We are fast approaching the end of Reggae Month, a month when the baseline feels heavier, the drumbeat feels louder and when the sound of Jamaica rises from “yaad” to the world. However, today we go deeper. We ask the sacred questions, “Can reggae be worship?” “Can baseline become benediction?” […]
This morning, we are focusing on “A New Dawn”. This program seeks to remind you that every ending is just the start of something beautiful. Today, we are diving into one of the most important journeys after divorce, the journey of self-love, and opening our hearts to new love again. […]

This morning, we are shining a light on an issue that is often hidden in the shadows: Men and Mental Health. The truth is, men face silent battles every day, often feeling pressured to be strong, stoic, and self-reliant. But behind the facade, many are struggling with anxiety, depression and […]
As we step into the new year, many of us find ourselves reflecting on the past year, setting resolutions, and thinking about the changes we want to make. It is a time for fresh starts, new goals and the promise of new beginnings. What if we told you New Year’s […]
As we enter the Christmas season, a time that celebrates love, family and the birth of our Saviour, we know that for many this time of year can also bring feelings of loneliness and isolation. The holidays are often associated with gatherings and joy, but for some, they can serve […]

Temptation is inevitable. Even Jesus was tempted, yet He did not give in. As we approach Christmas, there is a temptation to overspend, overeat, overindulge and the list goes on.
