Praying in faith
Praying in faith Kate helps us to understand what it means to pray ‘in faith’. I’ve been thinking about how we pray ‘in faith’, and what does that mean? In the Lord’s prayer we ask God to ‘give us today our daily bread’. We can’t fake faith or try and pretend we believe, the key […]

When I first started following Jesus as a teenager I was amazed that I could talk to God and that He would listen to me! Prayer and talking to God was a huge excitement and revelation […]
Breathe
Breathe Hazel has been looking at breath and breathing in science and in the Bible. I had been discussing with a physiotherapist recently how we can breathe in certain ways to help to manage pain.
