Parenting Hack: Send Your Kids on Secret Missions
By: Kit Densley I love the weather in autumn, cooler evenings and a freshness to the mornings but still plenty of sun to be enjoyed. Except for when it’s raining!

Let me introduce you to “Secret Missions”.
How to Get a Healthy Meal on the Table When You Are a Busy Parent
By: Susan Joy Most of us are eager to have our family eat healthily but occasionally we may stumble.

With the past year presenting unprecedented threats and challenges to society, recent measures have seen public trust in major institutions plummet to all-time lows.

By: Michael Crooks Bill Gates is excited by it. Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks has reportedly made millions from it. And, now, the world’s richest man has endorsed it.

Bringing a Friend to Jesus
By: Dr Eliezer Gonzalez A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralysed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.
3 Reasons to Fight Fear
By: Sabrina Peters It’s so easy to let fear dictate your life. I know, because so often I find myself doing just that. I let the fear of failure stop me from stepping out. I let the fear of man control my self-esteem. I let the fear of an unknown future paralyse me from enjoying the present. Fear is our default, but it doesn’t have to be, not when the God of the universe is in our corner. The Bible tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of peace, of love and of a sound mind.
‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ Starring Emily Blunt: Should Some Dreams Have an End Date?
By: Laura Bennett As any frequenter of romantic movies will know, sometimes they’re just plain exhausting. Entire plot lines could be resolved if only they had one clear conversation and stopped nannying about. Wild Mountain Thyme has drama, but it’s set against lush Irish landscapes and includes thick Irish accents and rollicking folk songs, that happily make it all entirely watchable.
The Artist Spotlight with Darren Mulligan from We Are Messengers
By: Rhema 99.7 We spoke with Darren Mulligan about what life is looking like for him at the moment! How is life different for We Are Messengers at this point in time? It’s so strange. We were making so many plans, getting ready to come down under and then this came out of the blue. Initially I was shocked, I didn’t know what to do with myself. So I started doing DIY projects. Then all our tours started getting cancelled and then I started to worry about what’s going to happen tomorrow.
Being a Christian in Hollywood
By Gabriel Garcia Hollywood is a lot of things. It can be inspirational, it can be wonderful, it can tragic and it can be downright dirty. Above all, it is complex. It’s not unusual to hear religious leaders condemn Hollywood, and the entertainment industry as a whole, for a wide range of offenses. However, the fact is that within Hollywood there are many people of faith who are able to work comfortably. Jonathan Jackson is one such actor.
Australia, the competent country
As the rest of the world struggles, Australia is leading the world in its Covid response This week the Australian Open has kicked off in Melbourne. The first of the big grand slams on the tennis calendar, the Australian Open takes on a new significance this year.

200 Millions Views: BibleProject Founders Captivating World

Fear is a Liar - 1079 Life
By: Danni Synot You cannot conquer what you will not confront. “Will not”? What do you mean “will not”! Thoughts began to race through my brain, trying to make sense of what I’d just read. I was challenged and almost offended by the insinuation that seemed to suggest that my debilitating anxiety was a choice. I wouldn’t wish this monster on my worst enemy. Daily heart palpitations and sensations of impending death.

Pandemics, Plans and Expectations
By: Steve Grace Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. — Isaiah 43:18-19 There is an emotional fatigue that we all have experienced as we head into the last months of 2020. It has been a difficult year, one we could not have imagined… and yet here we are still believing things may one day get back to some sense of ‘normal’.

By: Laura Bennett As the weather heats up it’s only right we start thinking about our next visit to the beach and how often we can visit the local pool.

Hillsong’s Robert Fergusson on How to Let God Speak Through Your Life Story
By: Laura Bennett Storytelling is one the oldest forms of communication there is. From ancient oral histories that inform cultural identities to the narratives of the Bible that form the backbone to our Christian faith, stories are a powerful conduit for meaning and belief.

Jesus Had Dinner with Sinners
By: Dr Eliezer Gonzalez While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.”
I recently had the chance to talk to Pr. Scott Sharrock regarding the strange times that we find ourselves on the verge of re-entering. In times of difficulty and uncertainty, it’s easy to find ourselves questioning God. Why is it that bad things happen to good people? What do we do when we find ourselves pushed up against the rocks? How should we respond to situations that have become dire through no fault of our own?
