The Orchard

Rachel Hughes encourages us to put on our spiritual glasses and wake up to the spiritual battle going on around us. Are we going to fight with the weapons of the world and are we going to take our stand with divine tools that have divine power.

In the final episode of our 'Jesus Meets' series we look at the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8. Jesus demonstrates remarkable compassion for this woman by transcending every politic argument to dignify her. He steps into her shoes, takes her place and gives her freedom from her past and for her future.

This month we look at the story of the Canaanite Woman in Matthew 15. On first glance, it appears that Jesus speaks offensively towards her yet once again He's actually elevating this woman who has no social status but demonstrates a heart full of faith. Join us as we unpack themes of offence, desperation, faith and holiness.

Join us live from HTB Focus as we invite the incredible author and communicator Jo Saxton to unpack Jesus’ encounter with the bleeding woman in the book of Mark. We pray this episode would give you a fresh, deep revelation of the way Jesus sees and loves you today.

Join us as we invite Dr Lucy Peppiatt to unpack Jesus’ encounters with Martha in the gospels of Luke & John. Recorded live at Wildfires Festival, we pray that this episode will bring deeper revelation of who Jesus is and what that means for us as female disciples in the 21st century!

Did you know the story of The Woman at the Well records the longest encounter Jesus has with anyone recorded in the book of John? The way Jesus dignifies this woman is breath-taking! As we dive into this extraordinary dialogue, we pray you’d receive a fresh revelation of the grace, mercy and destiny Jesus is longing to pour into your life!

In this episode, we zoom in on Mary meeting the risen Jesus in the garden and discover that this encounter has so much to teach us about the way God wants to speak to us! Where and how does God speak to us? What does his voice sound like? How can we hear him more clearly?

This episode we’re looking at Joanna & Susannah from the book of Luke and how they model discipleship that’s marked by an encounter with Jesus. This encounter leads them to whole-hearted devotion, leading to their radical obedience and resulting in a remarkable legacy!

Introducing series two of The Orchard Podcast – “Jesus Meets”! Over the next few months we’re going to be exploring 9 unique encounters that Jesus has with different women throughout the gospels. What does each encounter teach us about Jesus? How can we learn from each woman? How can we be inspired by their faith and courage? Join us for episode one as we look at Mary the mother of Jesus!
