Abide In Me Sam Welsby The A.I.M of this podcast is to help people form an intimate relationship with God and to answer the big life questions:- What was our origin?- Where can we find meaning and purpose?- How do we discern between good and evil, fact and fiction? - What is our ultimate destination? Many today are seeking these answers but not finding them. This is often because they are looking in the wrong places. All the guidance, wisdom, provision, love, forgiveness, hope and peace we seek can be found when we abide in our Creator. Before we can abide in Him, we need to know Him and also what He expects from us. "Abide in Me" was the message Jesus gave to His disciples before He left them. He knew that they would need to be close to Him, by abiding in His Word, if they were to be transformed and in turn transform the world. (John 15)I hope these podcasts open you up to learning about who Jesus was, what he taught and why we should abide in him.

I called it my 28-Day Flow Challenge. Since that time, I’ve led hundreds of highly creative people around the world--like YOU!-- in this simple process. I’ve been absolutely amazed by the results. Here’s the thing--you are already a Flow Expert.
