@tanjaostman it takes quite a bit of effort! we know only too well
this is one we did (Jo and I), very early on last year, when we didn't really know what we were doing
they were a bit rushed fro a project we were working on
i'd love to take some time to do this, properly, with the songs i've written
i'm not so happy with how it turned out, but i do love worshipping with my wife π
@tanjaostman thanks - I thought that's what you meant ;-)
@tanjaostman wow. He's fabulous!!!!! I really enjoyed that - thanks for sharing
@tanjaostman ace. I'm a keyboard man cos I never had the finger strength for a piano
You got a proper little band there π
@tanjaostman I have lots of thoughts on this topic, having been a worship leader for more than 3 decades across traditional to contemporary, and childrens worship
@DevotionalTreasures as for doubts, I had those for my Andy B video "Wisdom Trumps Experience, S3, E27"
I put a lot of thoughts I've had ivet a number of years, and they came together in this video....my write up expands some of those
I'm waiting for some negative 'feedback' when people do watch it/read it because I don't think the majority of people want to think about the things I bring up.
But it is life! And we shouldn't shy away from stuff, just 'cos it may not be well received by all
Also tried not to be unecessarily offensive with it too.....
@tanjaostman YES. THIS!!!!!!!
@tanjaostman this is the YouTube video I mentioned https://youtu.be/qrS-xo6kj5c
@tanjaostman and mindfulness!!!!!!! Will try to resist my soap box on that issue. suffice to say that (and this is my considered/experienced opinion) anything that promotes emptying your mind is utter rubbish! That, in a nutshell, is mindfulness.
Jo had to to learn to deliver a programme for offendors that uses mindfulness...first time she was trained up, she passed and was considered exceptional, but she quit before the training course had completed because of that 1 issue, & then took a vicar (so called) & the woman who wrote the course - a Christian (so called) who both said it was great. Now (5 years on) it isn't used hardly at all, by any of her colleagues - who all avoid it!
By God's grace (& - we believe - her efforts the first time round (she has never had to deal with 'that' element & manages to avoid it
As for yoga - ugh!!!!!! So many Christians are pulled away from Jesus by that, but that is the single aim of yoga (being acceptable to Christians) & it does it well
@tanjaostman John Cooper (lead singer of Skillet, and a fantastic brother in Christ) did a special, video, podcast on exactly this issue, joined by his wife - Korey Cooper (she is such a daughter of the King!) Jeremy Camp, his wife and another lady I don't know anything about
I watched a good portion, and it was great (well, being totally honest - Korey Cooper, John Cooper and Jeremy Camp were amazing...the other two, not so much for me...)
@MaryMamuzich me too. So much for my plans to go exploring earlier!
@Kruselady oh yes π
This wil become an Andy B 2 Minute Video soon enough π
And it was going so well - exploring somewhere completely new, and some beautiful weather to boot
Two puncture repairs later and I had to resort to putting my Kevlar puncture prevention strip underneath the inner tube, against the wheel....my newly fitted rear wheel was missing the protective strip that sits against the wheel, and my inner tube now has regularly spaced holes from the recesses for the spokes...
Oh well, I've got the wheel strip from my last wheel and a spare inner tube
Still... frustrated I made such a dumb mistake! And that I had to cut short my ride, just to crawl home.

@Olamide π
This is concerning for ALL Christians.
APPLE is using access to photos, messages, and videos on iPhones and iCloud to report criminals, but could their cozy relationship with China change what crimes they report? https://backtojerusalem.com/revealed-apple-uses-access-to-iphone-and-icloud-to-catch-criminals/
@Olamide accountability...not a popular word
And yet, so important
@DevotionalTreasures The encouy was easy to deliver ;-)
And yes, I totally agree, that we've cheapened the word love to mean pretty much everything except it's actual meaning!
When love equals sex, as the society around seeks to restrict it to, it is no wonder we have such issues in society π
@DevotionalTreasures Another fabulous read!!
How often in life we seek many things, but most of all we seek love...

This is Part 3, of a 3-part Teaching series on Prayer and Faith.
With discussion around Fish and Chips, Sweet and Sour Sauce and Gloves and hands, Andy B does his usual and takes ordinary, every day objects and situations, and helps us dig deeper into the basics of how Faith and Prayer work together.
With a very strong reminder, and warning - from the book of James - about why we need both Faith and Prayer, Andy B encourages us to all to get on our knees more, to learn to know Jesus better.
And, just like Fish and Chips or Sweet and Sour Sauce, Faith and Prayer complement each other perfectly.
