No matter how much the world changes, people never stop searching for love, acceptance, and a deeper sense of purpose. That is why, for many, faith is more than religion. It is a relationship that offers hope when life’s deepest questions remain unanswered. It becomes a refuge when everything falls apart, a source of strength when certainty disappears, and a reminder that some truths lie beyond the reach of reason alone.

And yet today, we often spend more time debating faith than actually living it. We question it, challenge it, and defend it, reducing it to rules, institutions, and tradition, while forgetting that at its core, faith has always been about a relationship — the relationship between human beings and God.

Perhaps that is why more and more people, especially young people, are searching for a place where they will not be judged for their questions, weaknesses, or moments of uncertainty. A place where someone will truly listen, see beyond the surface, and remind them that they are loved. Sometimes, they find that place in a man of the Church whose life reflects the message he preaches.

One such person is Don Frano Bešlić, a Salesian priest and director of the oratory in Zagreb’s Knežija neighbourhood. Raised in a Herzegovinian family, surrounded by Franciscan spirituality and shared family prayer, he has devoted his life to bringing people, especially young people, closer to God.

Children don’t come into the world with titles, statuses, and expectations. They arrive curious, free, and open. They view the world without prejudice, ask questions that adults no longer seek answers to, and feel things we have often forgotten how to feel. Perhaps this is exactly why the most important life lessons sometimes don’t come from books, diplomas, or years of experience, but from the gaze of a child who reminds us daily of what truly matters in life.

Children are often expected to grow up as quickly as possible, to become successful, well-adjusted, and ready for the world. We adults rarely pause to ask ourselves what we can actually learn from them. Have we forgotten how to listen? Have we stopped observing? In our desire to prepare them for life, have we sometimes forgotten to simply be there for them, fully present in the moment?

In a world that increasingly turns us into observers of our own lives, distances us from nature, and imposes a rhythm that’s harder and harder to keep up with, Edin Mehmedović reminds us to listen to the signals our body sends—and return to one of life’s most basic needs: movement. This passionate athlete, kinesiologist, and professional coach has long outgrown sport itself. His greatest victories didn’t happen on the field, but in the lives of the people he’s helped transform.

From a boy growing up in Dugave, a Zagreb neighborhood, chasing a ball to becoming a respected coach and authority in the world of sport, his journey has shaped the mission he lives every day. Over more than two decades, he has guided people through their toughest battles—through attempts, failures, and comebacks. And the more he worked with them, especially those facing serious challenges with obesity, the clearer it became: the real battle is rarely physical—it’s mental. Behind every extra kilogram, there is often a deeper life story. And true transformation never begins in the body—it begins in the mind. That’s why today, his greatest success lies in the people he’s helped—not just in how they look, but in what they say: “Thank you for saving my life.”

He believes humans are made to move—and that through movement and everyday choices, we reconnect with who we truly are. Because the purpose of life is not to stand still, but to explore, to move, to grow. Only then does health stop being a goal—and become a state of being.

Rare are those whose voice carries the weight of experience, the breadth of knowledge, and the depth of a truly human worldview like this television adventurer. Not only he creates reports, but also builds bridges between worlds and cultures. Whether interviewing global power brokers or everyday citizens, he unearths daily truths in search of universal values. His stories travel far beyond the screen, connecting people, places, and ideas—from the global epicenters of power to the world’s forgotten corners.

Goran Milić stands as one of the most prominent journalists in Croatia and the region, with a career spanning nearly half a century in broadcast and documentary journalism. Along the way, he has edited and hosted over a thousand programs, filmed hundreds of documentaries and travel reports, and interviewed heads of state, leading intellectuals, and key public figures of his era. Even after his formal “retirement,” his voice has not faded. On the contrary, he continues to produce documentary series that take viewers on journeys through contemporary social phenomena and the world’s cultural diversities. His series What’s Up… explores stories from America, Europe, Israel, and Japan, examining the North-South divide, while his latest episodes bring nuanced, timely dispatches from China.

In an era where beauty is often reduced to fleeting trends and superficial fixes, Željana Bolanča, MD, PhD, represents a different voice. It is a voice that is calm, professional, and deeply human—the voice of medicine that listens before it acts. She believes that self-confidence doesn’t come from a reflection in the mirror, but from a sense of peace within one’s own skin. To her, expertise without ethics is worthless, and success without purpose is no victory at all.

As a dermatovenereologist and one of the country’s leading experts in hair and scalp disorders, Željana Bolanča, MD, PhD, builds her approach on understanding—of the skin, but above all, of people. Her work doesn’t begin with a treatment; it begins with a conversation. The philosophy she lives by is rooted in listening: to oneself, to others, and to the process itself. She believes that nothing truly valuable happens overnight and that real results only emerge when there is trust—between person and person, between body and mind.

This philosophy was no accident. Over a decade ago, together with her husband—OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinology specialist Ivan Bolanča—she founded the Bolanča Clinic as an extension of their shared vision and family story. Today, the clinic integrates dermatology, aesthetic medicine, gynecology, and radiology, yet its core mission remains the same: to provide comprehensive, expert, and individualized care for every patient. This is exactly why her voice is more than just professional authority. It is a voice of consistency, perseverance, and a deep belief in purpose. It is a voice that doesn’t impose, but guides.
