S03E011, How to live a blameless life, Family Prayer Time
Peter and JoJo continue to encourage us to pray as a family by reading the Psalms as prayers. This time they read the whole of Psalm 15 which has only 5 verses. Peter points out that Psalm 15 provides bullet points for a godly life.
Peter and JoJo take in turns reading out loud the Psalm one verse at a time and as they do reminding us of how we can live a blameless life, for example by speaking the truth and refusing to gossip.

S05E063, Know Thyself, Andy B 2 Minute Video
If you had to write a biography about yourself what would it say and how easy would you find such an exercise.
God tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made; that He hand made us on purpose and for a purpose.
So, if you were saying who God had made you to be, how would you go about that?

S05E062, On Purpose, Andy B 2 Minute Video
Let’s go somewhere controversial. It shouldn’t be, but it is. So, let’s get this out at the beginning.
Evolution is not true!
It isn’t false because I say it is. Even Charles Darwin stated it was only a theory – and a theory that has never been proven to be true. Actually, the opposite has happened. But, let’s stick to the facts here.

E05E061, But I don't want to fight, Andy B 2 Minute Video
It’s easy to jump into the day with a smile on our face and a coffee in our hand. Although I don’t recommend jumping with a coffee in your hand, unless you have a sealed flask that you trust. Then your smile will change and you’ll remember you should have drunk tea instead!
However we start the day – whether we love mornings or loathe them, we all face similar issues, that have nothing to do with how much money we have, whether we work in the home or in an office or on a building site or whether we work at all!

S04E001, Let there be light! - Dave Unleashed
Join Dave the Dog in a new series of Dave unleashed – but don’t worry JoJo is there to keep him on track if he strays! As usual, be prepared for Dave’s doggy antics and jokes!
Dave introduces Story time and Art time and finds it difficult to believe that there was a time when there were no dogs!

S05E060, Praise God, Nuff Said! Andy B 2 Minute Video
Whatever is going on; whatever your life looks like right now; wherever you’ve come from; whatever is looming ahead of you – there is always reason to Praise God!
At the time of recording this video, I am finding myself breathless.
For me, it will pass and is simply the side effect of having my heart medication dropped by 50%. That is a good thing, but it is not a pleasant thing to work through!...[READ MORE]...

S05E059, Accountably Accountable… Andy B 2 Minute Video
We all see change and can get a bit freaked out. Losing control is another one that can make us very uncomfortable.
Perhaps I’m more unique though, because I really do enjoy change! I’m not daft enough to think that some change doesn’t infuriate me. But that’s because a lot of change is utterly unnecessary.
Here’s the thing for those of us who have decided to become Christians – change, and losing control, is at the very core of being a Christian!...[READ MORE]...

S03E010, Only the fool denies God, Family Prayer Time
JoJo and Peter continue reading the Psalms as prayers, encouraging us this time to read the whole of Psalm 14 as a family together; there are only seven verses after all!
Take in turns reading a verse each, have one person read the Psalm or listen to the bible as you remember God is real and will bring justice in the end, awesome!...[READ MORE]...

Steven and Nathan
Well, that was rough. It’s always hard and emotional when people need to leave the church for life reasons, but this time everyone was in tears. One of the several foster children, taken in by members, is being relocated to his extended family in New York. While normally that is a good outcome, most of us aren’t convinced that it’s true in this case. The government thinks otherwise. Everyone poured out their love on him and prayed for God‘s guidance and protection and said goodbye.
S05E058, Just Keep Swimming! Andy B 2 Minute Video
If you’ve ever watched the film, Finding Nemo - or Finding Dory – you’ll appreciate the fact the Dory, is a small blue fish, is a bit forgetful. She’s also incredibly joyful. And she is also well know for her little song when everything is going horribly wrong and those infamous words,
“Just keep swimming”.

S05E056, The Goldilocks Honey Ratio, Andy B 2 Minute Video
How do you work out whether something is good for you, or not?
God’s made us with some amazing intelligence, and yet we can be “dumb as a bucket of shrimp” when we allow what people tell us, to over rule what God has already told us.
Of course we should seek medical advice about some things, but it should never over rule our ability to, also, pray and ask God in faith - for a miracle...[READ MORE]...

S05E055, GPS Gone Wrong , Andy B 2 Minute Video
I was out for a walk one day and tracking my exercise on a sports app - I like it because I can see how my heart rate is doing, what my average walking pace is etc. However, on one occasion, when I checked my app, the map was just a horrible mess: imagine a 3 year old with a crayon and lots of sugar, and you’d have what I had on the screen of my mobile phone...[READ MORE]...

S05E057, Pounding Hearts, and Rest, Andy B 2 Minute Video
It’s no fun when you are in a place of deep sleep and are rudely woken at 3am with your heart pounding: this has become my normality too frequently. And, while I’ve been told by my cardiologist to just ignore palpitations - because I know what atrial fibrillation feels like – and carry on as normal, I can’t...[READ MORE]...

Holidays and Faith don’t equal Holidays from Faith
I was once talking with someone about their faith. They told me how their faith naturally developed over time. And, yet, their faith seemed more like that of a first time visitor to a church, amazed by the stained glassed windows and high ceilings, over Jesus having died on a cross for the sin in their life.
Faith has to be actively nurtured and tested, and tested means refined and I’ve never found a refinery which has great parking, and is secreted with lounger chairs and barista quality coffee.
Yes, our relationship with Jesus will grow over time; the Fruit of the Spirit does grow ‘spontaneously’ and without any direct effort on our part – at one level. But it certainly does grow as a direct consequence of our active, and ongoing, relationship with Jesus Christ...[READ MORE]...
