In Acts 4:23-31, the early disciples showed incredible confidence in prayer, transforming from fearful cowards to bold ambassadors for the Gospel.
They praised God in the middle of serious opposition, and were able to reconcile as suffering is part of Gods plan. But how did this happen?
How did these scaredy-cat fishermen turn into fearless preachers? How can we be less afraid of what people think about us and live the lives that God has designed for us?
In this pod, Esther explains that the secret to living bold & unashamed is in letting the Holy Spirit rip in our lives.

Ever felt like you had to be a shapeshifter to fit into your church community? Like you had to be a version of yourself to really be accepted? Like, you want to belong but you're left thinking, "how real can i really be here"?
In this pod Will talks about why honesty is hard, why showing up as yourself is super important and how Psalm 139 has some good advice for doing both of these things in a healthy way.

Ever come to a big crossroads in your life and you need some divine direction? But when you pray or ask for Gods help He seems silent or absent? It can be frustrating. And a bit scary.You're not alone. Way back in the Old Testament the Israelites faced a similar situation. After having God show up in spectacular ways in the wilderness, He starts leading & speaking to them differently as they get towards their final destination. And that meant that they had to start cooperating with Him in new ways.In this pod well discuss: How God doesn't change but the way He leads us does. How we can make great decisions when we can't "hear" God like we used to. How God pulls us forward from a future perspective & how we can cooperate with His promises today for a better tomorrow.Gods Direction In The Desert Daily providing food through miracles (Manna) & water.(Exodus 16:12-15, Exodus 15:25) Daily direction through supernatural signs (Exodus 13:21) Gives them the law (Exodus 5:6-21) Supernatural deliverance from Pharoah (Red Sea) Exodus 14 Provided shoes & clothes that never wore out(Deuteronomy 29:5) Hand to mouth survival (Exodus 16)Gods Direction in The Promised Land Overcoming enemies and taking what God promised them (Joshua 11) Moves them to a “good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 3:8) Gods direction then defeating their enemies with a plan of action (Joshua 11) Teaches them to govern & establish society (Joshua 13—21). “For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.” Exodus 23:31 Building wealth & farming. Ownership & expansion.

Christianity is full of some incredibly bold claims that mess with the boundaries of physics and science.
The Creation Story, the Flood, the Virgin Birth are all great examples of important Christian Landmarks of the faith that mess with our rational minds.
But right at the top of this list is the Resurrection account. Its carried in all four gospels and is central to the Christian Faith. Without the resurrection, there is no risen Jesus. Without the risen Jesus there is no legit claim to have conquered death. Without Christ's resurrection we would have no salvation from sin, and no hope for our own future resurrection. And without the resurrection of Jesus, there would be no Christian faith
Kicking off in John 20, we'll look at 7 significant factors to consider as we figure out the believability of the Bibles Resurrection account:
- The Empty Grave
- The Folded Grave clothes
- The Holy Women Witnesses
- The Change In The Disciples Behaviour (especially Peter)
- The Changes Lives Of James (Jesus Brother) & Others
- The Public Appearances Of Jesus After His Resurrection
- The Conversion Of Paul
Let us know what YOU think! :)

Have you ever levelled up in your life? You got a promotion, a new relationship, a great opportunity.
You're buzzing, you're excited, this is GREAT!
BUT you know that if you tell certain people, they're NOT gonna be happy for you.
Their invested in the way you USED to be & your new blessing is gonna be a problem for them.
Instead of being happy to share your great news, you're left wondering how you can keep it on the downlow, so they won't get upset.
Do you disrupt a relationship for something you know will be better?
Or do you forget about your new thing and do things the old way?
In Luke 6, we read of two examples of Jesus messes with religious tradition to help people in trouble.
The Pharisees, the religious rulers & community leaders & people with most invested in the religious tradition, were ticked.
And they wanted to kill Jesus, for messing with their traditions.
Wow.
In this pod, we talk about the importance of resistance & holy disruption in Jesus's life (and our lives too)
We’ll look at great disruptors in church history - Martin Luther, Harriet Tubman, John Wesley, Martin Luther King Jr & Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
And ask the question - What traditions should we remove, replace or recycle to help people connect with Jesus in a life giving way?
And if you're wondering whose permission you need to do this kind of thing, the answer is simple:
If Jesus is messing with it, it's fair game.

In this pod, Dan Belshaw (Pastor of Light Church) discusses the theme of doubt in the Christian life, using Matthew 14:22-33 as the biblical passage for the talk. Doubts can paralyze us and Christians are not immune to them. But it doesn't have to be like that.
Dan offers some perspective on making conviction-based decisions and committing to decision-making rooted in God's word. He says that doubts are not inherently bad, & can reveal areas in which our faith needs strengthening and are a mint opportunity to take them to Jesus who can give us HIS perspective.

In this pod, we talk about making money, the Holy Hustle, and the dangers of relying on "Jesus Take The Wheel" as a career plan. We look at the parable of the shrewd manager in Luke 16 and explain that Jesus is teaching us to be shrewd and make the most of opportunities to buy ourselves influence. Understanding God's will, which is built on a relationship of love and trust, will help us learn to take agency and make a difference in people's lives through the gifts and opportunities God gives us. To be shrewd like the manager, we must learn to map out scenarios & potential outcomes, access skill-building, an adding smart friends to our lives and pushing into what He is blessing.
God wants to increase your sphere of influence because He wants to save and help people come into His Kingdom. He wants to make you an example of His grace so that when people see you they think, "how did she do that?" and it will cause them to wonder & reach out to God for themselves.
In this pod, Esther talks about a guy in the Bible called Zacchaeus, who was proper desperate to see Jesus & find out what He was really like for himself. In the Bible story in Matthew 25, Jesus honours and respects his curiosity with a life changing opportunity. Esther explains that whatever questions or curiosity we have about Jesus, He will always respect and honour our questions too. The strength of our relationship with Jesus depends on our curiosity to know more about Him.
Have you ever done something you felt you "should" do but didn't really WANT to do? Have you ever worked a job, had a relationship or even went to a church that you felt you "should" commit to, but something inside was like "Nah!" This is an example of what psychologists call coginitive dissonance- when our behaviour is inconsistent with our thoughts and beliefs. It can feel like we're in stress & anxiety when we live like this. Pete & Matt talk about some helpful practical ways we can work through cognitive dissonance without blowing our lives up...

After getting robbed at gun point as a teenager, I held a serious grudge against my attacker for 18 years.
This bottled up & unresolved anger made me feisty, defensive and cost me relationships. And almost cost me my job.
In this Pod, we'll talk about why Jesus says forgiveness is important and try to answer to top ten most asked questions on forgiveness.
And why we all need a friend like my friend Mike...

Great human relationships are incredible. They can have a synergistic effect. We become greater than the some of our parts. We can heal and become resilient in community. We can have our deepest emotional needs met through friendship and intimacy. We can find strength and purpose when we find our tribe.We often wrestle with wanting to belong to a tribe, a group or family, which is a healthy & legitimate need and actually FINDING these kind of healthy relationships in the first place.So how do we find them? What are healthy relationships? How do we choose friends & relationships that are good for us? How do we out grow unhealthy ones? And how do have healthy boundaries & say no to toxic ones?Lets look at what Jesus said and did, together with a model called the circles of trust ,to help us make great decisions in our relationships for 2023 & beyond.Youtube ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/kingdomcompanychurch Instagram 📱 https://www.instagram.com/kingdom_company_ https://www.instagram.com/MatthewJamesHooper https://www.instagram.com/ClareHooper Facebook 😀 📘 https://www.facebook.com/kingdomcompanychurch Website https://kingdomcompany.co/
Jesus is a problem solver, He’s not afraid of our future. He is solutions orientated. When we obey Jesus commands and build on His promises, we can overcome challenges & make them become opportunities. We can learn to innovate with creativity and resilience. We can face the future with Hope because Jesus is future proof.

"We all quit!" (Sorry for the inconvenience) In July 2020, a post from Burger King employees in Nebraska went VIRAL as news outlets reported at least 7 of the 11 employees at a Lincoln branch quit at the same time.

Stories of short staffing, financial pressures, managerial turnover and "hectic" work conditions seemed to resonate with people all over the world.
What we all want and expect from work & career has changed massively over the last two years and jobs that didn't exist a couple of years back have become real career opportunities. Rising food and fuel prices have meant that most of us are the feeling the squeeze RN. In this pod, we discuss the effects this new economic reality has had on us as a family, what we've learnt from the stage of life we've just left behind & the new skills were learning for the future...

In this podcast we ask TWO important leadership questions
-
Who’s permission are you waiting for to do what you know God is asking you to do?
-
What if permission from that person NEVER COMES? We talk about Bible book of Esther, the story of a woman who saved a nation, who leveraged her powerful position on behalf of others but who DEFINITELY had to challenge power structures & protocols to do it!

In this Podcast Matt and Clare discuss values, why we need them, how we wrote them and why it's hard to do church without them. We chat about our fears around collaboration and how this became the best thing we did. A vision statement describes what the church will become in the future whereas values define how people in the church should behave. It provides a guideline for decision making. We wrote our values together after months of discussion and here's the outcome

We hope this helps you build a church and life you are proud of helping others find and follow Jesus

We keep hearing this myth "DIGITAL CHURCH ISN'T REAL COMMUNITY THOUGH, RIGHT?"
In this episode we talk freely about our POV on hybrid church, what we love what we are disappointed about. How our son going to university made us realise this is the end of some things. We chat around making real friends on social media, are they true friends?
Why it would be beneficial to ditch vanity metrics, and toxic competitive church habits & painful endings.
We also circle around ... "Are you worried about What's left over?"
"What even is a church anymore?"
"What's the point of me going to church anymore?" OR secretly saying
"Help, I don't actually want to go back to church after lockdown" "I'm disappointed with my church, I want to try somewhere new". Our conclusion is THE FUTURE CHURCH needs to be an active learning environment creating transformational followers, the focus for a long time has been about leadership and developing leaders. Church has an opportunity to develop transformational follower-ship in a post COVID culture, live out the great commission and walk alongside people.
THE FUTURE CHURCH is hybrid, COVID-19 has levelled us and we need to rebuild with new methods. Could it be our digital presence is a modern day 'spire' , when people were in trouble & looking for answers to the big question in life they would know where to go because the spire would stand proud. If you don't show on social media how will people still know where to go? let us know what you think or what your experience of church RN is in the comments

We recorded a brief discussion on the COVID-19 outbreak together with a hopeful look at the future & how we can lean into the perfect wisdom of the Holy Spirit to help us through these challenging times 💛
What a year! SO much has happened! SO much has changed! In this episode we look back at the life changes that 2019 • the importance of REAL friends• the end of empire & the rise of kingdom•self-discovery & leading from wholeness•saying goodbye to good for best•what got you here won’t get you there•
Heathy teams are not driven by “to do” lists or transactional relationships.
They’re fuelled by a love for each other and a shared goal.
In this episode we talk about building healthy teams that get stuff done and still have fun
On the podcast today we discuss how to create a leadership culture at Kingdom Company, where EVERYONE wins!
Common leadership models are built around many people serving one persons vision of the future. But Jesus has already given us HIS vision and we are ALL on CO-MISSION with Him.
In this episode we ask ourselves:
• What’s the purpose of Sunday church?
• What makes healthy leadership culture?
• How do we create life giving systems. How we can we avoid micro management but still get great results
• How can we lead collaboratively?
And How do we avoid the top down hierarchy that drives us crazy?
In this episode we talk about finding your people, who you really are & what you’re made for!
We took a big leap into the unknown in 2018 by leaving regular jobs & regular income to start building Kingdom Company. In this episode we talk about how & why we made the leap in the first place: We talk about: ✔️Processing grief anger & regret. ✔️Making new friends. ✔️Celebrating the good times ✔️Finding the energy to build a faith community again.
Kingdom Company is a brand new church based in the Northern Quarter of Manchester, UK, launching in spring 2020. In this episode we’re gonna talk about who we are, how we got here and the kind of church we’re becoming
