Simon Warrick speaks on the tendency humans have to categorise our lives into different boxes. He challenges us to not hide away our box of treasured God moments, never to be seen or spoken about outside the safe world of fellow believers. The things God does in our lives, those often transformational moments are meant to be shared with the world to reveal God’s love and grace to a hurting world.

It was a privilege to hear from Paul and Amanda as they shared their testimony of God’s goodness during a tumultuous season of their lives. What an inspiration their story is!
They lived the following scripture: James 1:2-4 MSG ‘Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colours. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work, so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.’
