Episode 23 - Riches (Part 1) - True Riches

Do you want to be rich? Who doesn’t right? Most people would probably answer - “yes” to that question. So perhaps we need to ask ourselves different questions to explore our thoughts around riches:

What will make you rich? Why do you desire those things? What will being rich change in your life?

It seems the today's culture pushes us to chase the world’s riches. Hustle until you blow! However, we see from the lives of so many who have attained great material wealth, that it never brings us the lasting satisfaction we desired.

In this episode, I have the joy of exploring the true riches we can have in Jesus with my dear friend Giulia. Together we start to look into what place material wealth has in our lives, what the true riches are, how we can become truly rich and much more.

Episode 16 - Joy

Wouldn’t it be great to wake up every morning full of joy? To study or go to work full of joy? To do all things full of joy? For many people, the reality is we don’t have that joy everyday. And for others, it may be even further from that. Maybe you’re going through a tough chapter at the moment and it is hard to find things that give you joy. How do we navigate these dry spells?

Jesus tells us that it is possible for our joy to be full. How do we have more joy? How do we have full joy? On this episode, I had so much fun diving into this core component of life lived to the full with two dear friends of mine - Olly & Rebekah. And they share with us a little bit about their stories and the wisdom they’ve picked up along the way.

Episode 15 - Authority

It may appear as special permission to do a particular thing or in some other form. I wonder what comes to mind when you think about authority. It probably draws up different feelings and memories in each of us depending on who you are, how you’ve lived, what you do and so many other things. Regardless of how we feel about it, authority is a permanent feature of our daily lives. The question which follows is this – Is there a way we can enjoy rather than at best tolerate its presence?

In this episode, we begin to explore what authority means and how it features in some different contexts. We also look at some of the responses we could have to it and most importantly, how we can use it well. Join me as we discover more about how much the authority we have, and could have, can enrich our lives and our communities.

Episode 14 - Hope

“Don’t get your hopes up”. That’s a phrase some of us might be familiar with. We use it often, not because we don’t like having hope, but because we don’t like being disappointed or let down. However, we shouldn’t let our desire to shield ourselves from disappointment keep us from the great experience of having hope in the waiting and seeing what we have hoped for come to be.

In this episode, we look at hope from all the angles and explore the effects it can have on our everyday lives. We look at why hope is so essential to living a full life, how to tip the scales more towards the positive experiences, hope in community and so much more.
