INTENT Balham Baptist Church

How easy do you find to listen to criticism from others? How quickly do you dole it out?

This week, Steve and Jim are exploring the way we process critical comments, how we handle them, and the impact they can have. Is there a way of engaging with them helpfully? Can they give us some insight about ourselves?

How much thought do you put into what you wear in the morning? Does it matter?

Join Steve and Jim this week as they wrestle with fashion, what its place is, and whether it can give us an insight into the unseen self. Are our clothes a doorway to the soul, or just another mask?

What’s your go-to conversation-starter? What supercharged questions do you try and dredge up for slow-going chats? 

Join Jim and Steve in the thickets and thorns of everyday conversations this week as they wonder about how we talk to others – those we know well, and those we don’t. Could any of it affect how we speak to God?

Well, there’s nothing like the moving of world events to highlight how podcast scheduling can make conversations irrelevant before they’ve even seen the light of day. Anyways, in the world we all inhabit following the Queen’s State Funeral, here are Jim and Steve talking about her passing from several days beforehand. How did her death impact you, or has it been hard to engage with?

What’s the pathway of life look like from your point of view? A yellow brick road? A tangled thicket? A tightrope?

This week Steve and Jim get caught up wondering about choice, opportunity and exploring. Has God got a single path that we need to stick to, or is there more freedom to life than that? Which way do we go next?

What do you do when your beliefs jar with your experiences in life? Do you bin the lot? Or just take them apart in the hope that they’ll magically put themselves back together afterwards? 

In this week’s chat Steve and Jim ponder how perspectives are shaped by those we journey alongside. Does it matter if we ignore to those we disagree with?
