– Mona Levin really has a message for Norway

The program series We meet across airs eight Mondays this spring, Mondays at 10 p.m. You can see the programs on Bedehuskanalen, Kanal 10 Norge – and here on Verdinytt. It will also be recorded here, so you can watch it at any time.

Monday 29 April: Mona Levin

Bjarte Ystebø is program manager for We meet crosswise. This Monday, he talks to a journalist and author for just over half an hour Mona Levin (84)

– Mona Levin is an impressive person in her own right, with everything she can and has been involved in in her life. She is a great Norwegian, says Ystebø to Verdinytt.

– So it is powerful to have a conversation with a Norwegian Jew who has experienced the Holocaust and shares from his and his family’s history. Her perspectives on the rise of anti-Semitism are valuable and impactful. She really has a message for Norway, states Bjarte Ystebø.

See the full program at the top of the page here, Monday 29 April at 22.00 – and in recording anytime after that.

Here you can already watch a small clip from tonight’s We meet across the board:

VG editor-in-chief Gard Steiro

– I recognize that a component of Christian cultural heritage has shaped our view of human rights, said VG’s editor-in-chief Gard Steiro when he was a guest in We meet crosswise on 22 April. There was a good chat about, among other things, media, values ​​and cultural heritage.

NRK journalist Fredrik Solvang

“I have often thought… actually, I wish I were a Christian,” said the NRK Debatten journalist Fredrik Solvang when he was a guest in We meet across the street on Monday 15 April.

See the interview here:

Church politician Kristin Gunleiksrud Raaum

First out in this one We meet acrossseries was Kristin Gunleiksrud Raaumthen outgoing church council leader in The Norwegian Church, 8 April.

In the interview, she says, among other things, that “society is changing. Christianity’s place in society is getting smaller, the church’s place is getting smaller, of course, than it was. And we must meet that with as much wisdom as we can.”

In the same week that the interview was shown on TV, the annual summit meeting of the Church of Norway, the Church Meeting, was held in Trondheim. In her opening speech, Kristin Gunleiksrud Raaum spoke about all that the church is good at, but also the challenges that exist. She has been involved in “opening the church to everyone”, something that weighs heavily on the chest of many conservative Christians. She said, among other things, that “marriage between two people of the same sex is not a sin. It is love and grace.”

The idea behind “We meet across”

– This program is based on the fact that we who believe in God can meet anyone, listen to and hear their story, and at the same time be bold about what we believe to be true and good, and which we find in the Bible, explains program leader Bjarte Ystebø, who is also a manager in Kristen Media Norge.

– In working with these programmes, we have experienced that people also want to meet us on our home turf. There are some such meeting points where we believe God can work on us and on those we meet, he says.

Eight Monday evenings have a Verdinytt editor Tor-Bjørn Nordgaard with exciting guests in the studio, who all have a story to tell.

– I think you will be both inspired, uplifted and perhaps also challenged to believe in the fire you yourself carry in your heart, says the presenter.

The unborn children

This Monday you will have a powerful meeting with the pastor Geir Stomnås.

The Vigeland revival

In the first Verdipraten, Arthur Robertsen, the singing evangelist from the Vigeland revival, spoke intimately about his life – and what he has experienced in the past year.
