Fika for Life

Finding your place with your in-laws

Edward and Linh tackle a real-life problem from some of our listeners who have talked about them not finding their place in the family that they married into. This is in fact a very common problem but one which people shy away from. Linh and Edward share insights and their unique brand of witty truth to help you navigate this tricky situation.

Catching up in 2024

As many of our long-term listeners know, Linh has moved from Sweden to Germany. Along with Edward's teaching schedule and the grind of life, it has not been possible to keep up with the planned recording schedule until after the New Year. In this very open conversation the dynamic duo of wisdom and comedy want to catch you up with what has been going on.

New country - New life

Linh has rehomed in Germany and in this episode Ed and Linh try out the new equipment for their continued work with the podcast as well as updating on Linh's new life in Germany.

Germany is not like Sweden

Well friends, for over 100 episodes Fika for Life has been recorded in Uppsala, Sweden which is where Linh and Edward serve in their local congregation. Now that Linh has been in Germany for a while what do friends talk about? They talk about how different life in the new place is as compared to the old one. As always Edward and Linh speak from their heart about life and your questions.

Linh is moving to Germany

One of the Ten Commandments is to honor your father and mother. This commandment entails more than treating them with respect. It also means taking care of them and providing for them if needed. Linh and Edward speak very openly about the upcoming move.

Learning from Exodus

In today's episode Linh and Edward discuss our church's sermon series in Exodus about the journey to the promised land and all of the complaining. As usual, they cover several other small topics with their normal sense of humor and openness, as they are topics that lie close to their hearts. Let us know if you would like to be a part of our recording audience.

Men have a hard time

The gift of testosterone affects more than the size of a man's muscles. This insightful conversation about how difficult men have it, will give you a PhD in manology. As usual, Edward and Linh share their wisdom and deep knowledge of the world of men with a serious humor and irony that has catapulted them into fame with such areas as burning hair, pecking order and standing up for your bros.

Excuses why people don’t go to church

There are hardly any Sundays Ed and Linh are not at their home church Cross Culture. In this episode they are counting down all the excuses people bring up why they cannot come to church. As Christians we are called to live in fellowship and worship continuously together so what can there be that would make people not come to church?

Your past affecting your present

How much does the past influence you in the now? Can you escape your past? Listen in to Ed and Linh's conversation about a new friend's situation and what you could do to reflect at your past.

Encouragement to all the Christian singles out there

In Christianity and church culture finding a partner can feel like the most important thing in the world. It is hard to see everyone else getting married and having kids while maybe you yourself are the only single one left. The temptation to look beyond the church and within the faith can be big and maybe you have found somebody who ticks all the boxes except for one. Hear what Ed and Linh want to say to you in this episode.
