Have you ever told a lie? Say you haven’t… maybe you’re lying. Research suggests that in one day, the average person lies four times, totalling 1,460 lies each year! Perhaps we should simply tell the truth… and in lots of ways that is great advice and completely accurate. However, if it were that easy, then why don’t we do it? It isn’t enough just to know what the right thing is to do.

Our tongues can be weapons of mass destruction! Words can start wars; words can destroy families. Our tongues direct, destroy and display our life. How can we tame our tongues, and how can we be slow to speak yet quick to understand?

Poor mental health affects millions of people around the world. With health services stretched to breaking point, what is it actually like out there in regard to both the situation and the provision? How does faith in God intersect with our mental health and what can a community of faith do to respond and bring hope?
—Panel: Leon & Allison Evans & Mags Courts.
Ever wonder why we should trust God? Trust is something the Bible consistently encourages us to do, but some would say is hugely missing in today's society. Can we learn to trust God through the challenges of life? Trust starts when we turn towards Him.

In this episode of The Lifecentral Podcast, Debs sits down with Karina, Ethan and Andy in the third part of our series “Weird things that Christians do”. This final part focusses on Hearing from God and Serving others. We discuss how God is not only in the big occasions but the small ones too, some of the ways God has spoken to us and the tools we can utilise to ‘tune in’ to what God might be saying. We also look at what it means t...
Why does more never seem to be enough? The problem is not the stuff, the holiday or the hobby... but our appetite.
—Speaker: Gareth Blount
Why is change so hard? Why is anything worth having hard? At what point do we start believing the lies that tell us we can’t change?
- Speaker: Jayne Sargeant
When it comes to faith, everybody doubts —even atheists doubt! But if you remove doubt or uncertainty, there is no need for faith and trust - then what do you have? We need to realise that doubt can be a door into greater faith.

What view do you have of Jesus today? Some have no frame of reference —He's just a myth, a fairy tale, a legend or a good man. For some Jesus is a childhood reference, for others He represents a bad experience of church —boring, dull and irrelevant. For many of us though - we believe that Jesus is alive! For many of you this may seem unbelievable, but we believe it's "unbelievably believable!"
Speaker: Leon Evans
Ever Wonder Why People Get Baptised? People get baptised because they want to obey and follow Jesus —but also want to declare publicly what’s happened to them on the inside —what's inside moves to the outside!

When you think about it, gathering in a building to all sing songs shown up on the screen is a little like karaoke. Then we all get given a little snack and we’re told it’s Jesus’ body and blood (urgh!). Join us for episode 2 of weird things that Christians do as we unpack what worship is all about and try to explain in an easy-to-understand way what communion is. This week’s contributors are Stuart Blount, Dan Murphy and Bola Olag...
“The only person that could help was Jesus.”
We sat down with Lauren Jeon to hear her amazing story of how Jesus met her in the midst of severe sleep paralysis.
What makes us feel like something is meaningful? What gives something meaning and purpose? When do we feel like what we are doing matters? Purpose is much less about the 'what' and much more about the 'why'. Today, God doesn’t want you just to live a life of survival or even a life of success —but a life of purpose, a life of significance.
Speaker: Jayne Sargeant
Family is complicated and unique, but as different as our families and our family situations are, there is something that is true for everyone, even if you have no belief in God at all.
Speaker: Laura Hancock
‘God is good (all the time) and all the time (God is good)’ - Ever doubted that? There is so much evil, suffering and pain in the world… Children, wars, famine, disasters; then the really big things - pot holes, middle lane drivers, roadworks, no WIFI! It's funny how many don’t believe there is a God, but when asked why, they say it's because of all the evil, suffering and pain in the world; blaming the one they say doesn’t exist! ...
We can all agree that our world is full of problems. Sometimes a problem can be solved really easily... for instance, a leak in the bathroom - You find the leak, fix it, problem solved. Problems are binary - but our world isn’t. We think our world is full of problems, but it’s actually full of tensions.
