The Good News changes everything, yet so often we have locked it into a narrow cell of domesticated doctrine.

The purposes and plans of God are bigger than we could ever understand and more secure than we could ever hope.

What we want to leave behind after we have gone is one of the most important important things we have to decide.

We have a choice: we can build our lives on what others think of us, or what God thinks of us

The most exhilarating and perhaps the hardest thing to do is live the life that God intended for us.

We aren’t free when someone tells us we are. We are free when we live free

In this, the last episode in the Good Grief podcast series, we face the ultimate question that lurks in the shadows of sorrow and loss and our sense of pain and devastation. The hardest question to ask is also the hardest question to answer - and only...

The resurrection of Lazarus offers us hope about life after death, but the Resurrection of Jesus changes everything. What does the promise of 'Resurrection' mean and how can it temper and transfigure our sorrow and pain?

If all that we have explored thus far in the Good Grief Podcast is true, why do we still go through death, sorrow and loss? Can we find a way of seeing our sorrow and loss redeemed?

Death lies to us, trying to convince us that it gets the last word. What if this isn;t true? The story of Lazarus;s resurrection exposes some of our confusion around death, and some of Jesus's answers. This episode explores those answers.

Why do we have to weep? Is there anything good that come of the grieving process? In this episode, I pick up the story of Lazarus and explore why Jesus let Martha and Mary weep, and why He lets us weep too.

We can often feel like our grief journey is a solo affair, or one that we walk through and ask God to help us. In this episode, and the ones that follow, I explore the single Biblical story of death, sorrow, loss and hope that has shaped my grief...

So often our cultures, out communities, and perhaps our churches, expect us to live our lives in the major keys of celebration, hope and joy. But what if life is written in both a major and a minor key, and to live well is to learn to recognise and...

We spend our lives holding the hands of those we love. When we lose someone, we do not want to let them go and we do not know how to do it. What if we don;t have to? What if we simply need to learn to change our grip?

Always remember that a child might hear what you say ‘amen’ to. Rev Malcolm Duncan explores a response to racism and its challenges.

Grief is not linear. Learning to walk through grief as a seasonal experience helps us to identify what is happening in our grief journey at a particular moment and enables us to respond in ways that can not only help us to survive, but see us begin to...
