S05E012, Training for a Purpose, Endurance
On this episode, we are looking at the idea of training for a purpose and with a goal.
Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
Go Deeper
In this week’s GoDeeper Steven starts off by relating the need to train for a marathon to the value of training for our future. He gives an example of training for the future from his own life.
Steven also warns about planning too much for the future, because after all we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. On that note, he points out that we can’t prepare ourselves for everything. [READ MORE]

S02E012, Psalm 11, Family Prayer Time
JoJo and Peter continue to read from the Book of Psalms for Prayer as a family and this time they read together the whole of Psalm 11 because there are only seven verses after all!
In this Family Prayer Time, JoJo and Peter encourage us to read Psalm 11 out loud as a form of prayer, because it’s as relevant today as when it was written by King David all those years ago.
The Psalm reminds us of how God protects us, that God rules and God will deal with the wicked – Go on declare these truths as a family today and say with JoJo and Peter:
‘I trust in the Lord for protection’
Amen!
Peter and Jo Jo

@sarikorpi I'll check it out when I have a moment free
@KarlGessler ex trucker here - well done!!
my favourite past time was watching people trying to reverse into trucker sized bays at truck stops...sometimes i'd watch for the whole 45 minutes break...
@KarlGessler awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@daniel awesome
@sarikorpi haven't seen the video. just wanted to say that's great about closed captions/subtitles as they're not the easiest things to get right and take some time
we make subtitles for almost all our videos...it's a labour of love, but we hope it might help people who don't speak English as a first language, or who might simply struggle with our English accents...and my tendency to speak a little quick

@daniel i have a physical note book...hardly the most secure, but it can't crash or be deleted accidentally
S05E024, Push or Pull? Andy B 2 Minute Video
Every day we have to make decision whether to push ahead or pull back. It can be as simple as whether we rush into the car park for our daily work, or taking our time to letting someone take our place in the supermarket queue, or jumping in between two people who are arguing.
From the simple to the complex, we have to make these decisions.
Earlier, I went out for a cycle and got caught in the rain. I tried sheltering behind a tree as the rain was more horizontal than vertical. But, it didn’t offer me enough protection.
Eventually I made the decision just to push on ahead home which was just 5 minutes or so further along the road I was on.
In my case I made the right call – it rained for a good 60 minutes after I had arrived home. Much longer standing in the rain and I could have started to get cold. [READ MORE]

How adaptable are we? Oh, and I’ve got a new book coming out
What struck me today is that I had an idea for a video. Actually, I had several. I didn’t run out of time. I did get focused on a different project. Because, you see, the proof copy for my next book arrived & I’m super excited about it. So much so that I decided to devote time to fixing a few minor alterations that needed to be made, and then to authorise creation of an eBook that will be offered as a choice for those that prefer it.
So, at long last, I’ve decided to use the spot at 6pm (UK time) that would normally be my Andy B 2 Minute Video, to tell you about our need to never to be so focused on something that we miss something else even more important. It’s easy to forget that we serve God, not ourselves. And that, my dear friends, requires a great deal of humility and willingness to be adaptable.
Which leads me nicely on to my next book project – called, cleverly, Just a thought…
