Stan celebrates the gift of children and the covenant of God’s love expressed through infant baptism, reminding us that new life is both a miracle and a sign of God’s promises across generations.

Jeremy explores the necessity of cultivating the fruit of peace, or peacefulness in our polarised world.

Josh explores how we intentionally cultivate joy in the 'Age of the Machine' by focusing our hearts and imaginations on all that is true, beautiful, and good.
