Live Your Best Life

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/22

So … life’s busy. Pressures to the left, problems to the right … here they come and you’re stuck in the middle. You’re tired. You try navigating your way out of them, but nothing seems to work. Now what? Back in 1819, the American merchant ship Commerce was wrecked off the coast of the Western Sahara, leaving Captain James Riley and his crew stranded in a harsh desert. It was a desperate life-and-death situation. Riley was determined to navigate his way to safety but to no avail. The desert was

The Opposite of Evil

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/21

The problem with bad habits is that they’re so incredibly difficult to shake. We know they’re wrong, but it’s as though they’re engraved deep on our soul. Or is it just me? Double-entry bookkeeping was invented by Italian accountant Luca Pacioli way back in 1494. For every debit in the accounts, there has to be a credit on the other side of the ledger. It’s a system that’s stood the test of time, laying the groundwork for modern accounting by providing transparency and rigour. For every debit,

Defeating Your Demons

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/20

The word “evil” is a pretty strong word. When we hear it, we think of Adolf Hitler or Idi Amin or Pol Pot. We rarely, if ever, apply that word to ourselves, to our own thoughts and actions. And yet, perhaps we should. John Newton was an 18th-century English sailor who became a slave trader. And make no mistake … that slave trade was callous, brutal … evil. Yet, during a violent storm at sea, he cried out to God for mercy and ended up surviving. That experience sparked a spiritual transformation

Don't Break God's Heart

Everybody wants a better life. I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person who doesn’t have something they wish they could change, right? We each get that. And yet, all too often we blame that one thing out there somewhere that’s causing us grief, when actually the problem lies within. I wonder if we were given the opportunity to look at our lives – our thoughts, our desires, our actions, our reactions – from the vantage point of heaven’s balcony, what we’d see … the things going on in our

Seek First to Understand

It goes without saying that we should be nice to one another. It’s blindingly, glimpsingly obvious, right? But how do you do that? How do you stop yourself from blurting something out when someone annoys you, or showing your disapproval through an off-handed, unthinking facial expression? Exactly how? It’s not easy, is it? Perhaps you’re a gentler soul than am I, but nevertheless people still annoy you, so the temptation’s there in the heat of the moment to give them a piece of your mind. And

Turning Worries Into Worship

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/17

Hope is a good thing. But for hope to be effective, it needs to be underpinned by a strong faith in someone or something capable of triumphing over the adversity against which we’re hoping for a good outcome. Think about it. If you’re hoping for something good to come out of your troubles, and yet you don’t have a strong faith in someone or something capable of delivering you from those circumstances … then the only thing you’re going to feel is anxiety. And that’s only natural, because when

Hope in His Unfailing Love

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/16

It seems to be an incontrovertible truth in life that no matter how strong someone or something might appear on paper, there’s always someone or something that’s stronger, someone or something that can defeat them. Have you noticed that? At the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the English army led by King Henry V, was vastly outnumbered. At the same time, they were suffering from exhaustion and disease. So, on paper at least, the French army, which had 20,000 and 30,000 troops compared to Henry’s

An Anchor for Your Soul

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/15

Have you ever felt like a small boat tossed about on an angry sea; that the storms of life were about to overwhelm you? You wouldn’t be alone. It’s in those times that what you really need is an anchor for your soul to keep you tethered, to keep you safe. During the HMS Bounty mutiny in 1789, Lieutenant William Bligh and loyal crew members were set adrift in a small open boat. They faced dangerous weather and treacherous seas as they navigated over 3,600 miles towards Timor. At one point, a

When Prayer Doesn't Come

I pray that life’s good for you right now, without too many struggles, with a sense of fulfillment, with hope for your future. Man, I pray that’s the case, but it may not be. And even if it is today, tomorrow could be a different story. Yep, I pray often for all those who watch, listen to or read these daily Fresh messages around the world. But let me tell you, there’ve been times in my life when my soul lay battered and bruised on the ground; when the trials of life had so assailed me that I

Wait Patiently

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/13

Hope is rather a strange word. It’s like a double-edged sword in a sense. Because whilst hope is undoubtedly a good thing, the very fact that you may need it, implies that there’s some ‘thing’, some adversity, some suffering perhaps … against which you’re hoping for a good outcome. Yep, hope is a strange word indeed. John Woolman was an 18th-century American Quaker. For over thirty years, he travelled extensively, speaking against slavery and urging others to see the inherent equality of all

Wait for the Beginning

There’s a certain inevitability to childbirth. A woman carries another human being around in her body, feeding, protecting, nurturing that little person, waiting, waiting, waiting … until … BANG, the first contraction strikes. A child is born. As you look around at all that’s going on in the world, man, things are a mess aren’t they? The untold suffering of tens of millions of slaves, still today. The many wars that are raging, still today. Young people going astray either into lives of crime,

Triumph Amidst Tribulation

2025/08/11

The trials and tribulations of life can some days seem insurmountable. Perhaps it’s an accumulation of a thousand little things that’s getting you down. Other times, something hits you like a tsunami. Whatever it happens to be for you at the moment, it grinds you down, right? The ministry of nineteenth and twentieth century evangelist Smith Wigglesworth was marked by miraculous healings, powerful preaching and a deep, deep faith. And yet, despite his powerful preaching and amazing healing

Some Truly Good News

2025/08/10

Have you ever had that experience of carrying a deep, dark secret around in your heart – something you did that was just so wrong that no one else knows about? It burdens you, it crushes you. Yep, I’ve been there too. That crushing burden comes from the fact that we know that ultimately actions have consequences; eventually it’ll come out; eventually we’ll have to pay the price. That’s something we’ve been chatting about rather a lot together over this past week. So let’s finish things off

Living in Fear

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/09

For many, fear is a constant companion. Now, you might be thinking “I’m not afraid of anything right now.” Good for you. The question is, what’s around the corner? We see fear, by and large, as being a bad thing … and often it is. But today I’d like to share with you a good fear, because as He did with Israel, no matter what may confront us in life, God wants to save us, to set us free from those bad fears into a good fear. 1 Peter 1:17-19 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially

Actions have consequences. That’s something our parents tried to teach us as we were growing up. And the sooner we learn that lesson, the sooner life gets a whole lot better. If I were to reach out right now and punch you in the face, it’d be fair for me to expect to be punished. And let’s be honest, you’d want me to be punished because that’d be the right thing to do. You may have noticed, if you’ve been able to join me over these past few days, that we’re focussing on this whole “actions have

A Solemn Warning

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/07

It’s pretty clear that, for many, the threat of punishment isn’t enough to stop them from committing crimes. But let me tell you, the very idea of standing before a court and being found guilty of a crime is way … way more than enough to keep me in line. How about you? I think most of us would agree that having a robust and fair legal system by which the accused can be judged guilty or innocent is a good thing; a very good thing. Whilst even the best legal system makes mistakes, could you

According to Your Works

2025/08/06

The media’s pretty tough on Christianity these days. I get that. Before I encountered Jesus, the goodness of those few Christians I knew pricked at my conscience eliciting, I have to say, a pretty nasty response. And let’s face it, the church continues to do some terrible things. Over the last few years, the Vatican’s been embroiled in a complex financial trial involving allegations of embezzlement, fraud, and misuse of church funds. It’s alleged that Vatican officials have stolen over 200

Don't Fool Yourself

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/05

You know what they say: you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. And yet we each seem to have a boundless capacity for fooling ourselves. Up to the age of around forty, I was completely unaware that I’d made my life all about me – my wants, my feelings, my reputation, my success. As a result, I’ve lived almost half my adulthood in self-delusion, convinced that I was a good person. That’s scary, but not all that uncommon. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

How You Live Matters

Loving families, when you think about it, are the very bedrock of our lives as communal creatures. Without them, society would fall apart … which perhaps goes some way to explaining the mess the world’s in today. Of course, not every child is blessed to grow up surrounded by a loving, albeit imperfect, mother and father. Fortunately I was and though my parents are both gone now, the upbringing they gave me is something I’ll cherish for all eternity. But that upbringing involved some tough love

Instinctive Reactions

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/08/03

When someone treats you badly, when they ignore you or insult you … how do you respond? The answer for most of us most of the time is that we respond instinctively, treading the same, well-worn path amidst conflict. Look, none of us likes to be ignored, to be slighted, to be thought or spoken ill of. None of us wants the people close to us to snap at us (as they so often do without thinking). But it happens almost daily. So what’s your instinctive response? Those with a strong personality type
