What Sort of Person Are You?

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/15

You don’t like to label people … but let’s be honest, some people are just obnoxious. You’ve met them, I’ve met them … but the question is, do you meet one each morning when you look in the mirror? Twentieth century, New York real estate mogul and hotelier Leona Helmsley developed quite the reputation for being one of the most obnoxious public figures of her time. Together with her husband, she built a vast hotel empire. But she was best known for her ruthless business tactics, the way she

Bad Religion

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/14

“Religion” is a word with which I have a rather uneasy relationship. I get that it’s a commonly used term to label a belief system that’s become … well, organised if I can put it that way. But I still don’t like it. How about you? Why don’t I like it? Because so many bad things have been done in the name of “religion”. And I’m not pointing the finger here at any other religions – let’s get right to the heart of it. So many bad things have been done in the name of Christianity and its religious

So many things promise so much. You can’t spend even five minutes online without some ad popping up spruiking this or that. Mostly they’re just a lot of hot air, but when you’re out of breath – as we all too often are in this fast-paced world – they can easily suck you in. So instead, let me share something with you today that’s real, that’ll never fail, that brings life – rich, abundant, life. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, His disciples were looking for a heavenly answer to their worldly

The Breath of Life

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/12

Sometimes – often-times, in fact – the simplest things in life yield the greatest benefits. And we ignore them at our peril. Did you know that deep breathing – several slow deep breaths completely filling your lungs, holding, and then slowly letting them out again – has scientifically proven health benefits? It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering your blood pressure and heart rate and reducing stress and anxiety. So the very same breath that gives us life can deliberately be

Take a Deep Breath

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/11

There’s so much in life that we take for granted, not the least of which is the life-giving ability to breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out – the very breath of life itself. Every minute of every day each of the 8.23 billion people on Earth breathe in and out around 15 times. That’s 7 litres in, 7 litres out, which makes for a 115 billion litres (30 billion gallons roughly) of air movement caused by the human race every minute of every day. That’s an awful lot of hot air, wouldn’t

Good Common Sense

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/10

It’s pretty amazing how easily our emotions can override good common sense. Everything from pride to fear, from anger to loneliness can cause us to make some really bad decisions; decisions that we’ll end up regretting down the track. In 1812, Napolean Bonaparte, the self-appointed Emperor of France, launched a massive military campaign against Russia. He put together one of the largest armies ever assembled in Europe – 600,000 soldiers from various European countries under his control. Never

God's Love Fills the Earth

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/09

Have you ever felt completely unloved … I mean, as though there’s not a single person on this planet who loves you? I have, and without doubt that was the lowest point of my life. I’m not sure if everyone gets there, but I suspect that at some point we all do. You can feel unloved even when people do love you – and that feeling is the absolute pits. Nineteenth century poet and writer Edgar Allan Poe wrote some dark and macabre pieces. Orphaned at a young age, his life was marked by tragedy,

Be Confident in the Darkness

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/08

Do you remember as a child being afraid of the dark? Yeah, so when darkness descends on our lives once more, that fear we once felt comes rushing back. But with all my heart, I know that God wants to give you His confidence amidst dark times. Irena Sendler was a Polish social worker who saved around two and a half thousand Jewish children during the Holocaust. She smuggled them out of the Warsaw Ghetto by hiding them in ambulances, sacks, even coffins. She hid her meticulous records of the

Don't Overestimate Your Problems

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/07

When you’re faced with a problem, it’s really easy to overestimate its magnitude. The more grief it causes you, the bigger it becomes. It’s only natural. What’s needed here is a sense of perspective. So, here goes. If the sun was hollow, you’d be able to fit 1.3 million earths inside. Just let that sink in – 1.3 million! Yet the sun’s classified as only a medium-sized star in the known universe. The best estimate that astronomers have been able to come up with thus far is that there appears to

Power From Above

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/06

It absolutely flicks my switch when the unlikeliest person does something brilliant – something completely out of the box, something that no one expected. How about you? In 2009 Susan Boyle walked out onto the stage of the TV show, “Britain’s Got Talent”. She was quirky … really quite odd. When she told the judges that she wanted to be a famous singer, the audience collectively rolled their eyes. Then she opened her mouth and sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables. She sang it like a

Stop! Trying to be a Better Person

2025/07/05

Over the years, it's frustrated the living daylights out of me that, as much as I tried to deal with my own ingrained character flaws (and we all have them), I wasn't able to change any one of them on my own. Man, that used to drive me crazy! How about you? Back in the 16th century, the pirate Grace O’Malley terrorised the Irish seas. She was known for her ruthlessness, commanding a fleet that pillaged ships and coastal settlements. But her life took a dramatic turn after a bold encounter with

2025/07/04

As you and I simply get on with life, it’s kind of easy to drift away from what we’ve believed; what, at the core of our being, we’ve held to be true; what really mattered to us way back when but somehow it’s all been crowded out by the stuff that presses in on us day to day. Back in the early 17th century, Dutch sailor Pieter van der Linde and a few of his crew were caught in a storm that separated them from their ship. Thinking they were near the coast, they sailed on not realising that, in

This is What It's All About

2025/07/03

The faster the pace of life gets, and the more crowded our waking hours become with the thousand details that we deal with each day, the more unthinking, the more transactional, the more dehumanised our actions tend to become. What’s something that you do on autopilot day after day? Perhaps it’s making the kids’ lunches and getting them off to school. Or driving the same route to work each day in the same wretched traffic. Or answering the barrage of emails that never seem to stop piling into

The Authentic Christian Life

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/07/02

Authenticity and integrity are attributes we tend to value highly. Although, sadly these days, they’re all too often shouted down by a world more interested in personal gain than in decency and truth. Of course, there’s nothing new in that. Back in the late 18th century, slavery was still deeply entrenched in the British economy. The transatlantic slave trade was a brutal and lucrative industry involving the forced transportation of millions of Africans. British politician and committed

Neither Gracious Nor Beautiful

According to the World Health Organisation, each year around 1.2 million people globally die in road accidents, with tens of millions more suffering non-fatal injuries. Back in the early church there was a couple, Ananias and Sapphira, who suffered a fatal accident. Although, it wasn’t really an accident. Acts 5:1-6 There was a man named Ananias. His wife’s name was Sapphira. Ananias sold some land he had, but he gave only part of the money to the apostles. He secretly kept some of the money

Danger! Cliff's Edge

Imagine just for a moment that you’re standing at the edge of a cliff. Below you, the rocks are sharp, the fall is fatal, the wind is howling. But someone’s posted a warning sign: “Danger—Cliff’s Edge.” You’d think twice about getting too close, wouldn’t you? That’s exactly what this passage is – a warning sign, and it’s not to be taken lightly. Hebrews 10:26-27 If we decide to continue sinning after we have learned the truth, then there is no other sacrifice that will take away sins. If we

With Radiant Face

Some people seem to be more resilient than others. Okay, your background and your “personality type” are going to have some bearing on that. But still, we each have to play the cards we’ve been dealt. So how can you become more resilient in facing the things you have to face? Back in AD 155 Polycarp, the Bishop of Smyrna (located in what is today, Turkey) was arrested for refusing to worship the Roman Emperor. When urged to renounce his faith he famously declared, "Eighty and six years have I

I never actually set out to offend people … honestly, I don’t! But some days it’s unavoidable that some will find what I have to share … well, offensive. Today could well be such a day. Do you like being comfortable? I certainly do. I have a soft, brown leather lounge chair in the corner of my study. I’ve had it for years and I swear it’s the most comfortable chair I’ve ever sat in. It’s my thinking chair, my praying chair, my relaxing chair. We do like to surround ourselves with comfort so,

The Rollercoaster Ride

During those tough times in life, we invariably find ourselves on an emotional rollercoaster. No sooner have you pulled yourself up by your bootstraps than your emotions seem to plummet into the depths of despair. You might be interested to know that the world’s largest rollercoaster is called “Kingda Ka”. It’s located in a theme park in Jackson, New Jersey in the good old US of A. Kingda Ka launches you from 0 to 128 miles per hour (that’s a bit over 200 kilometres per hour) in just 3.5 seconds

Why Am I So Sad?

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/06/26

One of the things that makes the bad times that we sometimes travel through in life feel even worse is, in the midst of them, remembering the good times that once were. What went wrong? Why can’t things be like that again? Why am I stuck here? That phenomenon of lamenting the good times does indeed make the bad times feel much worse; the dark times feel much darker; your isolation feel more complete. That’s why, during those times, it feels like you’re the only one. But rest assured, when you do
