In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk about another one of the Oasis 9 habits, this time being patient. From starting with a realisation, from being in a dentist's chair to understanding that life is not meant to be done continually at high speed, we explore how patience can be the teacher of wisdom.

The will help us to do life well. We see the great depth in the wisdom of slow. And we realise it is no wonder that St. Paul described that love is always patient.

This one was fun and deep all at the same time.

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk all about being honest. They talk about the ZOUD, the zone of uncomfortable discussion, and we try to understand why we sometimes dance around being honest and the overwhelming feeling of fearing disconnection from others if we choose honesty as our path.

And in a world where honesty can seem in short supply, we can't help but notice how dishonesty erodes trust. This topic matters. We hope this episode begins a conversation that you will feel able to keep going with your people too.

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke about what it means to be considerate. Strangely, it's a word that we don't hear or think about that often. But through their chat, we see that to consider is perhaps one of the most powerful ways to transform our way of behaving in the world.

To consider the other, to pay attention to, to have our eyes on the needs of others. It really does seem that it is the simple things that are the source of the greatest revolution, that is, to love others as ourselves.

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk about finding the joy, sharing the words of a friend who's described joy as basic to us as oxygen.

They discuss where we find joy and the way we cultivate being joyful in life. They seek to understand the difference it can make to us personally and also in our relationships.

And they go right back to basics when we recognise that joy exists in the most unexpected moments and places.

Gratitude is the seedbed for joy.

My name is Jill Rowe, and in this episode of the Different podcast, I talk with Steve Chalke all about rejection. This is a significant topic that evokes profound emotions. Together, we explore the difference it makes when we acknowledge the way rejection can make us feel, and we consider how we can find a way through it. We discuss discovering both a new way of seeing and a greater expansiveness to life.

This was an honest and open chat, and one that we both hope brings you some comfort, and perhaps a sense of renewal.

My name is Jill Rowe, and in this episode of the Different podcast, I chat with Steve Chalke about three more things we wish we could tell our younger selves. From winning looking like you're losing, to closing both eyes and seeing with the other one. This episode was so much fun to make; we hope and pray that, amongst our conversation, you are able to find a little bit of treasure that will help you.

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk about being self controlled, beginning with reminiscing about an old school assembly.

This is an honest conversation and one that takes us into so many areas of life.

We discover that being self controlled isn't solely about not doing certain things. It's also about choosing and being intentional, about living in a certain direction and making certain choices, knowing always that this is all a tender invitation, love always inviting us forward.

We hope this episode brings you some clarity and some life. It did for us.
