Thankfullness

It’s a word we Christians use a lot. Faith. Faith is the foundation of our walk with God. But what does it mean to grow in faith? And what does faith look like when our prayers seem to go unanswered? Join Jeff for the first of four programmes exploring faith through the good days and the bad.

Ever caught yourself telling God how things ought to work out? This week on Lucas on Life, Jeff explores something we can all find ourselves doing trying to manage God. From the plans we make to the answers we expect, how willing are we to let go of control?

Sometimes we feel that life has passed us by, and it’s too late to find a spring in our step. But with God, there’s always a chance to rediscover our purpose, even when others have written us off. Join Jeff Lucas as he reflects on stories from this week’s news that remind us that where there’s life, there’s hope.

It’s something we all think we’re rather good at – listening. But in a world full of distractions, we can easily fail to give God and others our full attention. Join Jeff this Sunday at eight as we discover why, when we listen well, we love well.

As he considers how we can find hope in the headlines, Jeff Lucas takes us to a rather unlikely place – the British Museum. We also meet a water buffalo called Doris and take a look at next year’s weather! Join Jeff for a thought-provoking and entertaining half-hour, Sunday at eight.

There’s been a lot of talk about hope in the news this week. It’s been the theme of the Labour Party Conference, and the reason behind the creation of a memorial to J. R. R. Tolkien in Westminster Abbey. So join Jeff as he ponders the headlines and considers what we, as Christians, are called to walk in, the hope of Christ.

There are days, and sometimes seasons, when we experience spiritual dryness, when life feels like we’re stranded in the Sahara Desert. It can be even harder when God seems silent, or when we find ourselves disappointed with Him. But Jeff Lucas believes that navigating disappointment with God can be part of the pathway to Christian maturity.

It’s an attitude that’s hard to maintain in a grabbing world, Join Jeff Lucas as he considers the biblical call to live humbly, and an uncomfortable truth for some of us: sometimes, we might just be wrong.

How do we, as Christians, face suffering, loss and the reality of our own death if Jesus doesn’t return first? With his trademark honesty and vulnerability, Jeff explores how we can respond, even when questions about faith remain unanswered.
