Continuing in the legacy established in Season 1, the final episode is another examination of "Statements We Could Do Without"...but with a twist! Tim Whittaker from the New Evangelicals contributes his thoughts about the following statements we make that might need some evaluation:

* "Your not a Christian if you...."

* "The Bible is clear"

* "Hate the sin, not the sinner"

* "They're only human"

We so often hear in the Christian world, that relationship is at the core of faith. But how do we actually develop an intimate relationship with Him? Many Christians find this question really difficult to answer, because we've been doing the typical activities associated with relationship (Prayer, Reading the Word, Attending Church) for so long, without a great change in the connection we experience with Him. 

In this episode, Mel takes on some of the biggest Pink Elephants relating to this topic. With some thoughts to help you draw closer to God.

We presume that waiting is a barrier to what God really wants us to experience in life: the destination. But the scriptures show us many things about waiting and how critical it is to the process of deepening our faith.

Most people want more peace in life, whether they are Christian or not. But what exactly is peace, and how is depth effecting our experience of this incredible Christian concept?

We are told that we are free, but why don't we feel free? What don't we comprehend about scripture that could truly unshackle us? This is the question Mel explores, having desired true freedom herself. 

In this episode, Mel also talks about her past struggles with pornography. So be sure to listen to this episode without little ones around.

Spiritual Gifts are a beautiful blessing that God has given us. But often we are unable to experience the fullness of this gift. And why would that be?

In this episode, Mel talks about some critical missing pieces in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. With the hope that you are able to experience the blessing it was always meant to be to our lives and communities. 

This month in the Pink Elephant podcast Mel interviews Charissa Steffens to discuss the place of Prophetic ministry. Charissa herself is an exceptional example of stewarding the gift of prophecy and she discusses in this episode some of the challenges that prohibit believers from going deeper in the prophetic ministry. 

In this first ever interview on the Pink Elephant podcast, Mel interviews Dr Omar Djoeandy author of “Redefining Success According to Jesus”.

Dr Omar shares the scriptural foundation for success, providing great stories and examples along the way.

In the final episode of Season 1, Mel takes on a few common statements that are used in the Christian world that probably aren’t the most helpful.

What might be the impact to our faith with statements like:

“Blessed to be a blessing”

“God is in Control”

On the 7th day of creation, God rested. God then initiates a rest day for His people, which they were to honour. But something has changed between then and now. Our society including Christians has gravitated toward an exceptionally busy lifestyle, devoid of rest. What is missing? How might there be more to this concept of rest?

This is the 3rd and final episode in the Holy Spirit series, where Mel shares some ways that you can grow in hearing the Holy Spirit give individual guidance. Mel talks hearing the Holy Spirit based on the inherent risks associated with each type, and how she mitigates such risks

In this second episode in the 3-part Holy Spirit series, Mel tackles the concept of the anointing. Whilst the concept mainly occurs in the Old Testament, in many churches today the anointing and the 'anointed' is still believed to be a Pastor or Leader chosen by God. Mel pokes some holes in this idea to demonstrate the true nature of the anointing and how it impacts our experience of faith.

There are many things missing when it comes to how we behave and cooperate with the Holy Spirit. In this episode, Mel starts a much needed conversation about the barriers that stand in the way of experiencing the fullness of the Spirit in this day.

We know that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ (Romans 8:1) But why do we still struggle with shame? In this episode, Mel gets deeper into the subject of shame and how you can be free of it

Christians seem to have a strange relationship with GUILT. They feel guilty for things they don’t need to, and often don’t feel guilty for things they should. Check out this episode to discover how guilt is preventing you from experiencing freedom in Christ.

In this episode, we explore the concept of ‘Oneness’. What is it and how does it change how we look at our relationship with God?

Pride and humility are two of the most discussed topics in the scriptures. It holds so much opportunity for growth and healing. And yet, it is not a common message in the Christian community. In this episode, Mel pulls apart these ideas and demonstrates the practical hope available to very believer.
