    There's no "The One"

    The concept of "the one" seems a bit ambiguous. Is it the idea that for everyone, there's just exactly one person they are meant to be together with, and that each and every one of us has such "the one"? The implication would seem to be that even just one person in the whole world marrying the...

    WHAT FOOD DON'T YOU LIKE THAT THE WORLD LIKES!

    I used to find herring and some other similar kinds of fish disgusting. I haven't tried them for almost three decades, but given how I like some kinds of fish and at least tolerate many others now, I suspect this disgust is now a thing of the past. I just haven't gotten around to testing it yet...

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    And it can also be anything from "raw" to "well done".

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    Now that I thought about it a bit more, some of these are perhaps worth listening to as well: https://www.deiplus.fi/ohjelmasarja/4?mediaType=undefined and also if the scope isn't limited to just podcasts but other kinds of YouTube livestreams, etc, then there might be some others too.

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    I do less of my podcast listening in Finnish, and those that I do listen to in Finnish tend to be on politics, social issues, etc. The only exception that I can think of right away would be this one that deals with various issues in philosophy, theology and apologetics...

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    Yes. But I don't think either one of those two have produced new episodes since Justin Brierley left Premier. Regarding the others, "The Rest Is History" is not a Christian podcast, although one of the hosts (Tom Holland - the historian, not the Spiderman actor) seems to have come pretty close...

    The Flower by His Dark Path

    A lyric music video of this poem:

    Yes, nice to see Nordics of all varieties represented here! Sure, Santa may not actually live...

    Yes, nice to see Nordics of all varieties represented here! Sure, Santa may not actually live in Rovaniemi, but he does have an office there, and being a busy guy with an important and time-consuming job, I'm sure he has spent many nights there as well, so by some definition, he kinda does live...

    The Strangely Comforting Cross

    Here is a lyric music video based on the poem (still using AI to make the music - I haven't suddenly turned into some brilliant and super-productive composer).

    Dawning Day After the Storm

    Here's a lyric music video of the same poem (music made with the help of AI). I'll delete the old poetry video linked earlier in this thread because this one is much better.

    Maximilian's Cross

    In the turmoil of a world aflame, under war's darkened sky, A glimmer of hope arose, with eyes of conviction held high. From the heart of Poland’s plight, defying the teeth of despair, Maximilian, his greatness lent, a light from Heaven's air. Against the storm, against the dark, In steadfast...

    Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. :)

    Grace and Peace

    If someone found the musical adaptations (with the aid of AI) in my other threads "too heavy," then the one I made from this poem may be more to their liking: https://suno.com/song/3bc3867a-c402-4c86-956a-e8fcf6728edc

    Salvation Amidst the Waters

    Here's another one of my attemps to convert my poems into music with the help of AI. I have a few others in the works but this is probably the one I like the most so far: https://suno.com/song/6fdb90c3-d0e9-4b87-984c-a00b23fb413e

    Promises of the Covenant

    OK, here's my attempt to turn the poem into music with AI (musically, i did very little - just inserted the lyrics, twiddled some settings and let AI doing its thing). Comments and criticism are welcomed. This genre of music may divide opinions, but personally I think it fits well with spiritual...
