It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Albert Einstein's quote sums up the incredible journey of Drs Olen and Danae Netteburg, missionary doctors in Chad, Africa - where indeed each day brings about its own mysteries and discoveries. Tune in to this fascinating two part series where they talk about their passion for humanitarian service, the travails and joys of working in a foreign hospital, the tension of raising a family versus serving a community in need and ultimately what drives them after a decade in the mission field.

    Change: The Simple Life

    Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace.  Minimalism. Decluttering. Simplifying. These are the concepts sweeping the world - challenging us to focus on the simple things; to find joy in the routine of our days. How is it achieved though - especially in the hustle and bustle, the uncertainties, the ever-changing landscape we live in?   Ryan and Kristy Dolinksy have swopped the bright lights of Hollywood and Los Angeles for a vastly contrasting picture of suburban California that is seemingly commonplace. Yet the quietness of their life, balancing career and non-profit projects, is one of beauty and simplicity. Hear their remarkable story of transformation, discovering meaning and the things that bring them ultimate joy.
