Holiday Special!

Liisa and Shachar sit down for a festive chat about the two big holidays celebrated by Christians and Jews – Christmas and Hanukkah.

What are some of the background stories related to these festivals?

Why do Jews celebrate Hanukkah?

Does Christmas really have pagan roots as they say?

How do Liisa and Shachar celebrate these holidays, or do they?

Liisa and Shachar share what they do (or don’t) celebrate and what the holidays mean to them.

Join in on another interesting discussion in the holiday spirit. You know, 'Tis the Season!

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.

Last time we got into a deep discussion about God's grace, and how inclusive/exclusive it is. We left off with a cliffhanger of Shachar asking Liisa's opinion about sin and if every sin truly could be redeemed. And if so, how and why, and how fair is it? We are no theologians here, in this episode Liisa is simply sharing her view of the matter. And with her new Bible in her hands, basing her answers on the scripture.

Join us for another interesting and candid conversation, where - once again - we're keeping it real!

Liisa recently embarked on a journey to Israel, exploring - amongst the usual sites - the Gaza border. She's sharing her most unforgettable experiences and encounters from the trip. However, one particular story had a surprisingly different impact on Shachar, sparking a thought-provoking discussion about the nature of God's grace and its perceived selectivity.

The debate that ensued was not only intriguing but also enjoyable!

Tune in to this episode to hear their lively conversation and gain insight into their unique perspectives.

Unpacking the complexities of modern masculinity! Is it a force for good or a recipe for disaster? Join Liisa and Shachar as they dive into the nuances of healthy masculinity, exploring what it looks like in Israel and in Finland, and uncovering insights from the Bible, as well as their personal views.

And obviously Liisa has written down her list of manly attributes!

Get ready for another fun and interesting episode!

Two years has passed since the terrible attacks took place in Israel in Oct 7th. Join us as we mark the second anniversary of the event. We'll be discussing the personal and global implications as an Israeli Jew who lost his uncle in the aftermath, and as a Christian who feels deeply for her Jewish friends and community.

Shachar will share his thoughts on safety, identity, and community in today's world, and Liisa offers her perspective on the current global atmosphere and her thoughts on the situation. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation about faith, hope, and the human experience. Is there anything that we as the world and as a community can learn from all of this?

In this episode, Shachar and Liisa engage in a thoughtful discussion about the recent passing of Charlie Kirk, sharing their reflections on the news and its impact.

They also continue their conversation from the previous episode, delving deeper into the significance of Israel's existence as a nation and exploring the relevance of the Jewish people from both biblical and contemporary perspectives.
