It can be intimidating to read the Bible, either in personal devotion time or to lead a small group. In this episode, our team grapple with a random passage to both get something uplifting for ourselves but also to model how one can approach the Bible and find ways to access its richness to uplift, teach, challenge and grow the individuals who are reading. There is also something to be said for approaching the Bible as a community, so this conversation will feature some of our community, Jarrod, Zanita and Jesse. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Friday mornings podcast.

Today we explore Zanita's trip to Morocco and what it taught her about prayer and faith and of course, we get practical! Are we intentional enough about our spiritual disciplines? Can we find intentionality in ritual? Is the meaning behind the ritual as important as the practice of it? #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, podcast Friday mornings.

It's one of those concepts that some people in the Church are super passionate about, something that is assumed knowledge, almost like a secret code. It makes other people uncomfortable. So what is it about the doctrine of the Remnant that causes such interesting reactions? And are Adventist the only true remnant or do other groups or individuals fit the description. We're joined by Signs of the Times associate editor Pastor Jesse Herford to unpack this interesting biblical doctrine and see what it can teach us today. August is Signs Month and Signs is committed to explaining difficult doctrines in an easy to access way. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Podcast Fridays.

For many people, connecting with God feels easy. But for others, it’s much more complicated. How do I connect with someone who I can’t see or hear? Why don’t I feel His presence? How do I know if He’s leading or if it’s my own imagination? Today we have a conversation with Lucy Dessington about what it actually means to have a relationship with God and how it looks for us.

However, the Bible commands us to forgive, and mental health professionals agree that doing so has many benefits. Today, we’re talking with Catalina Noemi, a Christian counsellor, about what forgiveness looks like and what practical steps we can take toward healing and reconciliation.
