Julia Grace joins Lizzie on Afternoon Praise to talk about keeping joy alive in our everyday work. From a flight to Dunedin decades ago to a bright yellow front door, Julia shares why our brains normalise the extraordinary through hedonic adaptation, and offers a simple tool, Reflect, Select and Celebrate, to help us notice and hold onto gratitude for the things we once dreamed of. A warm, practical conversation about shifting from "I have to" to "I get to". | SANCTUARY SOCIALS ▶ Visit our WEBSITE: https://yoursanctuary.nz ▶ Follow us on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/yoursanctuary.nz/ ▶ Join our FACEBOOK Page: https://www.facebook.com/yoursanctuary.nz

Pastor Paul Sawry talk about those moments when you sense God nudging you to say or do something, and the fear, awkwardness, or busyness that so often gets in the way. Paul shares a raw personal story from a Christian festival, Nerida shares her own regret from a roadside moment, and together they unpack what it means to recognise the Holy Spirit's prompting and respond with courage next time. | SANCTUARY SOCIALS ▶ Visit our WEBSITE: https://yoursanctuary.nz ▶ Follow us on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/yoursanctuary.nz/ ▶ Join our FACEBOOK Page: https://www.facebook.com/yoursanctuary.nz

Pastor Paul Sawry joins the Morning Sanctuary to unpack what evangelism really looks like when it's done with gentleness and respect. Drawing on 1 Peter 3:15, Paul shares a moving story from planting a new church, where a simple act of kindness (giving out free coffee in a marketplace) opened the door to a powerful moment of prayer with a stranger going through immense grief and loss. Content note: this episode includes a personal story referencing bereavement and the loss of a loved one.
