If you were to ask someone on the street about their thoughts on the church and money, we might not always get the most positive response. What is the point in giving? What does God require from us? and does our relationship with God hinge on our ability to give?
Spoiler alert - it doesn't!
Today we take a look at this whole area and try to gain a healthy perspective on how we can invite God into all areas of our lives.

Reading the bible is seen as an important part of the discipline of anyone pursuing God. It can be a complete source of inspiration but at the same time we can come across things that feel confusing, contradictory or, in some cases, pretty brutal.
Today we take some time to look at how we can develop an understanding of the bible, see how God was working in people's lives at the time and the role God has continually played in dragging mankind through a process of developing moral understanding.

Today we take a more in-depth look at the impact that being together can have on us. Feel free to listen in.

It seems that one of the key defining factors of being a Christian is your decision to go to attend church. We know that it's way more than that. Church can be such an important place for us, but we rarely ask 'Why do I actually go?' - It's a challenging but really valid question - it often requires a response from us.
That's the question we take a look at today. Enjoy.

Today we look at the reality of those challenges and begin to think about how we can take steps to free up some space to connect with God.
