    Where is God in the Suffering?

    (Please note this episode was recorded back in 2020) We have changed our scheduled Life Issues for this week to respond to the tragedy at Big Church Festival. A pastor died and six others were injured by a falling sign at the festival last Friday. We continue to pray for all who are grieving at this time and processing what happened with the event being cancelled. We wanted to share a conversation which might be helpful and which speaks to some of the questions we have seen people posting on social media. Back in 2020, Vicky Gibbens spoke to author, theologian, and speaker Dr Amy Orr-Ewing when she released a book ‘Where is God in All the Suffering?’. She believes questions and doubts are not dangers to be avoided or suppressed, but can be companions on a journey towards a relationship with God, and a genuine exploration of faith.

    More than Amen | UCB 1 Life Issues

    What does it really take to lead well, while still looking after your faith, your family and yourself? Church Leadership is a calling not a comfort zone and can require More than an Amen. That's the title of this week's Life Issues, where Ashley Andrew is joined by Matt MacDiarmid, Author of Ten things I wish I'd Known Before Leading a church . He talks about what’s important rather than simply reacting to what’s urgent, balancing the demands of ministry and family, handling unfair criticism, owning our mistakes, making space to pray—and even finding time to play a bit of cricket!

    AI music: the impact on artists and worshippers

    Artificial intelligence has been around for many years, but only recently have we sped up how it's developing and the many ways we are adopting it as a society. Some church leaders are using it to help when constructing sermons, or even allowing AI apps to write them altogether! What about its potential impact on music and how we also worship? Christian artist and producer Dan Stirling, and Christian music lawyer Luke English joined Rob Westall for this week’s Life Issues episode.

    Jesus Manifesto

    Have we forgotten what Jesus told us to do? On the list of priorities for each day, how easy do we find it to go and make disciples of all nations?

In this week’s Life Issues, we will consider what have we overlooked or never seen before in the instructions Jesus has given us to live out his mission today?

He shares his personal experience of exploring identity and considers what is shaping some of our beliefs; be it certain public figures, our nation’s history and heritage, or the Bible, and our relationship with God?

    Labels don’t have to stick

    How do you lose labels that others put on you, or perhaps even the labels we put on ourselves? Particularly when those labels tell you that you’ll never amount to anything?
