When you were little, did you ever hear the saying that “Children should be seen and not heard”? Today, we have two stories from the Bible that say this is not the case! In this episode we consider what children can teach us about God. (1 Samuel 2.18–20, 26 and Luke 2.41–52)
Merry Christmas!!! In this episode, we’re invited to join the shepherds, and the rest of creation and celebrate the mystery of God’s incarnation. (Luke 2:1-14)
Today we talk about gift giving, pregnant cousins, and an evening stroll in a garden. Okay … and a little bit about Jesus too. 😊 Come and take a listen. (Luke 1:39-45)
When you meet a person, for the first time, how do you introduce yourself? If you could only convey three facts about yourself, other than your name, what would those three facts be? In this episode, we consider these questions and others. Come take a listen. (Luke 3:7-18)
They say he lives at the North Pole, you may have seen him in the mall, and he's been in dozens of movies, but do you have you ever heard the original story about Good Ol' St Nick?

What’s on your Christmas Wish List? Thinking a little further ahead - what’s on your wish list for the year ahead? Let’s consider it together. (Jeremiah 33:14-16)
Have you ever felt like you had a foot in two different worlds? Put another way - have you ever found yourself at an intersection in life, where you have to make some pretty significant decision? Today we consider just those kinds of things. (John 18:33-37)
In today’s gospel reading Jesus criticises some religious folks, and praised the generosity of a widow. Come and take a listen and consider what practical application this has in our lives today. (Mark 12:38-44)
What do fireworks, Hallowe’en, and a man named Lazarus have in common? Come, take a listen, and then have a Happy Hallowe'en. (John 11:32-44)
Today, a blind beggar invites us to consider the difference between sight and vision and what that lesson has to do with our lives today. (Mark 10:46-52)
Last week, Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving. Did you notice where people sat at the table? Who was at “the head of the table”? Today, we listen in as two of Jesus’ disciples have a conversation about just that kind of thing … and how Jesus turns “table talk” into a teachable moment. (Mark 10:35-45)
Thanksgiving 2021
What’s your favourite Thanksgiving tradition? Is it the turkey? Time with family? Maybe it’s the cooler weather. Let’s take time to take stock together. (Luke 17:11-19)
Today we read about some religious zealots who try to paint Jesus into a corner. Meanwhile he gives his disciples some insight about the role of children in the realm of God. (Mark 10:2-16)
Long before there were talk shows or self help books in supermarket lines, the Letter of James offered advice on keeping our relationships healthy. How do we respond when our relationships are bruised and broken? How do we repair the damage? Come and take a listen. (James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a)
Have you ever received a text that made you wonder what the person was really trying to say? Has someone ever taken something that you’ve said in a way that you never intended? Today we consider how words can impact both our lives, and the lives of other people. (James 3:1-12)
Faith inspires us to reach beyond where we ever thought possible. Yet, the letter of James encourages us that faith, without works, is dead. This begs us each to ask how we put our faith into practise on daily basis. (James 2:1-10, 14-17)
An old ad jingle used to say that what you wear doesn’t matter … it’s what’s inside that counts. That jingle sounds a lot like something Jesus once said, when he got into an argument with some religious leaders. Come take a listen. (Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23)

Today a young woman named Mary invites us to consider how we can choose to be faithful, in all aspects of life - both big and small (Luke 1:46-55)
