  • Jesus Came for Me.
    ‭Luke 8:26-39 ESV‬
    [26] Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. [27] When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. [28] When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” [29] For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) [30] Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. [31] And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. [32] Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. [33] Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned. [34] When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. [35] Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. [36] And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed. [37] Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. [38] The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, [39] “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

  • Forgiveness versus Tolerance.

    My good friend shared a statement the other day that said 'Don't mistake forgiveness for Tolerance.' And that really sent me down a rabbit hole of thinking about that, especially in the context of Christianity.

    I mean God literally didn't accept tolerance, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. To pay a debt we never could pay on our own.


    It makes sense, because sin was separating us and God, but Jesus death bought us redemption. So essentially us continually giving into our temptations ie sinful behaviour, is tolerating our actions. But coming into Gods presence and his forgiveness, is letting go of our tolerance and behaviour.

    The same as our forgiveness and tolerance can affect our personal relationships.

  • Comparison in the kingdom of God
    Comparison has no place in the kingdom of God, because we all come to a place of repentance at some point, or at the very least, we should.
    God had no favourite and is always close to anyone who seeks his face, having a genuine heart to spend time in his presence.
    I really enjoyed doing this episode and I hope it helps someone.

  • The curse of comments

    Social media is a horrible place to spend any of your emotional income. Yet some of us grow extremely poor spending it in a place we shouldn't, we stretch ourselves sop thin, that we don't have any more emotional income to spend in places that truly matter.

    For me I usually spend most of my emotional income in the presence of God, at Church and in close relationships with people who truly matter. With friends who on more than one occasion have said something that helped me or challenged me. But the emotional income I spent was well worth it.

  • Mean what you say.
    ‭Proverbs 12:25 ESV‬
    [25] Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
    Mean what you say is an incredible album released by Sent by Ravens, the album title, the lyrical content and sheer scope of what this album was trying to say, is something I've always wanted to talk about, so here it is.
    ‭John 8:7-11 ESV‬
    [7] And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” [8] And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. [9] But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. [10] Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” [11] She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]]

  • The Air I Breathe.

    The Air I breathe was released in 2010 by the band Our Last Night, the album is something I really like and was heard at a time in my life, that caused me to reflect on previous years in my life that I was bullied and didn't want to live anymore. But the song which hit me the most and the year after (I was baptised on October 25th in 2009), I had said Yes to following Jesus. Was the lyrical content of which the album was titled.


    "I know I may be the first to forget, But I appreciate the air I breathe".

  • Patience and Purpose
    You won't know what God is doing behind the scenes, you might be suffering, feeling overwhelmed and have thoughts and questions, swirling around in your head. But one thing will always be true, God is faithful to complete the good work he has started, in you and in me.

  • Secret Sin: A death in silence
    I've mentioned this in previous episodes, but I really want to unpack the impact, and consequence of secret sin, how it hurts you, and how it can also destroy, relationships with the people around you.
    Secret sin is the sin you try to keep hidden, and unexposed to the ones you love, and those who care about you. God already knows your struggle, he already knows about the sin you don't acknowledge verbally. So in order to break free, the first step is acknowleding it.
