Bad Bunny Hates Space Trash (and you should too!)

Allegory, Worship and the Preacher’s Heart – with Tim Brown, Brian Daly and Heath Hardesty
In this rich and reflective conversation, Tim Brown, Heath Hardesty, and Brian Daly answer questions from attendees and discuss the spiritual dynamics of sermon preparation. Together they explore how worship, prayer, and delight in Scripture form the heart behind preaching that reveals rather than merely informs.Tim shares how Psalm 29 inspired his allegory comparing sermon preparation to the formation and venting of a storm – a vivid picture of how preaching can humble, refresh, and awaken new vision. Brian speaks about cultivating intimacy with God so that the preacher delivers a word received in worship, not a performance shap...

Ep 6 - Lengthening the backs of the thighs, flexibility in the hips
Thanks for tuning into Mike’s Yoga Podcast. Today, we’re working on opening the backs of the thighs and bringing flexibility into the hips. You’ll need two yoga bricks to help you find the required action. If you have a bad back, you should practice caution in forward bending; avoiding coming forward too far. You can bring your hands onto a wall or a windowsill in uttanasana to prevent overworking a sensitive back. Nonetheless, you can still benefit from forward bends, even if you keep the torso at a right angle to the floor. We’re practicing AM Svanasan...

Ep 4 - A focus on the breath.
Thanks for tuning into Mike’s Yoga Podcast. Today, we’re going to focus on the breath - the rising action of the in-breath and and falling action of the out-breath. We’ll be doing A.M Virasana (the forward extension), AM Svanasasa (dog-down), uttanasana (standing forward bend), trikonasana (the triangle pose) and prasarita padottonasana (wide-legged pose). When we focus on breath activity, it has a calming effect on the brain. Breath work can temporarily slow down your reactions, so be aware that your responses may be a little slower than usual for a short while after the session. So if you...

Ep 3 - Vrksasana - The Tree
Thanks for tuning into Mike’s Yoga Podcast. Today, we’re going to look at the Tree Pose (aka Vrksasana). We’re going to explore the stability of the standing leg by focusing attention towards the heel of the standing foot. We’re also going to do Prasarita Paddotanasana - the wide-legged forward extension. You might need some blocks for underneath the hands if you can’t reach the floor: the aim is to keep your legs and your back straight in this pose. You should be in good health - that doesn’t mean that you need to be flexible: th...
