Have you ever anticipated a really difficult conversation or event and spent ages working out how to get through it, only to find that it wasn't a problem at all?

Or have there been times when a blessing simply arrived out of the blue? That's Grace—and it just LOVES to turn up when it's least expected.

Mark has a wonderful story to tell...

Today's question is 'how did humanity get where we are?' looking at the world stage of emerging fascism. There is clearly a narcissist in the place of the 'leader of the free world' so how did we (and that includes us all) attract that situation into our lives - because the whole world is being impacted.

Maybe, to find the answer, we have to look at the concept of karma and the way we treat our planet...

Today we're responding to the UK Supreme Court's ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law - and what Jesus might have to say about transgender folk, sex, genitals and - most importantly - whether it's right to react from societal beliefs or whether we could actually try and access our souls.

Today, Maggy looks at the parable of the wealthy man who invites his friends to a feast. They have better things to do than show up - and they all have totally legitimate excuses.

Where are we not showing up? And are our excuses legitimate - or are we just too tired? And if that's the case then why, in a world where we can access anything we need are we just getting more and more tired?

Mark's turn to focus on one of Jesus' most powerful sayings: That anything we do, good or bad is done to the Divine Itself. We are co-creators with God and we make the world that we live in.

It's just as valid to pull ourselves up on the things we DON'T do which could be good...

One of Jesus's many challenging parables is the story of the wealthy man who invites guests to a banquet. They are too busy (with credible excuses) to attend...

Today Maggy is feeling a bit like the one giving out the invitations ... we look at the humility of offering whether or not the people wish to come.

Today Mark continues with his marathon Bible reading. He's currently wrestling with St. Paul and gives a masterly summing up of the Hebrew and New Testaments so far...

It's Maggy this week as Mark has important Grandfather duties. Today we look at the importance of taking care of ourselves in the various sh*t storms going on in the world today.

Only if you take good care of yourself are you balanced and strong to take good care of the other.
