What if the real battlefield isn’t the chaos around us, but the one in our minds?
We often find ourselves standing in the middle of spiritual crossfire... Feeling unprepared, overwhelmed, and anxious. But scripture reminds us that God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. We have the choice to put on the armor God has given us, pick up the weapons of truth and step forward not just to survive, but t...
In this episode, we talk honestly about those moments in life when God doesn’t seem to make sense. We’ve all faced times when our prayers seem unanswered and hope seems out of reach.
What is God thinking? Why doesn’t He intervene? Why does He sometimes seem silent?
Scripture tells us that God welcomes our questions.
Join us as we follow an old testament prophet who wasn’t afraid to ask God “why”. He wasn’t afraid to ask the hard qu...
In this episode, we’re talking about perceived truth vs. God’s truth. We are getting real about the voices in our heads. The ones that tell us we’re not enough, unworthy, or unqualified, and we are bringing them face to face with the voice of truth.
Together, we’ll unpack how manipulative lies sneak into our thinking and attempt to shape our identity. God’s Word calls us out of that pit and into freedom! He never intended for us to...
The truth is: Your life is not random… Your days have been ordained. Written with intention, purpose and promise!
In this episode, we will dive into Psalm 139 and other powerful scriptures that remind us we are fully known, deeply loved, and specifically designed for MORE.
Let's explore how even our ordinary and imperfect days are woven into a greater story authored by God Himself. Let this message anchor you in your identity and d...
Welcome to part one of MADE FOR MORE. We're going to open up about the hidden struggles we often carry:
- The pressure to perform.
- The fear of rejection.
- The ache of unmet dreams.
- The exhaustion of constantly trying to be “enough."
Maybe you’re carrying the weight of your past or silently battling insecurity. Maybe the shame, the need to prove yourself, or the fear of never measuring up is louder than the truth God speaks ...
Ever felt like the name you carry, out loud or just in your heart, doesn’t match who God says you are? Let's explore what it means to be seen, named, and fully known by God. A simple coffee shop moment will take us into a deeper conversation about identity, grace, and the beautiful reminder from Acts 10:15: “Do not call anything unclean that God has made clean.” Through scripture, storytelling, and a different perspective on pray...
If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you from living in freedom or being used by God, this episode is for you.
Join us as we discuss the extraordinary, deeply moving story of the life of Mary Magdalene. We will examine what scripture tells us about her encounter with Jesus and the beautiful transformation that took place from that moment forward. We reflect on the pain, shame, and spiritual battles she must have e...
Shame can feel overwhelming, making us believe we are unworthy of love or too broken to be redeemed. But Jesus sees us in our pain and meets us with endless compassion. He didn’t come to condemn but to restore, offering forgiveness and grace no matter our past. The enemy tries to whisper lies—that we are too far gone, that God could never truly love us. But the truth is, Jesus calls us beloved, redeemed, and made new. In Him, shame...
Rejection is a lie from the enemy, designed to deceive us into doubting our worth and purpose. But when we understand our true identity in Christ, we realize that we are loved, chosen, and accepted by the Creator of the universe. This truth fills the void in our hearts, replacing the emptiness of rejection with the fullness of God's unconditional love and affirmation. Knowing who we are in Christ silences the lies of the enemy and ...
Do you feel hopeful or anxious about the new year? While it can be exciting to think of future opportunities, it can also seem overwhelming. The truth is, you are created in the image of the One who gave everything so you can be free. But do we live like we believe it?

In this episode, we take the call of stepping into our “next” one step further. We’re going to talk about the power of purpose-driven action and remind ourselves that our unique gifts are not just for our benefit. They carry the potential to impact generations.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
