Hallelujah! Podcast

Every year at the start of October we start to see the Halloween theme come back into every store, cafe and corner shop. Ghosts, pumpkins, spiders and creepy costumes galore.. it's that time of the year, again. Whether Christians should celebrate Halloween or not is a controversial topic that divides people into three groups - those that have no issues with celebrating Halloween, those who are...

In this video we're talking about the beautiful topic of hope. Hope is "a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen." When we are hopeful we have an optimistic point of view and live in a posture of joyful expectancy for good things to come. It's estimated that 1/3 people will experience major depression at some point during their life, and many people li...

In this video we're talking about baptism, a topic that comes up very frequently in the Bible. There are two types of baptism; baptism in water and baptism of the Holy Spirit, both of which are vital in the life of a Christian. Water baptism is a public declaration of our faith and is a complete immersion under water that symbolises the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. To be baptised i...

In this episode we're talking about the importance of guarding your heart. The foundational verse for this episode is found in Proverbs 4:23, which says “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” The concept of guarding your heart is one that is spoken about frequently in church but not always unpacked to the level it should be. In this episode we discuss what it...

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In this episode we're working through the topic on intimacy, specifically intimacy with Jesus. People will often associate intimacy only as something sexual, but by definition it actually just means “close familiarity or friendship.” It’s a feeling of closeness and connection in an interpersonal relationship, which is what God desires to have with us. In thi...

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In this episode we tackle the hot topic of secular music, Hollywood and my journey with listening to secular music. Why does it even matter what we listen to?

All of these questions (and more) are answered in this episode with a combination of my p...

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In this episode join me as I bring a short word of encouragement about resting in Christ vs being busy and working.

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In the third instalment of the commonly asked questions series we’re tackling the topic of “once saved, always saved.” Also known as eternal security, once saved always saved is a very common belief in the church that says from the moment you become a christian, you will be saved and it’s impossible for you to ever lose your salvation. In this episode we’ll disc...

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In this episode I share from Romans 1 with what I feel is a very strong message and warning from the Lord to those who are living an unrighteous life. Starting in verse 18, Romans 1 says “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.” Our society today is plagued...

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In this episode we’re going through a who, what, when, where, why and how (like in English class!) for trials and tests in life.

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In this episode we’re talking about fear - what is it, how do we deal with it, and how it stops us from living the life that God has called  us to. The Bible says that God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.. but it’s not always easy to walk in this truth. Let’s get into the word of God together and see what God says! Visit the...

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In this episode we’re talking about dealing with disappointment, which is a very real part of our lives.

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In the third episode of our singleness series (and our first video episode, hooray!) we are discussing what to do when you're single and you're either desperate to be married, fearful of never finding someone, feeling lonely or that you're less than while you're single.

Welcome to the Hallelujah! podcast. In the second episode of our singleness series we are continuing on our topic of singleness and why it's such a gift. The Bible clear backs up the fact that in singleness we have more time to devote to the Lord and are free from anxieties of the world, but it can be easy to get stuck feeling like you're missing out and waiting for the next season of life...
