the wholehearted disciple

Are you prioritising your heart journey?
In this episode, we begin to explore what this means — learning why it’s so important to look beneath the surface of our lives and invite Jesus to bring healing and freedom to our inner world.
Drawing from Proverbs 4:23 and Luke 6, we reflect on how everything we do flows from our hearts, and why prioritising hidden, internal work is essential if we want to follow Jesus wholeheartedly over the long haul.
This conversation is both an invitation and a reminder: God deeply cares about the condition of our hearts, and as we allow Him to meet us there, it leads to lasting transformation in every area of our lives.
In this episode, we cover:
*Why the condition of our heart shapes everything we do
*God’s desire to bring healing, freedom, and wholeness to our inner world
*How to recognise what’s really going on in our hearts
*Jesus’ teaching on the tree and its fruit, and what it reveals about us
*The importance of building deep, hidden foundations that can withstand storms
*Why the heart journey can be difficult — but is always worth it
As you go into your week, take a moment to notice what’s happening beneath the surface. Pay attention to what’s coming out of your heart, and let it become an invitation to bring it honestly before God. He’s not in a rush, and He meets us right where we are.

Have you encountered Jesus as the resurrection and the life?
This bonus episode is a preach Wendy did at Portico Church, Coleraine. In it she looks at the start of Jesus’ journey to the cross. The catalyst that set everything else in motion - when He raised Lazarus from the dead in John 11. Wendy homes in on the life-transforming revelation that Martha received from Jesus. That He is the resurrection and the life. This isn’t just theology; it’s an invitation to experience His life-transforming power today.
In this episode, we explore:
Jesus’ personal revelation to Martha and what it means for us

Experiencing spiritual resurrection—what happens when we say yes to Jesus

Living with eternity in mind and the hope of future resurrection

Why Jesus’ resurrection power isn’t just past or future—but available now

How God brings life into places that feel beyond hope or restoration

The tension between life and opposition—and why hope always wins

As you listen, be reminded that no situation is too far gone, no heart too broken, and no story beyond redemption. Jesus is still revealing Himself today as the resurrection and the life—bringing hope, renewal, and victory wherever He is welcomed. Lean in, ask Him to reveal more of who He is, and open your heart to the life He longs to pour out.
Key Scripture:
John 11: 20-27

How can we fully embrace the gift of singleness and live it with joy, purpose, and freedom?

In this final episode of the series, we explore practical ways to thrive as a single person. Building on the challenges and costs we’ve acknowledged, we shift focus to the blessings: deep friendships, being part of other people’s families, freedom to take risks, generosity, and the ability to follow God’s calling with agility and faith.

We also reflect on ways to keep our hearts healthy as single people: being honest with God about the difficulties, focusing our affection on Jesus, and living with an eternal perspective. As John 17:3 reminds us, true life is knowing God—experiencing His presence, provision, and love.

This episode invites single listeners to receive their season as a gift, embrace its unique joys, and live fully confident that Jesus alone is the prize and the ultimate reward.

What does it really cost to live single—and how do we bring those costs to God?

In this episode, we talk honestly about the real challenges of singleness—not to diminish its value, but to honour the lived experience of those walking this path. While marriage and singleness are both gifts from God of equal worth, each carries genuine costs, and singleness is no exception.

Drawing from personal experience, this session explores the pain of shame, loneliness, and unmet longing—especially in moments like family gatherings, major life decisions, pioneering leadership, and the grief of not having a family of your own. These struggles are named without minimising them, and held alongside the truth that God sees, understands, and cares deeply.

This episode invites listeners to bring their pain honestly before God—to speak to Him about what feels costly, unfinished, or heavy—and to trust that His grace is sufficient for every need. You are not unseen, and your singleness is not without purpose or value.

Could marriage—without us realising it—have taken a place in our hearts that only Jesus should hold?

In this episode, we take an honest look at whether the church has not only undervalued singleness, but quietly over-valued marriage. Building on the previous conversation about faith for singleness and the all-sufficiency of Christ, this session asks a deeper question: Have we begun to look to marriage to meet needs that only Jesus can fulfil?

Through personal reflection and everyday church culture, we explore how marriage can subtly become an idol—promising security, acceptance, healing, or belonging—while unintentionally reinforcing the idea that singleness is somehow “less than.” Drawing on insights echoed by Sam Allberry, we examine common behaviours and assumptions that reveal what we truly celebrate and prioritise.

This episode invites listeners—single and married alike—to pause and listen to God. Are we seeing marriage the way He does: as a beautiful gift, but not the ultimate goal? As our hearts are gently reoriented, we are invited back to freedom—where Jesus alone is our reward, and every season of life is received with equal dignity and worth.
