Lifecentral Church

In this episode of The Lifecentral Podcast, Debs sits down with Laura and Gareth to discuss the topic of spiritual gifts. We ask what is the difference between spiritual gifts and natural talents? How do our individual backgrounds affect our beliefs around this subject? Do we all have a spiritual gift? Where do love and the fruits of the Spirit come in? We round off the episode by looking at how as christians, we fulfil our mandate of helping others to find and follow Jesus in the context of using our spiritual gifts.

Ever feel like you’re being dealt blow after blow by life? Like being punished for something? How many people in our world feel ‘not loved’? ...the hurting, the broken... How do they feel? Like outcasts. Like they don’t belong. But you know what? While we were still a mess and when we’re in the middle of the tunnel of pain, Christ died for us.

Sometimes we need a bit of help to SEE. And one thing that stops us seeing or even accepting what we are seeing is PRIDE. We all have moments where we are faced with our pride. How can we deal with it when it rears it’s ugly head?
—Speaker: Jayne Sargeant

Disappointment is part of the human condition, a part of what it means to be human. Whether you're a believer or not - disappointment will build a wall in your life. Is God a problem-solver? Dream-maker? Desire-fulfiller? Something else? In our disappointment we need to look beyond ourselves...
—Speaker: Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

Where is God in disappointment? Margaret’s story is one of disappointment, sadness and grief, yet through it all she has felt closer and closer to Jesus. How is this even possible? Listen to her story to find out where God is when life deals you punch after punch.

Waiting patiently develops character. According to psychologists, patience, it turns out, is a pretty helpful attribute. It’s important that we recognise that before anyone had to wait for anything, God was already waiting for us...
—Speaker: Allison Evans

It's human nature to build and create —it’s what we do. But is what we’re building close to the original pattern of what God intended..? Or, have we settled for building something smaller, less impressive and less impactful? Let's ask God to show us, and be prepared for an answer.

In this episode of The Lifecentral Podcast, Debs sits down with Stephen and Gareth to discuss how we can feed ourselves spiritually. We discuss what a hungry spirit looks like and how we start to feed ourselves spiritually (as well as the importance of it). We round off the episode by looking at the obstacles we can face and things we can do to stay motivated.

A talk not just for the men... Women, you should listen in on this too. Every single one of us has had handed to us, an opinion of what it means to be a man. Commitment, faithfulness and loyalty are sadly not often things the women in our culture experience from men. Let's shed toxic masculinity and look to Jesus as a model of what the perfect picture of a man should be like.
—Speaker: Andy Hancock

Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. Our choice is to either live with the familiar or embrace the new that God offers. 'New' requires faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God! You don't need faith to stay in the old but you do to step into the new.
