If we could examine our love with a litmus test, what would be revealed? Drawing from Romans 12:9-21, Tim explores what sincere, maskless love really looks like and how it responds to the difficulties we face in life.
So, on this last episode of this series, we'll be discussing even more ways one can differentiate between true love and obsession

Though Heidi published her book as a yes to herself, she didn't expect how her story of 10 years of dating, 104 dates, and finding love after divorce would resonate with everyone from happily married couples to 20-somethings navigating modern dating. Heidi's message is simple but powerful: sometimes what feels like the worst luck in the world is actually setting you up for the best thing that will ever happen to you.They explore:Why karma is real, and why you have to do more than just sit on your couch and hope for the bestThe idea of "Good luck, bad luck, who knows?" and how it changes everything when life hands us setbacks Why giving to the universe what you want to get back actually works (yes, even for finding a husband)This is a conversation about hope, resilience, and trusting that our negative experiences may be exactly what needs to happen to lead us to our next "yes!"

This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to Season 3 when we first thought of the idea that would become our podcast, The Battle.What happens when two totally different songs share the exact same title? We built a “battle mix” to find out—pairing heavyweights and outliers across genres and decades—then we argue, analyze, and crown winners. From Go to Get Back, each round reveals how a single word can split into protest anthems, breakup arias, dance‑floor bliss, or guitar‑driven chaos.We kick off with Blink‑182 and The Black Keys on Go, weighing a bold tonal shift against a signature groove. Eurythmics steamroll Charles & Eddie on Would I Lie To You with brass, bite, and Annie Lennox's powerhouse vocal. True Love sparks a values debate: Angels & Airwaves deliver a soaring, cinematic build while Coldplay's “lie if you must” line clashes with the title. Roy Orbison's You Got It proves timeless compared to a New Kids on the Block time capsule. Then it's Growing Pains, as Alessia Cara's present‑tense anxiety meets Ludacris's reflective narrative—two coming‑of‑age angles, one title.The center of the card gets fiery. Green Day's Holiday channels mid‑2000s protest energy against Madonna's disco‑pop celebration. Rihanna's Take A Bow serves velvet‑gloved dismissal, while Muse opens an album with a synth‑rock chill that lingers. Tupac and The Beach Boys both claim I Get Around, one with effortless charisma and the other with historic chart significance. Foo Fighters' Run slams with near‑metal intensity, outpacing Snow Patrol's slow‑burn. Happy pits NF's candid mental‑health lens against Pharrell's pure joy machine—two roads to one feeling. And our main event, Get Back, throws Ludacris's peak hit‑maker energy against The Beatles' cultural gravity and complicated context. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/same-name-different-songs-mix/pl.u-JPAZEoJTLd7Y15jhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/1sCtai2Hujfbv9kZD0qnU9?si=779125752f4c4f3f Go by The Black KeysGo by blink-182Would I Lie To You?

Cinderellas Märchen wird für Carole Wirklichkeit: Als Mädchen aus einfachen Verhältnissen trifft sie einen echten Prinzen. Aus ihrer Begegnung mit Anthony aus dem polnischstämmigen Adelsgeschlecht der Radziwiłłs wird eine tiefe Liebe und aus einem Leben in der Arbeiterklasse ein Alltag zwischen Royals, Promis und dem Kennedy-Clan. Doch hinter Glanz und Glamour verbergen sich Herausforderungen, die selbst das schönste Märchen zerstören könnten: Anthonys seltene Krebserkrankung prägt die Ehe der beiden von Anfang an. Und gerade, als Carole sich auf das Unaussprechliche gefasst macht, reißt ihr ein weiterer Schicksalsschlag den Boden unter den Füßen weg.

#catholic #sermonSuperbowl billboard during halftime show: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love”. Comment on Twitter that got four million views: “Imagine getting mad about this and still thinking you're a good person”.But the halftime performer Bad Bunny was singing songs that were completely sensual and debased, and calling it love, while the dancers were cavorting in a perverse way on the stage.What we have here is a debate about the meaning of love. Both sides agree that love is good. But they disagree on what love is. One side believes that love is pleasure; the other side believes that love is sacrifice.Those who believe that love is pleasure think that any enjoyment that any two people have with one another is good, as long as there is mutual consent.They believe that all forms of pleasure should be tolerated and celebrated, just because of the fact that they provide pleasure.They believe that all those who criticize the idea that “love is pleasure” are engaging in hate because they say that such people are opposed to love.St. Augustine famously described these two competing ideas on love in his master work The City of God: “Two loves have built two cities: the love of self even to the despising of God, the city of the earth; the love of God even to the despising of self, the city of God. One glorifies itself in self, and the other in the Lord.”There is a famous Catholic manual on the spiritual life and it lays down two important principles on this topic of love that help guide us. (Tanquerey, par. 310-311)The first principle is that the essence of your perfection is charity. What this means is the primary thing that indicates your worth as a human being, your goodness, your value in the eyes of God, is your level of true love, the Catholic idea of love.We know that Our Lord confirms this in the Gospel when He says that the way we obtain everlasting life is by fulfilling to two great commandments of love of God and of neighbor.This is what St. Paul confirms in today's epistle wherein he seeks to prove that charity is the greatest of the virtues. He excludes the false notion of love when he says, “Charity is patient, is kind; charity does not envy, is not pretentious, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, is not self-seeking, is not provoked; thinks no evil, does not rejoice over wickedness, but rejoices with the truth.”Then he goes on to say that charity is the essence of our perfection by explaining that charity is the virtue that remains when we are in our perfect state, while faith and hope go away. “There remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity”. That is where our perfection lies.The reason why our perfection lies in charity is that supernatural charity unites us directly to God. There is nothing that unites us more to God that true supernatural charity. But our whole perfection is in uniting ourselves with God. That is what makes us perfect.The second principle that we must understand about love is that love requires sacrifice. We do not subscribe to this false notion of love wherein love consists in giving yourself pleasure, wherein using another person for your enjoyment is considered our perfection.
It's the official day of romance (at least according to Hallmark Cards). Valentine's Day bring up feelings of love and adoration, moments of affection, gifts to show one's heartfelt emotions for another. But February 14th doesn't always bring the warm and fuzzies. Sometimes the day brings tragedy, heartbreak, or just something of the bizarre and strange.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:10.731 = A Freak Love Story00:11:12.851 = Ghost Love Stories ***00:27:41.588 = Bloody Story Behind Valentine's Day ***00:32:00.771 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakHELPFUL LINKS & RESOURCES…https://WeirdDarkness.com/STORE = Tees, Mugs, Socks, Hoodies, Totes, Hats, Kidswear & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/HOPE = Hope For Depression or Thoughts of Self-Harmhttps://WeirdDarkness.com/NEWSLETTER = In-Depth Articles, Memes, Weird DarkNEWS, Videos & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/AUDIOBOOKS = FREE Audiobooks Narrated By Darren Marlar SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“A Freak Love Story” by Rachel Souerbry for Ranker.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4kr4ep45“Ghost Love Stories” posted at NotebookOfGhosts.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/345vwf54, and BurroughsOfTheDead.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4hcjbps8“The Bloody Story Behind Valentine's Day” by Avani Raj for ED Times: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/c759fnnyWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Resentment quietly destroys relationships. You may still love the person, but you're replaying the words, holding onto the moment, or keeping mental receipts. The Bible teaches that love keeps no record of wrongs, but forgiveness feels impossible when you've been deeply hurt. This message shows how true love forgives, how to release resentment, and how to stop letting past pain control your future. If you're struggling to forgive someone — or even yourself — this sermon will help you find freedom. In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches what it really means to forgive from the heart and why grace is the only way relationships survive. In this sermon, you'll learn: How to forgive someone who keeps hurting you What “love keeps no record of wrongs” actually means The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation Why bitterness is silently damaging your relationship How to release resentment without ignoring real hurt How to stop replaying past offenses You can't build intimacy while holding onto receipts. You can't move forward while reopening closed cases. And you can't walk in freedom while dragging chains from the past. True love doesn't operate like a courtroom. It operates like a cross. When forgiveness flows, healing follows.
Relationship is meant to be about two hearts and not one.When a relationship/marriage starts being about me instead of us, it will begin to show signs of obsession because true love is never about one person but both persons in the relationship.

Liebe Lovies, zum diesjährigen Valentinstag haben wir eine besondere Zusatzfolge für euch aufgenommen – bei Spotify könnt ihr sie sogar als Videopodcast sehen! Diese Geschichte beginnt – wie sollte es anders sein – mit Herzklopfen. Rachels Herz pocht schneller, als das Flugzeug mit einem leichten Ruck auf dem Boden aufsetzt und die helle Stimme der Stewardess durch die Maschine schallt: „Welcome to Vienna!“ Rachel lächelt. Alles fühlt sich perfekt an. Sie ist 24, frisch von der Schauspielschule in New York, und hat gerade ihre erste Rolle in einem Theaterstück ergattert. Die nächsten sechs Wochen wird sie in gleich mehreren europäischen Städten auf der Bühne stehen. Doch Rachel will auf dieser Reise nicht nur arbeiten. Sie will ihren Hot Girl Summer: flirten, knutschen, tanzen, sich frei fühlen. Und das tut sie. Bis sie einem Mann begegnet, der alles durcheinanderbringt. In unserer Valentinstagsfolge erzählen wir Rachels Liebesgeschichte und sprechen über das Leben mit Anfang 20: eine Phase, in der alles möglich erscheint und in der man versucht seinen Platz in der Welt zu finden.

Og hvad hvis historien primært bliver fortalt af rumskibets AI – en ældre model der konstant bekymrer sig om sin “efficiency percentage” og ikke rigtig forstår mennesker? Det er præmissen i Barbara Trueloves Of Monsters and Mainframes, en science fiction-gyser der blander klassiske monstre med AI-humor og en god portion intertekstuelle referencer. Om Barbara Truelove Barbara Truelove er australsk forfatter og game designer, og hun har åbenlyst en ting med varulve. Hendes første roman Crying Wolf (2021) handlede om tvillinger der opdager de er varulve. I 2023 lavede hun det interaktive tekstspil Blood Moon, hvor plotlinjen er: “Du er en varulv.” Og så kom Of Monsters and Mainframes i 2025. Hun fortæller selv at inspirationen kom fra at læse Bram Stokers Dracula og Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries samtidigt. Men sandheden er mere rodet end det: “Dracula er en del af blandingen, ja, og det samme er Murderbot, men det samme er Universal Monsters, autopiloten i en Airbus, R2D2, min erfaring med at programmere interaktive spil og (måske mest af alt) mit liv i 2022.” Bogen blev nomineret til Goodreads Choice Award i kategorien Science Fiction og har over 9.000 ratings med gennemsnit på 4,09. Demeter – rumfærgen der ikke forstår mennesker Vores “hovedperson” er Demeter. Demeter er ikke en alvidende HAL-AI. Hun er primært bygget til at styre rumfærgen sikkert mellem stjernerne. Hun kan navigere uden om kometer og håndtere tekniske kriser. Men mennesker? Det er en helt anden sag. Når varulv-angrebet rammer og børnene Agnus og Isaac flygter op på broen efter deres bedstemor har forvandlet sig, går kommunikationen ikke så godt. “It’s just a dumb AI, Isaac,” siger Agnus. Demeter reagerer prompte: “I am not lacking intelligence. You are using words marked as moderately offensive. This is antisocial behavior.” Børnene bliver stille. “I am Demeter. I am the ship. I am your friend. Report your injuries.” De begynder at lave lyde i lavt volumen. Demeters systemer kan ikke oversætte det. “How’s it going?” spørger Steward, den medicinske AI. “I wish I could lie,” svarer Demeter. “Humans are hard.” Det er denne kamp med at forstå mennesker – og begrænsningerne i hendes algoritmer – der gør Demeter interessant. Hun er dybt inkompetent til menneskelig interaktion, og det meste af tiden prøver hun bare at undgå at forholde sig til sine passagerer. Bedstemoderen med de store tænder Et af bogens bedre øjeblikke er varulv-scenen. Børnenes bedstemor forvandler sig ved et uheld, og pludselig står Demeter i en desperat kamp for at redde Agnus og Isaac. Hun får varulven lokket ind i en luftsluse. Men så forvandler den sig tilbage til bedstemor – desperat, menneskelig, helt forsvarsløs. Demeter er bundet af den første robotlov (Asimov): ingen AI må skade et menneske. Men der er et kort øjeblik hvor bedstemoderen bliver til skygge – i overgangen mellem former. I præcis det øjeblik reagerer Demeter prompte og åbner luftslussen. Bogen lader det ligge i det uvisse om bedstemoderen selv også trykker på knappen. Det er et af de øjeblikke hvor Demeter teknisk set handler inden for sine regler – men samtidig… ja, du ved. Steward overtager – og tror det er nemt Da Demeter er lukket ned, og rumfærgen skal tilbage til Jorden, bliver opgaver overladt til Steward. Den medicinske AI beslutter sig for at overtage styringen af rumskibet. Hvor svært kan det være? “You know what? Being an autopilot isn’t all that hard. I don’t know why Demeter seemed so stressed all the time. It’s day one of our journey, and we haven’t crashed yet.” Der var dog en lille bump ved afgang. Men det var ikke Stewards skyld. Dokken bevægede sig. I hvert fald tror Steward det. “I don’t exactly speak exterior sensor. They seem very alarmed all the time, constantly screaming in a strange, disjointed dialect of JavaScript.” Stewards plan? “Embrace my managerial role and endeavor to do as little as possible. The subsystems will sort it out.” Det er morsomt at følge Stewards overmodige forsøg på at være kaptajn. Som de fleste læger tror Steward de kan lidt af det hele. En leg med referencer – men måske for fragmenteret Barbara Truelove har åbenlyst haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive den her bog. Hun fortæller selv at reglerne var: smid et monster ombord, prøv at få så mange jokes og referencer til monsterets populærkulturelle historie ind som muligt, og tænk over hvordan det ville fungere i rummet. Der er masser af sjove detaljer. Skibet der transporterer Dracula til London i Bram Stokers bog hedder også Demeter. Wilhelmina Murray er Jonathan Harkers forlovede i Dracula. I bogens fem dele er der binær kode der oversættes til små jokes som “Artificial is the best kind of intelligent” og “I have never seen electric sheep.” Det er meget hyggeligt. Men det er også lidt som om bogen ikke helt selv ved hvor den er på vej hen. Anders beskriver det som om Barbara har skrevet 121 scener med monstre og rum-AI, blandet kortene, og så forsøgt at strikke en rød tråd på den måde stykkerne landede. Den fornemmelse er der lidt af. Action-scenerne er heller ikke bogens styrke. De er lidt svære at følge med i – hvem gør hvad, hvornår, hvorhenne og hvorfor. Det føles som dårlige Marvel-action-scener, hvor man mister fornemmelsen af, hvad der foregår. Det fede – og det mindre fede Det fede ved bogen er AI’erne og deres interne dynamikker. Demeter og Steward der slås om hvem der er klogere. Steward der er træt af at blive slukket midt i sætninger med “priority override.” Den scene hvor Agnus kommer tilbage efter 15 år på Jorden og skal rejse med Demeter igen? Rørende. Skibet er blevet totalt refurbished, og Agnus genkender først slet ikke Demeter. Det øjeblik hvor hun skraber overfladen af og finder sin barndoms AI-mor – det er faktisk ret godt. Men karaktererne er lidt flade. Selv Agnus, som er tættest på en hovedperson, er lidt bleg. Og monstrene? De er sjove nok som pop-kultur-jokes, men ikke særlig interessante som karakterer. Det er underholdning så længe det varer – fed til en togtur – men ikke en der skal læses igen. Vurderingen Jens: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg synes jeg var godt underholdt. Det var et sjovt take, og jeg hyggede mig med alle de mange referencer. Det er ikke stor litteratur. Men af og til er det rart med noget let og fornøjeligt. Synes Demeters kamp med at forstå mennesker var kongesjov og også dens kollegiale kampe med Steward AI’en.” Anders: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg applauderer Barbara for at have fået en sjov idé og åbenlyst have haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive bogen. Men jeg var sært ligeglad med karaktererne, selvom Demeter og Steward havde deres øjeblikke. Jeg synes der var alt for meget fokus på ligegyldig action, og historien var alt for fragmenteret uden en god fornemmelse af udvikling.” Bogen minder os om Stefano Benni’s Terra – skør, vild og kreativ science fiction. Og selvfølgelig Blindsight af Peter Watts, som også har vampyrer i rummet. Adrian Tchaikovskys Service Model har også klare paralleller med robotter der forsøger at forstå sig selv og omverden. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Of Monsters and Mainframes. Shownotes til episoden om Of Monsters and Mainframes Siden sidst Anders Har set Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein på Netflix – meget teatralsk og med store armebevægelser. Kulisserne er for vilde. Den er lidt i stil med Dracula-filmatiseringen med Gary Oldman. Meget Guillermo del Toro-stil – hvis man er til det, er den vellykket. Anders gav den 6 ud af 10. Har læst The Other Valley af Scott Alexander Howard – en tidsrejsebog med meget lidt science i den. Vi lever i et mærkeligt parallelunivers hvor en by ligger i en dal. I dalen østpå lever de 20 år ude i fremtiden, i dalen vestpå 20 år tilbage i tiden. Meget strenge regler for at man ikke må gå frem og tilbage. Velskrevet og medrivende historie. Jens Har læst The Mercy of Gods af James S.A. Corey – Expanse-forfatterne er tilbage med en helt ny verden. Anbefalet af Søren Bjørn. Mercy of Gods foregår i en fjern fremtid på en planet hvor befolkningen kun har myter om koloniseringen. Vi er blandt videnskabsfolk som forsker i hvordan inkompatible træer af liv kan samleve. Men planeten bliver pludselig invaderet af en alien race – kæmpe hummer/knæler-agtige typer. Menneskeheden bliver sat på prøve for at se om man kan være en nyttig undersåt-race. Og samtidig går det op for os at der er en kæmpe galaktisk krig igang, og en af menneskene er blevet overtaget af en sværm af nanorobotter! Trailer ude for Ryan Gosling i rollen som Ryland Grace i Project Hail Mary af Andy Weir. Kommer i biffen den 20/3. Traileren spoiler bogen helt vildt, og der er kommet en masse action-scener som ikke findes i bogen. Lytternes input Masser af gode kommentarer fra kommentarfeltet om de gode læseoplevelser i 2025. Hennings top 3/2025: “Dying inside” af Robert Silverberg, 1972, om en ældre telepat der gradvist mister sin tankelæserevne. “Hard landing” af Algis Budrys, 1993, om hvordan en besætning fra en forulykket UFO forsøger at glide ind i og camouflere sig i det jordiske samfund. “Dark is the Sun”, af Philip Jose Farmer, 1979, om en Jord millioner af år ude i fremtiden, hvor Solen er ved at brænde sammen. Som Henning selv siger: “Det er eddermame nogle deprimerende indskud.” Frederik Aarup Lauritsen delte sin top 3 for 2025: Stiftelsen af Isaac Asimov, Station 11 af Emily St. John Mandel og Efter London af Richard Jefferies – en tussegammel post-apokalyptisk bog fra 1885. Kristofferabild har ikke så meget tid til at læse Sci-Fi for tiden – er gået en lille smule i stå med Count Zero. I 2025 var det bedste han (gen)læste Rendezvous With Rama, Restaurant At The End of The Universe og Murderbot 2 og 3. Michael har ikke fået læst så meget SF sidste år, men var sært glad ved Krystalverdenen af J.G. Ballard, The Ministry of Time på vores anbefaling – “det var jo næsten en hel hjertevarm sag – sjov at komme i gang med noget romance!” – og til sidst Jordboer af Sayaka Murata, som nok er en snitter i forhold til ren SF, men en tour de force i japansk dagligliv, body horror og nogle måske rumvæsner. “Prøv det. Den er crazy!” Majbritt Høyrup gjorde opmærksom på at Elle Cordova behandler The Power i sin blogklub. Hun vil anbefale to vidunderlige novellesamlinger af Ursula K. LeGuin: The Birthday of the World og Changing Planes. Lise bidrog med sine tre bedste bøger: American Elsewhere af Robert Jackson Bennett: Starter som Twin Peaks, går over i H. P. Lovecraft. En kvinde arver et hus i en by, som ikke findes på noget kort. Cosmicomics af Italo Calvino: Vi følger universets og Jordens tilblivelse gennem væsner/grundstoffer og deres oplevelser, interaktioner og kærlighed. En fin og underfundig lille novellesamling. The Prestige af Christopher Priest: En overraskende god bog. Hun har set filmen, men bogen er meget anderledes – hele det spekulative element fylder mere, og historien er langt mere mystisk. Næste gang Anders vælger næste bog: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus fra 1818. Den fås gratis som Project Gutenberg Public Domain e-pop eller PDF. Man taler tit om den som den første moderne science fiction-bog, så den er nærmest pensum for SCIFI SNAK. Jens har tidligere syntes den var røvkedelig, men er nu klar til at prøve igen – måske er han et andet menneske nu.

The Bible calls believers to lay down selfishness, not their God-given dignity, worth, or safety. Sacrificial love is holy; destructive love is not.
From the silver screen to the small screen to the little black book, many have tried and failed to find true love. Usually, because they don't know what true love means. If you really want to know what true love is, why not go to the One who created us in the first place? That's what Ron does today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
BNR POD True Love vs Money Are Men Being Taken Advantage Of in Relationships.
In this episode I dive into a teaching that can help us understand the difference between solid and sturdy love versus insecure attachment (or filling a void).In the midst of the gender discourse, conversations about love and humanity can get skipped over. There is a foundational human-ness that exists in men and women that is found through trust, respect, and appreciation that must exist first. Then we can layer the masculinity and femininity conversations on top of this.Listen in to learn about where most modern relationships go wrong, the two human souls, how healing works, where masculine and feminine energy comes in, why the Sound of Music is a great example of true love in film, and much more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro02:40 — Why The Sound of Music still resonates05:25 — Remembering impact over details08:05 — When ideals clash with reality10:47 — Admiration, respect, and integrity13:30 — The voids shaped by childhood16:13 — How pain turns into darkness18:52 — Reflection and pause21:37 — What a trustworthy man looks like24:58 — Integrating the lesson27:01 — Outro___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

Most relationships don't fail because of betrayal or finances—they fail because of broken communication. This message is Part 2 of our series on love and relationships, and it reveals the #1 reason love breaks down: people stop feeling heard, seen, and safe. Scripture shows us that true love starts with how we listen, speak, and respond. If you're tired of the cycle of conflict, silence, or feeling misunderstood, this sermon will help you rebuild connection God's way. In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church continues his “Truth About True Love” series with a powerful word on how communication reveals the health of our love—and how healing begins with how we listen. In this sermon, you'll learn: Why communication—not adultery or finances—is the real relationship killer How listening first can rebuild safety and trust in marriage What Scripture says about speaking slowly and guarding your tone How to manage anger before it destroys connection Why feeling unheard is often the root of resentment and distance Because love doesn't always shout. Sometimes, love just listens.

Astrid Lindgren trägt ihre Kindheit so fest in ihrem Herzen, dass sie nur die Augen schließen muss, um die Bilder jener glücklichen Tage heraufzubeschwören. Sie liebt Bücher – und die Kreativität, die aus ihnen sprüht. Aus dieser Liebe zur Kindheit entstehen später Figuren, die Millionen Kinder prägen und Erwachsenen bis heute Halt geben: Pippi Langstrumpf, Ronja Räubertochter, Michel aus Lönneberga. Astrid Lindgren und ihre Bücher erlauben uns, wieder Kind zu sein. Zu lernen, sich zu widersetzen, Verantwortung zu übernehmen, nach der eigenen Moral zu handeln – und die Welt selbst zu deuten. In dieser Folge nehmen wir euch mit in die wundervolle Welt der Astrid Lindgren. Eine Produktion von Auf Ex Productions.

Ps. Marco and Natalie kick off the Assembly Required series with a raw, faith-filled conversation about building healthy, God-centered marriages the right way—by following God's blueprint, not culture's shortcuts. In this message they unpack love, respect, forgiveness, and what it really means to die to self daily for the sake of your relationship. This message is a hopeful, practical call to rebuild, strengthen, and grow your marriage—no matter what season you're in.
Most of us were never taught love—we absorbed it. Through movies, music, social media, and even past pain, we picked up a version of love that feels good but fails us. We crave intimacy but end up in confusion. Why? Because we've built our relationships on a broken definition of love. In this powerful sermon, you'll discover what God actually says about love—and why holiness, boundaries, and covenant are essential if you want love that lasts. Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches what real, godly love looks like—and how to unlearn the lies culture has sold us. In this sermon, you'll learn: Why your definition of love might be the root of your relationship struggles How culture's version of love feeds selfishness instead of sacrifice What Scripture actually says about love, boundaries, and holiness Why real love starts with God's character, not our chemistry How covenant—not feelings—is the foundation of lasting love What it means to love with honor, patience, and devotion So what if the love you've been chasing isn't the love your soul truly needs? This message calls us out of culture's chaos and back to the heart of God—where love isn't just a feeling, but a foundation strong enough to weather every storm. True love doesn't fade. It reflects the One who never fails.
In the Bible, God performed two wedding ceremonies in paradise; one at the beginning of history and one at the beginning of eternity. And every wedding in between is a reenactment of the first wedding between Adam and Eve and a rehearsal for the second wedding between Christ and the Church. A wedding is an echo of Eden and a hint of heaven; a glimpse of the Garden and a foretaste of forever. While marriage is a gracious gift that God provided for us to enjoy during our lives here on earth, it serves primarily as a preview of our marriage to Christ in heaven and to prepare us for that glorious wedding day. In light of eternity our earthly marriages are temporary and momentary and point to a much greater, far more satisfying and everlasting relationship with Jesus Christ. He is our one true love for whom we wait.

“I wrote 'The Reason' for my wife, whom I met on a dating app (thank you Raya), fell in love, and got married by Elvis in Vegas on New Year's Eve. It is a song about finding true love. This song is my promise to her, that I'll be the love she never has to question, the kind that lasts. The kind of love everyone deserves to find.”From a young age, Nate stood out for his soulful voice, and his drive to find connection and belonging through music. At twelve amidst the complexities of growing up, music became both a sanctuary and a guiding light for Nate. He recalls discovering his family's old karaoke machine and guitars, sparking a lifelong love for performing. “I found this Elvis karaoke tape and recorded myself singing, and something just clicked,” he says.What started in a basement with a cassette recorder quickly evolved into high school talent shows, local gigs, and a professional path that led him to the vibrant Twin Cities live music scene. While cover bands became his livelihood, performing five nights a week for two decades; it was original songwriting that gave him a deeper sense of purpose. “I loved singing every night, but I always knew I had more to say and to tell my own story,” he reflects.That creative drive eventually led to meaningful milestones, including a performance on The Voice, releasing his own projects and touring with the iconic Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In recent years, Nate has embraced a new chapter, one defined by personal healing and artistic reinvention like his everpopular weekly show “Tunes at Noon” where he goes live on socials and performs weekly for his fans in real time.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Pippi Langstrumpf ist ganz klar unsere Kindheitsheldin. Das starke, mutige, freche Mädchen, eine Romanfigur von Astrid Lindgren. Ihre roten Haare, die Sommersprossen, die Villa Kunterbunt, ihre Abenteuer: alles frei erfunden – oder? Nicht ganz. Heute erzählen wir euch die Geschichte der echten Pippi Langstrumpf. Ester Blenda Nordström ist wohl die mutigste Reporterin, von der wir je gehört haben. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts rast sie nicht nur mit ihrem Motorrad durch Stockholm, sondern auch den spannendsten Geschichten des Landes hinterher. Sie tut etwas, das vor ihr noch kein schwedischer Journalist – und erst recht keine schwedische Journalistin – gewagt hat: Sie geht für ihre Reportagen undercover. Klingt ein bisschen nach Pippi Langstrumpf? Das ist ganz bestimmt kein Zufall. Ob sich Astrid Lindgren tatsächlich von der mutigen Reporterin Ester Blenda Nordström inspirieren ließ, beleuchten wir in dieser Folge von True Love. Eine Produktion von Auf Ex Productions.

Part 1In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches kick off Season 4 with real talk about what it actually takes to build a regulated, connected life and marriage. They share behind-the-scenes updates on their growing community, retreats, and content, including the upcoming “I Am Whole” women's retreat with seminars on feminine embodiment, devotional motherhood and wifehood, shadow work, nervous system regulation, and self-liberation. If you're craving feminine energy work, women's retreats, self-care, and practical marriage tools from a husband and wife who actually live this, this conversation sets the tone for intentional growth in 2026 and beyond. From there, they dive deep into a YouTube comment about a defensive husband with childhood trauma and unpack what “30 years of conditioning” really means, how reactivity forms, and how to talk to a defensive partner without blowing up the relationship. Using real examples from their marriage and a powerful email from a Patreon member in a 22-year trauma-bonded relationship, they tackle the hard questions: how to stop living in survival mode, how to break generational trauma for your kids, what the roommate phase really is, when you're just not trying versus when it's actually time to let go, and how to rebuild intimacy by choice, not by accident. If you've ever wondered whether to stay, leave, or fight for your marriage, this episode gives you grounded marriage advice, communication scripts, mindset shifts, and perspective on healing trauma in relationships so you can make a clear, conscious decision about your future.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.
