This is Our Story 33:22

2d ago33:22

33:22

Chances are there are parts of your story that you love and, if you're honest, parts of your story you'd rather not bring out. There are parts of our story we broadcast through a team jersey, the car we drive, the ink on our skin, or the grey in our hair. Other parts of our story get tucked away in a journal, in a prayer, as a secret, or lost in me…

Sepsis: how to spot atypical symptoms 41:02

3h ago41:02

41:02

When sepsis nurse Yvonne Young’s son experienced pain in his knee and groin, she told herself there must be another explanation. It couldn’t be sepsis, could it? The signs were atypical. But Yvonne, assistant director of nursing for sepsis at UL Hospitals Group in Ireland, listened to the nagging doubt in her head and took her son to the emergency …

Who Am I? 36:44

5d ago36:44

36:44

Introductions tell you a lot about a person. Introductions are an opportunity for you to give others insight into who you are. So, who are you? What makes you you? Whether using a social media bio, a meet and greet, or an autobiography, how do you identify yourself?By Pastor Tim Veenstra

Nurses’ uniforms: what they say about nursing identity 36:15

10d ago36:15

36:15

Whatever gripes nurses may have about modern uniforms, they reflect that they at least have it better than previous generations. Nurses at trusts which take on the new national uniform in England will be wearing a smart scrub or dress in a lightweight fabric. In this Nursing Standard podcast we get an overview of the history of the nursing uniform …

Come Out of Hiding 36:54

12d ago36:54

36:54

Jesus, the master teacher, instructs us that when we pray, we’re to ask forgiveness for our sins. Confession is one of the keys to having a vibrant prayer life. Unfortunately, in a battle with our flesh and the condemnation of the enemy, we often fail to confess. Can you imagine the life and power available to us if we operated from a place of bein…

Hi. Hello. 38:18

21d ago38:18

38:18

We can all fall into the trap of approaching God through prayer and treating Him like a magic genie or a vending machine. On one side, it's about those three lucky wishes and making them count. On the other, it's about giving God the correct payment (good works, good words, lots of words, etc.) and getting from Him what you want. But what if prayer…

Essential pain management: how to use it in practice 26:31

1M ago26:31

26:31

‘Everybody’s going to get pain at some point in their lives. It’s something we’re all going to experience.’ And that’s why it is vital that all nurses have a firm grasp of essential pain management (EPM), according to RCN Pain and Palliative Care Forum chair Martin Galligan. In this episode of the Nursing Standard podcast, guest host Martin – who i…

What Has Happened To Me? 39:42

28d ago39:42

39:42

It's common to ask others for help. It may have happened in your life this week when your car broke down, when you needed a pen at school, or as you were running behind on a project at work. It's also very normal to ask God for help. We seek His direction, His healing, and His gifts. It's not wrong to ask—in fact He tells us to do so. However, we'v…

Standing in the Gap 35:53

1M ago35:53

35:53

Throughout the biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation, we see God’s heart to work with His people to carry out His purposes. What if our greatest contribution to the Kingdom of God is our prayers? What if God’s desire is for us to stand in the gap for others with intercessory prayers?By Pastor Tim Veenstra

Motivation of the Heart 36:00

1M ago36:00

36:00

Prayer is essential to the Christian faith. Some may even say that prayer is life—that prayer is more than just something we do—it’s a lifestyle to embody. The Apostle Paul encourages followers of Jesus to pray without ceasing. Why, then, do most of us seriously struggle to have a vibrant prayer life? Are you satisfied with your prayer life? Let’s …

Overcoming Anxiety 37:22

2M ago37:22

37:22

Anxiety is a reality of life. These are uncertain times. Every season of life presents its own version of anxiety. Anxiety brings heaviness; everything seems out of control. There’s a feeling of uncertainty. Yet, Jesus presents a clear path amidst that heaviness.By Pastor Dave Engbrecht

Taste and See 30:32

2M ago30:32

30:32

The psalms use beautiful word images to paint pictures of what a relationship with the Lord can be. In other places in the Bible, authors have taken the language of the psalmist and reiterated the idea of tasting the goodness of God. What an invitation! To experience, tangibly, through the senses, the goodness of God. Have you tasted and seen?…

Royal Posture 34:29

2M ago34:29

34:29

They show up in fairy tales, on magazine covers, and on the big screen. We talk about them from time to time not always knowing how they connect to us or bring meaning to our lives. “They” are Kings & Queens. They are royalty—romanticized figures who seem out of touch and out of place in everyday life. But thankfully, the Psalms don’t overly romant…

A watershed moment for change at the NMC 33:10

2M ago33:10

33:10

The ‘glacial pace’ of fitness to practise (FtP) investigations into nursing staff breached human rights, says the review team that examined the running of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Psalms of Lament 36:37

2M ago36:37

36:37

It may be surprising to know that psalms of lament are the most common subcategory of passages in the book of Psalms. Laments give voice to the intensity of pain, confusion, doubts, and sorrow that are part of the human experience. It’s not a question of if we’ll experience pain in this life, but rather where do we turn to in our pain? How do we pr…

The Justice Paradox 32:42

3M ago32:42

32:42

Have you ever heard the phrase, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.” The psalms give us an honest look at David’s inconsistency. He wants God to enact justice but wants himself to be exempt from the justice he is due. This is the justice paradox: we want God to be fair, but also personally receive unfair treatment. How do we make sense of thi…

PRAISE! 35:54

3M ago35:54

35:54

The psalmist David writes, “My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.” When we look at the work of God’s hands, and when we reflect on His great salvific work in our lives, how can we do anything but praise His holy name for ever and ever? The people of God are people of praise!By Pastor Tim Veenstra

Grad Sunday 35:21

4M ago35:21

35:21

The psalmist in Psalm 73 finds himself fixated on the prosperity of the wicked in the world instead of on God.

Care for the Kids 33:13

4M ago33:13

33:13

Jesus rebukes and reminds His disciples that the Kingdom of heaven belongs to those like children. Kids are small windows into a very big reality. The innocence, the blind faith, and the curious wonder of a child are signposts to experiencing God. Protect kids at all cost. How might God be calling our collective body to care for kids?…

The Better Way 39:12

To both the religious insiders and the moral outsiders, Jesus gives a goal—a better way to orient our lives.

It seems like nothing could be worse than nothingness. Seriously, what good could ever come out of being alone, being in the dark, being out of the loop, being the last one standing?
