What if, instead of thinking of our mind as a machine that breaks down and requires fixing - we instead choose to view it as a garden in need of nurture?

In this edition of the Thrive Podcast, Amber Ward explains how God is in the business of garden renewal, not machine repair.

P.S. This is the one with the story about being locked down in Melbourne [again] - don't miss it!

Submission to authority is all well and good when you agree with the instructions or requirements - but what happens when you don't want to comply? Does it matter to God? Is there anything in the bible that helps us understand what the consequences might be if we choose to go against the wishes of the authorities in our lives?

In this edition of the Thrive Podcast, Amber Ward uses two stories from the book of Daniel to explain the only exception to the need to submit to authorities, and highlights an interesting commonality of both stories.

P.S. This is also the episode with the story about the older woman who was asking everyone about masks, you don't want to miss it!
