Can Christians pray to saints who have died—or speak to loved ones who have gone before us? This edition of Ask the Church explores why the Anglican Articles of Religion reject the medieval doctrine of the Invocation of Saints and what Scripture teaches about prayer and intercession. It also addresses an important question many Christians wrestle with: can those who have died in Christ actually hear us now? Rooted in Scripture and tradition, we discuss how Anglicans honor the saints' example while keeping Christ as our only mediator.

Have you ever felt like you were doing all the “right things” in your business or career but still weren't seeing the growth, fulfillment, or balance you longed for? Do you sometimes wonder if success means sacrificing your health, relationships, or peace of mind? What if the problem isn't that you're not working hard enough—but that you're working out of alignment with your true purpose?In this episode, Taylor Quigg, knows that struggle all too well. After climbing the corporate ladder and checking all the boxes of conventional success, she realized something was missing: authentic alignment between her work, her values, and the life she wanted to live. That discovery fueled her mission to help others break free from the cycles of burnout, overachievement, and chasing external validation.Taylor is more than just a coach—she's a guide who blends personal experience, professional insight, and a deep passion for helping people live lives of clarity, confidence, and purpose. Through her work, she empowers others to stop outsourcing their worth, reconnect with what truly matters, and build businesses and lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.In this conversation, Taylor shares her own journey of transformation, the lessons she's learned about aligning ambition with authenticity, and practical strategies for anyone who feels stuck in the tension between success and fulfillment.Get ready for a powerful discussion that will challenge you to rethink what achievement really means—and inspire you to design a life and business that are truly your own.Quotes:“You can really do whatever you want to do, and you can change the course of your life with just a simple yes in one direction.”“We think we have to have, with social media, this huge following to have an influence. But you can have an influence in your community. You have an influence in your house.”“There's so much to learn just hanging out and doing life together. I guess I've taken more of an unschooling approach without even realizing it.”Takeaways:Reevaluate your approach to education and parenting: Are you allowing your children to pursue their interests and thrive outside of traditional academic expectations?Practice vulnerability and seek community: If you're facing a challenge, consider sharing your story to connect with others and reduce feelings of isolation.Teach and model empathy: Look for opportunities to help your children (or yourself) understand and support others, especially those facing visible or invisible challenges.Conclusion:In this episode, Taylor's story reminds us of the power of resilience, the importance of community, and the value of forging our own paths—whether in education, business, or personal growth. By embracing vulnerability, advocating for ourselves and others, and nurturing empathy in our families, we can create lives filled with purpose and connection. Taylor's journey is a testament to the fact that, no matter the challenges we face, we have the ability to adapt, inspire, and make a meaningful impact on those around us.
What do Anglicans believe about Mary, the mother of Jesus? This edition of Ask the Church explores the Anglican view by asking three key questions: What must we believe? What may we believe? And what do we set aside as inconsistent with Scripture and tradition? From Mary's role as Theotokos (God-bearer) to questions about perpetual virginity, the Assumption, and the Immaculate Conception, this teaching shows how Anglicans honor Mary as the greatest of the saints while keeping Christ at the center. Listen now to gain clarity on this important aspect of Christian faith and tradition.
Lapsuuden haitalliset kokemukset, kuten väkivalta, laiminlyönti tai perheen vakavat ristiriidat, voivat horjuttaa lapsen turvallisuuden tunnetta ja heikentää stressinsäätelykykyä. Ne voivat haitata lapsen kokonaiskehitystä, kuten tunnesäätelyä, oppimista ja sosiaalisia taitoja. Pitkittynyt turvattomuus lisää riskiä mielenterveyden ongelmiin, kuten masennukseen, ahdistukseen ja tunteiden säätelyn vaikeuksiin.Psykologi Nina Lyytisen asiantuntijavieraana on Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitoksen tutkimusprofessori, psykologian tohtori Taina Laajasalo. Nina ja Taina keskustelevat siitä, miten lapsuuden ajan haitalliset kokemukset voivat vaikuttaa meihin aikuisena. Tainan tutkimuksen erityisalueena ovat haavoittuvassa asemassa olevat lapset ja nuoret.Tässä jaksossa kuulet muun muassa: - Mitkä ovat yleisimpiä haitallisia lapsuuden kokemuksia? - Miten lapsuuden haitallisia kokemuksia ja niiden vaikutuksia tutkitaan? - Millaisia pitkäaikaisia vaikutuksia lapsuuden haitallisilla kokemuksilla voi olla ihmiselle?. - Miten yhteiskunnassa ennaltaehkäistä haitallisten kokemusten vaikutuksia? - Voiko toipumista tapahtua aikuisena ja mistä eheyttävä kokemus rakentuu?Lisätietoja:Taina Laajasalon esittely THL:n sivuilla.Tainan jaksossa mainitsemia tutkimuksia ja muuta tietoaACElife-tutkimusprojektin verkkosivut.

Why pray words that aren't your own? From the Psalms to the Lord's Prayer, the Bible is filled with examples of God's people using pre-written prayers in worship. Far from stifling authenticity, these prayers connect us to the wisdom, breadth, and unity of the Church through the ages—helping us pray in ways we might never think of on our own. In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore the biblical roots of pre-written prayers and how they can enrich both personal and corporate prayer today.
