The Hard TruthsSilence Isn’t FailureAfter divorce, silence can feel like failure—like you’ve lost everything. But silence can also become space: to breathe, to pray, to heal. Stillness isn’t weakness; it’s the ground where strength is rebuilt.Why it’s important:In Earned, Not Given, I share how I learned to embrace silence instead of fearing it. Parents in divorce and parental alienation often want to fight and fill the noise. But healing in the quiet is what allows you to show up stronger, calmer, and more present for your kids.📖 Earned, Not Given is coming soon.—Rinaldo...

The Hard TruthsThe Empty SeatDivorce leaves empty seats—at games, recitals, and milestones. At first, I thought I had to fight for that spot. But I learned you don’t prove love in a courtroom or an argument—you prove it by showing up. Kids remember who stayed consistent, even when life got complicated.Why it’s important:In Earned, Not Given, I share how I stopped chasing validation and focused on presence. Too many parents waste energy fighting over control instead of showing up for their kids. This matters because children don’t remember the conflict—they remember who was there in the...

The Hard TruthsThe Power of CalmDivorce already takes so much from children. They don’t need the extra weight of conflict. Choosing calm over arguments isn’t weakness—it’s strength. It shows kids they’re safe, steady, and loved, no matter what.Why it’s important:In Earned, Not Given, I share how reacting in anger only created more confusion for my children. Learning to respond with calm gave them stability during chaos. Parents need to know: peace is the greatest gift you can give your kids after divorce.📖 Earned, Not Given is coming soon.Discover the he...

The Hard TruthsThe Montreal SurpriseA simple moment in Montreal—trying to speak French at a diner—turned into something bigger. My daughter laughed, surprised, even proud. It wasn’t about the words. It was about showing I was willing to grow, willing to step into her world.Why it’s important:Divorce can make parents feel like they’re always losing ground. But kids don’t measure love in court orders or schedules. They see it in the little efforts—the times you show up, try something new, and surprise them. That’s how trust is rebuilt: step by step, word by word.📖...

The Hard TruthsPizza FridaysPizza Fridays were never about the food. They were about creating a tradition that gave my kids stability and laughter during a time when life felt broken. The ratings, the arguments, the jokes—it was our way of being together, even when so much else had changed.Why it’s important:Divorce leaves parents feeling like they have to make up for what’s missing, but kids don’t need perfection. They need presence. Small traditions like this build trust, joy, and security that no courtroom or custody agreement can replace.📖 Earned, Not Given is coming soon...

The Hard TruthsThe Missed MomentsAs a divorced parent, I carried the weight of missed birthdays and broken holidays. But I’ve learned not to live in the guilt of what I lost. I pour everything into the moments I do get—one call, one hug, one laugh. Kids don’t need perfect. They need you present.Why it’s important: In Earned, Not Given, I share how guilt nearly broke me, until I realized presence matters more than perfection. Parents struggling with divorce or co-parenting need this reminder: even small, consistent moments build trust and love. That’s what kids remem...

The Hard TruthsThe Hard Truth About DivorceDivorce isn’t about winning or being innocent—it’s about how you show up for your kids. No judge, lawyer, or therapist can make co-parenting work. Only parents can choose peace. Keep fighting, and you risk losing your kids’ trust. Choose differently—for them.Why it’s important:In Earned, Not Given, I share how divorce stripped life down to the basics—and how co-parenting wasn’t something a court could fix. These stories matter because too many parents believe legal battles will create peace, when the truth is only parents themselves can choose it. Kids deserve stabilit...

Bach & CoBach & CoPodcast over Bach, aflevering 76
De Johannes Passion, deel 1
Een aantal jaren geleden heeft Govert Jan Bach een luisterboek gemaakt over de Johannes Passion van Johann Sebastian Bach.
Hij vertelt hierbij over de ontstaansgeschiedenis, en hoe de Johannes Passion muzikaal in geen enkel opzicht minder is dan de Matthäus Passion, die een uur langer duurt en veel complexer is.
De Johannes Passion werd drie jaar eerder gecomponeerd en was de deur naar Bach’s Passionen. Een baanbrekende eersteling.
We hebben dit luisterboek bewerkt voor Bach & Co en bieden die in een paar afleveringen aan.

In Your PresenceWhat is the Spiritual Combat?Luke 13, 31-32: 31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

Bachcast - biberfanBachcast Episode 11: Brandenburg Concerto #6, BWV 1051Shownotes
Bach's sixth Brandenburg Concerto is scored for an interesting combination of string instruments: two violas da braccio and two violas da gamba, along with a cello part and continuo. The lower senority of the strings may lend itself to a rich, dark sound, but the major mode of the piece certainly lightens the mood. Bach does go for our hearts in the slow movement when he presents us with a "honey chord," as I describe it, supplying an authentic climax to the middle movement. The third and final movement is a happy jig, one that every...
