Whether you’re parenting small children, commuting to work or heading out for a run, join us for our Bible based podcast as two sisters do a 20 minute bible study, on the go, going through a book of the Bible week by week. This first episode of Word Fuelled Hearts was all about introductions - both of the hosts, Sarah and Felicity, and the book of Habakkuk. Cup of tea in hand, and biscuit (the one more like a cookie than a scone) at the ready, conversation turns to the purpose o...
Tea, biscuits and some big questions from Habakkuk today. It seems that the prophet is witnessing violence, corruption and wickedness all around him. The mention of the ‘law’ being ‘paralysed’ makes it clear that this ‘iniquity’ is not just in the surrounding nations but even amongst God’s people. He sees the righteous being surrounded by the wicked, and he is deeply troubled. Habakkuk, therefore, asks God: Why are you not listening?Why are you not saving or doing anything?Why d...
Habakkuk’s lament meets a surprising answer today In this episode, with expected cup of tea and biscuit in hand, we hear God speak of the surprising way in which He will begin to bring justice upon the scene that Habakkuk has previously been lamenting. The surprise is that He is going to use the Babylonians to bring destruction upon God’s people. ‘I am doing a work in your days’, He says, and that work is to bring the fearsome, terrifying power of the Babylonian nation to bear on His people....
While a posh cup of tea and a hot Ribena are being sipped, in this episode we dig into Habakkuk’s second question. God has answered his previous question regarding his apparent inactivity in relation to the rampant injustice, and surprisingly justice is coming through the horrors of the Babylonian nation. Naturally, Habakkuk comes back with almost disbelief that his holy, pure God would use such wickedness to bring about his purposes. It doesn’t seem to fit with who God is, and what we ...
Discussing the heartbeat of the Christian faith over tea and a biscuit Episode Summary In this episode, there is no doubt that it is God speaking as the passage kicks off with ‘Then the Lord replied’. Habakkuk twice over has asked God why injustice prevails, and why he lets the Babylonians run riot in their merciless wickedness, and God says wait. Habakkuk is instructed to listen, watch and write down the ‘vision’ that God will give him. God is doing something, and it is going to happen at ...
Exploring God’s complete justice over tea and biscuits Episode Summary A longer passage this week, and it is jam-packed with precise, deliberate judgement from God that reverses much of the wickedness and iniquity that the Babylonians have enacted on others. We noticed that the verses are marked by ‘woes’, and each woe signals devastating judgment from God on these people who have been acting as if there’s no reference point outside of themselves. They have plundered others, and now they are...

Episode Summary This episode paused to dwell on just three verses, but they expose the root cause of the Babylonian behaviour, and so the reason for the formidable judgement that has been described in the previous verses. We noticed in these few verses that the Babylonians are described as trusting in a man-made, silent and lifele...
Habakkuk responds to God’s mighty and impending judgement in a prayerful song. Sarah started this episode by dropping the Jaffa cake bomb into the biscuit debate. For those in America, this decidedly cake-like, delicious treat has snuck into the biscuit aisles of supermarkets all over the UK, but there are many who reject it’s biscuit claim! Alongside biscuit things, we announced that there will an ‘Ask Us Anything’ episode in a couple weeks, so please do wing your questions to us via email...

Felicity & Sarah round up season one by answering listeners’ questions. See Chapter markers for the list of questions we answer. Tea and Biscuit Footnote Sarah finally moved into the classy world of ‘specially selected’ on the biscuit front and enjoyed a salted caramel chocolate dipped cookie. Felicity enjoyed the last chocolate hobnob in the house while sipping Yorkshire Grey. Thorough instruction here: How to make a cup of tea Yorkshire tea authority on the milk first or not deb...
Felicity & Sarah introduce Season 2 of their podcast. Whether you’re parenting small children, commuting to work or heading out for a run, join us for our Bible based podcast as two sisters do a 20 minute bible study, on the go, going through a book of the Bible week by week.
Felicity & Sarah begin to chat over the book of James over a cup of tea. It only takes 20-30 minutes to read James, so why not read it a few times between now and next week’s episode. We’ve enjoyed listening to David Suchet read it via this app or you can buy an audio Bible here. Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea: - How has it felt to read James? - Where do you see God’s grace coming through the letter? - How does double-mindedness feature? - What questions do you have as ...
Felicity & Sarah discuss how the gospel impacts how we view suffering. James kicks off his letter in a way that shows us he isn’t afraid to tackle the harsh realities of life. There is so much packed into these first few verses in James - we are simply beginning the conversation. Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea: - How do you think about trials? - How do these verses challenge you? - How can they help you ‘consider’ trials a joy? Where in your life do you...
Sarah & Felicity mull on the deep challenge of both listening to and doing what God says. As ever, this is just the beginning of a conversation. We wholly recommend chatting over these things further with someone else as you consider the weight of God’s word on your heart. Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea: - How can we better listen to the word? - What stops us listening well and being obedient? - Have you any experience of the ‘freedom’ that comes from bein...
In this week’s episode we take a look at James’ powerful words about favouritism and what it means for who we choose to love. As ever, this is just the beginning of a conversation. We wholly recommend chatting over these things further with someone else as you consider the weight of God’s word on your heart. Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea: - How are we tempted to show ungodly favouritism and judge? - How can we be more loving to every neighbour in our specific circumstan...
This week we are joined by Sam Allberry who helps us to tackle an essential but challenging part of James’ letter. As ever, this is just the beginning of a conversation. We wholly recommend chatting over these things further with someone else as you consider the weight of God’s word on your heart. Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea: - What really struck you as you read the passage for yourself? How did it make you feel? - James challenges his readers to have true faith. ...
In this week’s episode we take a look at James’ powerful words about the tongue, and what it looks like to pursue heavenly wisdom in relation to how we use our words. As ever, this is just the beginning of a conversation. We wholly recommend chatting over these things further with someone else as you consider the weight of God’s word on your heart. Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea: - how does James’ use of pictures help us to see the true impact of our tongues? - In what w...
2Both what to do with our double-mindedness and God’s answer reach a climax this week as James helps us to see the heart of the gospel. Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea: How do our desires and motives expose our over-friendliness with the world? What does it look like to see, confess and mourn our double-mindedness? What stops us taking our sin seriously and lamenting it?How does this help us delight in God’s lifting grace? We’re never without God’s grace, but how does it chang...
James warns his brothers and sisters about the folly of unbelievers who seek to dictate their own futures, and use wealth for unjust gain. Questions to dig into over a cup of tea: James is speaking about ‘worldy’ groups of people in these verses, it’s not the ‘brothers and sisters’ of the church family but he is telling them about these groups as a warning. What are the characteristics of the two groups? What are the issues? How does this help us to understand the world around us? How are...
