Episode 12 - The Pause. Holding space

In Episode 12 we talk about 'The Pause,' which is sort of the 'in-between period,' like when you're moving from one place to another, or even between jobs. There's that period of time where it can feel like nothing is happening. For some this time can often feel like 'nothingness' (if that's a word) it's like you're just floating. This can be a frustrating time especially if you feel nothing is working or happening, causing us to panic or stress. Then there's 'Holding Space, where we sometimes sit with someone during their moments of 'The Pause'. What does this look like? What does this feel like, and what does it mean? Well for many it can mean many things. Our special guest and friend Janelle travelled from Kirikiriroa, Hamilton, to be beside her sister as their whānau eagerly awaited the arrival of a precious new baby. Her journey reminded us that holding space does not always mean having the answers or trying to fix everything. Sometimes, it means simply being present listening, encouraging, praying and reminding someone that they are not alone. We reflected on the pause between an ending and a new beginning, waiting for news or direction and trusting GOD when we cannot yet see what comes next. The pause is not always an empty space. It can be a sacred time of preparation, healing, hope and love. We look forward to having a monthly catchup with Janelle as she shares some of her heartfelt journey and insights from her Faith.

Episode 173 - Acts 12 - "Appointed to service" - (Acts 6:1-6)

As the church in Jerusalem flourished, it faced a challenge familiar to every growing community: maintaining unity amid diversity. In this episode, we explore Acts 6:1-7, where a dispute between Hellenist and Hebrew believers threatened the peace of the fledgling church. Discover how the apostles responded with wisdom and godly priorities, refusing to neglect either the ministry of the Word or the practical care of those in need. Through the appointment of seven servant-leaders, the early church demonstrated that gospel growth requires both faithful proclamation and compassionate action. Join us as we examine how Christ's gospel not only reconciles sinners to God but also brings people of different backgrounds, cultures, and languages together in unity. This passage offers timeless lessons on church leadership, servant-hearted ministry, and preserving unity in the midst of growth.
