    Episode 200: Q&A with Esther & Steph: Am I Boy Crazy… or Just a Teenager?

    Welcome to our monthly Q&A with Esther and Steph. Today's question says:

    I am a bit boy crazy, and I really don't want to be. I really just want to enjoy my friendships with my boys. But my thoughts aren't going to give me that option.

    What should I do?

    Ooh, great question! Let's answer it on the podcast.

    Episode 199: From Pages High Academy - Shine with Purpose: The story of Dahlia

    Dahlia parked her car and began to pull out what she'd need for the day.

    "Hey Dahlia, need some help?" Dahlia looked up to see Adam, Kate and Jason heading her way.

    "Actually, that would be great," Dahlia smiled, piling their outstretched arms with a few boxes and bags, while she pulled her small trolley with more things.

    "I'm heading to the Home Ec. room," she said.

    "Hey, Dahlia, I just, um, wanted to say thanks for the tutoring club you volunteer at after school on Tuesdays. I got my maths test, and I passed. I don't think I've ever gotten a pass before," Jason laughed.

    "Oh, that's awesome! And you're welcome. I'm just glad I could help; I remember learning that in when I was in grade 10 and it was a lot," Dahlia smiled.

    "Yeah, thanks for always helping; it does mean a lot to us," Kate agreed. She'd been tutored in English, and her grades had improved too.

    "Aww, I'm so glad I love helping," she smiled.

    "Have fun with the Grade 8's this afternoon. I think my brother Eli has a crush on you." Adam laughed. He and his friends headed off to class.

    Dahlia shook her head, laughed and thanked them for their help in helping her carry everything.

    Welcome to our monthly Q&A with Esther and Steph. Today's question says:

    Episode 197: When Kindness Becomes Powerful: The Story of Dorcas
    • Hey GIGI girls,

      Welcome to a brand new year! We are super excited to be here with you - we hope this space is blessed and you walk away inspired and understanding the Bible a little more.

      Today we are looking at the story of Dorcas - you can find her story in the Bible in Acts 9: 36-42.

      Here is a sneak peek....

      -------------------------------------------

      The room was filled with grief. The widows cried. Everyone felt like their light had been snuffed out.

      They washed her body with gentle hands and lavender-scented oil. Then they placed her upstairs in a quiet room.

      But the believers were not ready to give up.

      They heard that the apostle Peter was in a town not too far away—Lydda. Two men rushed there, dust in their eyes, sweat drying on their skin from running in the sun.

      "Please," they begged. "Come quickly."

      Tune in to hear what happened next!

    Radio Episode 196: From Pages High Academy - Searching in Secret - Nic's story

    Nicolas had grown up in church. His great-grandparents had helped build the little church his family attended. His mother and sister led worship, his father was an elder, his older brother was the youth activity coordinator and his uncle was one of the treasurers. Everybody knew the Fletcher family "the faithful ones." And that was kind of the problem. Everyone assumed Nicolas already knew everything about the Bible. His youth class teachers called on him first. The younger kids idolised him. Even his friends joked, "If anyone's got a direct line to God, it's Nick!" He'd laugh it off, but inside, he felt uneasy. Because truthfully—he didn't have it all figured out. Not even close.

    Join us as we dive into the story of Nic - the modernised story of Nicodemus found in John 3:1-21.

    ALSO

    We did a mic roam and asked girls and guys your age if, as Christians, we have to know everything about the Bible.

    What did they say?

    Radio Episode 194: Midnight Faith: Nicodemus' secret visit

    Nicodemus stepped through the narrow streets, his sandals brushing against the cool stones. The scent of burning wood drifted from nearby homes. His heart pounded faster with each step.

    Finally, he reached the place where Jesus was staying. A soft light flickered inside — maybe from a small oil lamp. Nicodemus hesitated, then knocked lightly.

    Jesus looked up as the door opened. His eyes, calm and kind, met Nicodemus's. It was as if He already knew why he had come.

    "Rabbi," Nicodemus began, his voice trembling slightly, "we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. No one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."

    Jesus smiled gently. "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

    Nicodemus blinked. The words hit him like a rush of wind. Born again? His mind raced.

    This week we dive into the story of Nicodemus' secret visit to see Jesus - you can find the story in your Bibles in John 3:1–21.

    Nicodemus is mentioned in the Bible a few times - check the Bible references below.

    • John 3:1-21: Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews, secretly meets with Jesus at night, leading to their famous conversation about the need to be born again to see the kingdom of God.
    • John 7:50-51: Nicodemus interjects during a council meeting, reminding the other Pharisees that the law requires a person to be heard before being condemned, defending Jesus from their hasty judgment.
    • John 19:39-42: After Jesus' crucifixion, Nicodemus joins Joseph of Arimathea to care for Jesus' body. He brings a large amount of myrrh and aloes for the anointing and burial, which is a public act of reverence.

    Radio Episode 192: From Pages High Academy - Mia's Story of Gossip & Grace

    That night, Mia tossed and turned in bed. She scrolled through old photos—worship team pics, youth camps, moments where she felt seen and important.

    Now she felt… invisible. Replaced.

    She closed her eyes, trying to pray—but all she could hear was her own voice from earlier.

    "Why her?"

    "I deserve to be noticed."

    "I'm better than her."

    Suddenly, Mia felt a strange heaviness. Not on her chest, but deep in her heart.

    Like something had gone numb.

    Her chest tightened. She couldn't cry. She couldn't even pray properly. Her heart felt… cold. As if something inside had been covered in ice.

    Join us as we dive into the story of Mia - the modernised story of Miriam found in Numbers 12:1-16

    ALSO

    We did a mic roam and asked girls your age about racism or feeling left out.

    What did they say?

    Tune in to find out.

    Radio Episode 190: Don't Let Jealousy Steal Your Joy - The Story of Miriam

    Miriam collapsed to the ground. Her skin… was white. Snow white.

    It was like watching life being drained from her. Leprosy.

    Her hands were cracked, her face pale and covered in white blotches.

    She gasped. "What's happening to me?!"

    Aaron's face turned ghostly. "Miriam…" he choked, falling to his knees. "Dear God, no."

    He turned to Moses, who had just come running. "Please, brother! Don't hold our foolishness against us! We were wrong—we sinned! Please, pray for her!"

    This week we dive into the story of Miriam and her leprosy - you can find it in your Bibles in Numbers 12: 1-16.
