There are many things in our society that cause us anxiety and stress, and most of them we can’t do anything about.  Perhaps the uncertainty of a changing environment is adding to our tension, but while we can’t change the weather or control the economy, we can choose how we respond to stressors.  

Today John Cowan talks about Seasonal Affective Disorder and some effective strategies to tackle the winter blues.  

Lauren Parsons looks at change in the workplace and gives some tips on how to front-foot some of the challenges.  

Finally Brook Turner examines what it means to have a 'poverty of spirit' - how we can best respond to that in ourselves and others - and why Jesus considers such people blessed!
