@Berrybunchfamily thank you for your earlier comments! Very interesting to read! I have listened 10 min in, and will continue. Since I'm into music, it interests me.

This is so sad, especially when his background is worship leader and Church planter. His wife Lisa grew up in a charismatic church, and they were leading worshipin such environments. They are extremely talented musicians! I'm not American so I don't fully understand the (Church) culture over there. Is it common that people leave the Christian faith for some kind of interreligious belief? I have read that young people/young adults are frustrated with the American Christianity, and leave churches en masse. Especially frustrated with megachurches with more focus on strong leaders than on Jesusbeing the head, and putting up shows etc. Some leave for house churches, some for more liturgical churches, and some lose their faith, and some get into yoga, mindfulness and eastern philosophies. What's your experience or perception? Do you know what happened to Gungor?

@sinbach how manly (or how qute)! 😀 They showed it even in Finland in the 80s. I remember watching it. I haven't watched it since... maybe I should. I don't remember the content, but I thought that Laura was so qute.

No big money for big pharma, meaning they don't want it to get attention in media.

“Our study shows first and foremost that ivermectin has antiviral activity,” Schwartz said. “It also shows that there is almost a 100% chance that a person will be noninfectious in four to six days, which could lead to shortening isolation time for these people. This could have a huge economic and social impact.”

@erdenpilger I totally get that! But at least we can pray for one another not to lose courage, and not give up our convictions etc.

@faith20 praying for you! Please, keep your DingDash family updated! May the Lord keep you and protect you and provide for you!

Continues here: In September our government will discuss the covid passport. Mrs Henriksson, has been pushing in this direction. I wrote very kindly to her, for instance “we are many parents that are very worried about giving vaccines to 12-year-old children, as there are documented risks, like heart inflammations… it’s vaccine (Pfeizer) that is not even approved yet… I hope that our society won’t discriminate people [the passports] who choose not to have the vaccine… There are many highly educated people I know that are skeptical, but keep a low profile about their opinions, since they risk to be discriminated or bullied."

I am so sick and tired of all this. I belong to a minority (even among Christians), who is not vaccinated. Of course, I believe the virus is for real, but there are bigger things going on in our world in the political arena. Some days I feel low, exhausted, anxious and frustrated. We need to pray for and encourage one another!

@sinbach congratulations! Is there any other way to get hold of it except through the RightNowMedia? I haven't heard of it in Finland. I can of course pay for it!

@MaryMamuzich I think it's harder for us that have grown up and always lived in smaller places, to visit big cities. I feel stressed and sometimes insecure, even if I'm interested in them and I think people in big cities are interesting as well. Last time we went to Thailand we stayed in Bangkok (10 million people) first, for four days. It was nice, but the noise and traffic made me tired and stressed. I would never stay in a city for a whole trip... the same thing if I would go to NY or LA or any other big city in the US.

@MaryMamuzich you can always enjoy the pictures! It's quite expensive and takes time to travel between the continents, if you don't live close to a bigger airport with intercontinental flights. This is what I usually want to experience when I travel: 1. Warm and sunny places by the sea (because of our winters). 2. Nature. 3. Cities. If I would go to the USA I would like to see New York- it feels epic. Then I would like to get a real experience of the country, both when it comes to nature, people and culture. Not only stay with other tourists at the most famous places. My son bought a book about recommended road trips in the States. He is also very interested in going there). I hope we will make it there one day... when we have enough time, money and aren't hindered by the pandemic or mandatory vaccines (we don't want to have it because of the known risks).

@MaryMamuzich thank you! I would like to visit your country too. But your country is as big and diverse as Europe, while Finland is only like one state (when it comes to area and population) in America.

@bethany @Berrybunchfamily yes it's sad! Young people are so lost today. They need to find their true identity in Jesus Christ.

@Berrybunchfamily and the craziness continues... https://youtu.be/N-5XRjpS4PE

@Berrybunchfamily we don't need to fear being canceled or censored here! It's safe here! I love that about DD...

@sinbach I'm impressed with your productivity when it comes to writing!! How do you do it technically? Do you use a voice dictation software, or are you a fast typer using the ten fingers method? (I learnt it when I was 20, and it's really useful... I write lots and lots of emails every day at work, especially these days when I work from home).

@Berrybunchfamily well put! Thanks for the comment! Yes, it's common with confusion during puberty... it's so sad that the confusion is encouraged!
