11: What Does It Mean To Be Well? // Marjorie Allan with Dr Mary Wren

Wise Lives — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 17:02:50 +0000

People’s mental health is now widely acknowledged and is an important conversation within the church. As many of us struggle with health issues at times of our lives, how can Christians live towards wellness both of body and soul? What are some biblical keys towards health? Can renewing our minds and emotions (Romans 12:2) help with our physical symptoms? Dr Mary Wren, a General Practitioner doctor in the UK, shares some of her journey of discovering the overlaps between medical and supernatural healing.

Dr Wren is a co-presenter of a new resource for the Christian church: a short-course called ‘Keys to Health and Wholeness’ produced by Freedom In Christ ministries. The whole course is free online. You can find out more here, and watch a introductory 1-minute video. https://freedominchrist.org/health

Thu, 06 Feb 2020 13:00:00 +0000

Sorry for the background noise on this one but if you could please pretend you're in a pub, listening to friends speaking then that will probably help the experience along nicely.

500 Together want as many people as possible to sign up and pay £1 per week by standing order to a central pot. When they hit £500 they will give that money out to one or more of the worthy causes that paying members choose to nominate. This could be the full £500 or part thereof. The aim is to get to the point where they will give out £500 every single week.

They can be found on social media:

https://www.facebook.com/500Together/
https://twitter.com/weR500Together
https://www.instagram.com/sheffield500together/?hl=en

SDP 49: Phil Parkin from Content OD on creating a more sustainable, climate-friendly agency

Sheffield Digital — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 10:15:00 +0000

Episode 49 of the Sheffield Digital Podcast features an interview with Phil Parkin, co-director of Content OD, a content agency that’s making changes they hope will benefit the environment and be good for business.

Content OD produce videos, social campaigns and all manner of content. We speak to Phil about how the company got started and his own journey from learning his craft in the US to leading the team at Content OD alongside wife and business partner, Anna Parkin.

We also ask Phil about the company’s decision to spend 2020 taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint. They are putting measures in place that will be good for the environment, improve sustainability and hopefully have a positive effect on the team too.

Finally, we speak to Phil about what it’s like to be a digital business based at Park Hill, as well as its ongoing redevelopment. Content OD are one of a number of digital companies that do business from Park Hill, but do we talk about that fact enough?

This is a great episode for anyone who wants to try and fight the climate crisis by making small changes in the workplace. Go and get your headphones and enjoy yourself silly.

Breaking the Class Ceiling

Fri, 31 Jan 2020 10:00:00 +0000

In 2018, socio-economic inequality in the television and film industry became National news, when the Panic! report revealed that the industry was becoming less welcoming to talent from working class backgrounds. Much lip-service was paid to improving access in the months that followed, but what has really changed in a year? Our panel of filmmakers and commissioners discuss their experiences of making it in the industry without connections, a trust fund or private school education.

Chaired by journalist and broadcaster Danny Leigh with Fiona Campbell (Controller of BBC3), filmmakers Paul Sng, Billie Porter and Victoria Musguin-Rowe, and journalist Kieren Yates.

The session was produced by Victoria Musguin-Rowe.

Episode 10 of the Inspiring Adventure podcast, this week Rae is joined by the award winning YA author Sarah Mussi.

Sarah grew up in the Cotswolds and spent fifteen years in West Africa, so she’s no stranger to adventure and exploration. She writes thrillers and fantasy for both children and young adults, and she and her books have received much acclaim: second place in the BBC Worldwide Children’s Talent Fiction Award, the Glen Dimplex Children’s Book of the Year, and shortlisted for both the Branford Boase Award and the Lewisham Book Award. We’re eagerly awaiting the publication of Sarah’s next book, Here Be Wizards, which will complete the Snowdonia Chronicles. This trilogy follows Ellie Morgan’s adventures in the remote and mythical Snowdonian landscape; the search for true love, battles of good and evil, spells and potions, dragons, legends and the Fae lands.

Here be Wizards is due out on 6 February, so do grab the chance to pre-order for a 20% discount by heading to shrinebell.com or v-publishing.co.uk before next week! If you haven’t already got the first two books in the Snowdonia Chronicles trilogy, Here be Dragons and Here be Witches, I’d recommend you get them while they’re on 2 for 1 on the Vertebrate Publishing website.
