The Pondify Podcast - EPISODE 7 PART 2 - How do we build a community of grace?
play

09/06/23 • 27 min

Perhaps it’s fair to say that we need grace most when we find differences between us. However we are united by something far bigger. In this episode Nigel sits down with Kwasi and Bernita. They talk about their experiences of Christian community in the past and present and unpack the main questions which are "How do we show and receive grace?", "What is a community of grace?" and "How do we express a community of grace in church at CCBS?"

The Pondify Podcast - EPISODE 8 - SIMPLICITY PT 1 with guests Beth & Chris
play

09/20/23 • 29 min

In this episode of the Pondify Podcast, Matt & Nigel invite Beth Croft & Chris Jones to talk about the discipline of simplicity, as a part of practicing the way. The big question being asked is "What does it mean to live for Jesus with simplicity and how do we do it?" Together, they unpack how it takes effort and discuss the complexities of becoming an un-busy person in the modern times we live in. Simplicity can take a radical re-ordering in our attempts to put God first. So we ask the question "What does it mean to put God first?"

In this episode of the Pondify Podcast show Matt Squirrell & Noel Amos chat to Nigel Warner & Tom Amos about the vast subject of scripture. They unpack questions such as Do you love scripture?, Do you live by scripture?. How would you describe your relationship with scripture? and have there been times when you have avoided the Bible or when the Bible has been invaluable? What was the result? and many many many more - so much so we split this topic into two episodes. This episode was educational, inspirational and relational. We hope you enjoy it!

The Pondify Podcast - Episode 1 - Part 1 Matt & Esther - Adoption
play

04/05/23 • 33 min

At the tail end of 2022 we embarked on a new series for the Community Church Bishops Stortford podcast show. Following on from the Galatians Playmakers series, we decided to interview Matt, our Host and his wife Esther on the subject of Adoption. Little did we realise that the endearing testimony of Adoption which was to follow would unearth so much treasure.

This profound account is an example to us all, of enduring love, faith, and determination in the face of adversity. How the kindness and love of God at the centre of this family would set in motion an exciting new chapter in their lives and the next generation of this family. This is the first of a two part story about adoption.
