KICK YOUR BUT- wk 4: "BUT IT WON’T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE" 27.06.2025 43:41
Everybody wants to live an intentional, meaningful, satisfying life. We want God’s best. Is this it though? Does your life feel smaller than you thought it’d be? Why is that? Isn’t Jesus supposed to make everything better? Didn’t He say He came to bring us life to the full? Full of what?? My life is full of stress, insecurity, and failure. Why can’t we seem to step into the dreams God put inside u...

SAVAGE: wk 5 - "DID JESUS REALLY SPIT IN A DISABLED GUY’S MOUTH?" 29.05.2025 35:35
Even if you’re not a Christian, you probably have a picture in your mind of who Jesus is. For most people, it’s someone unwaveringly kind, caring, and gentle. And for the most part, they’re right. But if you read through the Gospels, you’ll inevitably come across instances that upset your expectations. Jesus said and did things that almost seem out-of-character; moments where He comes across as me...

TIL STRESS DO US PART: WK4 - "HOW TO CALM YOURSELF WHEN YOUR BUTTONS GET PUSHED" 24.02.2025 40:14
We all want someone to share our lives with. But finding the right person is hard and making it work with them is even harder. Most relationships don’t last and those that do don’t always seem all that happy. So, I ask, why are romantic relationships in our culture getting shorter and our satisfaction with them getting lower? Could any of this have something to do with the pace at which the world...

BAD NEIGHBORS: WK4 - "BE UNWILLING TO HELP" 28.01.2025 49:06
You like where you live, but there’s no telling who (or what) is lurking next door. The possibilities are terrifying. You already know the major plot points: what they drive, how often they mow, who they voted for. You do your best to avoid them. The thought of mail-box small talk with these monsters sends shivers down your spine. Shouldn’t we all just mind our own business and keep to ourselves?...

THE THRILL OF HOPE: WK 4 - "The Nameless Shepherds" 23.12.2024 36:08
A ‘thrill’ is essentially ‘enjoyably nervous excitement’—the kind we feel on roller coasters or in suspenseful movies. But poets from our faith tradition often describe the feeling of Christmas as ‘The Thrill of Hope’. Every year, the December air is thick with it.
