Joseph: Week 1 - A Flawed Family - Lee-Ann Maughan

Ever feel like your family dynamic is a bit of a mess? You are in good company. In this opening episode of our new series, Joseph, Lee-Ann dives into the chaotic, highly flawed family history of one of the Bible's most famous figures. From glaring parental favouritism and a flashy robe of many colours to sibling jealousy that spirals into pure hatred, Joseph’s story starts in a place of deep dysfunction. Yet, wrapped right in the middle of these intense family rivalries and delayed dreams are the profound promises of God working all things together for good. Tune in to discover how God can take our most messy, complicated realities and shape them into a beautiful, historic purpose that has multitudes in mind.

When you pray: Week 4 - Rejoice - Paul Maughan

In our latest episode, we dive into the powerful, life-giving practice of Rejoicing as we walk through the opening movements of the Lord’s Prayer: “Hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done.” Drawing on both timeless scripture and fascinating neuroscience, which reveals that our brain’s "joy centre" never loses its capacity to grow, this message reminds us that we were intricately wired to anchor our emotional and spiritual resilience in the continuous, soul-exhilarating joy of God. Instead of settling for a quiet, dutiful faith, we are challenged to actively expand our capacity for joy through highly practical rhythms like speaking truth to our own souls, praying the Psalms, and discovering our own unique style of worship. It’s an inspiring call to move past silent compliance and step into the vibrant praise we were created for; and as always, you can explore all our series resources at www.cgseapoint.co.za/when-you-pray [www.cgseapoint.co.za/when-you-pray]

When you pray: Week 3 - Pause - Paul Maughan

In a world consumed by anxious toil and a relentless culture of hurry, our latest podcast episode invites you to hit pause and realign your heart with what matters most. Grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 127, Paul challenges us to transition from competing with God to truly worshipping Him, revealing that the ultimate destination of our spiritual journey is not just a distant heaven, but intimate communion with the Father. By confronting the five critical questions to eliminate hurry, this message serves as a practical, unhurried guide to transforming your daily blocks of time into meaningful moments of prayer, rest, and surrender. It is a compelling call to step away from panic and empty performance, and instead step into a life of deep, purposeful connection.
