Get Your Hands Dirty

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/11/21

Some people, let's face it, are downright objectionable. The moment you meet them, you come to the conclusion that you want to spend the rest of your life without them. Their lives are messy. Their attitudes are toxic. The easiest thing to do is to steer clear of them. Nicky Cruz was a violent New York gang leader, hardened by abuse and hatred. When preacher David Wilkerson told him that Jesus loved him, Cruz beat and threatened him—but Wilkerson kept coming back with unwavering love. Eventually,

When Evil Assails You (3)

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/11/20

It seems that these days the louder people shout, the more others listen – even if they're in the minority, even if what they're espousing lies somewhere between lunacy and extremism. If they disagree with you, they want to shut you down, cancel you out, erase you from the public square. And that's incredibly intimidating. In many parts of the world, it's become unacceptable to say that a man is a man and a woman is a woman. Crazy as it may seem, that simple statement of the plainly obvious truth

There are times when evil strikes at us from the outside, in … people, circumstances, systems, social trends that attack the good that we're trying to do. It's happened to you too, right? But there's nothing new in any of that. Not many years after Jesus had walked this earth, His Apostles were out there doing good. Acts 8:9 Now there was a man named Simon who lived in that city. Before Philip came there, Simon had been doing magic and amazing all the people of Samaria. He bragged and called

When Evil Assails You (1)

'Evil', I think you'd agree, is a strong word. So there are not many things in our lives to which we'd ascribe that label – 'evil'. A murderer, sure. A child abuser, absolutely. But stuff in our own lives? Not really. And yet, we can all look back at some particularly bad things we've done – perhaps there are one or two still lingering in your life; husbands who unthinkingly speak harshly to their wives over and over again, day after day destroying that most precious of relationships; people in

Plod for God

Let's face it, some days you just don't feel like showing up; for whatever reason – and there are many – you just don't feel like playing the game. Some days, staying in bed feels by far the best option. Some days … The day that I prepared today's short message, I definitely didn't feel like showing up. I was just getting over a chest infection and I felt awful. But when you do something like this – Fresh – 365 days a year, there are writing and recording schedules, deadlines to be met. At times

On Your Best Day

There's absolutely nothing, it seems, that can beat a good run in life. You know, when you have a period of weeks or months when everything seems to be falling into place – your finances, your health, your family, your relationships. Everything just clicks. Fantastic! I know, I realise that you may not be in the middle of one of those fine, warm, sunny, pleasant stretches at the moment. There always seems to be something, right? But when life's great, when the going's good, there's a risk – a big

You and I, we're surrounded by so many talented people, aren't we? People who can do things we could never do; who've achieved things we'll never achieve; who have their lives so together that it beggars belief. Look, much of that talent is somehow baked into them; it emanates from their very DNA. My friend Lorraine who's the most gifted violinist. My old friend Laurrie, whose gentleness and strength have him ministering healing into conflict and strife. Those people are capable of things that

Can I ask you to cast your mind back over all the mistakes – big and small – that you've made in your life. Financial, health, relationships, career, pride … the whole lot. Doubtless, like me, you could write a book about them. Those mistakes can weigh heavily on our hearts. Have you let go? Have you forgiven yourself? Or are the consequences still robbing you of your peace and joy, hanging over your future like a dark cloud? What mistake from your past continues to haunt you? As you feel the

When All Hell Comes Against You

According to latest estimates, there are over 5 million podcasts and 600 million blogs out there, collectively publishing nearly 8 million episodes and posts a day. That's on top of "traditional media" where true journalism has largely been displaced by carefully crafted spin … so many people throwing ideas – good and bad – at us … it's hard to know what to believe anymore. Let's be honest. Whilst there are some real gems of wisdom out there, a lot of it's toxic rubbish. And in the face of this

How Backsliding Begins

FRESH Official Podcast ·

2025/11/12

Almost everything good that we set out to do involves sustained effort over time. It begins as a good idea, but eventually the temptation to take your foot off the pedal, to slow down, to pull over, cuts in. And so … the backsliding begins. Entropy is a principal of physics that basically says that in any system order turns to chaos, organisation to disorganisation, ultimately leading to breakdown and decay. Think of an egg. You break it into a bowl and it's ordered – a yolk surrounded by the egg

Imagine for a moment that you're starving … I mean, you haven't eaten for weeks. You're on the brink, your body's shutting down. The suffering is unspeakable. So, what lengths would you go to, to get some food in your belly? Instinctively, the answer is that we'd do just about anything to get fed. Why wouldn't we? When Jesus had starved in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights, the devil came and tempted him to end His suffering in His own strength. After all, argues the devil, You're the

Have you ever dreamed of doing something really good, something profound, something that would make this world a better place? We all have, right? But there seem to be so many obstacles in front of you that conspire to stop that dream from becoming a reality. Do you know what I think the greatest obstacle of all is? Our day-to-day humdrum – just the reality of getting through life, making ends meet, getting to the end of the week exhausted and trying to grab a bit of rest over the weekend. When

Truth to the Core

2025/11/09

Some people have a real knack for cleverly summing up complex concepts in a single sentence that packs such a punch that it continues to be quoted centuries after they're gone. St Francis of Assisi, who lived in Italy in the late second and early third centuries AD, is credited with having said this: "Preach the Gospel, use words if necessary." But it turns out that there's no historical evidence that he actually said or wrote those words. In fact, his actual teachings emphasised both living out

Unless you're one of those annoyingly blessed people who never has to worry about their weight, chances are you've tried many a diet. But how easy is it to undermine all your efforts by falling back into your old eating habits? Mark Antony was a skilled Roman general and politician in the 1st Century BC. He sought to rule Rome but fell to the temptation of his love for Cleopatra. Instead of focusing on his political and military strategy, he became entangled in their affair, prioritising pleasure

Some people are blessed with a natural strength. That's great. Good on them. But for others, emotions and circumstances all too often play havoc with their sense of certainty. And no matter where you happen to be on that spectrum, we all go through times when we're rocked to the core. All of us! We've been chatting about this whole certainty and uncertainty thing on and off over the past few weeks.

That's 55 trillion a year. Mind-blowing, right?!

Love Goes Out of Its Way

It's easy to feel neglected when we're the ones struggling, while the people around us just seem to be getting on with business as usual. It leaves you thinking … what about me? And yet, how easy is it for us to ignore the suffering of others and simply get on with our own lives? Perhaps you've heard of the parable of the Good Samaritan, told by Jesus on this very thing. A man was beaten, robbed and left bleeding by the side of the road. Two religious men – a Levite, and then a priest – walked by

Assuming that you, like most people, want to live a better life – whatever that means to you – what would you be prepared to change to make it happen? Twentieth century American billionaire, Howard Hughes, wanted success, happiness and a better life. Yet he refused to address his worsening mental health and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Despite his immense wealth, paranoia and a fear of germs led him to become a recluse, isolating himself in dark hotel rooms. Instead of confronting his issues

It's a fact of life that you can be absolutely certain of something – certain to the core – until something comes along and pulls the rug out from under your feet, causing you to question everything you were once so sure of. The truth is that we take a lot for granted – your health for instance. Everything's going along fine.

As you look around at the leaders in this world, bluster and bravado seem to be something of a stock in trade, don't they? Even within your own circle, there are doubtless those who're absolutely convinced that they are God's gift to the universe. I have a confession to make. I used to be one of those people. Yes, with a higher-than-average IQ, a quick tongue, and seemingly boundless energy … in my own mind, I was superior to the average punter. How ugly that must have seemed to those around me
