Podcasts about tulips

In this episode, we welcome Pastor Mark Hitchcock to the studio. He has served as the Senior Pastor of Faith Bible Church (Kyle's home church) in Edmond, OK for 34 years. He is also a Research Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary. In this interview, we discuss how God directed him into ministry, why many American seminaries are shutting down or moving in a very liberal direction, why he has only shepherded one flock for his entire career, the one part of TULIP that he does not agree with, if baptism is essential for salvation, if children that die in utero or at a young age are saved, what he thinks aliens are, how a pastor should handle political matters, if he thinks Satan took the form of a snake or a dragon in the garden of Eden, how Islam connects with end times prophecy, and much more.

What if salvation begins with God moving toward us, not us inching toward Him? We take a straight path through TULIP—total depravity, unconditional election, definite atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints—and show how each point rises from Scripture and fits together as a coherent, hope-filled view of how God saves. No smoke, no inside baseball—just clear terms, honest pushback, and the verses that carry the weight.We start by reframing human nature. Total depravity isn't “as bad as possible,” it's “every part affected,” which explains why the option to choose God exists but the desire does not. From there, election becomes mercy: if everyone runs from the light, God's choice is rescue, not favoritism. Romans, Ephesians, and John set the anchor points, while we tackle common objections about fairness, foreknowledge, and God's will. Along the way we keep the tone pastoral—humility over hot takes, clarity over tribal lines.Then we ask what the cross actually accomplished. Definite atonement insists Christ's death truly saves the people He came for; it's sufficient for all, targeted to the elect, and never fails. Irresistible grace explains how dead hearts come alive—regeneration before faith—so belief is a Spirit-born response, not a self-started project. And perseverance closes the loop: those God calls, He keeps. Assurance shifts from fragile self-confidence to sturdy promises—no one can snatch us from His hand. Far from killing mission, this theology fuels it. God uses means—preaching, prayer, everyday conversations—so we step into evangelism with steel in our spine and love in our tone.If Calvinism has felt like a trigger word or a maze of jargon, this walkthrough offers a reliable map, with Scripture at every turn and real-life implications for assurance, unity, and courage. Listen, reflect, and bring your hardest verses and questions.

Tulipán & zsálya - Új időszaki kiállítás a Hagyományok Házában

Talking Real Money opens with a stark illustration of why Bitcoin fails as a usable currency, showing how volatility can destroy real-life budgets overnight. Don and Tom compare crypto to historic speculative bubbles, argue that stability—not hype—is the core function of money, and dismantle the “store of value” narrative. The show then shifts to practical listener calls covering CD ladders, Treasury yields, retirement readiness, estate planning, and early-retirement balance. Throughout, they emphasize boring, diversified, evidence-based investing over speculation, reminding listeners that long-term financial security comes from discipline, planning, and emotional restraint—not chasing the next hot trend. 0:04 Bitcoin paycheck scenario and real-world income collapse 1:04 Currency volatility vs. household budgeting reality 2:22 Bitcoin's 45% drop and “currency vs. speculation” argument 3:24 Hyperinflation examples and why stability matters 4:03 “Greater fool” theory and vanishing crypto hype 4:47 Why Bitcoin fails as a functional currency 5:59 Tulip mania and historical bubbles comparison 6:59 Tangible assets vs. pure speculation 7:39 “At least you can live in a house” argument 8:26 Michael Saylor, HODL culture, and empty promises 9:30 NFT collapse and Beeple example 10:11 Crypto returns vs. real assets 11:14 Listener question: CDs vs. Treasuries 12:22 Current CD rates and Bankrate reference 13:56 Risks of long-term bonds and rate changes 15:32 Don's real CD ladder example 16:37 Fixed income diversification strategy 18:35 Hot money leaving crypto for prediction markets 19:45 Generational blind spots and bubble psychology 21:08 Retirement planning call: housing proceeds and savings 23:57 Social Security timing and cash-flow planning 25:41 Importance of fee-only fiduciary planning 27:32 Vernita Toll Bridge digression (classic TRM) 30:33 Estate planning: wills vs. trusts 33:49 RetireMeet promotion and resources 35:43 FIRE listener call: saving vs. living balance 38:58 Permission to spend responsibly Learn more about your ad choices.

Send a textWhat if the security you crave doesn't hinge on your grip, but on God's? We dive straight into the heart of assurance and ask the disruptive question that reshapes the whole journey: does grace come before belief, or after? Starting from God's character—not our fluctuating resolve—we explore why the Holy Spirit does not abandon those He indwells, and how Jesus' words “with man it is impossible” reframe salvation as God's work from start to finish.We share vivid testimonies—from years under a works-heavy, fear-soaked system to the relief of discovering that faith is a gift, not a gamble. Along the way, we sift clichés about “choosing God,” contrasting arbitrary preference with Spirit-opened conviction that you can't unsee, like trying to stop believing in the color blue. Scripture anchors every step, especially Matthew 19, while the sweep of church history—from Augustine and Ambrose to the debates that shaped TULIP—shows these tensions aren't new. They are the recurring crossroads where sovereignty meets human pride.Together we press into a tough but freeing truth: the will makes choices, but only the Son makes you free. From Eden's garden to Job's trust under fire, the pattern holds—God designs, calls, and keeps. Faith is the key to God's house, and He's the one who places it in your hand. If you're weary of anxious striving or confused by competing claims about election, free will, and perseverance, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and a steady place to stand.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's wrestling through assurance, and leave a review to help more listeners find a deeper rest in sovereign grace.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Cominciamo con il numero uno:Negroni.È un aperitivo alcolico, molto forte ideato da un conte fiorentino, il conte Camillo Negroni che negli anni Ventiaveva l'abitudine di andare nel bar Caffè Casoni per bere un aperitivo, il suo Americano. Non era però piùsoddisfatto della sua bevanda a base di vermut rosso (che è un vino aromatizzato nato a Torino nel diciottesimosecolo), bitter Campari e soda e così chiese al suo barista di mettere del gin al posto della soda.

Author Nancy Johnson joins us to discuss People of Means, our February Book Club selection for Black History Month, a powerful, moving dual-timeline novel.Nancy Johnson joins Book Gang to discuss her richly layered second novel, which explores race, class, ambition, and resistance in 1960s Nashville and 1992 Chicago, offering readers a perfectly baked reading experience for Black History Month.In this deeply thoughtful conversation, Nancy reflects on writing a novel that spans decades—from the Jim Crow South and the Fisk University protest movement to the corporate corridors of the early 1990s and the aftermath of the Rodney King verdict. We talk about generational inheritance, the pressures of Black excellence, and the quiet, everyday decisions that shape history just as much as headline-making acts of protest.Nancy also shares what it was like to speak at Fisk University, a moment that mirrors the heart of People of Means, and how beginning her fiction career later in life shaped both her confidence and her creative freedom. From navigating second-novel pressure to crafting two distinct voices for Freda and Tulip, this conversation offers insight into both the craft of writing and the moral questions at the center of the book.In this enlightening conversation, we explore:

Milyen a nemzeti parki whisky, és egyéb kulisszatitkok.Megszoktuk, hogy a szakértők komoly témákról nyilatkoznak, amik sajnos gyakran a lakosságnak csak egy szűk részét érdeklik: beszorulunk a saját elefántcsont-tornyunkba, szinte magunkhoz beszélünk.

Can technology actually make shopping feel more personal? Recorded live at NRF 2026, this RETHINK Retail Podcast moves past the AI hype to focus on the people behind the counter. Host Michael Klein is joined by David Weissman from Tulip, Rissa Jarrat from Jenni Kayne, and Kimberly Levine from TUMI for a candid conversation about the future of clienteling. In a world of digital noise, these leaders are using AI to bring back the "little black book" of retail, at scale: - The "Gift of Time": How TUMI uses technology to free up associates so they can focus on the person standing in front of them. - Authenticity First: Why Jenni Kayne prioritizes "reading the room" over automated messaging. - Million-Dollar Performers: What happens when you give every associate the tools to build their own book of business. This isn't just about efficiency; it's about making sure the "human" stays at the heart of your brand.

Donate a coffee (1€)? https://ko-fi.com/italiano Livello #A2#scuola #italia #vacanze #laurea #studiesCome funziona la scuola in Italia e quando sono le vacanze scolastiche Buongiorno cari amici e amanti dell'italiano e bentornati al nostro podcast Tulip.Buon anno nuovo e oggi si riparte con tanti nuovi episodi per il 2026.Molti miei studenti mi chiedono quando ci sono le vacanze in Italia e come queste siano collegate alla scuola e così oggi vi voglio parlare del sistema scolastico italiano.Cominciamo subito col dire che i bambini piccoli, se i genitori lavorano, vengono portati all'asilo nido, che è il posto dove possono stare i bambini piccolissimi dai tre mesi fino ai tre anni di età. A tre anni i bambini di solito vanno alla scuola materna, anche detta la scuola dell'infanzia oppure anche asilo, una parola piuttosto vecchia per descrivere il posto dove i bambini dai tre ai sei anni possono giocare, fare dei piccoli lavoretti, dormire, imparare a socializzare con altri bambini. La scuola materna, Kindergarten è gestista dallo Stato, oppure da ordini religiosi o da privati.All'età di sei anni comincia per tutti la scuola elementare che dura cinque anni. Si chiama ufficialmente la scuola primaria ma da tutti è conosciuta come scuola elementare. La parola „scuola primaria“ deriva dal francese e si è diffusa soprattutto nei paesi anglosassoni con „primary school“. Nella lingua parlata in Italia invece diciamo „scuola elementare“ perché ......- The full transcript of this Episode (and excercises for many of the grammar episodes) is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

Reformed theology has become increasingly influential among younger Christians—but many still struggle to understand what it actually teaches and whether it reflects Scripture faithfully. In this episode, Rowan Miller and Pastor Don Patterson are joined by college senior Noah Miller to examine the Calvinist and Arminian perspectives on salvation. The conversation unpacks the TULIP framework, discusses preaching influences like Tim Keller and John Piper, and explores difficult questions surrounding election, atonement, assurance, and human responsibility. Along the way, the group reflects on mentorship, accountability, and how theological convictions shape real-world faith—especially during major life transitions like college and early adulthood. This episode is designed for listeners who want clarity, not slogans—and who are willing to think carefully about what they believe and why.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Tulips and Serendipity: An Urban Market Encounter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2026-01-17-08-38-20-nl Story Transcript:Nl: De winterzon scheen bleek over de drukke markt van Amsterdam.En: The winter sun shone pale over the busy market of Amsterdam.Nl: Het was een koude ochtend, maar de warmte kwam van de mensen die haastig van kraam naar kraam slenterden.En: It was a cold morning, but the warmth came from the people who hurriedly strolled from stall to stall.Nl: De lucht was gevuld met de geur van versgebakken brood, pittige kazen en de bittere prik van koffie.En: The air was filled with the scent of freshly baked bread, spicy cheeses, and the bitter touch of coffee.Nl: Tussen de geluiden van kwebbelende mensen en de zachte muziek in de achtergrond, stonden Bram en Anouk bij dezelfde bloemenkraam.En: Among the sounds of chattering people and soft music in the background, Bram and Anouk stood at the same flower stall.Nl: Bram, een grafisch ontwerper aan het begin van de dertig, had besloten zijn zaterdag anders te besteden.En: Bram, a graphic designer in his early thirties, had decided to spend his Saturday differently.Nl: Weg van de computer, op zoek naar echte interacties.En: Away from the computer, in search of real interactions.Nl: Anouk, een journalist met een passie voor duurzaam leven, struinde de markt af op zoek naar nieuwe ideeën voor haar artikel.En: Anouk, a journalist with a passion for sustainable living, was scouring the market in search of new ideas for her article.Nl: Hun handen strekten zich gelijktijdig uit naar de laatste bos tulpen.En: Their hands simultaneously reached out for the last bunch of tulips.Nl: "Oh, pardon!"En: "Oh, pardon!"Nl: zei Bram, terwijl hij zijn hand terugdeinsde.En: said Bram, as he withdrew his hand.Nl: Hij keek verlegen naar Anouk, die zijn blik opving en glimlachte.En: He looked shyly at Anouk, who caught his gaze and smiled.Nl: "Geen probleem," antwoordde Anouk vriendelijk.En: "No problem," Anouk replied kindly.Nl: Ze keek naar het smeltende sneeuwdek op de bladeren van de tulpen.En: She looked at the melting snow cover on the leaves of the tulips.Nl: "Tulpen zijn zo mooi, zelfs in de winter."En: "Tulips are so beautiful, even in winter."Nl: Bram knikte.En: Bram nodded.Nl: Hij wilde graag meer zeggen, maar woorden vond hij lastig.En: He wanted to say more, but found words difficult.Nl: Uiteindelijk, na enkele seconden van aarzeling, waagde hij een poging.En: Finally, after a few seconds of hesitation, he ventured a try.Nl: "Ik probeer mijn leven buiten het internet om te verrijken.En: "I'm trying to enrich my life outside of the internet.Nl: Ik werk veel met digitale beelden, maar niets kan de schoonheid van de natuur vervangen."En: I work a lot with digital images, but nothing can replace the beauty of nature."Nl: Anouk keek hem nieuwsgierig aan.En: Anouk looked at him curiously.Nl: "Ik schrijf over duurzaamheid en tuinieren in stedelijke omgevingen.En: "I write about sustainability and gardening in urban environments.Nl: Misschien hebben we wel meer gemeen dan we denken."En: Maybe we have more in common than we think."Nl: Bram voelde een warme gloed in zijn buik.En: Bram felt a warm glow in his stomach.Nl: Hier was iemand die zijn interesse begreep.En: Here was someone who understood his interest.Nl: "Ik werk samen met een gemeenschapstuin niet ver van hier," zei hij, zijn moed verzamelend.En: "I work with a community garden not far from here," he said, gathering his courage.Nl: "Als je wilt, kun je een keer langskomen.En: "If you'd like, you could come by sometime.Nl: Het is echt inspirerend."En: It's truly inspiring."Nl: Anouk dacht even na.En: Anouk thought for a moment.Nl: Ze had een eerste indruk gehad van Bram, een van scepticisme, maar nu zag ze dat hij oprecht was.En: She had a first impression of Bram, one of skepticism, but now she saw that he was sincere.Nl: Misschien konden ze elkaar helpen.En: Maybe they could help each other.Nl: "Ik zou het heel graag willen zien," antwoordde ze oplucht.En: "I would love to see it," she answered with relief.Nl: "Het kan me zeker helpen met mijn volgende artikel."En: "It can definitely help me with my next article."Nl: Samen liepen ze de markt uit, de tulpen tussen hen in.En: Together they walked out of the market, the tulips between them.Nl: De lucht was fris en hun adem wolkjes in de koude lucht vormde kleine plukjes rook.En: The air was fresh and their breath formed small puffs of smoke in the cold air.Nl: Bram voelde dat hij iets had overwonnen in zichzelf.En: Bram felt that he had overcome something in himself.Nl: Anouk besefte dat openheid soms de mooiste kansen bracht.En: Anouk realized that openness sometimes brought the most beautiful opportunities.Nl: Ze hielden pas halt bij de uitgang van de markt, lachend en pratend over plannen om de tuin te bezoeken.En: They came to a stop at the market's exit, laughing and talking about plans to visit the garden.Nl: De dag begon met een onverwachte ontmoeting en eindigde met het vooruitzicht van iets moois.En: The day began with an unexpected encounter and ended with the prospect of something beautiful.Nl: Hun handen, die de tulpen stevig vasthielden, markeerden het begin van een nieuwe vriendschap, klaar om te bloeien als de bloemen die ze bij zich droegen.En: Their hands, tightly holding the tulips, marked the beginning of a new friendship, ready to bloom like the flowers they carried with them.Nl: In het leven van de stad, tussen het geroezemoes en de geuren van de markt, vonden Bram en Anouk elkaar.En: In the life of the city, amidst the buzz and aromas of the market, Bram and Anouk found each other.Nl: Wat begon als een simpele koop van tulpen eindigde als een stap in een nieuwe richting, persoonlijk en gezamenlijk, om samen iets moois te laten groeien.En: What began as a simple purchase of tulips ended as a step in a new direction, personally and collectively, to grow something beautiful together.

First up is Night Soil where we are basically poop pushers through the streets of London in the 15th century. This game cleverly challenges players with a worker placement style of game that can fill both rewarding and frustrating at the same time. Then comes Tulip Bubble, which flips the tone entirely. Gone is the damp, stinky sewers—now you're in the bustling markets of 17th‑century Holland, chasing fortunes in the most famous economic bubble in history. The game thrives on timing, speculation, and reading your opponents as much as the market itself. Prices rise, collapse, and ricochet with emotional volatility, and every round feels like a miniature psychological standoff. It's fast, sharp, and deliciously stressful in the best way. Rounding out the games are Mini Express and Ichor, two games that couldn't be more different yet both deliver rich strategic tension. Mini Express is a lean, elegant rail game built on shared incentives: every track you lay and every share you take strengthens someone else as much as you. It's a puzzle of timing, tempo, and subtle positioning. Ichor, on the other hand, plunges players into a Greek mythology world where asymmetric power challenges players in an Othello style game. Its resource‑driven push‑and‑pull creates a brooding atmosphere, rewarding ambition while constantly reminding you that brillant flashes of strategy can suddenly disappear before your next turn. Together, these four games form a wonderfully varied journey each offering its own flavor of tension and delight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In 1636 for a few glittering months the tulip sat at the centre of the first great speculative bubble in European history. A single flower bulb, not even in bloom yet, had just changed hands for more than the price of a fine house with a garden on the smartest canal in Amsterdam. We now call it Tulip Mania, Diarmuid Gavin tells us more.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: The Misadventures of Bram: A Botanical Surprise in Amsterdam Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-12-09-08-38-20-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Op een koude wintermiddag, vlak voor Sinterklaas, liep Bram door de drukkere straten van Amsterdam naar de beroemde Bloemenmarkt op het water.En: On a cold winter afternoon, just before Sinterklaas, Bram walked through the busy streets of Amsterdam to the famous Flower Market on the water.Nl: De lucht was fris en de kanalen glinsterden onder de feestelijke lichtjes.En: The air was crisp, and the canals glistened under the festive lights.Nl: De geur van bloemen en kruiden vulde de lucht, en Bram voelde zich opgetogen maar ook een beetje nerveus.En: The scent of flowers and herbs filled the air, and Bram felt excited but also a little nervous.Nl: Bram wilde Sanne verrassen met een mooie tulip.En: Bram wanted to surprise Sanne with a beautiful tulip.Nl: Ze hield van bloemen en vertelde hem vaak over haar favorieten.En: She loved flowers and often told him about her favorites.Nl: Maar Bram, verstrooid als altijd, had geen idee welke Tulip het mooist was.En: But Bram, as absent-minded as always, had no idea which tulip was the most beautiful.Nl: Hij wist dat hij Sanne een plezier zou doen, maar hij vreesde ook dat hij het verkeerd zou aanpakken.En: He knew he would make Sanne happy, but he also feared he would get it wrong.Nl: Bij de markt groette Maarten, de eigenaardige bloemist, hem met een knipoog.En: At the market, Maarten, the peculiar florist, greeted him with a wink.Nl: “Op zoek naar iets speciaals, Bram?En: "Looking for something special, Bram?"Nl: ” vroeg Maarten, terwijl hij een kleurrijke plant aan Bram liet zien.En: Maarten asked, showing him a colorful plant.Nl: “Kijk eens naar deze exotische schoonheid.En: "Take a look at this exotic beauty."Nl: ”“Ja, die ziet er bijzonder uit,” zei Bram, maar hij was afgeleid door de gedachte aan de tulip die hij eigenlijk zocht.En: "Yes, that one looks special," said Bram, but he was distracted by the thought of the tulip he was actually looking for.Nl: “Ik ben op zoek naar de perfecte tulip,” voegde hij aarzelend toe.En: "I'm looking for the perfect tulip," he hesitantly added.Nl: Maarten, met zijn ondeugende glimlach, knikte.En: Maarten, with his mischievous smile, nodded.Nl: “Deze is speciaal, echt waar,” verzekerde hij Bram, en voordat Bram het wist, had hij betaald en liep hij weg met de exotische plant zonder het goed te beseffen.En: "This one is special, truly," he assured Bram, and before Bram knew it, he had paid and was walking away with the exotic plant without really realizing it.Nl: Niet veel later begon de chaos.En: Not long after, chaos began.Nl: De plant, zo bleek, vereiste uiterst unieke zorg.En: The plant, it turned out, required extremely unique care.Nl: Binnen korte tijd begonnen de bladeren overal heen te groeien en lieten ze rare geluiden horen die de bezoekers nieuwsgierig maakten.En: In no time, the leaves began to grow everywhere and made strange noises that piqued the curiosity of passersby.Nl: Mensen stopten om te kijken, met murmurerende stemmen, en een kleine menigte verzamelde zich.En: People stopped to look, murmuring voices, and a small crowd gathered.Nl: Bram was in paniek.En: Bram panicked.Nl: Wat zou Sanne denken?En: What would Sanne think?Nl: Een plant die klonk als een spinnende kat was zeker geen passende Sinterklaas-verrassing.En: A plant that sounded like a purring cat surely wasn't an appropriate Sinterklaas surprise.Nl: Hij belde Sanne om hulp.En: He called Sanne for help.Nl: “Ik heb een probleem,” begon Bram en legde alles uit.En: "I have a problem," Bram began and explained everything.Nl: Sanne haastte zich naar de markt.En: Sanne hurried to the market.Nl: “Bram, dit is geen tulip.En: "Bram, this is not a tulip.Nl: Maar kijk hoe iedereen lacht,” zei ze met fonkelende ogen.En: But look at how everyone is laughing," she said, eyes twinkling.Nl: Maarten, die het tafereel vanaf zijn kraampje gadesloeg, liep naar hen toe en legde zijn hand op Bram's schouder.En: Maarten, observing the scene from his stall, walked over to them and placed his hand on Bram's shoulder.Nl: “Je hebt inderdaad voor opschudding gezorgd, maar dat is soms precies wat mensen nodig hebben,” glimlachte hij.En: "You certainly caused a stir, but that's sometimes exactly what people need," he smiled.Nl: Bram haalde diep adem en lachte eindelijk om de situatie.En: Bram took a deep breath and finally laughed at the situation.Nl: "Ik zal het maar toegeven: ik heb geen idee wat ik koop!En: "I have to admit: I have no idea what I'm buying!"Nl: "Maarten knikte.En: Maarten nodded.Nl: “Daarom help ik je.En: "That's why I'm helping you.Nl: Hier is die tulip, als een klein gebaar van mijn kant.En: Here is that tulip, as a small gesture from my side."Nl: ”Terwijl de menigte langzaam uit elkaar ging, hield Bram de perfecte tulip vast.En: As the crowd slowly dispersed, Bram held the perfect tulip.Nl: Sanne keek hem aan en zei: “Het onverwachte is ook mooi.En: Sanne looked at him and said, "The unexpected is also beautiful.Nl: Dank voor de lach.En: Thanks for the laughter."Nl: ”Bram realiseerde zich dat hij weliswaar een chaos had veroorzaakt, maar het bracht ook plezier.En: Bram realized that although he had caused chaos, it also brought joy.Nl: Hij zag in dat het goed is om hulp te vragen en dat niet alles volgens plan hoeft te gaan om toch te slagen.En: He saw that it's good to ask for help and that not everything needs to go according to plan to succeed.Nl: Met die gedachten, liepen Bram en Sanne lachend weg van de markt.En: With those thoughts, Bram and Sanne walked away from the market laughing.Nl: Het onverwachte had hen dichterbij gebracht, en aan het einde van de dag was dat veel waardevoller dan alleen de perfecte tulip.En: The unexpected had brought them closer, and at the end of the day, that was much more valuable than just the perfect tulip.

Is there anything more cheerful than coming home on a cold spring day and being greeted by a pot full of colourful tulips? Spring may seem a while off but now's the time to rip open some bags of bulbs and get planting and November is the ideal time to get them in the ground or in your pots.
