Blue Monday is just around the corner—the time when bills arrive, days feel darker, and motivation runs low. As Christians, we have a God who promises hope, peace, and life in all its fullness. So why do we still struggle? And more importantly, how can we experience the full life Jesus offers? Psychotherapist, counsellor, and lecturer at the London School of Theology, Dr Ike Odina, joined Lydia Bennett to unpack this.
Dr. Claire Gilbert knows this struggle well. An author, speaker, and mentor, Claire was diagnosed with myeloma—a cancer of the blood—at age 54 and has lived with it ever since. Her book Miles to Go Before I Sleep: Letters on Hope, Death and Learning to Live chronicles her journey through illness and faith. She joined Lydia Bennett to share how her faith sustained her through the diagnosis.
Scripture is rich with wisdom, but sometimes its meaning feels distant or hard to grasp. So, is it possible to engage deeply with the Bible without losing sight of its original intent? Paul Coulter, the executive Director of Christianity in Society, joined Madeleine Kerzner to unpack this.
