How do we actually release our ashes, and our mourning? How do we actually receive His beauty and joy?
In all the grief of our time, the unresolvable, the pain, the battles... Paul brings us back to the real reason we are here.

We can analyse whether our priorities and life choices are 'good' or 'bad'... but how about a deeper question? 'Is this above Jesus or under Him?'
‘The question isn’t whether Jesus is LORD of all the earth or not. The question is: ‘To what extent do we recognise Him as Lord of all the earth, which includes Lord of YOU?’

‘trust doesnt take time, trust must be BUILT which takes effort, vulnerability, honesty and sacrifice’

What will it take to encounter God ways you never have before? If we want to see things we have never seen before, we can't do the same things we've always done... Will we go with Him to the other side?

How do we get through this year? How do we find peace in the windstorm? Can we make it to the other side?

Why does disappointment not stay in the past?

Adam continues the series of the Spirit of Sonship, sharing about the way in which this heart and spirit is the key to a meaningful, satisfying life.

Ever felt terrified of getting things wrong in life?
Maybe it's time to end the struggle to 'stay off God's naughty list' or 'get in His good books'. Adam shares that, because of Jesus, we're already right with Him. So... now what do we do?
Do you hide your differences, or show them off?
Adam shares, in the next part of the Ambassadors series, how your difference may be key for your life and future, and of those all around you. How do we learn to stop hiding, and begin to celebrate the unique qualities we have within us?

Ever held yourself up to high standards, and felt down when you didn't hit your own mark?
Good news: You can be human, and STILL be His Ambassador. You can be reconciled to Him, to the real you, and reconcile others. Adam shares on the challenge of learning to operate in that identity.
Adam speaks into who you really are.

Isaac, one of Paul's spiritual sons, shares a testimony at the beginning of the podcast. After spending time together recently, Paul then shares some keys from their conversations that will challenge and encourage us. Our calling is not just success, but succession.

Paul asks some big questions of our big futures, but it starts with a step. Will we take it?

Is God a gambler?
We sometimes think we have to make the right combination of 'divine decisions' to get God's favour and our future. Maybe God isn't trying to make things difficult for us though...
Adam explores how we listen out for His instructions, things that stop us following them, and one man who could have got his breakthrough much quicker than he did.

Following Paul's word 'The Naked God', Adam explores the beautiful truth; we can be fully known, and fully loved.

Adam explores the key to transformation, and it all starts with something we DO have a choice in.

Paul shares a powerful life on the events that began on Good Friday, but also those that happened before the foundation of the world was laid.
Adam shares the next part in the series about honour that began on Mother's Day. You can have doors open and favour flow like never before, but the key is not quite the 'get rich quick' scheme that we like to hear...

Inspired by elements of Paul's dream (shared last week), Adam shares from the old poem often told about weddings: 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue'... Maybe it's time those things we borrow, we start to own for ourselves.
