S05E006, A Life More Ordinary, Endurance

August 21, 2022 15:00 - 9 minutes - 6.4 MB

On this episode, we are looking at how we should view the ordinary and the extraordinary. Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced! #GoDeeper Steven begins this week’s GoDeeper by getting us to think of the extraordinary feats demonstrated during the 22 Commonwealth Games, compared to the ordinary feats that ordinary people like us achieve. He then unpacks the passage of Scripture found in Luke 18:10-14, pointin...

S02E005, Day to Day, Marriage Matters

August 20, 2022 15:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MB

Introduction This week’s Marriage Matters, you’ll be pleased to hear, is quite simple and straight forward and although Andy B and Jo tackle what might be the mundane and ordinary things of married life, this episode is not boring! To give you a taster, so you can believe it’s true, these are some of the subjects covered: cleaning your teeth, putting the bin out, cooking meals and wait for it – cleaning the dishes! And if that was not exciting enough Jo mentions smelling roses and coffee a...

In Case You Missed It Endurance – Timing is everything Steven and Nathan look at timing in life, challenging us to trust in God’s timing, even if it does not agree with our preferred timing. Marriage Matters – It’s gone Pear-shaped In this episode, Andy and JoJo discuss how to create peace and harmony in the home despite things going pear-shaped.

S05E005, Timing is Everything, Endurance

August 14, 2022 15:00 - 11 minutes - 8.06 MB

On this episode, we talk about how to have timing in our spiritual walks. Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced! #GoDeeper In this week’s GoDeeper Steven relates queuing, waiting for the bus, and being on hold to those times or seasons of waiting in life.  He goes on to emphasise the importance of God’s timing compared to our own timing, because ultimately, God sees the bigger picture.  Sometimes we can feel...

S02E004, It's Gone Pear Shaped, Marriage Matters

August 13, 2022 15:00 - 34 minutes - 23.4 MB

Introduction In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo face the fact that things can go wrong and use the phrase ‘pear shaped’ to describe difficulties in marriage. Jo wants us to know that they are not being ‘pearist’ and have nothing against pears! And, as usual, Jo and Andy share their own experiences to encourage and support us in celebrating marriages in spite of these unattractive problems and help us find a healthy way to grow our marriages. In this episode, Andy and Jo encourag...

In Case You Missed It Endurance – Danger Zone (S05E003) Steven and Nathan discussed stepping out of our comfort zone and taking those risks that God may call us to take. After Steven took us deeper in GoDeeper Nathan asked him some hard questions. In the end they both helped us to understand what it means to step into the “Danger Zone.” Marriage Matters – Love Hurts (S02E003) And B and JoJo took a look at Hosea 3 as they covered some rather hard-hitting and difficult subjects.

S05E004, Rhythm of the Righteous, Endurance

On this episode, we expound the topic of spiritual rhythm. Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced! #GoDeeper This week Steven begins GoDeeper by relating our need for rhythm when running to the rhythm we need in our everyday life. He goes on to draw out some of the things that Romans 12:8-9 commands us to do in order to live at peace with everyone. They include prayer, generosity, rejoicing, service to God and...

S05E003, Danger Zone, Endurance

July 31, 2022 15:00 - 10 minutes - 7.3 MB

On this episode, we look at the idea of ‘danger zones.’ Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced! #GoDeeper This week Steven kicks off GoDeeper with a passage of Scripture from Mark, chapter 8 where Jesus commands us to take up our cross and follow Him. He goes on to point out that if you keep certain everyday objects like a car or smart watch hidden away, out of danger, you defeat their purposes. That’s exactly...

S02E002, Marriage For The Maker, Marriage Matters

July 30, 2022 15:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MB

Introduction In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo challenge us to consider how our marriages measure up to God’s standard. Andy and Jo remind us that marriage is God’s design, noting that God created one man and one woman and said they should go forth and multiply and that the two become one flesh which is spelt out in Genesis. Andy and Jo also point out that Jesus talks about being the Bride Groom and the Church being the bride, using the analogy of marriage showing the importan...

One of this week’s passages of Scripture from...

As usual Andy and Jo share their thoughts and personal experiences as they consider why Marriage is the way to go and seek to dispel the myths about marriage that make you think of marriage in a negative way.

Steven is the one to take us deeper and with Nathan’s helpful questioning, they both look at why we say “I’m Fine” when we are not, encouraging us to be honest with others, ourselves, and God.

S05E001, I'm Fine! Endurance

July 17, 2022 15:00 - 11 minutes - 7.88 MB

On this, the first episode of Season 5, we talk about how we use the phrase “I’m fine.” We had a short break, but we’re back with a newly refined season of Endurance. Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced! #GoDeeper Steven begins his first ever GoDeeper by stating the rather obvious fact, that saying you are fine when you are not, is lying. He goes on to unpack Colossians 3:9, which commands us not to lie to...

S04E100, Pausing Is Good for You!! Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 13, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 2.05 MB

Well, that’s it - this is my 100th episode of Andy B 2 Minute Videos in this current season (and my 148th overall). We’ve only recently reached 1,000 posts across the BerryBunch, and now I’ve just finished my 100th episode of my weekday thought provokers. It’s a moment to celebrate what I’ve been able to do by the guiding, and providing, of God. With this current season we saw the biggest changes to our online ministry: we’ve added another pair of studio lights we’ve invested in 2 x studi...

S04E099, Little Things Matter Too! Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 12, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 1.88 MB

On the floor of our studio, for about 2 weeks, has been a tiny piece of black foam. I knew what it is – the foam cover from a pair of small headphones. But the studio floor is also a fairly busy place, so I left it, and then forgot about it and, then, well, rinse and repeat until I make an Andy B 2 Minute Video out of it! Eventually I worked out who it belonged to when I spotted Jo’s earphones, missing one circle of black foam from one side - and I finally went to pick it up: I’ll replace ...

S04E098, Peace Trumps Fear! Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 11, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.14 MB

The UK has seen a terrifying increase in costs for heating and cooking. In the middle of summer, heating seems like something to not worry about. But the latest estimates are that a family who are paying £300 in the summer, will be paying £500 by October and £550 by January. As a family we were only paying £100 at the start of the year. That’s a five fold increase! In the midst of this our UK Prime Minister has been forced to resign, which leads people to wondering what – and who - comes ne...

S04E097, Kindness doesn't need to be costly! Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 08, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.71 MB

S04E096, Headwinds, & Tailwinds, Failure and Success, Andy B 2 Minute Video Kindness doesn’t have to be something we reserve for special occasions. It doesn’t have to cost us everything we have either, but it will always cost us something. At the time of writing there’s proof of the need for kindness in our world as a former South African satanist - of many years - recently became a Christian. Why? Because of an unprompted act of kindness from someone he didn’t know, that led Him straight...

S04E096, Headwinds, & Tailwinds, Failure and Success, Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 07, 2022 17:00 - 4 minutes - 2.87 MB

I was cycling the exact same route for several days in a row. However, the wind direction – and speed – changed each day. I went from having a tail wind on a stretch of road one day, to a head wind on the same section of road the next. I saw my average speed double with the wind behind me, and drop to half when it was against me. It was quite noticeable! If we always help people with everything, they will struggle to learn how to do that for themselves. At the same time, we need to balance ...

S04E095, Tin Openers, Struggles and the Bible, Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 06, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.18 MB

Today's topic idea was sponsored by Devotional Treasures: Alan suggested I use a tin opener as a hook for an Andy B 2 Minute Video, so here it is. There is a particular tinned meal which can be rather popular in the BerryBunch household. We eat it seldom, but MAN IS IT GOOD! It’s simply a pie you bake in an oven, in the tin it comes in. In very clear instructions, on the back, is the need to use a good quality tin opener, because this tin uses much heavier steel: flimsy, or cheaper, tin ope...

S04E094, Confusion, Panic and Peace, Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 05, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 2.08 MB

I’ve always said that perception trumps reality. It doesn’t matter what the truth may be, if our projected image doesn’t back it up. And the bible tells us that we shall be known by our fruits – it’s the basic underlying principle that lifted up the widow who emptied her purse against the rich man who gave so much, but only a tiny portion of what he had. As Christians it’s easy to think that we need to blend in to our surroundings, in order that we can maintain our witness, and maintain tha...

S04E093, When White Washing Isn't White Washing, Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 04, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.12 MB

Washing machine companies spend an eye watering amount of money on advertising. I cringe as I remember some of the adverts on TV in the 80s and 90s. But, not, perhaps for the reasons you may think. Although, saying that, some of those adverts truly dreadful. Not all that long ago the BerryBunch ran a high street shop - we sold everything eco-friendly, including alternatives for washing detergents, until a recession forced our profitable business to have to close. Washing detergent function...

S04E092, When Stubbornness Stops A Train, Andy B 2 Minute Video

July 01, 2022 17:00 - 4 minutes - 2.87 MB

Someone tried to steal some signalling cable for train lines in the UK along an 8 mile stretch of railway. This created a huge problem as trains were cancelled all together, or simply delayed by 2 hours or more. As you moved away from the centre of where the problem began, those issues simply grew, exponentially! At one train station one particular man had finally boarded a train, but became so angry when asked to get off that the police had to be called. The problem wasn’t one of him being...

S04E091, Rain, Wisdom, Pauses and Pushing On, Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 30, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.35 MB

Life can be pretty challenging sometimes, especially when what you first thought was a pleasant day changes, dramatically. Now, you’re not just walking up a mountain enjoying the view, but you’re fighting for your life as freezing fog or a heavy downpour suddenly envelopes you, snow falls and you realise you didn’t bother to bring any emergency survival gear because it all looked so lovely when you set out. When learning to drive I faced, what can only be described as, torrential rain – the...

S04E090, T Cutting Out The Good, Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 29, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.37 MB

Good things and bad things. They make up our lives! And it’s easy to want to forget about the bad things, especially those mistakes we made that we don’t want anybody else to ever know about. We can accomplish, some of the time. But, there are some mistakes that are impossible to hide from others. And there is nothing we can ever hide away from God. While it may seem like a great idea to cover over those dents and scratches from the bodywork of our lives, it may actually pay us to leave th...

S04E089, Stress, Confusion and Clearing The Decks, Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 28, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 1.64 MB

Stress can hit us in different ways. And one of the symptoms I’ve often experienced myself, or seen in others, is that of confusion. You can be racing through life one moment and, the next, wonder you’ve just put the milk in the cupboard and the tea bags in the oven. That, right there, is confusion, and too much stress can leave you in that situation. As Christians we are absolutely not immune to the struggles of living in this world. However, we do have access to the creator and designer...

S04E088, Road Closed Signs And The Beauty Beyond, Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 27, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 2.05 MB

“Road Closed”. It’s a simple sign in the UK.  It is a big, unmistakable sign – in red, with bold white letters. It means you can’t go any further in your car, without, essentially, permission - such as you live or work beyond it. But, to most people, it is the end of your journey along that road, because you are not allowed to proceed any further. Near our home is a beautiful location, right on the coast. Steven runs to it. Jo and I cycle to it, often with Peter. We stand, we look, we lis...

S04E087, Accepting things is a good thing! Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 24, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 1.91 MB

When people say well done, do you try and deflect that compliment? I know this is something I’ve always struggled with! I’ve led worship for more than 3 decades. Ever since the age of 11 I’ve been part of the worship group in a church, leading worship to children, or adults, or both. By the age of 15 I was leading worship in a church of 350 to 400 people, and a worship group behind me of perhaps 10 or more people on occasion - frequently either older, or more experienced, than I was. Peopl...

S04E086, Butter, Salt, Blending and Standing Out! Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 23, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 2 MB

Bilbo Baggins is something of a hero, if you know anything of Lords of the Rings. And there is a line he utters which is wonderfully descriptive! He mentions about how tired he has become, and he likens his tiredness to ‘butter spread over too much bread’. To be fair to Bilbo, he had long gone past his natural oldest age, but that description paints a great picture of how life can, sometimes, feel. The bible tells us that, as Christians, we should stand out – like salt does in a meal. It d...

S04E085, Play the cards you’re dealt! Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 22, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 2.03 MB

When you’re playing cards you can wish a better hand, as much as you like. But, at some point, you have to accept the cards you’ve been dealt. And it is much the same in life. We can wish for a better car, a better job, a better house, a better retirement plan, better health. But wishing just pushes us deeper into a place of being sad and depressed. Wishing doesn’t change what is. It just robs us of our ability to enjoy what is. Rather than wishing away our lives, we need to accept what i...

S04E084, Good Struggles, Andy B 2 Minute Video

June 21, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.42 MB

Life can be full of struggles. Some can be good – like the effort needed to build muscle in a gym. The struggle feels good, because we can – possibly slowly – see a positive difference to our bodies. Some struggles can be bad – like grieving a loved one when we’re not ready to say goodbye to them, or having to live with life changing injuries from an accident that was not our fault. In her book, Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom wonderfully illustrates how things that can at first appear truly ...

S04E083, Andy B 2 Minute Video, Clear The Memory Banks

June 20, 2022 17:00 - 2 minutes - 1.89 MB

When carrying out some rather widespread and deep website building work, Nathan and I ran across a really odd problem to have! Because, every time we loaded one video, another one kept on displaying instead. After something of a panic, since it seemed to affect every video we had been working on, I thought about clearing the cache - for our internet browser. If you’re more computer savvy than me (not very hard) then sorry for the following explanation: The cache is much like the memory fo...

Marriage Matters, ‘Let’s get physical’ Part 4, S01E020

June 11, 2022 15:00 - 8 minutes - 5.72 MB

In this Season Finale, Andy and Jo make the most of the time they have available, and their friendship - they go out for a cycle together. And, while it took a bit longer to organise themselves to both be available - during a working day - they made it in the end. Marriage rarely turns out how we expect and you'll never prepare for everything that comes your way. But, a marriage that is based around a friendship will always be much stronger and richer, than one that isn't. It's easy to los...

Introduction In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo do some more straight talking about sex in marriage – ‘Let’s get physical’ Part 3 – would you believe it! The focus is still on the good stuff and the benefits of a healthy sex life in marriage!  Jo recaps from the last episode, having covered frequency of sex in marriage, expectations, and false messages that we bring into our marriages, the advantages of a healthy sex life in marriage and Jo’s favourite memory of sex in her own m...
