When life hurts, the first thing we ask is 'why?'. Adam shares how we might never know the reason we were wounded, but asks: Do we want to be healed?

Anca tells a story of two sisters who share the same day, but have extremely different experiences, and how we can continue to re-write our stories through the right author.

Paul shares on being present, being in the moment, and how we can avoid missing what God wants to do. We can give strength to those who need it if we're attentive...

Adam shares the second part of 'the power of story'. This time Adam shares more insight into the way we see ourselves and our experiences, with a powerful practical way we can train to tell our story more like the way He tells it.

Have you ever heard two people describe the same event, but they seem to have experienced it completely differently? Adam shares how God might want to work with you, to tell your story differently.

Adam explores the new in the old and asks what it means for God to make all things new.

Is there a cupboard in your house you shove everything in when you do the 'quick' tidy? Here's how a Netflix show, cleaning and Katana swords all speak about discipleship, and why we all need it more than ever.

Warehouses, swords and roars... Adam shares the second part of his 'something borrowed' series. He shares, very practically, how we start to own those things that we've borrowed so far. Find out how you give voice to what's already on the inside of you.

Inspired by elements of Paul's dream (shared last week), Adam shares from the old poem often told about weddings: 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue'... Maybe it's time those things we borrow, we start to own for ourselves.

Paul shares a series of dreams that point to scripture, and our futures for 2019. To watch the 'dream' video played at the beginning, follow this link: https://youtu.be/G3SvuqIlf48

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder." Paul shares about what that means for us as we grow up and make disciples of the nations.

Grace doesn't just excuse you. Grace doesn't just bring you to neutral. Grace presents you; it speaks your future... and it's always GOOD! Matt encourages us in the way we speak about ourselves and each other.

Adam finds a flow in the book of many books that we call the Bible. It seems God is always looking for redemption, but He needs a body. This leaves us with one question...

Do the words 'ought, should and must' resonate when you think about Christmas gifts? Adam shares about the grace of giving, love languages, and replacing 'ought, should and must' with something much more beautiful.

Adam explores why Jesus was like an F55 stealth fighter, and why we need to be too.

Are we scared to let love flow? Would we have questioned and rebuked when Jesus let a woman anoint His feet with oil? Paul explores the heart of the father, and what His kingdom really looks like.

Is everything really acceptable, or do we need to lay down the law? Adam explores the way Jesus shows how to walk the tightrope between grace and truth.

Have you ever felt like the world doesn't know you're actually just blagging your way through adulthood? Sometimes we act 'wise beyond our years', other times we act our shoe size, not our age! Adam explores what it really means to own this process we call 'growing up'.

Paul shares about those who are forgotten, uninvited, tolerated and an seem like an 'after-thought'.

Have you ever felt out of place at a celebration? Sometimes, we sit in a corner feeling sorry for ourselves, at a party thrown in our own honour. Anca explores the reasons we sometimes stay in guilt, when the father is calling us out of it.
