Hi everyone,

Thank you for joining me for this final episode of season three. We discuss some of the 'firsts' I've experienced since Dad went home to be with Jesus, some secular resources that have beautifully articulated some of the emotions I've experienced over the past few months and the delicate process of parting ways with friends or family during this time.

We also outline the plan for season four, which will consist of much shorter episodes, but with greater frequency. In a nutshell, they'll consist of scripture reading and a devotion - without my...

Hey friends,

I'm very thankful that you could join me for another Withstand Podcast episode as I continue to navigate my season of grief. Dad passed away just over five months ago, but in many ways, it still feels like it happened just days ago. Today, I talk about how grief can hit like a sucker punch (in Australia, we call it a coward's punch / king-hit) on days when we're otherwise on auto-pilot, functioning as best we can. As CS Lewis points out, grief can often feel like fear and it can knock the wind out of...

Hey Friends,

How are you all doing? I know it's been a while since the last episode, but I'm so glad you could join me for today's focus on grief fatigue, recorded around 4.5 months after my dad - and the better half of this podcast - went home to be with the Lord and reunite with my mum.

This episode shines a spotlight on some of the things that tire us out during seasons of deep grief, including but not limited to life admin, situations and sometimes, people who don't seem to 'get it'. It's...

Hello friends,

I'm so grateful that you've tuned in for the fourth episode of our 'Grieving Dad' series. It's now just over two and a half months since Dad passed and if I'm honest, the grief has only intensified since the last episode. I'll talk a little about this throughout the show.

During this episode, I'll walk you through some of the questions that grieving people wish they weren't asked, with some of my own examples thrown in for good measure. Some of the tone deaf questions include:

Hello friends,

I read recently that "Whatever fills your prayers is your God" and to my dismay and great shame, it made me realise that in recent years, and especially in recent weeks, my 'God' has been my father.

In this episode, we look at what idolatry is from a secular and a biblical point of view. We also revisit a couple of pages from a book and a single reel from Instagram that brought into sharp focus exactly how I've recently been pulling focus from my first love: our Heavenly Father.

Hello friends,

It's now seven weeks since my dear Dad - and better half of this podcast - went home to be with the Lord. In this, our third season, I thought I'd walk you through my season of grief in real time, in the hopes that it will be a blessing to you.

Today’s episode will focus on the types of questions I desperately needed answers to in the hours, days and weeks following Dad’s death. We lay the table with scripture from 2 Corinthians Chapter 5, which has settled my restless spirit and prov...

Hi friends,

Apologies in advance for the tears at various points throughout this episode, but I couldn't let the opportunity to shine a light on my dear dad pass me by during this first episode of the season. A couple of weeks ago, we lost the better half of our podcast. I'm heartbroken and the grief sits like a lead balloon on my chest, but I rest much easier in the knowledge that dad is with Jesus. There's literally no better place to be.

If you're currently experiencing grief or possibly even anticipatory grief, please...

Hello Friends!

We're so grateful that you could join us for our final episode for Season Two. We fully intend to be back in your ears before Christmas.

In our latest episode, we take a look at what happened on this day, back in the day including the Roman Catholic Church switching from Latin to English Masses from 1964 and we look at the deepening divide within the Anglican Church. We take a closer look at "Fear Porn" and why our blessed hope in Jesus Christ is the only antidote to fear. We then round out...

Hello friends!

Call us old fashioned, but we much prefer to read our Holy Bible in print, rather than online. After all, burying our nose in God's word and holding His truth close to our heart is a little tougher when the words strobe off a screen, rather than lift off the page, don't you think? We take a closer look at why we shouldn't rely solely on technology for His word and fellowship in His name.

In this episode, we also pray for the two young Melbourne women who tragically lost their...

Hello everyone!

Thank you for joining us for our latest Withstand Podcast.

In our latest episode, we take a look at the latest headlines, pray for the two Melbourne teenagers who have fallen seriously ill in Thailand after unwittingly consuming methanol, continue our Bible reading with a focus on Psalm 41 and the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 18. We then reflect on whether or not Jesus supports war and run through a practical prayer plan during this time of escalating conflict across the globe.

How do we discern if we're hearing from Him, or we're distorting His words with our own perspective and will - or worse still, how do we discern if it's Satan who's speaking words of mistruth? We take a look at some of the latest headlines - including some more head-scratching decisions from the Vatican and we'll...

In our latest episode, we take a look at some of the latest relevant headlines, I revisit some of the people I’ve been following on socials over the past few months in the hope that they might be a blessing to you. We continue our Bible reading through the Book of Psalms and the Acts of the Apostles and then finish up with a reflection on discernment. Which is appropriate, given just how much information we’re all consuming right now – and Thank God that we have His glorious word to keep our hearts and mi...

Hello fellow Withstanders!

So thankful you could join us for our latest episode.

During the episode, we cover our usual 'on this day' and 'latest headlines' segments and we continue our Bible reading through the book of Psalms and the Acts of the Apostles. We'll also take a look at the uptick in narrative around dismantling the patriarchy and internalised misogyny in the aftermath of Donald Trump's election victory.

Hey guys. How are you all holding up? I hope you’re all doing okay, especially for our listeners who are awaiting the results of the US Election.

We're well and truly in Hyperbolic Headline season, can you feel it?

In our latest episode, we talk through a handful of recent headlines that have been written to keep the readers (ie you and me) in a perpetual state of fear and/or anxiety. What if we were to re-write them, based on what we know to be true from the pages of our Holy Bible?

G'day fellow Withstanders!

Can you believe we’re already in November?!

In our latest episode, we continue our Bible reading through the book of Psalms and the Acts of the Apostles, I apologise for being more salt than light in my speech during our Halloween episode and we end with a reflection from Charles Stanley on listening more than speaking, when we come before the Throne of Grace.

Hey friends!

Fellow awake Christians and awake non-believers alike are acutely aware that we’re in the midst of unprecedented upheaval. It’s hard to ignore the signs unfolding around us. The sands are shifting and for those of us who are believers, we have one foot on the shore and one foot pointed toward the Heavens, awaiting the imminent return of Jesus Christ – which is a surreal feeling – is anyone else in the same boat? Sometimes the push and pull of what’s here and now vs what’s to come is enough to give me vertigo. Duration: 00:20:24

G'day and God bless, everyone.

In our latest episode, we'll take a quick look at the latest headlines, I’ll get a few things off my chest with regard to inconsistent beliefs and perspectives in the Church about big, topical issues and we’ll finish with a reflection and prayer about God’s eternal love for Israel.

Disclaimers:

G'day friends!

Amidst the maelstrom of incoming information lately, has been the emergence of a really worrying trend among non-believers who truly believe that ‘nobody is coming to save them’ and are so convinced of this, that they’re urging others to believe the same.

And this clarion call is getting louder.

Each song is a message of hope and of not being abandoned by...

At the risk of playing into the mainstream media's rhetoric right now, it really does feel like many of our economic and civil institutions are collapsing before our eyes; or at the very least, are on their knees. While we’re being urged to ‘buckle up’ and hold on tight, I’m reminded that the wonderful Dr Charles Stanley once declared that “we stand tallest and strongest on our knees”. We’ll look at what Dr Stanley meant by this in light of all that seems to be falling apart, but for us believers, is actually fa...
