Youier!

Remember the season of pause and preparation we explored together back in April? The wait is over! It's time to step forward with God into whatever dreams and aspirations He's nudging you about. In today's episode we start exploring what that might look like plus a bit of encouragement that you never have to play on your own. When you're ready, come and share your nudges in the Playground.

In today's episode, we're digging into three words that have historically been very popular in the church, where the words have come from and, most importantly, what God reveals about Himself to us in the bible.

Today's episode expands on what we started thinking about in today's Holy Spirit Love Note but it feels so crucial, I felt God nudging me to dig into it a bit more - and this episode was born! It's time to unpack what we mean by "God loves me". It's time to make it personal and really let God love us! And, yes, some of this is going to take "work" and conversation and community, which is where the Itchy Soul Playground comes in of course. Because you were never designed to try and play...

Expanding on what we started exploring in today's Holy Spirit Love Note in the Playground, this episode is, as the title suggests, all about relationship! How the study of eschatology (end time stuff!) and salvation are NOT about figuring stuff out for the sake of winning a theological argument but are instead all about deepening your relationship with your Heavenly Papa. And, as ever, if you enjoy this conversation starter, you're probably going to LOVE it in the Itchy Soul Playground....

In today's episode, we're exploring the idea of God's best for your day to day life. Quite candidly, I recorded this episode a couple of weeks ago but then Holy Spirit nudged me to share something else and this one sat as "spare" for a time. Well, today is the day! And it comes with a little bit of homework which you'll hear about at around four minutes in. (Don't worry though, it's fun!) When you've had a play, share what you come up with in the Playground. I can't wait to hear all about...

If it wasn't for today's Holy Spirit Love Note, I almost certainly would have chickened out in sharing what I share in this episode but, having felt that reassurance that it's okay to start this conversation, today we're digging into the amazingness of God's love! And yes, this is another conversation starter so if you're not already a member of the Itchy Soul Playground and you'd enjoy chatting about this in our safe space here's where you can find out more and join us: ItchySoul.co ---...

Today’s episode is for those times when you find yourself paralysed by too many options, trapped in a never-ending loop of “what ifs”.

Today’s episode is an extension of the Holy Spirit Love Note from today, exploring how we move forward while we’re still figuring stuff out. Spoiler alert: The answer is love!

During a season of learning and growth, it can be challenging to juggle different teachings. This is never truer than when it comes to juggling the teaching within the church. It seems there’s a reason we have sooo many different Christian denominations! Covid19 has been a time of learning for me personally so I asked God about these seeming contradictions ...

The latter is a reminder of how God has wired your brain to help make loving more doable, one action at a time. Think of this as an ...

Today’s episode is inspired by Hebrews 6:11+12 where we read that the writer doesn’t want his readers to become lazy while being patient. This struck me as a bit of a funny pairing and led to what we’re exploring today … active patience. After you’ve listened and sat with God to hear what He has for you to take from ...
