“God’s promise of enjoying his rest still stands. So be careful that none of you fails to receive it.” Hebrews 4:1

Rest is good for our bodies, our souls, our spirits, and our families. Rest replenishes us and enables us to get up and go again.

But rest is also more than that.

Rest is a holy place.

Rest is a place where we meet with God.

Rest is a chance to delight in God, and delight with God.

Can’t handle the stress? This time of year can be really stressful especially with all the pressure around exams and ‘doing well’. You are not alone if you find all of this a bit much! This is why the Diamonds Girlcast have come together to record some short soundbites of support, some advice and banter as you navigate this challenging time! Tune in now.

This series takes some of the tough stuff around relationships and brings it out into the open talking about finding love, what pressures we face, dealing with headache, reclaiming singleness, looking at how we make choices in relationships to talking about friendships, break ups and make ups! Join Ashleigh and Bridget from the Diamonds Core team for some honest and encouraging conversations!

I met him at church, we shared the same faith, the same values, the same interests. We made each other laugh. We got on well with each other’s families. 6 months in we were talking about getting engaged and I was envisaging myself joining the circle of shiny, happy Christian marriages I had been so inspired by and so longed for growing up. Then, all of a sudden, it fell apart.

It seems like Christmas gets earlier every year. Many people have had their tree and decorations up for weeks already. Just putting it out there, I’m not always a major fan of Christmas for a few reasons. Don’t get me wrong, there’s great elements of it I do love and lots of fun things happen at this time of year, but it can also be overwhelming, especially after the last 18 months where we’ve been restricted in who we can see/what we can do. 

Join us this advent as we prepare to get ready for Christmas over on our podcast, the Diamonds Girlcast. A space for honest conversations that inspire faith. A new story podcast looks at Mary’s response to finding out that she was going to become the person to bring Jesus into the world. At a time where that wasn’t socially acceptable, to have a baby out of marriage comes a story of faith, trust and hope. Tune in now on all common podcast platforms.

Check out our latest podcast on Image.

This series we are talking all things body image, our self-confidence, mental health in terms of our mind to what shapes our character and action - all of which make up who we are and therefore the ‘image’ we have. Go have a listen, download and share and let us know what you think. We would love to hear from you.

There are many positive experiences I associate with these 3 words. The excitement of buying new shoes, getting the latest pencil case or cool pens, seeing friends again and knowing that there is a fresh year ahead full of possibilities…but going back to school can bring up other feelings too – anxiety and nervousness about the year ahead, worries about how I will come across to my colleagues and pupils, fears of failure.

There is no ‘one size fits all’ response to a global pandemic or to lockdown. Some people have found it easy to follow the rules, some people have found it impossible, some people have chosen to follow them and some people have chosen not to. Wherever you fit onto the scale of emotions right now I want you to stop for a minute, close your eyes and tell yourself – it’s OK to feel this way.

We are thrilled to share this new podcast with you with our good friend Bea Roy from We Are Tearfund. Bea will be joining us for our next six episodes all about justice and how this generation, that’s you and me are called to be part of God’s amazing work bringing justice and restoring what is broken.

We can often view prayer as just asking - almost a sort of Christian magical wishing well. But asking is more a result of the purpose of prayer - not the purpose itself.

Commitment does that make you feel secure or the opposite? This is the last episode in our series and wraps up our conversations on mental health with 24-7 Prayer Scotland. When we have faith in Christ we are called to follow him with our whole lives. This is hard but we can do it if we have the right support around us. This weeks podcast will help you think about your support network and what it means to plant yourself in a community that love and supports you on your journey of faith. Listen in now.

You have a vital role to play in this world and you are here for a reason! Do you believe that? Sometimes when we look at the world around us it can feel overwhelming to know where to start, how to make a difference and how to be that person someone can count on but you can be! As we continue to look at how we connect into God for ourselves and others this week with our mental health this weeks podcast gives some helpful tips to know where to start even if it’s just in small ways. Listen now.

Are you in a season of waiting? No one likes to wait. Much of life recently has felt like one big waiting game hasn’t it? But what would happen if we started to view the waiting time in our lives not as wasted time but time in which God has definite plan and purpose for us?! Listen now for more conversations on the stuff that matters with Crystal Cryer from 24-7 Prayer Scotland.

What is your focus? When you are having a bad day what is your focus? The problem in front of you? If you are anything like most people … we tend to focus on the problem. This is so natural but how do we shift our focus? To the source that can ultimately help us? God! No one likes living through the tough stuff but the defining thing is often not the issue but how we choose to respond! Listen now for honest conversations with 24-7 Prayer on how in the hardest of season we can find peace by focusing on what matters most.

When things get tough … what do we remember? This influences how we cope with something. This week on our podcast Bridget and Crystal unpack how in the face of difficulty remembering who God is makes all the difference and will also influence our ability to respond in the face of challenges.
