Love Encompassed by Wisdom

Love Encompassed by Wisdom

Proverbs 17:18

A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge, And becomes surety for his friend. (NKJV)


Surety: a person who takes responsibility for another's performance of an undertaking, for example their appearing in court or paying a debt.

How far does love go? And where does the boundary between being wise and going all in in love start (and end). In today's episode, we discuss the above passage and the dilemma between being 'wise' and demonstrating love.

The Language of Building

The Language of Building

Galatians 6:2

'Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.'


It's easier said that done but one of the ways we can incorporate this is by utilising the language of building. What's this?... Listen to find out :)

Living Under Expectations

Living Under Expectations

It's hard to break free of the mould that's called expectations. We live a life where we want others, especially those we love, to approve of us and inadvertently try to 'earn' that love through conforming. In this episode, we discuss living under expectations, what that means for us, and if there are any benefits to breaking free of those expectations.


Scripture Meditation: 1 Corinthians 7:23

'You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.'

Erm...Let's Talk: Reconciliation

Erm...Let's Talk: Reconciliation

In this episode, I'm in my feelings! So..., let's talk! I don't know about you but, reconciliation is that elephant in the room. Do I have to reconcile with you when you hurt me or is my reluctance to reconcile showing a hint of unforgiveness underneath? I don't know, man. Reconciliation is one of those ones but, in this episode, we attempt to discuss and come to grips with it (were we successful?).

Pearls and Swine

Pearls and Swine

Too many times we over-extend ourselves for people who do not add to us, or are incapable of adding to us. How many times have you gone above and beyond for someone only to receive little to no appreciation? In this episode, we discuss casting our pearls before swine, what that means and what Jesus had to say about it.

Consistency...?

Consistency...?

Consistency, the C-letter word... *sigh*. For me, personally, consistency is something that I've struggled a lot with. I've found that it's always easy to start something and come up with new ideas but, it's never easy to see it through to the end. Relate? Join in and have a listen!

What's Your Lane?

What's Your Lane?

Have you ever felt unappreciated, unseen, like your work is non-existent? In this episode we discuss finding your audience and coming to terms with the fact that at times, those we love and cherish are not the ones we should be looking to to champion our endeavours. This is a small tip of the iceberg... for more, visit us at www.ishinealight.com.
