6: New hope: Spending time with the God who created springtime

Thu, 06 May 2021 17:00:00 +0100

Do you feel a little tired or deflated, even though spring is in the air and the end of lockdown is in sight?

Even if it feels hard to believe it, new beginnings are happening in the fabric of your life just as certainly as leaves are appearing on the trees. The exercises in this episode are designed to help you start to take notice, and to spend time with the One who first thought up the idea of fresh hope, and who can tell you Himself what you have to hope for.

I hope the practical exercises in this episode will give you real reasons to look forward to what's next, and give you a taste of the abundance God has in store.

Is it okay to get frustrated sometimes? Yes. Is it okay to share with God why you are frustrated? Also yes.

This episode is real talk about weeks when we're running dry and can't, don't or won't set aside the time to be filled up by God, followed by;

1. An example of me losing my cool
2. Why I hope that you can vent with God when you are frustrated
3. A post-venting invitation to join me in looking for signs of hope, even when the situation doesn't seem to be solved yet.

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 16:00:00 +0100

What kind of conversation can we have with God simply by listening to a piece of music? Is this a way in which God wants to meet with us?

In this episode, I create a space for you to sit back and encounter the richness and complexity that any piece of music brings, and experience for yourself how a conversation with God might emerge as you simply put in your headphones and begin to listen....

3: What does God want to talk about with you?

Do you sometimes get stuck even before you talk to God because there are a few things that you find it hard to talk with Him about?

In this episode we talk about real struggles that can get in the way of talking to God, and give a practical idea for approaching these subjects with Him so you can actually experience the reality that there is nothing God doesn't want to talk about with you.

To finish, I'd love to share with you some stories about how God makes me laugh in my everyday life, and invite you to ask God to do the same throughout your week!

2: What kind of time does God want to spend with you?

Thu, 11 Mar 2021 19:00:00 +0000

Do you ever wonder if God wants to spend time with you just to spend time with you? What does 'spending time' with God even mean?

In this episode we chat about what it might look like to spend 'agenda-free' time with God - not time for asking, learning, or doing, but time just to enjoy.

1: What even is deep relationship?

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 18:00:00 +0000

How does God describe the type of relationship He wants to have with you?

In this 'foundations episode' we chat through the answers to this question that we can find in the Bible. This episode sets the stage for conversations to come where we will be exploring the beautiful, colorful, and sometimes surprising depths of relationship that God has in mind for each of us.
