S02E002, Marriage Matters – Coming Up, 30.07.2022, Marriage For The Maker
What's coming up in our next Marriage Matters Podcast?
In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo challenge us to consider how our marriages measure up to God’s standard. Andy and Jo remind us that marriage is God’s design, noting that God created one man and one woman and said they should go forth and multiply and that the two become one flesh which is spelt out in Genesis.
Join us for Marriage Matters: Saturdays from 4pm

Endurance, Know Thyself, S04E009
This week we are discussing the idea of knowing our own strengths, weaknesses, and temptations in order to better develop in our physical fitness and in the faith.
Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
#GoDeeper
Andy B delves deeper into this week’s theme from the angle of knowing who we are in Christ, i.e., knowing that we are free from our sins.
He unpacks Psalm 139:23 by pointing out that being a Christian not only involves God encouraging us but also involves God cleaning out all the sin in our lives.
GoDo
Steven and Nathan discuss this week’s theme, “Know Thyself”. They provide three useful challenges for us to #GoDo.
- Know your strengths
- Know your weaknesses
- Know your temptations

Endurance, Honestly, I’m Fine, S4E05
Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
Andy B begins this week’s theme, “Honestly, I’m fine”, with a reminder of how skilled we can become at hiding our emotions through “Sunday smiles”.
He warns us that sometimes people will ask us how we are without really wanting to know the answer, reminding us to only ask a question if we are willing to hear the response.
Steven and Nathan challenge us to be honest with God and others, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Nathan quotes Ephesians 4:25, which looks at the subject of honesty with fellow believers.
And the two of them discuss Jesus’ perfect example of honesty, as well David, who wrote many of the Psalms, and the way he was honest with God.

In order to kickstart this week’s theme Andy B gives some real-life examples of inexperienced people thinking they know better than those with experience, reminding us of the downsides of being proud.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Dehumidifiers, Control and Trust, S4, E17
We have a dehumidifier in our home. Because, in our last home, we had horrendous damp, which led to serious problems with mould.
And we were thankful that we were able to get some great advice about which sort of dehumidifier to buy. And so we bought the type we were advised to buy.
And ours really is superb. You set the humidity level you want in your home, which you can find in the manual, and you switch it on. That’s it – other than emptying the tank when it is full of water. [READ MORE]
Just a thought…

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
Explore with us as we talk about ‘Training with Others’.
As usual, we have #GoDeeper with Andy B and #GoDo with Steven and Nathan.
Go Deeper with Andy B, as he digs deeper into the subject of training with others.
He talks about the impact that encouragement has on athletes in sports events.
He relates an occasion when he was cycling, and Steven came alongside him while running, and the influence their individual efforts had on one another.
He also expands the wisdom in Ecclesiastes, concerning the strength two people have together as opposed to one person on their own, because different strengths and weaknesses complement one another in different ways.

Endurance, Season 3, Episode 3, Spiritual Food
Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
Explore with us as we look at the topic of ‘Spiritual Food’, and what relevance it has in our training for Godliness.
#GoDeeper with Andy B, as he talks about spiritual food.
He reads a few different Scriptures, including Hebrews 5:11-14, which speak of food & sustenance in one way or another.
He looks at ‘seeker-friendly’ services, and how they should not be the only type of service in our church, because, sooner or later, we all need to #GoDeeper. It’s appropriate for new converts to have spiritual ‘milk’, but, eventually, we need to start having spiritual ‘meat’.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Focus, Time, Distractions And Calling, S4, E1
With all that has been happening recently, Andy B has been finding sleep rather elusive!
Afghanistan; vaccination passports; President Biden; forced covid vaccinations for under 12s in Finland; global temperature fluctuations being used for political control and financial gain; China and Taiwan; a forced Home Education register in the UK – there is much to see around us that can easily cause us anxiety and worry.
But, as Christians what is God calling us to do?
What should our response be to these things that are currently shaking the very foundations of humanity?
