Paul Taylor: Care Less about tomorrow, at least not more than today. “Do not worry about tomorrow…” Why does Jesus tell us this? It seems such a hard instruction to follow. Almost everything we care about these days seems to involve some level of worrying about tomorrow. But while you can’t choose what tomorrow will produce, you can choose your posture today. You can’t be sure of your ultimate des...

Paul Taylor: Giving up on perfect. Give up on perfect! The apostle Paul said that he cared very little about what others thought of him. He did not even care about his own judgement of himself. He had totally embraced the idea that even his best works were useless in comparison to the great work Jesus had done for him. SO why didn’t Paul turn into a very average slob? After striving to be someone,...

In a culture that is constantly telling us to care more, one of the most important things we can learn is how to care less, or even; not care at all, particularly about the things that aren’t ours to care about. It won’t always be popular but caring about people is not synonymous with caring about what they care about, and in your short but incredibly valuable life you only have so many “cares” to...

At the moment Israel touched dry ground on the other side of the Red sea they must have thought nothing could ever induce them to return to Egypt, which makes it even more alarming that part way to the promised land many of them were telling Moses they’d rather return! Does anything like that happen in our lives? Where do those thoughts come from and how could we avoid them? In this episode, Natal...

What if the things that nourished you yesterday are no good for you today? What if the way things used to work isn’t how they’re going to work? God’s people have often wanted to be spiritual hoarders, saving up what used to be good for us so we don’t have to face today without a back-up plan, but the Exodus story shows us that this is just another symptom of our former slavery, God has a better wa...

That leaving Egypt is different from entering into blessing, that we have an active role to play, and that God wants to work through us to bless the world around us. In this episode, Natalie Naude speak...
