    Starve the Algorithm, Part 3: Your Feed Is Lying To You - And You Don’t Even Know It // Chris Podlich

    Your feed is full of voices telling you what’s true but the algorithm amplifies the loudest ones, not the truest ones. We’re more informed than any generation in history and somehow less sure of what’s actually real. This message looks at why the things that feel true online the post with a million views, the take you’ve seen repeated until it sticks, the confident voice with the slick production, so often aren’t, and what it really takes to tell the difference. Drawing on an old story about a shepherd whose sheep could pick his voice out of a crowded, noisy pen, it makes a surprising case: the way through the noise isn’t sharper fact-checking or a better filter. It’s learning to recognise one voice you can actually trust. What you’ll walk away with: A simple filter for the four things we all quietly mistake for truth online — popularity, repetition, confidence and raw emotion. Why the people close enough to see your flaws are a faster route to the truth than any expert you’ll never actually meet. What it looks like to find your footing when you can’t sit across the table from whoever’s on your screen. A practical challenge for the week: naming the two voices quietly shaping how you see yourself — and how to turn the volume up on a better one. Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Starve the Algorithm, Part 2: Why the Algorithm Feeds Your Anger // Chris Podlich

    You don't think of yourself as an angry person. So why does ten minutes of scrolling leave you fuming at strangers you'll never meet? Anger is the number one emotion the apps use to keep you hooked, because outrage is what keeps you scrolling. This message digs into why being angry online can feel so good, like clarity, like energy, like finally being on the right side, and why that same feeling quietly makes us less honest with ourselves. It also opens up some of the most direct and practical words Jesus ever said about how to treat the people who get under your skin, described here as more like medicine than comfort food. If your feed leaves you wound up more often than you'd like, this one offers a different way to carry all that frustration. What you'll walk away with A quick, practical crash course on five ways to actually retrain your feed so it stops serving you the stuff that winds you up Why anger online feels like clarity, energy, and being right, and the trap hiding underneath all three The difference between reacting to a 45-second clip and forming a real, considered response A simple, honest habit for the next time something on your feed makes your blood boil Why treating the person on the other side of the screen as an actual human being changes more than you'd think Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Starve the Algorithm, Part 1: What You Focus On Is Forming You - And Your Phone Knows It // Chris Podlich

    You grab your phone to escape for two minutes and lose an hour. What is all that scrolling quietly doing to you? The average adult spends more than four hours a day on a screen, and most of us reach for our phone the second we want to escape, feel better, or fill a spare minute. This opening message in the Starve the Algorithm series asks a bigger question than screen time: what are the algorithms doing to the realest part of you, the person you are slowly becoming? Drawing on a line from the wisest king who ever lived and aletter written to a small, distracted community two thousand years ago, it explores a simple but unsettling idea: what you focus on ends up forming you. What you'll walk away with:● A clearer picture of what your daily screen ritual is actually costing you, beyond just the hours● Why you are probably more distracted than rebellious, and why that is worth paying attention to● How the content in your feed quietly shapes what you believe about yourself, your relationships,and your worth● Three honest questions to ask yourself this week about when, why, and what you watch● A more hopeful way to change your habits that does not rely on willpower tricks that never seemto last Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Monday for Mondays, Part 3: Made For More Than A PayCheque // Sue Buchanan

    Seven out of ten of us secretly hope our job will prove that our life matters. It was never built to carry that. Most of us don't hate our jobs, we've just quietly started surviving until Friday. This episode digs into why Monday feels so heavy, and offers a different answer than a better boss, abigger salary, or a new roster. Drawing on an ancient letter written to workers who had almost no rights, it explores one unexpected idea that changes how we see our work, thepeople in it, and ourselves. What you'll walk away with: Why chasing a better boss, salary, or roster never fixes the Monday feelingA simple shift that changes how you treat the difficult people you work withHow ordinary, unglamorous tasks can start to feel like they actually matterA way to work hard without carrying pressure that was never yours to holdOne honest question to ask if you'd feel lost without your job titleSpeaker: Sue Buchanan | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Made for Mondays, Part 1: Why Your Work Matters // Chris Podlich

    Only about 1 in 4 people feel engaged at work on an average day. If Monday feels like something to survive, this one's for you. Most of us spend more waking hours working than doing anything else, and a lot of us quietly wonder whether any of it counts for much. This episode pushes back on the idea that work is just a paycheque, or worse, a punishment you're stuck with. Drawing on the oldest story we have about why humans work at all, it makes a case that the ordinary stuff of your week carries far more weight than you think, including the frustrating parts. What you'll walk away with: A different way to answer "what do you do?" that isn't tied to your job titleFour things your work is actually doing, even on the days it feels pointlessWhy the frustrating, thorny parts of your job aren't a sign you're in the wrong placeA simple end-of-day practice for noticing good work instead of only noticing what's left undoneLanguage for talking about purpose at work without sounding like a motivational poster Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    On Read, Part 2: Knowing How to Hear // Chris Podlich

    You send a message, see it marked “read,” and then… nothing. A lot of us feel that way about God too. This week we look at an old story about a kid working in a religious temple who hears a voice calling his name in the middle of the night, three times, before he even realises it's God. It's a strange, oddly relatable story about how easy it is to miss God's voice, not because it's too strange, but because it's too familiar. Chris Podlich unpacks why silence doesn't always mean absence, and shares a simple daily practice for actually learning to notice when God is speaking. What you'll walk away with: A simple explanation for why you might be missing God's voice without realising it Why the busiest, loudest parts of your week are the least likely place to notice him A five minute daily practice you can start today, no experience required Permission to keep listening, even if you're not sure where you stand on faith yet Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Finding Your Sweet Spot, Part 3: How To Break Free From the Money Traps Holding You Back // Chris Podlich

    We've all bought something that felt like a great deal at the time, and now we're still paying it off, wondering what we were thinking. If money has ever kept you up at night, this one's for you. This is the final part of a shame-free, guilt-free conversation about money, the kind most of us are already having at home about debt, savings, and what's actually enough. Chris digs into the common traps that quietly drain us, from subscriptions we forgot about to the "emergency" that became permanent, and a 2,000-year-old letter to a young guy named Timothy that names the real problem: it's not money itself, it's the feeling underneath it. The big idea is simple. Live with margin so you can live on mission. No spreadsheets-make-you-cringe lecture, just a practical way to close the gap between your income and your ego. What you'll walk away with: The four money traps that catch almost everyone, and how to spot themWhy wanting to feel rich is more dangerous than wanting to be richA simple give 10 / save 10 / live on 80 starting point you can actually useWhy a budget might be the most spiritual thing you do this weekA reframe on wealth that takes the pressure off keeping up with everyone elseSpeaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Finding Your Sweet Spot, Part 2: How Generosity Is The Counterintuitive Key To Freedom // Chris Podlich

    You think you're a generous person. The round-up at the checkout, the Christmas appeal, the mate who needed a hand. But what if giving and generosity aren't the same thing? This is a shame-free, guilt-free conversation about money, the kind most of us are already having at home about fuel prices, budgets, and what things cost, just with Jesus' perspective added in. Chris unpacks the difference between two kinds of givers, why a plan beats a guilt-trip every time, and a surprisingly old idea from a 2,000-year-old letter that still works today. No pressure, no sad songs, no slide of suffering faces. Just a clear, practical way to decide ahead of time where your generosity goes. What you'll walk away with: A simple test to know whether you're actually generous or just occasionally givingTwo questions that tell you exactly where your money should goWhy picking a percentage beats reacting to whoever guilts you bestA 90-day challenge you can trial with a built-in way outA way to grow your faith that no Bible study can matchSpeaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.
