When Dreams Break

Cosmic Curiosity

“Science gives us this information of what things are, how they come tobe, but it doesn’t explain why the universe was created and that’s whereI find faith fills the gap.” Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered how everything came to be? Is all just a random series of events or is there really a Creator behind it all? Trained astrophysicist, Ben Ridley, shares his understanding of how faith and the cosmos have a distinct relationship and how it can help us understand the universe from a Christian perspective.

Alone

“I think that all of us move into and out of loneliness. Some people tragically find themselves all alone. None of us were meant for that.” We may be surrounded by people, but if we don’t feel known by them, it can seem that we don’t even exist. Loneliness often stems from a feeling of not being known. So how can we overcome isolation and restore connection? James Winderlich shares that we were created for community and how to find connection to break through loneliness.

Good Work

“Many of us spend more waking hours with people at work, our colleagues, than we do with our family” We often separate our work from our personal life and even our spiritual lives. But with so much of our time spent at work, could our faith have a lasting impact on the job? Craig and Susan from ‘Engage Work Faith’ explore the vital role our faith has in the workplace.

I Don't Agree

What do you do when someone you love has a different opinion than yours? Do you keep quiet, aggressively push back, or just avoid ‘those’ conversations? Why do we feel awkward when someone believes something different to us? Celia and Ali discuss how we maintain relationships with people who have different values orcore beliefs.

Support in financial hard times

“If I look back over my life, what would I choose to do if I could start again?  I could have been a doctor, I could have been a nurse, I could have been a teacher. But I look back and go, no, financial counselling, because I was supporting people in this complex financial system, which has become more and more complex.” Financial counsellor, Jan, shares her experience of supporting peoplegoing through financial crisis.
