@Berrybunchfamily

Since I joined DingDash I've had the privilege of meeting people from all round the world. We're made friends with people from Scotland, Poland, Finland, Nigeria the US, Canada and more places than I can think of right now - even Bradford, England 😉

I've been honoured to stand in prayer with new [to me] brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, mums and dads

Its been an bonkur so far 🙂

And then I get to meet someone like @Olamide who is now a best friend. We've never met, and yet we've shared so much of lifes ups and downs
Awesome doesn't come close!

And THAT is the [good] power of the internet; of social media; of DingDash; of the Gospel of Jesus Christ - bringing people together who otherwise wouldn't

Blessings y'all from our little corner of God's planet

@sinbach @bethany @tymektt @tanjaostman @MaryMamuzich @Kruselady @Cherishingsparrows2020 and so many more than I'd ever have room for here in 1,000 characters.

Am feeling especially blessed by my DingDash family today

@Olamide hey up bruv,

Its what we do and I could do no other. We got each others back for the Lord.
😎
Its all for His glory, but I'll take the thankyou for my small part

@tymektt beautiful whether morning or evening!

Endurance, If you always do what you’ve always done… S04E010

vimeo.com/708364808

This week we are discussing taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone.

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!


Andy B unpacks this week’s theme by first defining what we mean by the expression: “If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got.”

He further explains taking risks with examples of stepping out in faith from his own life.

GoDo
Steven and Nathan discuss taking risks, especially in view of the remarkable exploits of Benaiah, a well-known character in the Bible.

They explain why not taking risks can be riskier than taking risks; being inside your comfort zone is often more dangerous than being outside your comfort zone.

With a photograph of the Dead Sea in front of them Peter and JoJo pray for Israel.

Shalom.

lives are being transformed...
“I now understand the way I feel is okay. I was challenged to state where I stand in this relationship. I would tell younger couples always take time to get to know the individual that you choose to spend your life with.”

“I was just sitting there thinking how the Lord Jesus sent you to go through the book, Learning to Live with Fences. I just turned 18 last month-been hospitalized more than 10 times-6 times I attempted suicide and 4 times for unusual behavior-each admissions was 3 to 4 months. I felt depressed, hopeless, neglected by my parents, suicidal. You helped me to cope when you studied and counseled me doing a better job, better than the doctors & nurses themselves.”

“I haven’t been studying the Word. Now I study the Word more, I get more understanding & do a lot of praying & telling others about God.”

“I was so scared with COVID-19, but this is what I prayed for. It was so clear-I took what you taught us & help my friends in their conflicts.”

@moamfj I’m glad you made it through all of that. I also tried to kill myself and ended up with a bad head fracture. Thankfully God gave me my life back. I’m trying to stay close to Him now.

We went shopping today and didn't notice any panic in our city today. 😅 We live our lives as usual - what else could we do? But of course it's not fun to neighbor Russia, and the last two months Finns have been worried, and Russia, Ukraine, NATO, and our defense is the main topics on news every day. Some days I wake up with anxiety. Finland (and Sweden will probably follow suit) will apply for NATO membership, and Russia has made clear that it won't be without consequences. Our president Sauli Niinistö made a phone call to Mr Putin today. He is probably the head of a state who has talked to Putin the most. Putin didn't express any direct threat today, but said it will affect our relationship. (Finland has been a neutral buffer state between Russia and West ever since after WW2. When we join NATO those neutral days are gone, and we become an enemy). Please pray for Finland, and our president, who has a key position because of his relation with Putin! Niinistö and his wife are Christian.

Marriage Matters, ‘Work hard, play hard’, S01E016

vimeo.com/708344791

Introduction

In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo talk about holidays and resting, whether you go abroad, travel far and wide or have a staycation or whether you take time off to celebrate a special occasion or simply make the most of the Bank Holiday weekend. Whatever you do, wherever you go and whoever you go with, Andy and Jo ask what is your heart for these holidays, what are you doing it for and will your marriage benefit?

Andy and Jo affirm the importance of rest but interestingly this week they find no holidays or bible passages about holidays specifically in the bible, but they do find celebrations. And let’s face it Jesus’ first miracle is to change water into wine, so clearly God wants us to ‘let our hair down’!

The bible tells us to rest and gives many examples of celebrations

@TakeN this reminds me of you! A bright big heart in this dark world!

"When our eyes are fixed on the waves, we keenly sense our powerlessness. But when our eyes are fixed on the One who rules the waves, we’re infused with the courage to endure them, trusting that God not only holds the power over them, but the power to sustain us in them".

@sinbach to be honest, this one actually made me feel just a little bit sick 🤮

Andy B

I honestly don't know if it's a good or bad idea to join NATO when you have a long border to Russia. It's very provocative from the Russian point of view. The biggest problem for Finland is and has always been Russia - that's sad, because it's a well functioning, western, democratic country that's been set as an example and ranked the best country in the world in several rankings. I don't blame ordinary Russians, but the Russian power, that has ruled, threatened and killed my forefathers throughout history. That made my parents' generation fatherless - by physical or emotional death. We haven't totally recovered yet.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Getting Past The Gag Reflex, S04E071

Feelings come and go. They can be like the changing of the winds at the seaside and, if we let them, they’ll blow us round in circles. Feelings are a great way of measuring our emotions. They act as a thermometer for our body. But, feelings can lie too!

I’ve used this illustration many times, but it is so true: you can eat a pudding, following a huge meal, but then feel ill because you ate too much. And yet, you felt like you had the room to eat it before you began. What happened? You trusted your feelings, and got it wrong because feelings change. [READ MORE]
