The world is hungry for good character (how we behave when no one is looking). Let's build this by being authentic, honest and pure, and develop our gifting by showing courage and exercising our 'faith muscles'. In turn let's give away from the goodness of what we have, to bless others.

Al considers what Paul expresses in 1 Thessalonians 5 about how we should relate to people around us, particularly those in authority in both secular and church environments.

Al explains the power of our story in communicating God's love to others, and how living the good news is better than "preaching" it.

What was really important to Jesus? What was His ministry really built around? And what was His legacy?

Al talks about courageous optimism, generous creativity and heartfelt compassion in the context of (our response to COVID and) our all-powerful Father God who made the Cosmos.

Al explains that as we come to understand our value in God's eyes, we can be truly empowered and find our place of ministry in the communities of which we are a member.

Al encourages us to become life-catchers, to identify what our individual story is and learn to share it succinctly.

Al draws several themes from David's time as King and applies them to our lives today. This deeply flawed man brought purpose to his own life and to the Nation, and radiated power. But at the same time he showed humility and utter passion in serving God, even when it made him look silly.

Al recounts how God took Gideon from a place of being paralysed by fear to walking in faith, and encourages us to stir up the gifts He built into us from the earliest days of our lives.

Jesus said He is the Light of the World - but in Matthew 5 He also says that WE are the Light of the World. Al considers what this means: how do we bring light, and also how do we find the 'song of our soul'?
