What it really means to 'offer your body as a living sacrifice'
Playback speed
Imagine you had to rate your pursuit of God on a faith appraisal form - what score would you give yourself?
Convicting, isn’t it?
In a culture that constantly tells us to do more and be more, many Christians end up feeling spiritually exhausted.
But what if pursuing God wholeheartedly isn’t about doing more?
Texas-based Bible teacher and women's minister Cheryl Marshall joined Lydia to chat about her new book 'All of Me' and what it really looks like to give God every part of ourselves.

Is our image of the Bible historically accurate?
For many of us, our understanding of Scripture is shaped by Sunday school, society, or even the media. But what if some of the images we hold close to our hearts aren’t entirely accurate? That’s what the Red-Haired Archaeologist, Amanda Hope Haley explores in her new book, 'Stones Still Speak'. A Harvard-educated archaeologist and theologian, Amanda joined Lydia Bennett to discuss how archaeological evidence can strengthen our faith in Scripture.
Does God care about what we eat?
We all have a different relationship with food - whether it’s simply fuel or something that brings joy and connection. But what we consume, physically and spiritually, shapes more than we realise, affecting our wellbeing, mood, and focus. Emma Maitland-Carew, a registered Nutritional Therapist and accredited Wellbeing Coach, joined Lydia to explore the connection between caring for our bodies and caring for our souls.
Should Christians go to a Muslim celebration?
Should Christians accept an invitation to an Iftar meal, an Eid celebration, or another festival connected to a different faith? Does saying yes compromise our faith, or could it open the door to friendship, hospitality and conversations about Jesus? The line can be blurry - Is attending something like Iftar simply an act of friendship and respect, or are there theological boundaries Christians should think carefully about? Andy Bannister from Solas joined Lydia to unpack.
