S05E096, Do You Accept Criticism? Andy B 2 Minute Video
I’ve worked alongside, or under, some great leaders in churches and in businesses, and voluntary organisations. And, sadly, I’ve also served around people who love to use their position to bully others and, the most successful approach I’ve seen to achieve this, is through creating grey areas of information and knowledge.

S05E098, Aim For God, Not For Good, Andy B 2 Minute Video
Goodness is a good thing. And it’s only natural to say that God is good. And, yet, describing God as good actually – on it’s own – devalues God, because He is so much more than just good! Yes God is good, but God is more than good and our word “good” can not describe enough of God’s goodness. It can only paint something of God. It is not the complete answer.

S05E095, Brain Management, Andy B 2 Minute Video
Being busy can be a great feeling. It can make us think we’re doing better than others we may meet in our life. But, the problem with being busy is that busyness can soon become just the next thing on a to do list. And that is never good when it comes to the relationships that matter most to us.

Loved this chapter from a book written more than 100 years ago by a Welsh missionary to China.
"The brightest day in a man's life is the day on which the revelation of God as Father becomes a reality to the soul. Is God my Father? Then I know that He will never leave me, and that He can never forsake me.
Is God my Father? Then I know that there is no poison in the cup which He gives me to drink. It may be bitter, very bitter; but there is no poison in it, there is nothing in it to hurt me.
Is God my Father? Then, though nailed to a cross, I can trust Him, and will trust Him.
"Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit." Such was His trust in God on His cross; and such shall be my trust in God on my cross. Jesus knew the Father perfectly, and trusted Him implicitly. He did so with regard to Himself, and He did so with regard to His mission and work. If He believed, why should I doubt? If He trusted in God, why should I hesitate to put my whole trust and confidence in Him?"
On Family Prayer Time last week JoJo and Peter were looking at places to pray, and praying in a car. Well, as part of a family car journey, they took their own advice!

@Berrybunchfamily, I've had similar thoughts. So grateful for the DD platform and have enjoyed the BTJ podcasts over and again.
The offer is authentic. 🤗 My husband, 4 sons and I live about 4 hrs south west of NYC. About 3.5 from Philly.
DingDash seems to have gone seriously quiet these days
can i get a roll call of who is actually still using this platform?

S05E090, Cut Your Losses, Andy B 2 Minute Video
I wonder if you’ve ever bought something that wasn’t cut what you wanted. Do we take it back, live with it, or bin it. I guess what we do will be somewhat dependent on what we bought and how expensive it was. We also might consider that the cost of returning it could outweigh the cost of having bought it.
I’ve been there more than once. I’ve also taken something back on principle, and lost money in the process.
We have to make decisions all the time and it can seem somewhat harsh to cutting our loss with people. Instinctively we feel that that is not a Christian thing to do.
And yet Jesus did it. And, what we see Jesus live out are life lessons we would be nothing short of arrogant to ignore. And He didn’t stop for everyone, sometimes to the surprise of His own disciples.
And, so, it is a very biblical principle to cut our losses.
Where do you need to cut your losses? Which relations...[READ MORE]...

Beautiful white rose - just near our front door. Can't take any credit for this though. It is very pretty though!

S04E005, Places to Pray, Car, Family Prayer Time
Peter and JoJo continue encouraging us to pray as a family by praying in different places. This time they’re in the Car, a place that can be stationary or on the move, but where you can be together and take time to pray.
They consider what we could pray whilst in the car or in any mode of transport you may be in as a family – including trains, planes, and buses.
Peter and JoJo challenge us to pray in the car, make it a habit to pray in the car and encourage us to take the time when travelling as a family to take time to talk, reflect and even have a time of devotion.

Updates on Teresa's health.
Dear brothers and sisters,
My wife and I want to update you all on Teresa's health and we want to testify how great and powerful was God's intervention in Teresa's life.
As you know Teresa's clinical picture was very serious. For this reason Teresa was hospitalized for about a month.
But throughout this period she started to feel better and better until the doctors informed us that the acute phase had passed and she could continue the treatment at home.
At home Teresa continued to improve more and more and, at the last visit to the hospital, the doctors were amazed to see how well Teresa was. The pneumonia also passed completely. Glory to God.
We want to thank God for how He powerfully intervened in this situation and for how He practically showed us that God is powerful to nullify the sentences and words of men and that the last word on every situation is always God's.
Thanks for the prayers of you all. God bless you.
Happy Father's Day to the dad's of DingDash!!

S05E089, Obedience v Sacrifice, Andy B 2 Minute Video
To Obey is better than Sacrifice. It’s a beautiful gem in the Old Testament which can sometimes be missed! And, when we read something in the bible about sacrificing animals, it’s all too easy to disregard it as out of date because of what Jesus did on the cross.
Jesus’ death and resurrection means we don’t need to sacrifice animals in the Temple. But it doesn’t lessen the importance of obedience for us Christians.
But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice… 1 Samuel 15:22 (New Living Translation)
Put really simply, animal sacrifice made God pleased in the Old Testament times. But, despite that, obedience was what mattered above and beyond that. Actually that theme reappears elsewhere in the Old Testament – when God gets fed up with people doing what…[READ MORE]...

One Life, Live It
Every year, on 9th June, we remember our daughter Magdi. She died at 11 weeks and beat us to heaven
Every year, I'm more convinced that the legacy she left behind for us - of living for today for we don't know what will happen tomorrow
Make the most of the life you have - you only get one of them!
With God we may get many 2nd chances, but still just the one life, so make it count and live
Yesterday we had an internet connection installed. The young lad who came saw his dad walk out at a few years old. He doesn't like the society he sees around him, especially the attitudes of people his age; he knows he had to become a dad to his little brother and wants to his own life the right way
He clearly doesn't know Jesus yet. But, his parting words were simply these "man you're doing God's work as a family"
And that is a legacy I'm proud of, that was born out of the death of our daughter in 2006
