Welcome to the LBC podcast! For the next few months we'll be exploring the parables - Jesus' provocative teaching on the Kingdom of Heaven. The message episodes are released each Sunday and for the month of November we'll be releasing season two of The Conversation Series on Wednesdays. TCS is a four part conversation bringing together the parables, prayer and our future plans, featuring special guests you may know and love.

    This is our first long-form podcast episode, giving us more room to discuss the whole idea of emotionally healthy spirituality. If you're not used to conversational pods, you might want to set aside some time to listen with a cup of tea or on a walk! While most episodes will be more focused on how we tend to our emotional needs, in tomorrow's episode Joyce and Amie discuss the main differences (and potential opportunities) between pastoral care and counselling, to give some context around the worlds they work in. They question what happens when we neglect our inner worlds and why people might look to both the church and professional mental health services for the support they need. As always, Bear the dog also makes his presence known, because he has no respect for Amie's work life.
