Well, he's home now. Possibly an infection, or something potentially serious with the blood flow from his heart to his stomach...still needs a little prayer as he waits in the appointment to check out this potential stomach issue.

Just found out a friend was discovered collapsed behind his till at work this morning

He's been taken to hospital for tests and an MRI.

Prayers would be welcome: they have two adopted children

Hello my brother,

What do you think about your new PM? Is she going to help Italy?

When I read the news she is simply said to be 'far right'.

But I find that to be an unhelpful way to describe her - as the people who say that are very liberal.

S02E009, Money Matters, Part 2, Marriage Matters

https://vimeo.com/749591528

Andy B and Jo return to Money Matters in Marriage Matters this week – matters about Money that matters because Money matters in Marriage, just like matters about marriage matters!

Jo starts with reviewing Part 1 and highlights how finances have been a top reason for arguments in marriages and reminding us that there are around 2000 scripture verses relating to money – so must be important!

There were some muddled matters in this week’s Marriage Matters, but in the end Andy B delivered on some scriptures to help us:

- Hebrews 13:5-6
- Proverbs 23:4
- Luke 12:24

The Meaty Section

Andy and Jo chew through some difficult topics and try and make sense of it all.

S05E0010, Healthy Competition, Endurance

https://vimeo.com/749700488

On this episode, we focus on the concept of Godly competition.

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

#GoDeeper

Steven begins GoDeeper this week, by giving examples of competition in everyday life. He briefly reminisces over Queen Elizabeth’s entrance to the 2012 Olympic games.

Steven gives us one of his favourite accounts in Scripture, compares competitiveness to pride using an example from his own life, and warns against cheating. He also warns spectators against favouritism.

Ultimately, he challenges us all to be good sports. [READ MORE]

S02E009, Victorious Prayer, Family Prayer Time

https://vimeo.com/723363901

Peter & JoJo continue to encourage us to pray as a family by reading aloud from the Psalms. This time, Peter and Jo read a select number of verses from Psalm 9 as a Prayer, reminding us of the validity and value of the words for today.

Peter tells us that this was a Psalm written by David after he was victorious and how David is showing his gratitude to God for this Victory.

JoJo reminds us of the importance of being thankful and praising God when things go well in our lives

So, Join Peter and JoJo in praising God -Praise the Lord with all your heart!

60 Second Update, Issue 28

https://vimeo.com/751786623

60 Seconds is all it takes to make sure you've not missed out on any of our posts, videos and resources - or exciting events we've got coming up.

In Case You Missed It

Endurance – Mustn’t Grumble
Steven and Nathan explain to us why ‘mustn’t grumble’ is more than just a saying – it is a biblical principle that we need to follow.

Are you familiar with the account of the Israelites’ grumbling? If not, then you may want to watch this episode. The lesson to be learned from this Scripture might not be so comfortable, but it is very important.

S05E017, Just Stand Still! Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/753019821

In 1996 my girlfriend, and I, were walking through the central heart of Manchester City Centre. We had noticed a very heavy police presence, and police helicopters flying overhead but we had no clue what was shortly coming!

There was a sudden crack, and a thunderous noise - with a shockwave I’ve never been able to verbalise. People were screaming and glass panels, many times larger than a person, were falling dangerously close. One strike from any one of those panes would have killed you outright.

Jo and I were standing underneath those panels as they fell to the ground.

All in all we got off fairly lightly – I only had to deal with a pounding, excruciating headache that never abated, for several weeks. I was told I got off lighter than many other people. [READ MORE]

S05E016, Take 5!!!, Andy B 2 Minute Video

Are you in a busy season right now?

There’s nothing wrong with being busy! But, when you’re experiencing a period of time with a little more to do than normal, don’t forget to take 5 and, in my case, make yourself a mug of tea and enjoy what you’ve already managed to get done!

Just a thought…

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 22.09.2022

Always make sure that faith is an active part of your financial planning.

It isn’t a nice luxury, that can be helpful sometimes.

Faith is as valuable as the air we breathe.

S05E014, Helpers are Helpful! Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/751763538

When life throws you something you weren’t expecting, it’s always a good idea to get some help!

Sometimes those helpers can do no more than just listen to whatever it is you are struggling with. But, they can also have some wisdom – especially if they have also been through something similar.

Our initial reaction is something we really don’t have much say about. It’s mostly from who we are.

For example, when disaster strikes my wife is simply brilliant She isn’t fazed at all! Later on, she will reflect…and maybe cry over what happened early.

Me? Well, I crumble first! Like a chocolate tea pot.

It’s mostly how I’m made up – but I’m also brilliant later on.

I wonder who you’re more like? [READ MORE]

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 20.09.2022

Don’t invest so heavily in the future, that you forget to invest in the present.

Planning for the future can be great. But, so is living in the present.

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 21.09.2022

A good marriage isn’t all about compromise.

A good marriage is all about sacrifice.

Compromise may help in the short term, but sacrifice lasts a life time.
