    Is Depression Ever Demonic? (Q&A)
    Oct 27 2020
    Is Depression a Demonic Oppression or not?
    Is depression always a natural healing process or can it sometimes be a demonic oppression which needs deliverance?
    Join me as I tackle this question, decades of church theology around mental health, and the emerging scientific research that could shape the new way we handle depression within the church.
    What do you think?
    Do you think Depression is a natural healing process leading to freedom, or a demonic oppression?

  • Boundaries: Who Knew? (Matt & SJ)

    Boundaries: Who Knew? (Matt & SJ)
    Oct 20 2020
    In this episode I'd love to share the book that changed my life, "Boundaries" by Cloud and Townsend, and why it was so revolutionary.
    I call it the freedom book, because it has given me full permission, in every practical and spiritual facet, to stop living and accepting stress from other people and craft a life that brings me peace.
    I literally never knew I could be THAT free, and it feel amazing. My life has become a very peaceful place and I will be eternally grateful for their message.

    Oct 20 2020
    Do you avoid unpleasant emotions?
    Do you feel ashamed when you have strong emotions?
    Most people are in chronic, life-learnt patterns of avoidance, doing anything other than slowing down and letting their emotions come to the surface.

  • How are God & Creativity Connected? (Q&A)

    How are God & Creativity Connected? (Q&A)
    Oct 20 2020
    Drumroll please🥁 ... it’s the first:
    ⭐️ Q&A with SJ ⭐️
    I am not the definitive word on anything, but as a creative business owner, I loved this question about how God and creativity connect and communicate through business?
    These are my thoughts as I’ve grown my own creative business (wedding photography: Sarah-Jane Ethan Photography ) and who I know God to be.
    I like to make the concept of creativity really normal, accessible and even non-arts based.
    I believe creativity is at the heart of us all and ultimately at the heart of all fulfilling work.
    Q: Does your current work fill you with vision and drive to create something of ease and beauty?
    Q: Is it time to get out of a soul-less job that doesnt inspire or allow you to be creative?
    Q: What is the creativity God has placed within you that makes you feel alive to express?

  • Living In Denial

    Living In Denial
    Oct 8 2020
    Denial of the present is simply a dislike of yourself and your current reality so strong you struggle to slow down and rest in the present moment.
    The present moment is just not a place you like too much, you’d rather ignore it or try and run from it, and from yourself.
    But the stress of fighting your own story is the very thing which will exhaust you and stop you connecting with the present of God.
