What Fills Our Soul?
Sometimes when our faith feels dry, we think we need to know more—but Jesus reminds us that we’re nourished not just by information, but by participation. As we step out of being consumers and become contributors, joining God in making an eternal difference, something comes alive in us too. We don’t have to have all the answers or do it all; we simply need to be faithful with the people God puts in front of us. Because when we move from “What can I get?” to “Where can I give?”, we discover a life that overflows with purpose and joy.

What happens when God’s grace is given to people we don’t think deserve it? In week three of Ghosting God, Leon Evans explores Jonah’s struggle with God’s compassion towards Nineveh — a people Jonah believed deserved justice, not mercy. Jonah was happy to receive a second chance from God, but angry when that same grace was extended to others. His story challenges us to consider who our “Nineveh” might be, where we’re running from the things God wants to reveal in us, and whether we can know God’s will without sharing God’s heart. The question isn’t whether Jonah changed — the story leaves that unanswered. The question is whether we will change: will we receive God’s grace and extend that same grace to others, even those we struggle to love?

Sometimes God doesn’t rescue us immediately because He’s doing something deeper in us. Rock bottom may not be where God’s story ends; it may be where we discover a fresh purpose and a new fragrance for our lives.

In week one of Ghosting God, we explore the story of Jonah and what happens when we run from God instead of responding to him. Jonah’s story reminds us that ignoring God can take us further from where he wants us to be, but even when we run, God never stops moving towards us. Whatever storm we’re facing, the invitation is simple: stop running, turn towards God, and trust him with the next step.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

The vastness of creation reminds us that although we are incredibly small, we are far from insignificant because the God who created the universe keeps us on His mind, knows us, sees us and cares deeply for us. Whether we are in seasons of joy or struggle, worship reminds us of what remains true: God is bigger than we can comprehend, and He has given us everything through Jesus.
Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock

Life doesn’t always go to plan, and sometimes the unexpected storms we face can shake everything we thought was secure. However faith isn’t about controlling the outcome or pretending we have no questions; it’s about trusting the person of Jesus, knowing that He can calm the storm around us, or sometimes bring peace within us even when circumstances remain unchanged. Ultimately, the invitation is to build our lives on Christ as our firm foundation, because when everything else is shaken, He remains constant.

Why do Christians sing so much about the name of Jesus? In the Bible, a name represents identity, character and authority—not just a label. While people often "name drop" to borrow influence, Jesus' name stands above every other because it reveals who He is and what He came to do.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

Our confidence in God's goodness is not based on an easy life but on His unchanging character. God's goodness is revealed through His patient mercy towards humanity, His unseen protection over our lives, and His faithful presence. Even in suffering and uncertainty, God remains good—not because life is always good, but because He is.
Speaker - Stuart Blount

Laura unpacks why Christians sing lyrics about graves, dry bones, resurrection and death, explaining that these songs are rooted in the central story of the Bible rather than strange religious imagery. They are reminders that Jesus continues to restore relationships, renew hope, heal brokenness and breathe life into every place we invite Him, calling us to live as people who carry His life and love into the world.
Speaker - Laura Hancock

We often sing words without fully understanding them, however we're invited to discover the rich truths behind the songs we sing; allowing biblical truths and theology to shape our faith through songs of praise, declaration and testimony. Worship transforms us, reminding us of our identity and renewing our hope even in difficult circumstances, just as songs sustained believers throughout history.
