Kia ora listeners! Welcome to episode 8. In this podcast I talked to Susan Holt about her journey. I was blessed hearing about her faith that sprouted and grew, despite the odds. Peace and love, Jonny

We all worship - the question is who or what we worship, and is what we worship actually of worth? Listen as James talks about worshipping the King of Kings and how, in our times of worshipping in song, we can choose to bring a waiata for the King.

God is amazing and Jesus is the best news ever and yet we sometimes find it hard to tell others about him - why? Listen as Jonny shares his thoughts on why telling others about Jesus is hard and what we can do about it.

We see and experience brokenness all around us - is there anything that can be done? Deep down what we really need is the goodness of the Kingdom of God. Listen as James unpacks Jesus' story of the returning king from Luke 19, and how we can be people that welcome the King and, in doing so, welcome his Kingdom.

Listen as Natalya takes us on a journey to meet with God, bringing him our gifts and burdens and finding life and identity in his presence.

Kia ora listeners! Welcome to episode 7. Sorry for the long gap between episodes. In this conversation I talked to Andrew Want about his journey. I was blessed hearing about that indescribable, unfathomable ‘thing’ that seems to be there in and through all. Peace and love, Jonny

It wasn't long ago that we were under lockdown in our isolation bubbles. It was a massive disruption to our lives and ways of doing things, and now is a good time to look back and reflect on what we might learn from that time - what kind of things might God have been showing us that we can run with into the future?

The earliest followers of Jesus called their movement "The Way" which sounds more like a journey than a destination. What does the journey involve? At least three linked elements: revelation, repentance and renewal. Check out the final message of our Re series!

Revival is a loaded word but it carries meaning and purpose that our world desperately needs - reconciliation with God and with one another. Check out word # 4 in our Re series!

When God breathes creation happens - so what happened when God breathed on 120 people waiting in an upstairs room in Jerusalem 2000 years ago? And what happens when God breathes on us? Check out the third word in our RE series: Recreate.

Everyone aligns their lives with something or someone - what could life be like if we aligned our lives with God? In this message James unpacks the second word of our RE series - Re:Align. Grace + peace!

Kia ora listeners! Welcome to episode 6. This week I talked to Henry McClintock about his journey. I was blessed hearing Henry's take on faith and relationship and I hope you are too. Henry would also like to make an important correction: "I think I may have been 10 years out in one of my dates, they (Sheffield Wednesday) were top of the premiership when I first came to NZ in Sept 1996..." Pease + love, Jonny

After 49 days of alert level 3 and 4 lockdown, what shall we do with our new found freedom? Is it back to life as it was or is there a better way? In this message James talks about how God is calling to us to recentre our lives on and in King Jesus. Grace + peace!

Kia ora listeners! Welcome to episode 5. This week I talk to Anna Moodie about her journey. Be encouraged and seek the Lord! Like for the last episode, it would be awesome if people could post words of encouragement to the guest each week on the CV group Facebook post. Then on the next episode I’ll feedback that good stuff. Peace and love, Jonny

In this time of COVID-19 and uncertainty, how can we put our trust in God? Listen and be encouraged as Matt looks at what Jesus teaches us.

This week I talk to Kirk Hodgson about his journey. Again, I hope you are encouraged by hearing stories of God’s love and faithfulness. Also, as I state in the introduction to the episode, I think it would be awesome if people could post words of encouragement to the guest each week on the CV Facebook post. Then on the next episode I’ll feedback that good stuff. Peace and love, Jonny

In his death and resurrection Jesus became the place to meet with God - the new Temple - He is the way, the truth and the life. But then mysteriously Christians are also described as the temple of God... what's going on here? In this message from the CV live-stream service, James unpacks the incredible reality for children of God.

Why do Christians reckon that Good Friday is good? What makes Good Friday a day to remember and to celebrate? In this talk from the CV Good Friday live stream service, James unpacks how on Good Friday Jesus Christ opened the way to God.

My Beloved is a collaborative song from Caleb Clayton and Anna Moodie. Picture yourself in the presence of the transcendent and eternal God. Now imagine that this same God has his arms stretched out towards to you, wanting to embrace you and be close. Now realise that this is the reality for children of God through Jesus Christ and let your heart be captured in his love. TPSTRY (tapestry) conveys the image of threads being woven together. In the same way Jesus takes the threads of our lives as individuals and as communities and weaves them together to make something beautiful. Songs can reflect the redeeming and creative work of Jesus, bringing expression to the life that he has put in our hearts. To him be the glory! Over the last 12 months, the team at CV have been working on demo recordings of songs, which we've decided to make public to encourage people during the lockdown in Aotearoa New Zealand.
