In today's episode - Don't Use it in Vain - Rhys and I discuss the 3rd commandment. It's about the Lord's name. What does his Name mean and how can taking it in vain slip under our radars?

Why does the Bible repeatedly compare the Christian life to an endurance race? And what does physical endurance have to teach us about sticking with it as a Christian? Today's podcast - Like an Endurance Event - I talk to David Niblack about running for miles and crossing the line. 

The hymns you've got to listen to at least once before you die, or Jesus returns, whichever is sooner! That's our new Monday podcast. And in today's episode - My Heart Awaking Cries - Su says you've got to listen to When Morning Gilds the Skies. And you don't want to argue with Mrs Slack.

It's not easy to find a good recording, but Su says this one is 'half-way decent':

What is God up to when life is far from awe-inspiring? When, let's face it, it's a bit monotonous, maybe even humdrum? In today's episode - Perfect Preparation - Nik and I talk about Corrie Ten Boom, and just one of her many inspiring quotes. And how can you not be inspired by such a woman of God?

Here are the books we mention:

The Hiding Place

Where do you go, what do you do, when you are confused or perplexed. In today's episode - In the Upper Room - Geert Hendrick's brings us our 'Thought for the Day.'

In today's episode - Seeing the Goodness of God - I talk to Peter Lyon about a psalm that has spoken comfort and encouragement to him over the years, but especially at the moment.

In today's episode - Sliding into the Snare - Rhys and I take a look at the second of the Ten Commandments. If you're unlikely to go carve a wooden idol, what has this commandment got to say to you?

Today's episode is part 2 of my conversation with Colin Donaldson, who heads up GBEU/IFES in Switzerland. In part 1 we talked about the challenges of ministering to students in a post-Christian environment. In part 2 we discuss the joys. And they are great!

Today's episode - Heard By Our Singing... Together - is part 2 of my discussion with Doug and Linley on worship. Why do we sing together? And why does what we sing together matter?

In today's episode - Never Lost - Nik and I discuss Elisabeth Elliot, famous missionary, writer and speaker, and her quote: "You can never lose what you have offered to Christ." And she knew a thing or two about loss.

Here are the books we discuss:

Keep a Quiet Heart

Let Me be a Woman

Through Gates of Splendor
