It's amazing how the memories from our childhood can shape the course of our lives. I still remember being picked up, along with my cousins, by a kind woman named Ms. Hughes. She would load us into her station wagon every Sunday morning and take us to Sunday School. Before then, I had never attended. Because of her dedication to the Lord, she saw the value in planting seeds of faith in young hearts—mine included. It's amazing how the memories from our childhood can shape the course of our lives. I still remember being picked up, along with my cousins, by a kind woman named Ms. Hughes. She would load us into her station wagon every Sunday morning and take us to Sunday School. Before then, I had never attended. Because of her dedication to the Lord, she saw the value in planting seeds of faith in young hearts—mine included.” I grew to love my Sunday School teacher, Ms. Jamison, and the lessons she shared with us. To this day, I can still recite the Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments she made sure we memorized. I even remember her teaching us the song “Deep and Wide.” Recently, I had the chance to return to my home church. As I shared a few remarks, I was able to express how the people there laid the spiritual foundation of my walk with Christ. I stand today on their shoulders, deeply grateful for their obedience to the call. Sometimes we don't see the fruit of our labor right away. But like Moses preparing the way for Joshua, we too are called to lay a foundation for others to grow in the Lord.

Story Transcript:Nl: De zon scheen helder door de grote ramen van de schoolbibliotheek.En: The sun shone brightly through the large windows of the school library.Nl: Bram zat aan een houten tafel, zijn boeken en aantekeningen nauwkeurig voor zich uitgespreid.En: Bram sat at a wooden table, his books and notes meticulously spread out before him.Nl: Hij was vastbesloten om een topscore te halen voor zijn eindexamen om zijn studiebeurs te behouden.En: He was determined to achieve a top score on his final exam to maintain his scholarship.Nl: Naast hem zat Esmée, die ondanks het geluid van de festiviteiten buiten, probeerde zich te concentreren.En: Next to him sat Esmée, who, despite the sounds of the festivities outside, was trying to concentrate.Nl: Het was bijna Koningsdag.En: It was almost Koningsdag.Nl: Buiten vierden mensen al met vlaggen en muziek, en het was moeilijk om zich te concentreren.En: Outside, people were already celebrating with flags and music, and it was difficult to focus.Nl: De bibliotheek was voller dan normaal.En: The library was fuller than usual.Nl: Studenten die zich voorbereidden op examens en tegelijkertijd de feestelijke sfeer buiten proefden, maakten het luidruchtig.En: Students preparing for exams while also tasting the festive atmosphere outside made it noisy.Nl: Bram fronste zijn wenkbrauwen en probeerde zich diep in zijn studie te verdiepen.En: Bram furrowed his brow and tried to delve deeply into his studies.Nl: Hij dacht aan zijn toekomst en zijn harde werk.En: He thought about his future and his hard work.Nl: Esmée daarentegen snapte al snel dat ze de chaos niet kon negeren.En: Esmée, on the other hand, quickly realized she couldn't ignore the chaos.Nl: Ze keek op van haar tekstopgaven en glimlachte naar Bram.En: She looked up from her text exercises and smiled at Bram.Nl: “Wil je misschien even pauzeren en iets geks proberen?” vroeg ze met een twinkeling in haar ogen.En: “Do you want to take a break and try something crazy?” she asked with a twinkle in her eyes.Nl: Bram aarzelde, vastgeklemd aan de houvast van zijn strakke studieschema.En: Bram hesitated, clinging to the grip of his tight study schedule.Nl: Maar Esmée hield aan.En: But Esmée persisted.Nl: “Kom op, we kunnen elkaar quizzen terwijl we bewegen.En: “Come on, we can quiz each other while we move.Nl: Het is beter dan stilstaan!” stelde ze voor.En: It's better than sitting still!” she suggested.Nl: Bram keek naar de hoofdzakelijk vrolijke menigte buiten en knikte langzaam.En: Bram looked at the predominantly happy crowd outside and slowly nodded.Nl: Misschien zou een pauze helpen.En: Maybe a break would help.Nl: Samen stonden ze op.En: Together they stood up.Nl: Esmée begon met de eerste vraag terwijl ze tussendoor kleine danspasjes maakte.En: Esmée started with the first question while doing little dance steps in between.Nl: Tot hun verbazing hielp de combinatie van de beweging en het hardop bespreken van concepten ze om de informatie beter te onthouden.En: To their surprise, the combination of movement and discussing concepts out loud helped them remember the information better.Nl: Bram ontdekte dat hij, door Esmée te volgen, de moeilijke formules met meer gemak kon herhalen.En: Bram discovered that by following Esmée, he could repeat the difficult formulas with more ease.Nl: De uren vlogen voorbij.En: The hours flew by.Nl: Terwijl de avond naderde en vuurwerk de lucht verlichtte, hadden Bram en Esmée een groot deel van hun studiemateriaal doorgelopen.En: As evening approached and fireworks lit up the sky, Bram and Esmée had gone through a large portion of their study material.Nl: En ze voelden zich zelfverzekerd.En: And they felt confident.Nl: Bram kon eindelijk lachen zonder ervoor te vrezen dat hij zijn concentratie verloor.En: Bram could finally laugh without fearing he would lose his concentration.Nl: Esmée voelde dat ze haar stress had kunnen loslaten en was trots op hun vooruitgang.En: Esmée felt that she had been able to let go of her stress and was proud of their progress.Nl: Ze zaten weer aan de tafel, met een nieuw, verfrissend perspectief op hun studie.En: They sat back down at the table, with a new, refreshing perspective on their studies.Nl: “Een pauze nemen is soms echt het beste wat je kunt doen,” zei Bram met een bevrijde zucht.En: “Taking a break is sometimes really the best thing you can do,” said Bram with a relieved sigh.Nl: Esmée knikte instemmend en gaf hem een bemoedigende klop op zijn schouder.En: Esmée nodded in agreement and gave him an encouraging pat on his shoulder.Nl: Zo eindigde hun sessie niet alleen met een beter begrip van de moeilijke materie, maar ook met een les in balans en veerkracht.En: Thus, their session ended not only with a better understanding of the difficult material but also with a lesson in balance and resilience.Nl: Koningsdag bracht hen niet alleen plezier en vieren, maar gaf hen ook de frisse energie die ze nodig hadden om op een andere manier succesvol te zijn.En: Koningsdag brought them not only joy and celebration but also gave them the fresh energy they needed to succeed in a different way.

I wasn't ready for that! You may find yourself repeating those words in your mind as you confront an unexpected challenge. Hearing the words “cancer,” or a spouse saying “I want a divorce,” or a job stating “We are eliminating your department,” can be overwhelming. Far too often, we hear words for which we are just not ready. Hearing news you're not ready for can feel like the ground has suddenly shifted beneath your feet. It's as if time momentarily freezes while your mind races to catch up with the new reality presented to you. There's a rush of emotions—confusion, disbelief, shock, and often fear—all competing for attention. Your heart may start to pound, and you might feel a knot forming in the pit of your stomach.In that instant, there's a desperate search for clarity and understanding, grappling with how this news fits into your world. It disrupts your sense of control and forces you onto an uncharted path, leaving you to navigate through the tumult of feelings and the enormity of what lies ahead. God sees all people everywhereas His handiwork. Biases—rooted in race, politics,or nationality—can create barriers that preventus from extending help to others. However,Jesus invites us to recognize these barriers andchallenges us to rise above them. He encouragesus to act with compassion and courage, reachingout to support the unborn, orphans, widows, andthe vulnerable—embracing our responsibility tostand up and step in when help is most needed.” You may not be ready for the Bible passage for this session. Why? Studying the passage will bring into view the truth that God sees all people everywhere as His handiwork. Biases—rooted in race, politics, or nationality—can create barriers that prevent us from extending help to others. However, Jesus invites us to recognize these barriers and challenges us to rise above them. He encourages us to act with compassion and courage, reaching out to support the unborn, orphans, widows, and the vulnerable—embracing our responsibility to stand up and step in when help is most needed.

A continuation of our Wednesday night study on hermeneutics
On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with the call between Trump and Xi last week, a subsequent call between Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and the PRC's ongoing tensions with Japan. Topics include: Conflicting reports surrounding both calls last week, PRC rhetoric that continues to escalate, contested history surrounding Okinawa, and PRC behavior that may be clarifying for the rest of the world. From there: Various points of emphasis at the Politburo study session on strengthening internet governance, DeepSeek's new AI model, and a recent Crowdstrike investigation that appears to highlight the risks of building on Chinese models. At the end: More bad news in the real estate sector as Vanke struggles make international news, waiting for the Central Economic Work Conference later this month, an FT op-ed makes Europe's trade problems clear while solutions remain elusive, and a note from a NASA employee adds context to a previous discussion on space rescues.
