Everybody hurts, a sentiment captured by R.E.M. in their 1992 hit with the words 

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand, oh no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you are not alone

In this bible study podcast, we explore the fact that indeed we are not alone, and God is there, and can be trusted, as we are His creation, made in His image. Often we don't understand where God is and wonder why, and does God not care. As we look at the story of Job, his hurt, and his response and the response of his friends, we can learn lessons on pastoral care, and on trusting God in the things we don't understand.

Listen in to this study, and share it with others. We hear that song from R.E.M. and well as finishing up with the wonderful praise 'Christ Alone, Cornerstone

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

I trust you are helped and blessed as you listen to God's Word.

Extreme Folly. 'Where did it all go wrong?' That well know question posed about George Best and alluded to in the song of the same title by Oasis. The same can be a applied to Solomon, given extreme wisdom by God, but he went down a Wong path path following extreme folly and foolishness.

This episode explores 4 detours, acts of foolishness that Solomon lead to his downfall, and can serve as wise lessons for us in our walk with the Lord, examining our own lives so as we don't make the same foolish mistakes. We compare Solomons actions in 1 Kings 3, 9, 10 and 11 with God's commands in Numbers 33:51-52, Deuteronomy 33:29 and Deuteronomy 17.

Music featured from Oasis and CityAlight

Extreme Wisdom. What is true wisdom, where does it come from and how do we learn to use God's wisdom in our everyday lives. In response to Solomon's request for 'a discerning heart to govern [God's] people and to distinguish between right and wrong' we have the Book of Proverbs, full of God's wisdom for his people to apply in their everyday lives.

This episode explores the source and definition of wisdom, and gives us a few tips on how to read and understand Proverbs. See Proverbs to read and reflect on are Proverbs 10:19; 10:25; 12:1; 19:17; 19:24; 3-:15.

Music included is from Sovereign Grace Music, 'W-I-S-D-O-M' and 'Christ Our Wisdom'  

How do you teach someone to pray? Jesus' disciples came to him and said, "Lord, teach us to pray." All followers of Christ desire authentic prayers experiences. In this episode we look at four Psalms that help us develop prayers of Thanksgiving (Psalm 30), Confession (Psalm 51), for Wisdom (Psalm 119) and reminding us God is on the throne (Psalm 96).

Music included helps us focus on these prayers, Matt Boswell and Matt papa sing 'O Give Thanks,' The Corner Room put Psalm 119:33-40 to music, and we finish with Keswick Bible Week singing 'How Lovely on the Mountains are the Feet of Him (Our god Reigns).

Episode 2 in our Bible Study Series 'Developing a heart for God.'   In this episode we look at the Psalms, songs and prayers of worship, joy and celebration to God, as well as laments, the outpouring of our hearts to God in times of sorrow and despair. We are encouraged to develop both these types of prayer, toe press our feelings to our God, in the good and the tough times. And in both, we see our hearts grow and be renewed in faith and assurance, which iTunes leads to more praise. 

We look at the following Scripture, Psalm 136, 137 and then in a bit more depth Psalm 103 and 42. We reflect on Psalm 136 sung by Greg LaFollette and Leslie Jordan, and then Psalm 103 sung by SovereignGrace.

First of the 2026 season. This is the beginning of a series of episodes based on our Bible Studies where we are thinking about developing a heart for God. In this episode we see David's great desire to worship God with all his heart, he doesn't hold back and he doesn't let anyone else put him off from worshipping God, for the Lord is on the throne of his heart. However, like all us, we are tempted. and other things can so easily push God off that throne place in our hearts. We explore how David allowed that to happen, how he could have resisted, and how the Lord brought him back to a place of repentance and restoration, where he once more has God's praise on his lips.

We look at the following Scripture, 2 Samuel 6:1-22; 11:1-17; 12:1-9 as well as reflecting on David's response penned in Psalm 51. We have music by Chris Tomlin, 'God's Great Dance Floor' and Kieth Green 'Create in me a Clean Heart.'

Today I'm joined by my daughter, Leah, who is home with us for Christmas. We. are thinking about Christmas journeys, as well as the journeys of change, and the journeys of faith. Leah shares about her journey as a student in Cardiff to a Relay Worker with the Christian Union in Cardiff, and how her journey of faith and ministry has been shaped. I reflect on the journeys of Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds and the Wise men as they encountered Jesus who journeyed from heaven to earth 'to save his people from their sins.'

We have music from Chris Rea, Rend Collective and Ellie Holcomb.

In this episode Rev Wallace chats to George Hunter about harvest and God's provision and blessings. George has farmed, worked in hospitals and factories, ran businesses and ministered and served in the church over many years. As we reflect on 2 Corinthians 9:10 'He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness,' George and I chat (well George talks and I listen) about how we have seen God fulfil this promise both in a material manner but also spiritually, as God has provided and multiplied.

There is also music from Passion, as they sing 'The Lord will provide.'

Rev Wallace Moore shares some thoughts from Philippians 1:12-18 about what is the most important thing as we Live for Christ, even when our situations might not be what we expected. As Christians today, many want us to be quiet about the gospel of Jesus, yet Paul says 'The important this is ... Christ is preached.'

We also have music from Rich Mullins and a Rend Collective song, sung by Papercastle.

Our first ever podcast, where Rev Wallace speaks with Juliet Hunter about what the Bible means to her as a young student in Dublin.  Juliet shares her 'go to' verse and encourages us to memorise Isaiah 60:22 'At the right time, I, the LORD, will make it happen.'

Wallace shares some thoughts from Psalm 119:105 'Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.' 

The song we play is In Your Time, inspired by Isaiah 60:22 and is sung by Eternal Chronicles. Here is a link to their YouTube video https://youtu.be/1Y3Ln2jcP0o?si=JMbXdrlRe0X0bmSC
