While we can’t always choose our circumstances, we can choose how we respond. Even when we feel overwhelmed, exhausted or unsure of what lies ahead, we can trust God for the strength to take the next step. We don’t need to solve every problem or have the whole journey mapped out; we simply need to keep doing the next right thing. So, what if you’re where you are for a reason? Who needs you to show up, where do you...
Church should never be an exclusive club, but a place where people can encounter Jesus. Christmas provides a unique opportunity to invite friends and family to discover the hope, meaning and life that Jesus offers. Through Lifecentral’s Christmas events, we want to build trust, encourage people to explore faith and create opportunities for them to encounter Jesus in a way that could change their lives.
Speaker - Executive Pas...
For Above and Beyond Sunday, we explore how generosity helps us “keep the change” God brings into our lives. Generosity isn’t simply about what we feel but what we choose to do, even when it costs us. As we give, we can see our lives and the lives of others changed, turning what we have into something with lasting, eternal impact.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
What if God is real? How might that possibility change the way we live? Through the story of Peter, we see that we don’t have to begin with certainty—we can begin with curiosity. When Peter encountered Jesus, his view of God, himself and his future changed, leading him to trust Jesus and follow him. Baptism is a declaration that we’ve encountered Jesus, believe he is real, and are choosing to follow him—not ...
What Fills Our Soul?
Sometimes when our faith feels dry, we think we need to know more—but Jesus reminds us that we’re nourished not just by information, but by participation. As we step out of being consumers and become contributors, joining God in making an eternal difference, something comes alive in us too. We don’t have to have all the answers or do it all; we simply need to be faithful with the people God pu...
What happens when God’s grace is given to people we don’t think deserve it? In week three of Ghosting God, Leon Evans explores Jonah’s struggle with God’s compassion towards Nineveh — a people Jonah believed deserved justice, not mercy. Jonah was happy to receive a second chance from God, but angry when that same grace was extended to others. His story challenges us to consider who our “Nineveh&r...
Sometimes God doesn’t rescue us immediately because He’s doing something deeper in us. Rock bottom may not be where God’s story ends; it may be where we discover a fresh purpose and a new fragrance for our lives.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
In week one of Ghosting God, we explore the story of Jonah and what happens when we run from God instead of responding to him. Jonah’s story reminds us that ignoring God can take us further from where he wants us to be, but even when we run, God never stops moving towards us. Whatever storm we’re facing, the invitation is simple: stop running, turn towards God, and trust him with the next step.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Le...
The vastness of creation reminds us that although we are incredibly small, we are far from insignificant because the God who created the universe keeps us on His mind, knows us, sees us and cares deeply for us. Whether we are in seasons of joy or struggle, worship reminds us of what remains true: God is bigger than we can comprehend, and He has given us everything through Jesus.
Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock
Life doesn’t always go to plan, and sometimes the unexpected storms we face can shake everything we thought was secure. However faith isn’t about controlling the outcome or pretending we have no questions; it’s about trusting the person of Jesus, knowing that He can calm the storm around us, or sometimes bring peace within us even when circumstances remain unchanged. Ultimately, the invitation is to build our live...
Why do Christians sing so much about the name of Jesus? In the Bible, a name represents identity, character and authority—not just a label. While people often "name drop" to borrow influence, Jesus' name stands above every other because it reveals who He is and what He came to do.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
Our confidence in God's goodness is not based on an easy life but on His unchanging character. God's goodness is revealed through His patient mercy towards humanity, His unseen protection over our lives, and His faithful presence. Even in suffering and uncertainty, God remains good—not because life is always good, but because He is.
Speaker - Stuart Blount
Laura unpacks why Christians sing lyrics about graves, dry bones, resurrection and death, explaining that these songs are rooted in the central story of the Bible rather than strange religious imagery. They are reminders that Jesus continues to restore relationships, renew hope, heal brokenness and breathe life into every place we invite Him, calling us to live as people who carry His life and love into the world.
Speaker - Laura H...
We often sing words without fully understanding them, however we're invited to discover the rich truths behind the songs we sing; allowing biblical truths and theology to shape our faith through songs of praise, declaration and testimony. Worship transforms us, reminding us of our identity and renewing our hope even in difficult circumstances, just as songs sustained believers throughout history.
Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Ha...
Our true identity isn't found in our achievements, labels or the opinions of others, but in belonging to Jesus, who calls us by name. From that identity flows a God-given purpose—to know God and make Him known—rather than simply existing or chasing success. Following Jesus gives us an eternal hope that reaches beyond our failures, fears and even death itself. We are made for more.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
Whatever situations we may find ourselves in today, and how unbearable it might feel, God knows exactly where we are and still comes close, speaking hope, restoring perspective, and inviting us to listen for His voice that changes everything.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
While we often focus on the breakthrough, we rarely talk about the waiting in between—the silence of Saturday before the joy of Sunday. In those seasons of uncertainty, grief, and unanswered questions, we are called to be honest with God, keep showing up, trust Him when we don't understand, remain patient as He works in the margins, and listen carefully for His voice.
Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock
The loudest voice in our lives ultimately shapes the direction of our lives—not necessarily the loudest in volume, but the loudest in influence. We are challenged to recognise the voices shaping our thinking, adjust the volume by giving God’s voice the microphone, and use our own words to bring encouragement, hope, and freedom to others. Ultimately, God’s promise, “I will be with you,” becomes the loud...
Even when life feels confusing, painful, or unfair, God is still at work behind the scenes. When circumstances overwhelm us, or the story unfolding before us is not the one we expected, the key encouragement is that God never stops writing our story. What may feel like a dead end or a reason to walk away could be part of a greater narrative that God is revealing, inviting us to trust Him even when we cannot yet see the outcome.
Spe...
Then God remembered... Sometimes the greatest challenge is simply surviving the storm. God never forgets His people, even in seasons that feel silent, difficult or uncertain. Just because we cannot always see God working does not mean He has stopped working, and even after long seasons of silence, God is still faithful to His promises.
Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
