S05E001, I'm Fine! Endurance

https://vimeo.com/729322413

On this, the first episode of Season 5, we talk about how we use the phrase “I’m fine.”

We had a short break, but we’re back with a newly refined season of Endurance.

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

#GoDeeper
Steven begins his first ever GoDeeper by stating the rather obvious fact, that saying you are fine when you are not, is lying.

He goes on to unpack Colossians 3:9, which commands us not to lie to one another (other Christians).

He points out that when one lies about being fine, it is not helpful, because how can anyone help if no one knows that something is wrong. [READ MORE]

There’s always hope!

There are times in our lives when we feel hopeless, when we can’t see a way out, a way forward, a way to resolve our circumstances and we lose hope.

It’s fair to say that there were many moments in the Lord of the Rings when at various times different characters struggled with the events that were so dark and dismal that their feelings of hopelessness were revealed.

When Helm’s Deep was under attack with only three hundred men inside trying to defend themselves against an army of over ten thousand orcs there was, understandably fear and despair amongst the men. And to make matters worse many of these men had not seen battle or never even used a sword before. Not good! [READ MORE]

S02E001, Delight in the Law of the Lord, Family Prayer Time

https://vimeo.com/728876181

“Be honest, be truthful, be real with God.”

Peter & JoJo launch a new series of Family Prayer Time, getting together to encourage us, as always - to pray as a family. In this new series, Pete and Jo are praying through the psalms, starting with Psalm 1 because it’s good to start at the beginning, a very good place to start…...!

Be encouraged to read the bible together during Family Prayer Time, as JoJo says, prayer is communicating with God which means talking and listening, so if we think about it if we read the bible we are listening to God as the bible is God’s word.

In this episode, Peter and JoJo read through the whole of Psalm 1 as their prayer which reveals the difference between following Jesus and following the wicked. [READ MORE]

S04E100, Pausing Is Good for You!! Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/729620672

Well, that’s it - this is my 100th episode of Andy B 2 Minute Videos in this current season (and my 148th overall). We’ve only recently reached 1,000 posts across the BerryBunch, and now I’ve just finished my 100th episode of my weekday thought provokers. It’s a moment to celebrate what I’ve been able to do by the guiding, and providing, of God.

With this current season we saw the biggest changes to our online ministry:

- we’ve added another pair of studio lights
- we’ve invested in 2 x studio quality microphones
- we were blessed with a gift to buy BerryBunch t-shirts
- we were blessed with a gift to buy a studio camera
- we’ve added in brand new, funky jingles

I’m definitely no perfectionist, but I do like doing things to a high standard, especially when doing them for God and, at this point, I’m really thrilled with...[READ MORE]

You need not be afraid of sudden disaster…for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.

But, fear not – we’re nearly to publish my 2nd book, which is a collection of Andy B 2 Minute Videos for you to enjoy in paper form, or even on your kindle or other digital reading device.

S04E099, Little Things Matter Too! Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/729273405

On the floor of our studio, for about 2 weeks, has been a tiny piece of black foam.

I knew what it is – the foam cover from a pair of small headphones. But the studio floor is also a fairly busy place, so I left it, and then forgot about it and, then, well, rinse and repeat until I make an Andy B 2 Minute Video out of it!

Eventually I worked out who it belonged to when I spotted Jo’s earphones, missing one circle of black foam from one side - and I finally went to pick it up: I’ll replace the missing one from Jo’s earphones later today from the small bag of spare foam covers that we have, just in case someone loses it on the studio floor, just for example!

But this got me thinking about how often in life we leave things ‘cluttering up the place’. [READ MORE]

Life is a lot like gardening, with seemingly endless work, that seeks to get you down.

Remember to celebrate the good and take time out to smell the roses when they bloom.

#TestimonyTuesday: 1,000 Posts – How did that happen?

I wondered if this was a proper #TestimonyTuesday post. My family – rather passionately – told me that it was, so, here we are!

1,000 posts is quite a thing to celebrate, and it’s only because of God! So, enjoy some of the journey that led to the BerryBunch.family website and Online Ministry, and quite a few miracles along the way. [READ MORE]

S04E098, Peace Trumps Fear, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/728824658

The UK has seen a terrifying increase in costs for heating and cooking. In the middle of summer, heating seems like something to not worry about. But the latest estimates are that a family who are paying £300 in the summer, will be paying £500 by October and £550 by January. As a family we were only paying £100 at the start of the year. That’s a five fold increase!

In the midst of this our UK Prime Minister has been forced to resign, which leads people to wondering what – and who - comes next, and I struggle to see how we won’t have a Summer, and Autumn, of strikes and protests as poverty bites ever harder on the poorest people of our nation, which is rapidly spreading to those with greater wealth as bills grow, while wages shrink rapidly by comparison with rising living costs.
