About this listen

We are Shachar and Liisa, a Jewish Israeli and a Finnish Christian, both living with our (separate) families in Budapest, Hungary. We are close friends who found each other through music, but bonded over the love of Israel. We are here to talk about life, faith, family and future hope as outsiders in Hungary but also in the world. From our personalities to our passions, we’re laying the foundation and bringing you into our world. And we don't always agree about everything.

Whether you’re here for stories, insight, or just good vibes, we’re so excited to have you with us.

Let’s begin this journey—together.

  • Two Outsiders In - The Holy & Unholy Conversations - Episode 12 - Anxiety & Depression
    Dec 8 2025

    We do not claim to be doctors, but we do have thoughts on the modern “plague” of depression and anxiety. As two human beings, both of us have walked that path ourselves, so this time we’re sharing our deeper thoughts about the matter as well as our personal stories of what we ourselves have experienced.

    Our goal is to find some practical tools for listeners who might -just like us- struggle with depressing thoughts.

    Obviously Liisa is also going to share some light on what the Scripture is saying about the subject.

    Join us for an honest, lively conversation that tackles a dark subject with hope, humor, and real talk.
