: "נתקע עליו דגל, כך כולם יידעו שזה ארמון החול של מועדון הפלאפל!".En: Ariel, with his eternal laugh, added, "We'll stick a flag on it, so everyone knows it's the sandcastle of the Falafel Club!"He: נעם, רציני כהרגלו, כבר התחשב באתגרים ההנדסיים: "אנחנו צריכים לשים חומה מסביב כדי שהים לא יחריב את כל החוויה".En: Noam, as serious as ever, was already considering the engineering challenges: "We need to put a wall around it so the sea won't ruin the entire experience."He: בזמן שהחול נשפך מהדלי ונערם למרומים, לאה התמלאה גאווה.En: As the sand poured from the bucket and piled up to great heights, Lea was filled with pride.He: אבל לפתע, הבחינה שהים מתגנב לאט ובוגדני.En: But suddenly, she noticed the sea creeping in, slowly and treacherously.He: "הא, תיזהרו! אולי תהיה פה אפוקליפסת ארמון חול!"En: "Hey, watch out! We might have a sandcastle apocalypse here!"He: אריאל צחק, והוסיף בדיחה נוספת על גלי צונאמי וחול.En: Ariel laughed and added another joke about tsunami waves and sand.He: אבל לבה של לאה כבר דאג קצת, והיא הפנתה את תשומת ליבה לנעם: "איך נתכנן את ההגנה שלנו?"En: But Lea was already a bit worried and turned her attention to Noam: "How do we plan our defense?"He: נעם הציע לבנות חומה עבה מסביב לארמון כדי להגן עליו מפני הגלים, אך לאה עדיין חששה מהשעון.En: Noam suggested building a thick wall around the castle to protect it from the waves, but Lea was still concerned about the clock.He: "אין לנו הרבה זמן", היא אמרה ולקחה נשימה עמוקה.En: "We don't have much time," she said, taking a deep breath.He: הארמון הלך וגדל, אך הגלים גם הלכו והתקדמו.En: The castle continued to grow, but so did the advancing waves.He: "מה נציל, את הארמון או את הזמן?" שאלה חשקיים.En: "What should we save, the castle or the time?" she asked pensively.He: רגע השיא הגיע כשהגלים החלו לגעת בחומה הראשונה.En: The climax came when the waves began to touch the first wall.He: במהירות וטבעיות כולם נרתמו לעבודה, השקענו את כל יכולתם - לאה היוצרת, אריאל החביב, ונעם שדרש שלמות הנדסית.En: Swiftly and naturally, everyone got to work, putting in all their effort—Lea the creative, Ariel the amiable, and Noam who demanded engineering perfection.He: הם לחצו בכפות ובידיים, ניסו להספיק לסיים בזמן.En: They pressed with spades and hands, trying to finish in time.He: אך אז גל אחד פגע בעוצמה.En: But then a wave hit with force.He: המים הרוסו את מבנה החול.En: The water destroyed the sand structure.He: לרגע נפשם התרוקנה, אבל בתוך רגע נוסף פרצו בצחוק גדול.En: For a moment, their spirits sank, but in the next moment, they burst into laughter.He: "זה היה מהיר מהמחשבה שלי!" אמר אריאל.En: "That was faster than I thought!" Ariel said.He: לאה, מחזיקה את בטנה מצחוק, ואמרה: "בואו נתחיל מחדש. הפעם נבנה בעזרת צחוק ובטוח יצליח!"En: Lea, holding her stomach from laughter, said, "Let's start over. This time, we'll build with laughter, and it will surely succeed!"He: השמש התחילה להיעלם באופק, והם המשיכו לבנות.En: The sun began to disappear on the horizon, and they kept building.He: הארמון נעלם, אבל החברות נשארה חזקה יותר מתמיד.En: The castle vanished, but the friendship remained stronger than ever.He: לאה למדה ליהנות מכל רגע עם חבריה, והבינה כי לפעמים הדרך חשובה יותר מהיעד עצמו.En: Lea learned to enjoy every moment with her friends, realizing that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination itself.He: תם, אך לא נשלם.En: The end, but not the conclusion.

Matthew 7:24-29 contrasts the wise man and the foolish man to show that the true difference between people is not hearing Jesus' words, but obeying them. It emphasizes that outward appearances and religious activity cannot replace a solid spiritual foundation built on surrender to Christ and His authority. Through the image of storms testing both houses, we are reminded that life's trials and final judgment will reveal whether their lives are truly grounded in obedience to Jesus.

Entrepreneur and author Tero Molis joins me to explore a deceptively simple idea: if nothing lasts, what actually matters?This conversation starts with Tero's philosophy from his book Life Is a Sandcastle—the idea that everything we build eventually disappears. The question isn't whether the wave comes. It's what you do knowing that it will.Most people interpret nihilism as hopeless: nothing matters, so why try? This episode flips that. If nothing is permanent, you're free to build, experiment, fail, and rebuild—without attaching your identity to the outcome.We unpack why purpose is often misunderstood, how social media distorts authenticity, and why many people confuse validation with meaning. Tero argues that real purpose is quiet—something you'd pursue even if no one ever noticed. I push on that and explore whether purpose is necessary at all, or if it's simply a construct we use to avoid confronting uncertainty.The conversation gets personal when Tero reflects on the recent loss of his mother—despite decades of mental preparation, the experience still challenged his identity and beliefs. It's a reminder that no philosophy survives reality unchanged.We also dig into:* Why defining happiness as outcomes leads to frustration* The difference between inputs (what you control) and outputs (what you don't)* How expectations create disappointment—and how to let go of both* Why most “success advice” ignores responsibility toward others* The hidden cost of living for appearances instead of alignmentThis isn't a conversation about having all the answers. It's about learning how to move forward without needing them.TL;DR* Nothing lasts—and that's what makes action meaningful* Purpose isn't performance; it's what you'd do without recognition* Happiness comes from inputs, not outcomes* Expectations create most of our suffering* You don't need to solve life—just keep moving through it* A “good life” is built on simple fundamentals: food, sleep, and relationshipsMemorable Lines* “If nothing matters, you're free to do what actually matters to you.”* “A real purpose doesn't need an audience.”* “Expectations are premeditated disappointments.”* “You can't control outcomes—only your inputs.”* “Everything is temporary. Build anyway.”* “If you don't love it enough to do it yourself, remove it from your life.”GuestTero Molis — Author of Life Is a SandcastlePhilosopher of “enlightened nihilism” focused on impermanence, self-awareness, and living without attachment to outcomes.Why This MattersModern life is built on the illusion of permanence—careers, identities, reputations, even beliefs. But reality doesn't cooperate. Things break. Plans collapse. People change.This episode reframes that instability as freedom.For founders, operators, and executives navigating uncertainty, the goal isn't to eliminate risk or avoid failure. It's to detach from outcomes enough that you can keep building—without losing yourself when things fall apart.Because in the end, the wave always comes. The only question is whether you're willing to build again. This is a public episode.

Taro shares insights from his inspiring book, "Life is a Sandcastle," which delves into themes of mental health, personal happiness, and the importance of self-knowledge as we enter the new year of 2026.Alison and Tero explore the notion that many people confuse happiness with external goals, often falling into the trap of believing they'll be content once they achieve certain milestones. Tero challenges this mindset, advocating for a shift toward recognizing daily dreams and experiences, no matter how simple they may seem. By valuing small accomplishments, we can cultivate a sense of fulfillment and progress in our lives.Tero also addresses the complexities of social perception and the paradox of seeking approval from others while striving for self-acceptance. His perspective encourages listeners to focus on their internal impressions instead of external validations. Throughout their chat, he stresses the importance of questioning our beliefs and opinions, urging us to liberate ourselves from inherited notions that may not serve our true selves.As they discuss decision-making, Tero shares a powerful visualization technique where he imagines standing alone on a deserted island to clarify his choices, free from external pressures. He emphasizes that questioning and answering our thoughts is vital in moving forward, suggesting we should lean into emotions and experiences regardless of how they might be perceived by society.They touch on the topic of legacy and what it means to leave a lasting mark. Tero advocates for living purposefully and authentically in the present, rather than becoming fixated on how one will be remembered after death. He believes that true impact is reflected in how we live our lives daily and how we influence the people around us, whether they be family, friends, or even students.HIGHLIGHTS:2:53 Defining Happiness4:17 The Pursuit of Dreams7:09 Knowing Yourself9:10 Embracing Change13:04 The Power of Opinion14:39 Questions for Self-Discovery16:13 Overcoming Stagnation18:18 Life is a Sandcastle20:49 Legacy and Influence22:53 The Time to Act is Now25:00 Finding Your Word27:07 Practical Decision-Making28:01 Regrets and Life Choicesconnect with Tero:Linkedin: https://mx.linkedin.com/in/teromoliisLife is a Sandcastle: https://a.co/d/0fWHtrs3SPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN...

Taken from Learning You FB:"Did you know that every dollar of our profit is being given away?Learning You was created to build awareness for those who may not yet see or understand the lives of autistic individuals, to foster connection for parents and caregivers who often feel alone, and to offer tangible moments where families of special needs can come together, feel welcomed, and experience the gift of “normal” time side-by-side."My guest today is Tyler Sansom, the filmmaker behind Learning You. We talk about how a deeply personal script became an authentic portrayal of autism on screen, why avoiding Hollywood stereotypes mattered, and the meaning behind the film's powerful “sandcastle moment.” Tyler also shares what it truly looks like to care for someone who is profoundly autistic, along with reflections on faith, empathy, and the mission-driven decision to donate 100% of the film's profits to support families through the ACT initiative—reminding us why learning one another matters more than making assumptions.Learning You Movie https://www.learningyoumovie.comLocations & Times https://www.learningyoumovie.com/theatershowingsmap.aspx?subheadertext=Locations+and+TimesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/learningyoumovieTyler Sansom FB: https://www.facebook.com/tyler.sansom.98First Capital Films: https://www.facebook.com/fcfilms00:00 Tyler Sansom & “Learning You” origin story (how it landed at the film company)01:35 Making autism authentic (avoiding “Hollywood savant” stereotypes; lived reality + caregivers)03:14 The “Sandcastle Moment” scene (storm, meltdown, and the parent realization)04:50 Film company background: pastor/filmmaker, 5 feature films, building momentum since 201605:53 100% profits donated + why (mission model; I CAN → orphans; Learning You → autism support)06:38 ACT initiative explained (Awareness–Connection–Touch; counseling/resources/respite; 15-city rollout)10:00 Casting & working with autistic actors (Caleb vs. Seth; accommodations; overstimulation + breaks)13:17 How to find ACT/Thrive + Feb 3 launch (website/FB group; resources for caregivers)14:26 Faith in film: subtle “wrestle,” not preachy (sparking conversation, not a sermon)16:00 Institutionalization & the hard realities of profound autism (care forever; society's blind spot)17:13 Where to watch: theaters → streaming timeline (window ends ~Feb 20; streaming late March)17:58 Biggest takeaway: “learn one another” (empathy over assumptions; why the title matters)19:33 Division, black-and-white thinking, and living in the “gray” (judgment vs understanding)21:36 Personal close: Pakistan trip + freeing families from slavery (what he's looking forward to)X: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Men måske er det en mulighed, Jesper," sagde hun opmuntrende.En: "This is a bit off, isn't it? But maybe it's an opportunity, Jesper," she said encouragingly.Da: Jesper trak vejret dybt.En: Jesper took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg må finde på noget," tænkte han højt.En: "I need to come up with something," he thought aloud.Da: Men det var vinter.En: But it was winter.Da: Og koldt.En: And cold.Da: Sandet var stift.En: The sand was stiff.Da: Lars, en erfaren sandborg-by mester, bemærkede den forvirrede Jesper og gik hen til ham.En: Lars, an experienced sandcastle master, noticed the confused Jesper and approached him.Da: "Jeg ser, du har brug for hjælp," sagde Lars venligt.En: "I see you need help," said Lars kindly.Da: Jesper forklarede sin fejl, og Lars lo hjerteligt.En: Jesper explained his mistake, and Lars laughed heartily.Da: "Lad os se, hvad vi kan gøre sammen," foreslog Lars.En: "Let's see what we can do together," suggested Lars.Da: Bevæbnet med simple spader og en spand, gik Jesper og Maja i gang.En: Armed with simple shovels and a bucket, Jesper and Maja got started.Da: Jesper manglede erfaring med sand, men hans kunstneriske sans kom til live.En: Jesper lacked experience with sand, but his artistic sense came alive.Da: "Hvordan får man sand til at stå," spurgte han.En: "How do you get sand to stand?" he asked.Da: Lars svarede: "Fugt er nøglen, men pas på, det fryser let."En: Lars replied, "Moisture is the key, but be careful, it freezes easily."Da: Timerne gik, og Jesper byggede ivrigt.En: Hours passed, and Jesper built eagerly.Da: Til tider lignede hans borg mere en bunke sne end et mesterværk.En: At times, his castle looked more like a pile of snow than a masterpiece.Da: Maja heppede fra sidelinjen, og Lars gav små tips.En: Maja cheered from the sidelines, and Lars offered small tips.Da: Men som solen begyndte at gå ned, skete katastrofen.En: But as the sun began to set, disaster struck.Da: Koldvinden blæste, og Jespers struktur kollapsede.En: The cold wind blew, and Jesper's structure collapsed.Da: Sandet var blevet til is og bøjet forkert.En: The sand had turned to ice and bent incorrectly.Da: Skuffelsen var stor.En: The disappointment was great.Da: "Hvad nu?" spurgte Maja forsigtigt.En: "What now?" Maja asked cautiously.Da: Men Jesper så på ruinen og fik en idé.En: But Jesper looked at the ruin and got an idea.Da: Med kreativitet og desperation formede han de faldne sandstykker til skulpturer.En: With creativity and desperation, he shaped the fallen sand pieces into sculptures.Da: Det blev til en abstrakt, men smuk formation, der sprang frem i det grånende lys.En: It became an abstract but beautiful formation that emerged in the gray light.Da: Da konkurrencen sluttede, havde juryen noteret Jespers anstrengelser.En: When the competition ended, the jury noted Jesper's efforts.Da: Lars, med respekt, nikkede til Jesper.En: Lars, with respect, nodded to Jesper.Da: "Du har fundet skønhed i kaos," sagde han.En: "You've found beauty in chaos," he said.Da: Jesper smilte stolt.En: Jesper smiled proudly.Da: Han havde lært, at kreativitet kunne blomstre, selv når alt gik galt.En: He had learned that creativity could bloom even when everything went wrong.Da: Dagen endte med en varm følelse, trods vinterkulden.En: The day ended with a warm feeling, despite the winter cold.Da: Jesper vandt ingen præmie, men han vandt respekt og en værdifuld lektion.En: Jesper didn't win a prize, but he won respect and a valuable lesson.Da: Opportunisme og fleksibilitet var lige så vigtige som kunstnerisk talent, havde han lært.En: Opportunism and flexibility were just as important as artistic talent, he had learned.Da: Da sneen begyndte at falde igen, sluttede Jesper armene om Maja i en taknemmelig kram.En: As the snow began to fall again, Jesper wrapped his arms around Maja in a grateful hug.Da: "Det var en god dag," sagde han.En: "It was a good day," he said.Da: Nyhavn-skulpturerne bag dem stod som minder om en uventet oplevelse.En: The Nyhavn sculptures behind them stood as reminders of an unexpected experience.Da: Jesper gik tilbage over brostenene med et nyt syn på det at være kunstner.En: Jesper walked back over the cobblestones with a new perspective on being an artist.

Join us for week 1 of our new series, Sandcastle Kingdoms, as Pastor John speaks on the three mindsets you need to build God's way.

Buckle up, it's a long one. Why do something in November (like everyone else does) when you can wait until the end of December? Ben and MP present their picks for the best albums of 2025. The boys also discuss what the year in music meant to them, why AI could bring on the music industry's ultimate revenge, and how the “spotify scrape” might play out.

In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with Chicago‑born jazz virtuoso Brian Culbertson – a multi‑instrumentalist, composer, producer, and the man behind the acclaimed album “Day Trip.”From Brian's early days tinkering on piano at eight, picking up trombone in the school band, and discovering the magic of a home studio at twelve, to his modern‑day workflow that blends live horns, synth‑laden beats, and the Output Arcade plug‑in that sparked the track “Sandcastles,” the conversation drifts through:The instrument journey: why piano became his songwriting hub, how drums shaped his groove sense, and the challenge of playing piano passages that push his limits.Music theory & learning: a down‑to‑earth take on why theory is “baby steps” and how a good teacher can make it approachable for anyone.Creative influences: everything from Earth, Wind & Fire and Tower of Power to classical, EDM, Mongolian metal (The Hu) and dark hip‑hop—showing how eclectic listening fuels fresh ideas.Production vs. performance: why the studio feels like home, the painstaking process of polishing a record, and the tricks he uses to translate studio vibes to a live stage.The “Day Trip” story: how nine songs were written in just four days with co‑writer Nicholas Cole, and the emotional contrast between rapid bursts of inspiration and years‑long labors of love.Beyond the music: Brian's passion for wine, the creation of his signature blends, the Napa Valley Jazz Getaway he co‑hosts, and the balance of artistry with entrepreneurship.Get ready for a deep dive into a musician's mindset, a handful of quirky anecdotes (no secret studio rituals—just a shower and a good vibe), and plenty of tips for anyone who dreams of turning a musical spark into a polished record.Press play, lean back, and let the conversation remind you why, when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

Sandcastles are one of the simple joys of the beach—built with care, shaped with creativity, and admired for their beauty before the waves wash them away. As we pause to appreciate these fragile works of art, we're reminded of something far greater: creation itself wasn't formed by accident or chance. In this episode, we reflect on the God who designed the universe with purpose and intention. Nature points us to a Creator who not only crafted every grain of sand but also gave us His Word so we could know Him personally. Join us as we explore how even a sandcastle can lead our hearts back to the One who formed all things by His powerful Word.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

From sea turtles losing their way to kids building sandcastles that will wash away, Chris explores how purpose beats planning, why financial “preparation” matters more than rigid “plans,” and why joy, meaning, and relationships can't be postponed for some mythical retirement finish line.

This is a tough passage. Defeat, humiliation, devestation, and the false prophets led the sheep to the slaughter. Chad meditates on this heavy lament from the prophet Jeremiah and reminds us that our only hope is in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Marvelle Figueroa sings the haunting song "Sandcastle".

In this episode, I talk about sandcastles and leadership.

It's Friday and we have Jason Bermas coming on for a little while to spear a few big stories and even tie a few together! Jonathan Oddi (who shot up a Trump Hotel years ago in order to be arrested and give his testimony against New World Order forces he witnessed at work while spending time around Puff Daddy) may be testifying in court; James Comey is on the hot seat after a social media post that seems to insinuate he'd like something bad to happen to Donald Trump, and more. When we're done chillin with Jason we're going to do a reel review and see what's on the audience's mind before the weekend kicks off.
