Welcome to the Goodlife Community Church Podcast! For 8 weeks, we are doing the ‘Practicing The Way Of Jesus’ course. A blueprint on spiritual formation and becoming a disciple of Jesus. We hope you can lean in and discover with us what it means to follow Jesus as a way of life, and see formation integrated into our church and us individually.
On the back of Mike's message last week, Stephen Jeffs is taking a look into Goal #1 of becoming a disciple which is to BE WITH JESUS.
"To be with him, to spend every waking moment aware of his presence and attentive to his voice. To cultivate a with-ness to Jesus as the base line of your entire life" - John Mark Comer
Be With Jesus -
1. Abide in me
2. Turning God into a habit
3. Find your secret place

Welcome to the first of THE PONDERING EPISODES for 2024! Join Hannah and her friends as they try to understand what does the voice of God sound like. Through the months of May and June, the Goodlife Church community has been unpacking the Holy Spirit in a series called 'Empowering Presence'. As a part of this we had the privilege of hearing from Rev. Dr. Tania Harris on how to hear the voice of God. It was in her teaching session that our community began to share their own personal journey of listening, asking and waiting for the voice of God.
In reflection, Hannah noticed that so often we hear extravagant, life-changing stories and yet there are so many everyday moments where God speaks to us. In this episode we have tried to capture a broad variety of stories that capture a few of the many different ways of hearing God.
Thanks to Jess, Harlow, Jesse, Bailey, Nat, Harley, Tim & Matt for sharing their beautiful stories. If you would like to share you're own personal experience hearing the voice of God please DM our socials or email Hannah at hbartle@goodlife.org.au - it doesn't need to be shared on the Podcast if you don't want.
THE PONDERING EPISODES: Have you got thoughts and questions about faith, the bible, church and life in general? Well, so do we! In these episodes we aim to have conversations where we wrestle and embrace all that this journey of faith brings. Do we have all the answers? Nope, but we are willing to ponder the big and the small things and have honest chats that may bring about new ways of thinking.

Today we have another special guest: Graham Kell. Graham is a kind, wise and accomplished clinical psychologist who for many years served as a pastor here on the Coast. He shares with us about Ibex and what we can learn about them:
1. God doesn't remove your opposition; he equips you to face it.
2. God doesn't make your path smooth; he makes your feet strong.
3. God doesn't prevent all dry times; he provides thirst that leads you to find refreshment.

Are you going to be a Spectator or a Player?
At Church on Sunday Mike shared that in our Christian faith there isn't an option to be a spectator, it's a journey that we are invited to A PART OF. For his message, Mike is guiding us through listening to God and reflecting, but most importantly what are we going to DO in response to this.
We reflect on our last week through -
1. Our Feet: Where we walk
2. Our Hands: How we contribute
3. Our Eyes: How we see
4. Our Mouth: What we say
What is the Spirit saying? What do we need to do?

This week Greg is sharing on wisdom, and asks the question that considering your past experiences, your current circumstances and your future hopes and dreams... What is the wise thing to do?
"Wisdom is rooted in relationship with God and the outworking of love."
Greg shares 4 ideas that stems from Ephesians 5:15 -
1. Wisdom = God's Will
2. Recognition of God's authority
3. Understand that God knows and wants what is best for us
4. Walk in love
It's a great message and we hope you feel encouraged and challenged by Greg's findings.

Today Mike and Hannah are answering questions that have come up over our series on EMPOWERING PRESENCE. This includes:
1. What does the voice of God sound like?
2. How do I know it's God speaking?
3. Does God speak beyond scripture?
4. What do we do when God seems silent?
5. Why does God Speak?
On the back of Dr. Rev. Tania Harris message last week, Mike also references her 3 questions to discern if god is speaking to you.
1. Would Jesus say this?
2. Is anyone else saying this?
3. Are spiritual signs following?
If you still have any questions you can always reach out by commenting, or sending us a message on social media.
