John's managed to pick himself up after last Friday's show. Well to a certain degree at least - thank the lord. But the collective vibe scale is nudged handsomely towards ‘winning' as Elis has had one of his all time great days. Cycling? Check. Wales? Check. All time hero who laughs at every single one of his jokes? Check.So it's all the fun of the fair today. The topics of ‘banning pranks', ‘the greatest accents of the world' and ‘how to pad out an autobiography” float around the apple bobbing content tub, ready for the boys to sink their teeth into.And while you're here, check out the Bureau de Change of the Mind bonus episodes in the feed. Last time out there were some real surprise thrills. That's only on BBC Sounds.Have you got a UNESCO accent or know someone who does? Well voice note it to us on 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp, or add it to an email (however that's done) to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk.
Have you ever stepped on a scale that gave you the wrong number? Maybe it said you were lighter than you are—giving false confidence. Or maybe it made you heavier—leaving you discouraged. Jesus warns us about using a broken scale when we judge others—one clouded by hypocrisy, pride, and blind spots.But does that mean we should never judge at all? In Matthew 7, Jesus doesn't tell us to abandon judgment—He calls us to refine it. He invites us to examine ourselves first, to see clearly, and to discern rightly. This Sunday, join us as we explore what it means to judge with truth, humility, and wisdom—not with a broken scale, but with the heart of Christ.Please pray for Pastor Josh and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!

True vision isn't just with our eyes but with our souls. Walk by faith, not by sight.

Born and raised in Niagara Falls Ontario, Darla hung onto silver linings as a way of life as a little girl. She grew up fast and went onto Mcmaster University for Health Science followed by a career as a behaviour support specialist for individuals residing in a home living with Autism and dual diagnosis for 12 years. She was then accepted into a private paramedic program. Motivationally spoke in elementary schools, troubled youth and University pre-med students. A creative soul she writes poetry and wrote wellness articles for a local magazine. Currently, she has relocated to Nova Scotia and works for the Department of Justice, helping victims and their families navigate through the criminal court processes while providing support in court for victims of crime. Recently she received a promotion and now works in a specialized court for victims of Domestic Violence. At age 40 she met the love of her life. At age 43 pregnant was the last thing she thought she would be, but God is the best of planners and the disposer of all affairs. She is a Mother, and suddenly every word and credential that came before this seems to pale in comparison now. She is a Mother. Darla's episode is one for the books! Darla shares her story medicine with us from her maiden, to mother, and the deep loss, the death of the crone and matriarch of her & her husband's family, while Darla was pregnant with her first son Mahdi. Darla shares with us the journey she took to Lebanon to bury her mother in law while 7 months pregnant, Darla shares her pregnancy outside the system, her beautiful and intense birth with companion Kasia Diana, and losing her eyesight leading up to the birth of her Mahdi. This episode is the poetry of Life. Birth, Death & Love. It's also key to note, Darla did not touch on this in episode but worth noting, Madhi was born “small” 5.5 pounds full term, I guess after speaking with family Darla and Abe found out that many of Abe's family members children were all born around 5 pounds , and all grew into strong, large men!

Vipassana, also known as insight meditation, is training in bringing a clear, mindful attention to our moment-to-moment experience. We begin by relaxing through the body and then resting attention with the breath – or some other sensory anchor – and allowing the mind to settle. Then we open to whatever is predominant or calling our attention – sensations, emotions, sounds – meeting each arising experience with a clear, kind attention. The gift of this process is discovering balance in the midst of the changing flow, and gaining deep insight into the nature of reality.
I'm finding that right now, practice can be challenging.It's hard to get up an hour early in the dark.But that's often the case. The bigger challenge right now is not the early dark mornings.It's the lack of clarity that arises when anger, impatience, and fear take over my sit, or my day. That's why right now, I'm understanding a little bit betterthe wisdom of all the great teachers, who counsel us to befriend these difficult states of mind.I'm noticing that befriending anger helps me to occasionally, see the pain underneath;that making friends with impatience helps me tosometimes, remember to take a breath;and that letting fear be a beloved companion points to one day,possibly, with plenty of practice, letting it go.

Imagine driving straight into the sunlight with a filthy windshield, struggling to see the road ahead. What hidden issues in our lives might be clouding our vision and preventing us from reflecting the grace and image of Christ? Join us as we navigate the profound teachings of Luke 17, where we confront the realities of temptation, forgiveness, and faith, challenging conventional perspectives and urging a deep introspection of our own spiritual journeys.We're diving into the heart of Jesus' teachings on the inevitability of temptation and the moral weight of guiding others astray. We explore the severe warnings against causing someone to stumble and the critical role of community responsibility. From the disciples' heartfelt request for increased faith to the call for mutual accountability, we examine how embracing these challenging teachings can foster personal and communal growth.Duty, service, and humility are woven into the fabric of our lives, yet often overlooked as extraordinary acts. We discuss how fulfilling our responsibilities aligns us with the essence of Jesus' message, transforming ordinary tasks into acts of grace. The unseen dynamics of forgiveness take center stage, as we highlight the importance of letting go of bitterness within personal and communal relationships. With a focus on grace and reconciliation, we invite you to reflect on those you may need to forgive, while drawing strength from prayer and community support.

Jesus deals with the "blind" Pharisees vs. dense disciples. Later, He asks the disciples who others think He is and then who they think He is.

Have you ever been on a mission? Maybe you've served in the military and have been sent on missions full of intense complexity. Maybe your mission has looked more like having to find the correct brand of almond milk from the grocery store. Either way, mission demands a certain mindset. A laser focus on what you set out to accomplish, and a passionate loyalty to see it through to the end. This attitude of mission is exactly what we as believers in Jesus are called to carry every day. The intensity is high because the stakes couldn't be higher. People every day are dying, separated from the One who can bring them hope and life. As the Church we are called to carry the powerful message of the Gospel, to make disciples, and to lovingly care for each other as we push one another on to see the mission accomplished. I will be honest with you... It's not an easy thing... But you were made for it! Join us this weekend to finish up our "Seeing Clearly" series with a deep look into the mission before us. - Pastor Ben Main Passage: Matthew 28:18-20 For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49299627
Have you ever heard the statement that Jesus talked about money more than any other topic in the Bible? This is commonly stated, but is not exactly true. Jesus did talk about money a lot, but He usually was not really talking about money. He was usually using money as a topic to take a look at a deeper heart issue. We all know that money can have a way of dominating our life. The stress of not being able to pay bills, buy the things we want, afford a lifestyle that is comfortable, or the constant desire to buy something new. We live in a country with a debt crisis at the national level and on the personal level. So what does God say about money? Come join us this weekend as we study how our outlook on finances can have a major impact on our relationship with Christ. Key Verse - 2 Corinthians 8:9 (ESV) - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

God is the designer of pure, intimate relationship. The character of the Triune Godhead reflects it, His closeness to Adam signifies it, the design of Eve reinforces it, and Jesus’ love for His bride, the Church, proves it. If close relationship is God’s character and design, let’s look at what He has to say about it! Key Verse - 'However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.'

"Mental health is a growing topic of discussion not only in our community and country, but around the world. Youth suicide rates are increasing, diagnoses of mental illness is increasing, and hopelessness is increasing. What is going on in our world? Is it a physical problem? Is it a spiritual problem? Is it both? This week we will be diving into a biblical view of mental health. We will briefly break down some of the physical components of mental health, and then take a dive into the spiritual foundation of having a healthy mind. I have gone down this road myself in my own battle with anxiety and depression. Through reading the book of Habakuk and great pastoral counseling I found peace in the Fear of the Lord, Faith, and Rejoicing in the trial. Come join us this week for a time of teaching, fellowship, and worship!" -Pastor Luke Key Passage - Habakuk 3:17-19: Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail, and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. (ESV) For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49290704

The correlation between the function of the gallbladder and liver and its effect on eyesight is explored in this podcast episode. The liver and gallbladder play a crucial role in the production of bile, which helps with fat metabolism and the transportation of estrogens. The eyes are heavily dependent on porphyrins, which are produced in the liver and bone marrow. Poor eyesight can be caused by staying up too late, having excess infections in the liver and gallbladder, and not consuming the proper nutrients for eye health. Structural issues in the upper neck can also affect eyesight. Emotional factors such as resentment, anger, and frustration can impact the liver and gallbladder and subsequently affect eyesight. The podcast provides recommendations for improving eyesight, including taking specific nutrients, cleansing the liver and gallbladder, and addressing emotional traumas. Takeaways The liver and gallbladder play a crucial role in eyesight by producing bile and porphyrins. Staying up too late, having infections in the liver and gallbladder, and not consuming the proper nutrients can negatively impact eyesight. Structural issues in the upper neck can affect blood flow to the brain and eyes, leading to poor eyesight. Emotional factors such as resentment and anger can impact the liver and gallbladder and subsequently affect eyesight. Improving eyesight involves taking specific nutrients, cleansing the liver and gallbladder, addressing emotional traumas, and doing eye exercises.

Imagine the eyes as cameras, where the cornea acts as the lens and the retina as the film. As with a camera, if something goes wrong in the eye, it needs to be fixed to address the specific problem and restore function. While some visual impairments can be corrected with glasses or surgery, some conditions require medicines – like those that slow or stop blood vessel growth in the eye. In this episode, co-host Danielle Mandikian joins guests Chris Brittain, Vice President and Global Head of Ophthalmology Product Development, and Dolly Chang, Group Medical Director, gRED Early Clinical Development, to explore the evolution of eye treatments, advancements in current solutions for vision loss, and their insights into the future of treating ocular diseases.
