KonfliktAmerikanske presidentdoktriner med Njål Kjølholdt-GustavsenI denne episoden av Konflikt har podcastansvarlig Maria besøk av Njål Kjølholdt-Gustavsen. Njål, som også er visepresident i YATA Norge, har gjennom sin mastergrad i statsvitenskap fordypet seg i amerikanske presidentdoktriner.

Dette er mitt livMarit & Njål KristensenRogalendingen Marit hadde mange jern i ilden, i tillegg til å være student på heltid, og plutselig sa kroppen stopp. Det ble en viktig advarsel for henne at kroppen ikke hadde et utømmelig lager av energi.
Også for driftige Njål, ble det på et tidspunkt for mye, og i tre måneder ble han liggende i senga etter han kom hjem fra jobb.
Kallet fikk Njål tidlig i livet, men det er først nå, etter at barna har vokst til, at han og Marit reiser ut som misjonærer.
