The Living Room

Send us Fan Mail We all have a perspective of what transformation should look like. How do we cope when it doesn't happen in the way that we expect and how can we have a healthy approach to allow real transformation to take its course.

Send us Fan Mail Our experience of life in this current pandemic can feel like it's far from ideal. How do we cope with that and where is God during this time.

Send us Fan Mail We're all experiencing some form of lockdown, it's not necessarily peaceful, but we are forced to stop and that gives us the chance to ask an important question, when all of this is over, what will I change?

Send us Fan Mail In the middle of these strange and uncertain times, we can find ourselves overwhelmed with fear. Today we look at how we face fear with faith.

Send us Fan Mail The journey of discipleship seems fairly straight forward. In an ideal world people travel on an upward trajectory, growing in knowledge and faith, enabling them to get closer to God through the process. This ideal pathway seems to fall apart when we experience moments life that cause us to doubt, wrestle and question how life, and God, actually works. Today we look to redefine ou...

Send us Fan Mail When we talk about Salvation, it usually centres around the decision that people make to follow God. Salvation is actually way bigger than that. It's a much wider story about rescue, deliverance and preservation from harm - not just in the future but in the here and now. When we grab hold of this, it makes the world of difference to the way we live our lives. That's what...

Send us Fan Mail When we go to church, we're often looking to be inspired, educated and connected to God. This is such a worthwhile pursuit, but balance is also important. There are some days when we might feel like we can't change the world - and that's okay. Today we discuss the importance of balancing the push to be better alongside the need for us to be real and honest about whe...

Send us Fan Mail When we are trying to work out what we should do, how we should behave and how we should treat people, the best response is to look to the life of Jesus and take our lead from Him.

Send us Fan Mail When we make the decision to pursue God, feeling a connection with Him becomes so important. Today we look at how God can be closer than we think and consider how that connection with Him can have an impact on how we function in our lives.

Send us Fan Mail Isolation is a clear issue in our society. When community is done well, it can be a great anti-dote to disconnection and isolation. Today we look at the key elements that a church community needs to prioritise in order to provide a safe space; a place of welcome and true acceptance. Feel free to listen in.

Send us Fan Mail When the dust begins to settle from our initial connection with God, we can find that we lack the energy to continue to pursue an on-going relationship with Him. We can fall into the trap of chasing feelings, being nostalgic, becoming apathetic or being happy with an association with God. That relationship requires investment. Today we look at some of these challenges and how we c...

Send us Fan Mail The way we connect with each other has significantly changed over the last 10 years. Today we look at the challenges we face in this area and consider how we can develop deeper connections and make a significant difference to the people around us.

Send us Fan Mail When Simon Sinek talks about our society, he describes it like this: 'We are more connected than ever, but we're not connecting' There are so many people within our society who suffer from the consequences of a lack of true connection with others. Today we discuss this subject, identify some of the problems and begin to look at how we can be people who make a differ...

Send us Fan Mail When we take a step back, we can see a clear picture of how the events of our lives have an impact and cause us to change as individuals. Change can be scary, be we also know that it is inevitable. Today we discuss change and curiosity and how accepting one and pursuing the other can lead to a depth in our relationship with God and help us become who Jesus would be if He was us.

Send us Fan Mail When we have to walk through challenging times, the last thing we expect to find is treasure. It's not something we look for or expect to find, but when we reflect on that time, and when we allow ourselves time to process everything that has taken place, we can find treasure that we never expected. In today's podcast, Han shares her story of facing multiple miscarriages,...

Send us Fan Mail When we face challenging times our prayer can often be centred around our need for God to remove the challenge and free us from the situation, but when we reflect on those hard times, our resilience is developed by learning to walk through valley as opposed to be plucked from it. Today's story focusses on just that and highlights the impact that that journey can have on us as...

Send us Fan Mail Resilience can be developed in so many different ways. We can reach a place in life where we feel that we've managed to overcome the challenges that life has thrown at us only to realise that there's still some baggage that we're carrying that will impact our future. In this podcast we talk to Becky about her story, looking at the things that have shaped her and the...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes, the events in our lives can bring us to some challenging places and force us to face some pretty dark things. Becoming gripped with anxiety can be isolating and suffocating - leaving us feeling like there is no way through this challenge.  In this podcast we listen to Lizzie's story, hear about the difficulties she has faced and how she has had to live through time...

Send us Fan Mail Pursuing a relationship with God can be challenging at times. When life throws a curve ball; for that relationship to remain intact, we need there to be a depth that enables our faith to survive. This whole process can be described in one word - resilience.

Send us Fan Mail The final element that makes up The Living Room is The Living Room itself! We aim for this to be a place of hope, a space where people can feel supported, encouraged and inspired. It's our half time team talk that equips us for the world that we're a part of. Hope is the element that makes the difference. We want to find hope, help others to discover it and, ultimately,...

Send us Fan Mail The second of the core elements of the Living Room is 'The Table'. When we sit around our tables, we're setting time aside to develop our relationships. Those times around the table create a space and an environment where, through conversation, we can understand more about each other and begin to push each other towards purpose.

Send us Fan Mail The Living Room is based around three elements, today we take the time to explain one of those elements, the kitchen. We look at what the concept is, why it's important and what it could look like for each of us.

Send us Fan Mail None of us feel comfortable when our weaknesses are exposed. We'll often do our best to hide weakness and hope that no-one uncovers it. But what we have to understand is that weakness can also pave the way for a strength to form with in us. We don't need to be afraid or ashamed, if we choose to allow it to positively shape us; our weakness could be the very thing that de...

Send us Fan Mail The Living Room has just celebrated it's 2 year anniversary - so we taken this time to look back at what we've talked about, how that's shaped us and how we move forward together. We hope you enjoy it and are inspired.
