Prayer is one of the key ways that we can connect with God but how does prayer actually work? Is there a pattern or format to follow to get a good result or are we missing the point if that’s the way we are choosing to pray.

Today we have an honest conversation about prayer, acknowledging some of the challenges, issues and disappointment that we face. This is a real and honest reflection - our hope is that something from this chat resonates with you and helps you to feel seen and acknowledged.

If we choose to try and grow in our relationship with God, how do we best go about this? It can feel like there are so many things that we are required to do in order to deepen that connection - but how does that work? Does God love us more if we try harder?

Today we take some time to talk about how God feels about us and how we can benefit when we find ways to connect with him that.

When we think about the idea of growing it can sometimes feel like a daunting process. Maybe we feel like we've done our growing, that we've learnt about most things or maybe we've tried it before and it was too tricky a process.

Today we take a look at some of the things holding us back and install some confidence in the decision to have the courage to try to grow again.

Today we take some time to look back over the last 12 months and consider some of the key things that we've learnt about. 

With the busyness of life we can often soldier on without considering how much has changed, or how we may have been caused to think - today is about taking a moment to reflect and think about the messages that have caused us to stop and consider the things that we've learnt about life and faith.

Today we continue our look at those 'dark night of the soul' moments and consider how we can learn to respond in those moments but also begin to understand the power that these challenges have in shaping our future.

Throughout life we can face many different challenges. We have to learn to process these difficulties and work out how we are going to respond.

Today we take some time to think about the inevitable 'dark night of the soul' that we are likely to face at some point in our lifetime and look at some healthy approaches that we can take to allow ourselves to be strengthened rather than defeated by these experiences.

We all have to face disappointment at some point in our lives, maybe you’ve been left disappointed by other people, you actually feel disappointed with yourself and, for some people, you might have felt disappointed with God.

Disappointment is a pretty natural emotion. Today we take some time to consider the impact that it can have and look for ways that we can face up to disappointment, learn from it and be able to help others.

Today we take some time to consider the opportunity for us all to be hosts to the people that we come across in our lives and how, if we can make loving people the most natural part of what we do, we’ll begin to have a positive impact on the lives of others.

Our society seems fairly hard-wired towards self-focus. There can be a lot of positives with this, self awareness and self care are essential, but the danger we face is when self focus tips in to self-centeredness. Choosing to be kind becomes a challenge to that mentality.

Today we take some time to think about kindness and how we sometimes have to be prepared to lose in order for there to be a greater win.

We really hope this is thought provoking and a little inspiring.

Refuge is such an important thing that we can offer people. It’s something that we are passionate about providing in The Living Room - that place of safety, knowing that you’re loved and supported through whatever you are going through.

Refuge isn’t a process we rush people through, it looks different for everyone - but what is amazing is when people feel safe enough to be able to step forward and grow again.

Today we look at the importance of both of these things, refuge and growth, and consider how we can help people to feel strong enough to; not only begin to grow, but be able to be refuge to the people that they come across in life.
