In today's episode - The People Who Shape a Life - I ask Mope who it is who has most influenced her. I was looking for, maybe, one person... I got four! But each of them has shaped her into a woman of God.

In today's episode - The Rest You Need - Rhys and I discuss the fourth commandment, Remember the Sabbath Day, and why you can enjoy a deep inner rest.

In today's episode - Who God Says I am - Inge and I talk about our identity. How do you see yourself? Think about yourself? What is shaping that? How does that influence the choices you make, or the joy you experience? And what can happen when we are more influenced by what God our Heavenly Father says than the world or the enemy?

Today's episode is no.2 in our series on a hymn you've got to listen to at least once before you die, or Jesus returns! For Linley that is, Have Faith in God My Heart. You may not know it - I didn't - but it's a hymn for today. 

In today's episode - When Everything Else Fails - Nik and I discuss the remarkable life of Hudson Taylor, missionary to China, who saw incredible fruit from his ministry that continues to shape China (and cross-cultural mission) today. But he also knew what it was like to be brought to the end of himself. When that happens, what can you do?

Here are the books we discuss at the end:

The Autobiography of Hudson Taylor

The Spiritual Secret

Hudson Taylor and Maria: by John Pollock

Today's podcast is Friday's 'Thought for the Day' with Christoph Jung, one of our elders. It's on the love of God: Finding the Thing We Long For.

In today's episode - Knowing you Love - Andrew Parris gives us five complements to the five love languages. How do you put those languages into practice? What are the signs you love and how does the other person know you love them?

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':
