Join Ps. Colin Missingham in this powerful kick-off to ournew series, Battling the Zeitgeist! In this episode, Ps. Colin dives into the spirit of the age, exploring how we can stand firm against societal pressures and distractions. Through the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42), he challenges us to see ourselves as Martha—busy, distracted, and sometimesmissing Jesus right in our midst. With humour and heart, Ps. Colin encourages us to invite Jesus into every part of our lives, avoiding the trap of merely doing things for Him instead of with Him. Tune in for a fresh perspective on staying connected to God amidst life’s chaos!
