Pneuma Podcast

Based on Luke 23:26–34, ‘Father, Forgive Them’ calls believers in Christ to reflect on one of the most important prayers ever spoken. This message explores the heart of Jesus in the midst of suffering and reveals why forgiveness stands at the centre of the Christian faith. We consider why Jesus prayed this prayer, how forgiveness runs through Scripture, and why it remains one of the hardest yet most life-giving calls for believers today. It is my prayer that as we reflect on God’s grace, God’s mercy, and the transforming power of forgiveness, may find that personal grace to live out the life of Christ in our own space..Credits Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Featured music: Father, Forgive Them – God’s Rustic HymnsNo copyright infringement is intended.Fair Use Notice This podcast may include short excerpts from copyrighted material, the use of which is covered by the fair dealing/fair use provisions of copyright law for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

Based on Joshua 1:1–9 in ‘Forward with Purpose’, we are invited into more than a change of dates on our calendars instead, we are called into a renewed way of living. The future does not belong to those who drift, but to those who move forward with purpose. God is calling His people to leave behind the weight of past failures, former successes, regrets, and distractions, and to step intentionally into His divine plan. Joshua 1:1–9 reminds us that every new season demands courage, obedience, and trust in God’s guidance. Just as Joshua was called to lead God’s people into the promise after Moses, we too are summoned to rise, be strong, and advance with faith. This is a call to intentional living, perseverance, and confident dependence on the God who goes before us. It is my prayers that this message blesses you in the New Year 2026.

Based on John 3:16–21 ‘The Greatest Is Love’ invites listeners to reflect on the greatest love ever revealed, the agape love of God. In this episode of Pneuma Podcast, we centre our hearts on the familiar words of John 3:16: “For God so loved the world…” These words are more than memory; they are an invitation. An invitation to encounter love made flesh in Jesus Christ, to step from darkness into light, and to reconsider the life-changing gift God offers to all. This is a message for believers in Christ and seekers alike.Credits Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Featured music: GOD SO LOVED is a song by We The Kingdom.  No copyright infringement is intended.Fair Use Notice This podcast may include short excerpts from copyrighted material, the use of which is covered by the fair dealing/fair use provisions of copyright law for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

Based on John 1:1–14 Joy for all the people, invites us to rediscover the joy found in Christ, the eternal Word made flesh, whose coming continues to light our darkness and renew our hope. The season of Advent reminds us that Christ has already come, and that He will surely come again in glory. Yet while we wait, we are not called to despair or weariness, but to joy. In a world filled with uncertainty, distraction, and pain, the joy of the Lord becomes our strength and our anchor. It is my prayer that this message blesses you.Credits Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Featured music: Come Jesus come: CeCe Winans.No copyright infringement is intended.Fair Use Notice This podcast may include short excerpts from copyrighted material, the use of which is covered by the fair dealing/fair use provisions of copyright law for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

Based on Mark 1:1-8 ‘Earnest Preparation for the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ’ confronts listeners of Pneuma Podcast with a voice from the wilderness, calling for urgent preparation. John the Baptist's message isn't about glitz or traditions, it's about a heart-deep revolution. Are we truly ready for the coming King? Has the fire of our first faith faded? We'll explore these piercing questions, discovering how earnest repentance clears the path for the Prince of Peace Himself to arrive, bringing a peace the world cannot give. It is my prayer that this message blesses you.Credits Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Featured music: He's Coming Back · The New Jersey Mass ChoirNo copyright infringement is intended.Fair Use Notice This podcast may include short excerpts from copyrighted material, the use of which is covered by the fair dealing/fair use provisions of copyright law for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

Based on Colossians 1:24-27 ‘The hope of glory’ draws our attention to the season of Advent. Advent reminds us that Jesus Christ came into our world to save humanity and to plant within us the living promise of eternal glory. As we look back to His first coming with gratitude, we also look forward with longing to His return, when we shall see Him as He is and share in His everlasting glory. Join me as we reignite the wonder of Christ’s coming, the power of His presence within us, and the hope that anchors our souls.Credits Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Featured music: CeCe Winans - Come Jesus ComeNo copyright infringement is intended.Fair Use Notice This podcast may include short excerpts from copyrighted material, the use of which is covered by the fair dealing/fair use provisions of copyright law for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

Based on Luke 19:1–9 ‘Advent Reflection: Why Jesus Came’ invites you to pause and reflect on the true reason Jesus came. Advent is not simply a countdown to Christmas; it is a call to reconsider our faith in the present moment. Many Christians know the story, yet few stop to ask whether the message has truly shaped their lives. And for those who have not yet believed, this season offers a powerful invitation to encounter Christ for yourself. Using the story of Zacchaeus, we explore how Jesus came to reveal God’s love, to forgive our sins, and to seek and save the lost. This is a message for believers and seekers alike and it my prayer that it blesses you.

Based on 1 Corinthians 1:18–25 ‘the Audacity of the Christian Faith’ reminds listeners, as the world prepares for Christmas, often forgetting the Christ of Christmas, we pause to reflect on the breathtaking audacity of the Christian faith. Today we revisit the stunning truth that “The Word became flesh and moved into the neighbourhood.” In a season filled with noise and nostalgia, we turn our hearts to the bold, disruptive message of 1 Corinthians 1:18–25: Christ crucified, Christ risen, Christ reigning. This is the gospel the world calls foolish, yet it remains the power of God. Join me as we rediscover the astonishing hope, grace, and glory at the heart of Christmas. It is my prayer that this message blesses you.

Based on Psalm 124:1–8, “A Constant Need for God’s Mercy.” Invites listeners to explore how, without God’s mercy, we would be overwhelmed by life’s storms. Every victory, every breath, and every moment of peace is a gift of His enduring compassion. As we journey through this message, may you be reminded again that our help truly comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth and that His mercy is the anchor that holds us steady through every trial.

Based on 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 ‘Turning Your Pain into Purpose’ invites listeners of Pneuma Podcast to explore the life of Jabez, a man named “sorrow” yet marked by honour, who refused to let his painful beginnings define his future. Like Jabez, I’ve known obscurity and hardship, but through Christ, my story changed. Join me to uncover how God transforms our deepest wounds into divine purpose, drawing from Scripture and real-life applications. In listening, prepare to turn your pain into purpose, your pain can become your greatest opportunity! I pray that God would richly bless you. Shalom!

Based on Philippians 3:1–8 “The Act of Letting Go and Letting God” Invites listeners to reflect on one of the hardest yet most liberating spiritual lessons in the Christian journey. Many of us carry the weight of the past, our mistakes, our regrets, even our achievements without realising that these can quietly hold us back from stepping into what God has prepared for us. In this podcast, we’ll explore how true freedom and progress come when we release control and allow God to lead. So, wherever you are listening from, I invite you to open your heart, slow down, and journey with me as we discover what it truly means to let go and let God. It is my prayer that this message blesses you in this season Shalom!

Based on Exodus 16:1–6 and John 6:25–35, “The Bread for the Journey Man” invites you to reflect on one of the world’s most loved and enduring foods — bread. For centuries, bread has nourished humanity, symbolising life and sustenance. Yet, have you ever wondered why Jesus chose bread — above all other foods — to reveal a divine truth? When He declared, “I am the Bread of Life,” He connected the ordinary with the eternal. This episode explores how, just as the body needs bread to survive, the soul needs Christ to truly live. The journey man, therefore, must eat this spiritual bread to be fulfilled, sustained, and satisfied along life’s demanding path. (Timeless rebroadcast, first published 22nd April 2019).

Based on Mark 4:35–41, “Lessons from the Storm” invites listeners of Pneuma Podcast to journey into the heart of one of Scripture’s most powerful stories. The disciples obeyed Jesus’ call to cross the Sea of Galilee, only to be engulfed by a sudden and violent storm. In their fear, they discovered that even the fiercest winds and waves are subject to the voice of Christ. This message encourages all who are facing life’s storms today, whether grief, doubt, or crisis that the presence of Jesus in the boat is the greatest assurance of peace, hope, and ultimate victory. It is my prayer that this message blesses you. Shalom! Credit: Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Music: Hope Darst - Peace Be Still  My NO copyright infringement intended.

Based on John 1:1–5 “Overcoming the Winter of Your Life.” Invites us to reflect on the season of winter. As the days grow shorter and the nights colder, many of us feel the heaviness of the season. Just as winter brings long dark nights and biting winds, life too can bring seasons of difficulty, loss, and discouragement. In this episode, we will explore how Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, shines into our darkest hours, bringing warmth, healing, and the promise of new beginnings. If you’re walking through a cold, challenging season, stay with me as we discover together how His light overcomes every winter of the soul. It is my prayer that this message blesses you. Shalom!

Based on Acts 9:1–19, “The Receipt of Discipleship.” Invites listeners to take a journey through the dramatic conversion of Saul of Tarsus, better known as the Apostle Paul, whose encounter with the risen Christ transformed him from fierce persecutor to fearless disciple. Using the familiar analogy of shopping, we will reflect on the importance of a receipt as proof of purchase and consider how every Christian must carry spiritual evidence of the price paid for our salvation and the life we now live in Christ. Salvation is God’s free gift, yet discipleship costs us everything, and only those with genuine receipts will stand with confidence before the all-knowing God. Come with me as we unpack what it truly means to bear the marks of Christ and to present the undeniable proof of a life surrendered to Him. It is my prayer that this message blesses you.   Credit: Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Music: Jesus All For Jesus - Robin Mark  NO copyright infringement intended.

Based on 1 Kings 18:30-40 ‘The Objective Reality of God’ invites listeners to reconsider the fact that God is real. From the days of Elijah on Mount Carmel to the empty tomb of Jesus Christ, Scripture testifies that God is not a human invention but the living reality who acts in history, reveals Himself in creation, and transforms lives by His Spirit. In a world filled with scepticism, shifting opinions, and competing voices, the question remains: Is God truly real? Let us explore the witness of Scripture, the fire of God’s presence, and the hope of Christ’s resurrection. Together, let us declare with conviction, as Israel once did: “The Lord—He is God! The Lord—He is God!” It is my prayer that this message blesses you.   Credit: Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental)Music credited: Catshill Baptist Church - Show your power (He is the Lord)  NO copyright infringement intended.

Based on Luke 13:1-9 ‘Metanoia,’ an ancient Greek term for a complete spiritual conversion which is a fundamental shift in life sparked by sincere repentance. In this podcast Metanoia is to explain “repentance” which is often misunderstood as mere guilt or religious control. However, Metanoia is far more: it’s an awe-inspired change that carries the responsibility to remain steadfast in our faith. This active, ongoing turning toward God is the very key to sustaining our walk with Christ. It is my prayer that this message blesses someone again. Shalom!

Based on Psalm 34:1–7 “Praise God in Every Situation”, calls to reflect on the impact praising God have on us. For David the words of this Psalm were not written in a palace, but in a cave. Not in triumph, but in fear. He was hunted, humiliated, pretending madness to escape but still he declared, “I will bless the Lord at all times.” That’s the power of praise. It isn’t about circumstances it’s about who God is. Today, together, let us explore how praise can lift us, frees us, and declares God’s presence even in the darkest places. It is my prayer that this message blesses you. Shalom!     Credit: Background music: Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental) Music: Scott Underwood – You are God credited.

Based on Luke 10:38–42 ‘Split Attention’ draws from the timeless story of Mary and Martha. Martha, though full of good intentions, was pulled in many directions, serving, striving, worrying, while Mary sat quietly at Jesus’ feet, choosing the “one thing needful.” This contrast is not just about two sisters; it is about us. We live in an age of endless busyness, screens, and demands, and our souls are constantly at risk of distraction. Yet Christ calls us to single-hearted devotion. So, I invite you to journey with me into this message, as together we consider what it means to give Jesus our undivided attention. I pray that this podcast blesses you.

Based on 1 Corinthians 15:10–19, 'There Has to Be More', calls believers as well as nonbelievers to reflect on the cyclical routine of this life and to consider to the fact that there must be something deeper, something eternal about our existence on this side of eternity. In this message we will explore some of the greatest questions known to man such as: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? And in that search, we will discover that Christ alone offers the hope and meaning our restless souls crave. It is my prayer that this message blesses you.
