Appendicitis at 3 months old in Africa. Losing a mother to cancer. Raising a child with a severe disability. Marion’s story is full of hardship, and also full of God. She’s a very down-to-earth person who is full of joy and who knows God’s goodness. Yet she could have chosen a very different attitude and no one would have blamed her. I think you’ll be really blessed by this interview with Marion today.

In today’s chapter of My Year of Saying NO I talk about making space in your calendar between appointments, and making space just to be, just to stop and refresh yourself.

Today’s talk with Steve comes with a trigger warning. Steve talks about the occult (not in any detail at all) and about OCD. He also shares with us his journey of letting go of false treasures and idols in his life and how he has learned to put God first.

Beth’s interview (Steve’s wife) is episode 61.

Two chapters of My Year of Saying NO today: Only do what you love? and Do you really enjoy this? They are two sides of a coin, and different takes on the normal ‘self love’ philosophy.

The mother’s day high tea story I mention is read in Episode 60 of A Quiet Life.

BTW This Friday marks the 2nd anniversary of the release of my first novel Deadly Misconduct. You can find out more about it at www.rjamos.com and sign up to my newsletter there too 🙂

Today’s interview with Alison was recorded in the summer, you’ll hear us reference the bushfires like we thought that would be the biggest thing happening this year! Alison talks about what church means to her, and I think that her definition of church is still useful, even in these strange times when we’re all meeting online.

Oh the Deep Deep Love of Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLTu1xv2-Us (I couldn’t go past the epic version).

Today is chapter 7 of My Year of Saying NO. I talk about rewarding myself for changing my habits so that I can start to find a new way of doing things.

In the introduction I let you know just how I’m doing right now, and why this podcast is coming out on a Thursday instead of a Wednesday. Spoiler – I’m not the energiser bunny right now.
