This last week a report was issued that has carefully considered what makes us truly happy - much needed research surely, in our troubled world. The six year long project reveals that we are most happy, when we seek to make others happy - in the giving of ourselves - generosity. So join Jeff To consider the challenge and opportunity - to be happily generous.

As Christians, we’re called to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. But in a world that often discourages deep thought, how well do we use the gift of thinking? In this episode of Lucas on Life, Jeff Lucas challenges us to engage our brains as well as our beliefs, reminding us that thoughtful faith is stronger, not weaker, for asking questions.

Few topics make Christians feel more inadequate than prayer. But is prayer really that important? Are there practical ways to strengthen our prayer life? And is it okay to ask others to pray for us more often? Join Jeff as he unpacks not just the struggles, but also the incredible privilege of prayer.

There’s no shortage of conflict in our world today. But conflict isn’t always a bad thing, learning how to disagree without division is essential for any friendship, marriage, or church. So how should we handle conflict in a culture simmering with frustration and anger? Join Jeff as he explores a healthier way forward.

Faith. It's what we all want, but what is exactly is authentic faith - certainly it's a word much used and often misunderstood. This really matters - without faith, we're told, it’s impossible to please God.

Worship is what we Christians do as we walk with Jesus, whether we are alone or together. But what exactly is worship? And whatever our chosen style of worship, do we need to be not just worshipful, but also thoughtful, lest what we bring to God become meaningless ritual?

Waiting..It’s not easy for those of us who live life in a constant rush. A traffic jam, a slow internet connection, a long queue, these moments can feel endlessly frustrating. Yet, waiting is something we’re all called to as followers of Jesus. Sometimes we have to wait for Him, to speak, to act, to reveal His hand.

Join Jeff as we explore the challenge, and the surprising blessing, of waiting.

We all need friends. Jesus knew exactly who to turn to when he had to navigate the shadows of Gethsemane, and the apostle Paul constantly celebrated those who stuck by him faithfully. Join Jeff as he celebrates I'm very special friend in his life a man who has made a massive impact on his church and his city - his name is Larry and as we hear about him we discover that he's worth celebrating and emulating.

It’s been said, perhaps unkindly, that complaining is the British disease. Whether that's true or not, we all know that complaining can become a regular feature in our lives so much so that we start looking for things to be irritated about. join Jeff as he considers gratitude as an antidote for excessive complaining!

This last week we rightly celebrated England's Lionesses, not onoy for their skill, but their resilience. They jusy kept bouncing back. As followers of Jesus were called to be faithful - yes, resilient until the end. So join Jeff Sunday at 8, as he encouraged us to play - and pray - through the pain.
