Are you a hedgehog or a rhino? When conflict comes your way, do you charge straight into it... or curl up and avoid it altogether? And more importantly, what does it look like to handle disagreement the way Jesus would? Lydia and Max were joined by Lydia’s mum, Alison Bennett, mediator, coach and conflict specialist, to explore how followers of Jesus can navigate conflict with wisdom, grace and courage, even when conversations get difficult.
Spiritual retreats often sound wonderful in theory — time with God, space to reflect, and a chance to recharge. But the reality can sometimes be quite different, with distractions, discomfort, and moments when God feels distant rather than close. So what does genuine spiritual refreshment look like? And how might Jesus have approached retreat and rest? Lydia and Max spoke to Anglican priest, poet and retreat leader Ian Adams.
The Higham family join Max and Lydia to chat about being more like Jesus at the pub during the World Cup, and how sharing faith can start as simply as buying someone a pint. They also talk Bible studies at Boardmasters Festival, their love of gigging together, and dive into family dynamics with a game of 'Who'am in the Highams?'.
