Your Favourite Podcasts, and Study Plan Ideas?

This post is mostly about me asking for your recommendations and suggestions for your favourite podcasts and Bible reading plans or study books.

We’re taking a couple of weeks from creating our usual output, and it’s giving us an opportunity as a family to catch up on all sorts of things, rethink things and rest as a family in a different way.

We’ve washed the car, dumped a broken sofa at the tip, rearranged some furniture and taken a look at our lives to see where we have been wasting time, or where God might be calling us to do other things.

You can read the rest of the post on our website - www.berrybunch.family/your-favourite-podcasts-and-study-plan-ideas/

Andy B 2 Minute Video Vlog, Coiled Potential Can Hurt!, S3, E28

If you think of a spring, they’re fitted everywhere! From DVD players to cars, from bicycle derailleurs to pens and staplers, from watches to door handles!

On my bike, the part I fitted has a huge spring which forces the derailleur to be pushed away from the centre of the wheel. When you press the gear lever, it allows that spring to relax, jus a littler bit – a very set amount – and your chain is put on a lower gear.

The one I bought does exactly this. But in order to fit (the lazy way) I had to remove a couple of small bolts so I could save myself removing the chain just so I could fit the new part to my bike.

Unfortunately, the grip I had on it slipped, and the spring did it’s job of bringing the derailleur into it’s more natural position...............

And it was going so well - exploring somewhere completely new, and some beautiful weather to boot

Two puncture repairs later and I had to resort to putting my Kevlar puncture prevention strip underneath the inner tube, against the wheel....my newly fitted rear wheel was missing the protective strip that sits against the wheel, and my inner tube now has regularly spaced holes from the recesses for the spokes...

Oh well, I've got the wheel strip from my last wheel and a spare inner tube

Still... frustrated I made such a dumb mistake! And that I had to cut short my ride, just to crawl home.

This is Part 3, of a 3-part Teaching series on Prayer and Faith.

With discussion around Fish and Chips, Sweet and Sour Sauce and Gloves and hands, Andy B does his usual and takes ordinary, every day objects and situations, and helps us dig deeper into the basics of how Faith and Prayer work together.

With a very strong reminder, and warning - from the book of James - about why we need both Faith and Prayer, Andy B encourages us to all to get on our knees more, to learn to know Jesus better.

And, just like Fish and Chips or Sweet and Sour Sauce, Faith and Prayer complement each other perfectly.

i'm off now for dinner ;-)

having said i wouldn't post for a few weeks, i thought i'd at least post what has been scheduled to appear elsewhere

Andy B

my bike derailleur gave me 6 x Andy B 2 Minute Videos

This is "Identical but Different, S3, E25"

https://youtu.be/vF1__CvzHOg

after @Olamide asked me to create a teaching series he could use over in Nigeria, I came up with Faith and Prayer (in 3 parts)

this is part two - what is prayer?

https://youtu.be/XvctyryDg6s

sitting here, helping Jo fill out an INORDINATE amount of information to prove she is who she proved she was just last summer...........gotta love the Civil Service in the UK!!

anyway, since I'm sitting here, I thought I'd post a few of the videos that have been scheduled and have been going live the past week or so

this is the first one - https://youtu.be/S5PGqk0Ci1k (Andy B 2 Minute Video Vlog, Habits, Trusting and Change, S3, E24)

Met up with number one son, on my otherwise solo cycle.

Grass was really tall, & tough to plow through with multiple, long, deep (feet submerged while pedalling deep!) puddles that were unavoidable, but fun to do anyway :-) low gear and keep those pedals turning!!

A very muddy bike when I got home, and I wasn't much cleaner. Great time though, and having a break with my oldest - in the middle of nowhere - made it all the sweeter as we shared energy tablets and had a moment to chat together

With a newly replaced rear wheel, derailleur, gear cable & outer, my 2nd hand bike is finally working as it should....funny what we put up with - in my case for 6 years, with bad gear changes and no confidence the gears will stay where they should!

Still, all sorted now - onwards.

New derailleur, and now a replacement gear cable and outer....and a new rear wheel (last wheel died just after fitting the new derailleur).....my MTB finally has working gears......first time since I bought it 6-7 years ago...looking forward to, God willing, gettng out in the morning with Jo, and quite possibly getting a little muddy 🙂

it's one of those days today! one load of washing went out on the line (blue skies, very hot, lovely breeze). Nathan brought it on and was utterly soaked before he'd done so

put the washing back out on the line (rather than carry on with the tumble dryer - since the washing was nearly dry) and Nathan just got soaked bringing it back in again

it's back in the tumble dryer, but not it's wetter than before it came out of the tumble dryer

who said British weather was boring?!?
