Intrusive Thoughts: Faith battle, mental health struggle or both?
Do you ever get intrusive thoughts? Wondering whether you locked the door, left the oven on, or even thinking, "What if I shouted on this crowded train?" Most people experience thoughts like these, but for around 1 in 100 people, they become overwhelming, leading to OCD. For Christians, this can raise difficult questions: Are these thoughts from the enemy, or do they mean my faith is weak? Esther spoke to Rev. Will Van der Hart and Dr Thea Joshi.
'The dean of my Bible college called me a thick northerner'
Is there a North-South divide in our churches? Incoming Labour leader Andy Burnham says Britain needs the biggest rebalancing of power in generations — but is the same true for the Church? Esther spoke to Anthony Delaney, founder of Ivy Church in Manchester, and the Reverend Dr Cris Rogers, newly appointed Director of Mission for the Church of England Birmingham, about class prejudice, accents, and how church mission is about uncovering rough diamonds.
Should Christians stand up to their bosses?
As Christians, should we be competitive in the workplace? The Bible makes it clear that we should respect those in positions of authority, but what if you feel you are more competent than those above you? When is the right time to challenge a leader? Esther spoke to Martyn Link, founder of Business Connection and a member of the team at Thrive Scotland, to hear his experiences with workplace competition.
