We are so glad to have Madison Perekotiy on the podcast today to talk about what it means to love our enemies with the love of Christ. Madison and her Ukrainian-born husband Yuriy have been full-time missionaries since 2018, first in Ukraine and now in Romania. In this episode, she and Natalie talk about what it’s like to have enemies in an ongoing war, how the character of God helps us to make sense of difficult circumstances, why the gospel is so important to remember when we are tempted to hate instead of love, and why the future restoration of all things offers great hope in the here and now. 

This month’s memory verse: “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” — Luke 6:27

Today's Dwell guest: Madison Perekotiy is a follower of Jesus, wife to her Ukrainian husband Yuriy, and mom to four Amerikrainian kiddos! They have been full-time missionaries since 2018, first in Ukraine and now in Romania. Madison's heartbeat has always been for the vulnerable, fatherless, and for families. She is currently in grad school studying social work and applying that to what they do with Ukrainian refugees.

 It is our great pleasure to invite you to an evening with award-winning Romanian director CORNELIU PORUMBOIU and Variety film critic JAY WEISSBERG! 

 We will have a conversation with Porumboiu about his Cannes-winning feature film debut, “12:08 East of Bucharest”, and as a special treat, we are very happy to welcome Jay Weissberg for a short introduction to the Romanian New Wave and Porumboiu’s contribution to it. 

SYNOPSIS:
Six years after the 1989 Revolution, a local television station in Bucharest invites several guests to share their moments of glory, as they stormed the city hall chanting “Down with Ceausescu!” during the revolutionary events. An alcoholic history teacher and a lonely retiree are forced to answer questions from dubious viewers.    

ABOUT THE FILM:
“Porumboiu found here an extremely deft way to make an impossibly grand statement without getting the least bit heavy about it. Not heavy until the end. This thing is dry-ass funny wisdom until the culminating karate chop to the throats of its three stooges. And us. We are made to choke on our laughter. All laughter, since forever: to laugh from inside the nightmare of history because no nightmare is all nightmare.” - Jason, Mubi-user

We’re thrilled to share our talk with Radu Jude and Ada Solomon, both winners of the Golden Bear 2021. The director/producer duo from Romania will give us insights in the making of THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD, Radu Jude’s feature film debut. 

   The interview was conducted online on the 15.04.2021.    

   Synopsis: 
“Delia, a young Romanian girl, comes to Bucharest with her parents to collect a prize she has won in a contest organized by a soft-drinks company. The prize is a beautiful new car. All Delia has to do now is appear in front of the camera in a commercial. All goes well until it becomes clear that Delia and her parents have very different ideas about what to do with the new car. Meanwhile, the contest's sponsor needs a radiant prize-winner with a gleaming smile. A wicked satire and a psychological portrait of a society perverted by its slavery to capitalism and consumerism.” 

  About the filmmakers:
Radu Jude was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1977. He has a degree in film from the city’s Media University. He began his career as an assistant director before making his first short, The Tube with the Hat, in 2006.

Hello and welcome to "The Lazy Sunday Show".  

This weekend is one of the most romantic weekends of the year, since it is Valentine's Day weekend, so how fitting is it to have a podcast episode talking about the country known for romance, and this is France!   Ellie was so kind to join the show and talk to us about her home and native land, as I actually learned a lot from our conversation about France.  As for me, I tried my best to  find some great stereotypes, although there were many to choose from.  It From "Do French have bad hygiene?", "Does everyone drink red wine and eat cheese?", "Is Paris truly the capital of love?" and everything in between!

Hello and welcome to "The Lazy Sunday Show".
