This episode we talk about plans for the new year and new decade and look back into 2019 and the past decade. Why you shouldn't wait for the new year to start making changes or to start something new. How to get started. The importance of having a good support system and the value of good friendships. The expectations we should have in friendships and just being better. 

This would be our last episode for the year but there will be a video out next week (you can put some faces to the voices you have been listening to) on youtube and IG TV so stay tuned through our social media

This episode we talk about forgiveness and how hard it is to actually do and finding closure, or what to do if you do not get it? Can you forgive if you never hear sorry? Stepping into a new year and its time to allow yourself to forgive the person or even yourself. Healing is an ongoing process but it starts when you first admit you need to deal with something. Do you struggle with forgiveness?  What do you do when you find it difficult? Has this helped you in any way? We will love to hear back from you.

Did you know about 53% of 22-29 years old do not have a savings account or have less than £1000 in it even if they do.  We are becoming more of a cashless society that we are not so mindful of what is going in and out of our accounts. To help prepare for the new year, we had Kae (@ikeeyah_) to discuss ways of saving money and having a more successful financial year.  You can follow Kae on twitter where she has great threads on different topics around finances and listen to her podcast pennies to pounds. What are your saving tips?

One of the things we struggle with as a Christian is being consistent in prayer. We always start off with an intention to have a good prayer life but somewhere along the line something just goes off and we stop. As the year is coming to an end and looking into the new decade starting. Getting your prayer life back on track is so important. Prayers are a very important part of being a Christian. We talk about the importance of prayer, different prayers for different seasons, getting out of the funk and what we do when we see ourselves slacking.  As it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (GNT) Pray at all times. So please don't stop praying.

This week we had Cristine (@iamcroe) to talk about sex and the church. Why we don't talk about it? What should we talk and when? Why people find it easier talking to a stranger about their struggles around sex. Feeling horny as a Christian. Married people still not feeling comfortable having sex due to the fact they feel dirty after staying away from sex for so long. Young Christians getting married to have sex. Desiring marriage. There was so much to unpack. Sex is not sinful within the context of marriage and we have to take away the shame in talking about it when it's done outside marriage and also hold ourselves accountable. If you are struggling with sexual sin, find someone to confide in that you trust will help you.

This episode we spoke about Kanye's new album Jesus is King and his newfound faith, also the new wave of celebrity Christians. This conversation took us into talking about different styles of Christian music and what music you will listen to while having sex. The question of why don't Christians play Christian music at their weddings. We also had our first guest on the podcast.  Do you remember when you first got saved... what were your experiences? What changes did you make? What music do you listen to now? Would you play strictly gospel music at your wedding?

The last episode we talked about failures, as Christians we sometimes feel like we are failing in our spiritual walk if we are not doing certain things every day, but how do we keep ourselves consistent? We talk about where we are now and how we move past our dry seasons or when we don't want to talk to God. What do you do? We want to hear from you. Leave your comments.
