I am, I can, I ought, I will

Have you ever found yourself saying "I'm not, I can't, I wish, I won't"? In this episode Luke takes a phrase from 19th century educator Charlotte Mason and applies it to our lives. The news item about contentment at work Luke mentions is here.

Life Goes On

How time goes differently in Narnia, how we can find ourselves sleepwalking through life or frozen to a particular set of circumstances. In the second part of the show Luke talks about his allotment amongst other things.

Bigger Big

Have you ever overestimated the shadows and underestimated your abilities? In this episode Luke talks about thinking bigger, not scaling ourselves down or being an eagle that thinks it's a chicken. In the second part of the show, recorded in Luke's workshop, he talks about brewing nettle beer! The TED talk referenced is by Roman Mars, the book is The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson.

Works of Art

We're all called to create a masterpiece with our life, and that's the topic I'm talking around in this episode. I also talk about my most recent immersion songwriting day. The Erwin McManus talk I mention is here. Check out Peter Slade's art here, and the book I mention is The Frustrated Songwriter's Handbook.

Lost Rivers

How do you deal with criticism? And has criticism caused you to bury some of your dreams, like "lost rivers" beneath our cities? Perhaps it's time to bring them back to the surface! I also talk about some books I've been reading by Cathy Madavan and Erwin McManus.
