Christian Life Church Shipley

Are you stuck in the loop? Anca shares some insights into our habits, and how many of us approach changing them in ways that don't really help us at all. She also, though, explores how we might be able to break out of the loop and create new possibilities with some different ways of thinking.

Ever felt terrified of getting things wrong in life? Maybe it's time to end the struggle to 'stay off God's naughty list' or 'get in His good books'. Adam shares that, because of Jesus, we're already right with Him. So... now what do we do?

Do you hide your differences, or show them off? Adam shares, in the next part of the Ambassadors series, how your difference may be key for your life and future, and of those all around you. How do we learn to stop hiding, and begin to celebrate the unique qualities we have within us?

When your HOST nation is in chaos, it's a good thing that your HOME nation has all the resource, stability and power that you need. As an Ambassador of the King, Heaven is your home. Adam explores how different life is when we live from that place.

Have you ever asked yourself: 'Why do these things keep happening to me?' If you have, welcome to the club. Paul shares some invaluable insights from Acts, and personal battles that remind us all where we came from, and where we are going.

Ever held yourself up to high standards, and felt down when you didn't hit your own mark? Good news: You can be human, and STILL be His Ambassador. You can be reconciled to Him, to the real you, and reconcile others. Adam shares on the challenge of learning to operate in that identity.

Will you choose safety, or risk it to fly?

Adam speaks into who you really are. When we reconcile the fragments of our true identity towards the whole, it can be more powerful than we ever imagined.

When everything shakes, what stays standing?

Do you believe that miracles happen? Is it all coincidence or are there doors that can open by ways we live? Adam explores miracles, the lottery, oppression and opening doors.

You've probably heard of the 'greatest showman' film. Critics didn't rate it all that highly... but would Jesus? Adam shares the second part of some key gospel messages from the film that express the heart of God in ways we might have missed...

Isaac, one of Paul's spiritual sons, shares a testimony at the beginning of the podcast. After spending time together recently, Paul then shares some keys from their conversations that will challenge and encourage us. Our calling is not just success, but succession. Church as we know it is over. This is not a game. This is generational kingdom living; ceilings and floors, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters... Paul asks some big questions of our big futures, but it starts with a step. Will we take it?

You've probably heard of the 'greatest showman' film. Critics didn't rate it all that highly... but would Jesus? Adam shares some key gospel messages from the film that express the heart of God in ways we might have missed...

Is God a gambler? We sometimes think we have to make the right combination of 'divine decisions' to get God's favour and our future. Maybe God isn't trying to make things difficult for us though... Adam explores how we listen out for His instructions, things that stop us following them, and one man who could have got his breakthrough much quicker than he did.

After hearing stars and whales joining together in song, Paul explores Psalm 8. The writer knows a God who is infinite, yet intimate; cosmic, but close...

Paul shares about a journey of two grieving friends, who had lost hope and heart. When life comes to meet you, though, many beautiful and powerful things happen... and the good news is this life is within you.

We were blessed to welcome Bill & Sue with us this week, Paul's first spiritual parents. Bill shares a message of vulnerability, hope and healing. We've all carried trauma, because we've all lived life... but there's a restoration available to us if we want it.

Our greatest fear is to be known, but not loved... so we learn to keep secrets. Following Paul's word 'The Naked God', Adam explores the beautiful truth; we can be fully known, and fully loved.

If you've ever felt like you've been spinning plates, trying to keep life from crashing on you, this one's for you. There's one question you have to ask: deal, or no deal?

When Jesus washed the disciples' feet, He was showing us more than just servanthood. Paul shares about a God who is not closed off; not unknown or disconnected... but a God who bares all and allows Himself to be fully known. Can we really risk it all to live that way?
