Andy B 2 minute Video, Heat, Tiredness and Hydration, S3, E21

Heat can do funny things to us.

But so can our memories!

How easily can we forget how good we may have been at something, because our failures always shout louder don’t they?.....

Endurance, Season 2, Episode 9, Being Flexible

Steven introduces our theme this week – Being Flexible


Go Deeper with Andy B, as he talks about how to be flexible.
He looks at the importance of being flexible physically, and how that relates to being flexible spiritually.


Steven & Nathan discuss what it means to ‘be flexible’:

Read and Remember:
Muscles need to be flexible, and this is a great metaphor for how we see our spiritual exercise too! Steven encourages us to read our Scripture for this week; James 4:13-16.

Reflect and Respond:
Nathan challenges us to be flexible because, just as it is vital that our physical muscles remain flexible, so it is that we remain spiritually flexible, because that will make us effective in our work for God.

Andy B 2 minute Video Vlog, Planning, Preparation and Puzzles, S3, E17

We get reminders to renew our house insurance, our car insurance, our breakdown cover and host of other things.

But do we put as much effort into ensuring our car doesn’t suddenly become illegal to drive on the road, or let our house insurance run out ; if we’re renting in the UK this is something we can’t, not, have.

As Christians - when we pray - are we praying to a loving, Father God who desires us to spend time with Him?

Or do we prefer to pray using a non-permanent pen, just in case we got our prayer wrong and don’t want to look foolish.

When we’re praying, as David Wilkerson wonderful pointed out and illustrated in his book “The Cross and The Switchblade” when we pray we should pray out loud so others can hear us.

To me, that is the difference between writing with permanent and non-permanent pen; praying so others can hear might make us look foolish if ‘it doesn’t work out’. But it also demonstrates that we’re serious about what we’re speaking to God about.

Endurance, Series 2, Episode 8, The Warm Up

Steven introduces our theme this week – The Warm Up.

As usual, we have with Andy B and with Steven and Nathan.


Go Deeper with Andy B, who talks about ‘the warm up’ in relation to church and that uncommonly used word “edification”.

He looks at the idea of going to church, not to be served and to ‘consume’, but to edify fellow Believers, just as it says in our Scripture, 1 Corinthians 14:26.

We wouldn’t go the gym and expect to get fit by spectating. In the same way, we shouldn’t got to church and simply be consumers – we’re called to edify one another, and that’s means arriving at church, ready to worship and get involved in what is going on; as active participants - church is not meant to be a social club, after all!


Steven & Nathan discuss what ‘The Warm Up’ is all about:

Endurance, Season 2, Episode 7, Stay on Target!

Steven introduces our theme this week – Stay on Target!

As usual, we have with Andy B and with Steven and Nathan.


Go Deeper with Andy B as he explains what staying on target means.
He talks about how we should be witnessing to those in our orbit. We don’t have to travel to a foreign country to preach the Gospel. We ought to show God’s love to whomever He places within our reach, like our colleagues at work.

He also touches on the topic of pleasing others. We can’t possibly please everyone. Instead we should please God by doing what He has asked us to do.


Steven & Nathan discuss what ‘Staying on Target’ means for us, and what we can do about it:

Endurance, Season 2, Episode 5, Keeping It Real

As usual, we have with Andy B and with Steven and Nathan.


Using James 2 v 14-17, Matthew 23 v 27-28 and 1 Samuel 16 v 10, Andy B goes deeper and focuses on being real, in light of the fact that God sees the heart.

We often think of what the outside looks like, and appearance is much easier to spot.

But James, as ever, gets straight to the point, and makes us question whether or not we’re actually saved – if we aren’t outputting the fruit of the Spirit do we really love Jesus?

Steven introduces our theme this week – Keeping It Pure!

youtu.be/VNj13-lGY7c


GoDeeper with Andy B, as he looks at how to stay pure.

He talks about the importance of not looking at things that are unhealthy, as it won’t lead us closer to Jesus.

And he explains the link between Philippians 4:8 and Matthew 18:9.


Steven & Nathan give us 2 challenges for the week ahead in :

Read and Remember:
Steven encourages us to read the Scriptures for this week; Philippians 4:4-8 and Matthew 18:9, and to remember that what we continually see and hear will inevitably influence the way we live.

Reflect and Respond:
Nathan challenges us to think about what areas of our lives are not pure, and to allow God to cleanse those areas, by focusing on what is good and pure.

My latest Andy B 2 Minute Video - all on Projection, Reality and Giant Spiders

If you’re not a fan of giant spiders, read on!

This is kind of, all about, the very opposite of giant spiders, as Andy B looks at how projected images distort reality!

So where in our lives, are we fearing something terrifying and monstrous – when it is really just a projected image making something look bigger than it really is?

Steven & Nathan give us 2 challenges for the week ahead in :

Read and Remember:
Steven encourages us to read the Scripture for this week; James 4:6, and suggests we actually memorise that verse.

We’re looking forward to getting back to our regular, weekday, Live Broadcasts Prayer times – at our new time of 7pm UK (3pm EDT) on our Facebook page, from Monday 24th May 2021.

We take 10 minutes to pray for things in the world, and work through prayer requests we’ve been sent: we’ve been honoured to pray for people all over the world.

So, if Prayer moves mountains, what’s your mountain that you’d like us to pray for?

Or, putting it another way, what mountains has God already moved for you that you can share with others to encourage us all.
