Nigel & Debbie's Podcast

We have to have faith that expects to encounter the Lord.

We talk a great game, but when it comes down to it, do we have the faith to expect the miracles we preach about?

Nigel and Jess discuss the power of a gospel that has been physically encountered and how to build a life with space for the Holy Spirit to invade.

1 John 1:1-4 speaks about a gospel that is not just taught and learnt, but a gospel that has been encountered. We are called into a relationship with God but many christians mistake knowing a lot about God for actually knowing God, this is not friendship. When someone has a lot of knowledge about you but has never encountered you, that’s not a friend, that’s a stalker. 

In this podcast episode, Pastor Jessica speaks on how we create space in our lives for encounters that foster a real and true friendship with God.

To love is to be vulnerable, to love is to be inconvenienced, valuable things come at a cost but love is the only thing you get more of by giving it away. In the final week of our Love series, Pastor Debbie preaches on learning to love.

God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

What is truth? Is that true? What and how do we build a life on something more stable than likely opinions. All this and more in this week’s episode of Rabbit Trails.

LOVE is an over used word. We love ice cream, our team, sunshine, puppies and our family or God. We use love to emphasize and inflate our feelings but in the end inflation just devalues the currency and we lose the power and trust in the meaning of the word Love. 

Did you know that a recent study found that loneliness is a greater predicted of ill health that diabetes?

Jesus hung our purpose on one word, L-O-V-E. You were born in, for and from relationship. You are made to be known, seen and loved.

What is the manifested presence of God? What does a manifestation look like? How do we know that it's God? Is it possible to experience God 24/7 or only in divinely appointed moments? All this and more in our first episode back! 

Eph 3:17 speaks about being rooted and grounded in love. Many of us live our lives trying to produce fruit, but the fruit God wants to produce in our lives doesn’t come from us but from the indwelling Spirit within us. What we need to do is position ourselves so that our root system is in His love. Roots before fruits!
