Following on from last week’s episode on authority, this week we tackle your questions including:
Where’s the line between challenging and abusive authority?
Where’s the line between disagreement and a rebellious heart?
How do you know if you’re under good authority and just being triggered or under bad authority?
And much, much more. Have a listen and let us know what you think!
This one is a two-parter. This week we talk about why authority is so good and why it’s designed by God to be such. Next week we’ll be answering your questions about why sometimes life doesn’t quite feel like the plan and what to do about it.
Favor. It’s that thing that’s hard to describe, often misunderstood and sometimes the mere talk of it is divisive. However a life filled with favor is a delight and it’s your inheritance. In this episode we unpack some of what we’ve learned from living with favor.

You had lots and lots of questions about relationships. Things like how do you know when a relationship is over? What do you do when friends don’t prioritize you? How to you practice vulnerability? What about building friendships when you have small kids? Is it ever okay to end a friendship with church people? How do you handle friendship when you’re in ministry? How do you avoid cliques? What about new friendships when you’re already relationally full?
These are just some of the questions we answer on this episode.
Relationships are one of the greatest gifts we have in this life. So why are they so often hard to do well and the source of great pain and sorrow?

Prophets are a wonderful gift from Jesus to his church. But prophets are generally misunderstood. What even is a prophet? What do they do? Do prophets ever get things wrong? If so, then what? Can prophets read my mind? What about those prophets that prophesied Trump 2020? These are just some of the questions you wanted us to ask a prophet. So we did. And our dear friend David Wagner answered them. Enjoy!

There are no toxic limits to the kindness of God. The depths of his goodness, mercy and favor can not be exhausted.

Plus an amazing listener’s question about what to do when friends are hurt by leaders.

Tension is unavoidable. It’s part of living life with limitations. So how do we live in tension and peace? That’s the very question we set out to answer this week. Plus, AJ gets new nails and Alyn discovers credit card fraud.
COVID-19, vaccinations and whether British people can swim. There’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to find something offensive about this week’s episode. But that’s not our heart - rather we want to make our thinking visible about where we’ve been and the choices we’re making for the future.
How’s that for a clickbait title? But in all seriousness, are you? And would you even know if you were? This week we recount our journeys toward emotional wholeness and AJ gets real real talking about her journey of emotional suffocation this past year.
