Not perfect, just real (1)
‘It is by grace you have been saved, through faith.’ Ephesians 2:8 NIV
A perfectionist seeks to achieve nothing less than perfection.
Dorothy Littell Greco writes: ‘I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember…I had to get A’s, had to win, and had to please everyone. Every mistake or perceived failure unleashed a torrent of self-condemnation…Perfectionism often [comes from] insecurity and a faulty understanding of grace. During the first few years…parents are meant to communicate through their words and actions that we’re…lovable, even though we do nothing to earn that love…But not all of us were the beneficiaries of such parenting. Many of our needs were met with frustration or even anger, which we interpreted as, “There’s something wrong with me.” When that’s the case, over time, shame creeps in…[and] distorts our understanding of our self-worth. The voice of perfectionism increased when I started following Jesus. I feared being judged and…excluded, [which] motivated me to prove my worth to my fellow Christians. Though I believed, theoretically, that I was saved by grace, I lived as if I had purchased salvation on credit and was accruing an enormous debt. I [lived] as if Jesus would tear up our “salvation contract” the moment I made a mistake. As I began to understand that pride and a fear of mankind were driving my perfectionism, I confessed this as sin…[and] the chokehold started to loosen. Like the Samaritan woman at the well, I needed Jesus to break in and tenderly reorient me to his living water.’
You don’t have to be perfect to be a blessing to others – you just have to be real!

Every day, stories like John’s remind us why Rhema matters. 💚
Is your teen feeling the pressure of NCEA exams? You’re not alone, and there are ways to support them without adding more stress.
Wee-yeong joined us on Rhema Breakfast to share practical tips from his own parenting journey, including how “fake deadlines” can reduce last-minute panic, why listening matters more than lecturing, and how prayer can become a natural part of the support you offer.
Whether your young person is quietly anxious or visibly overwhelmed, this conversation is full of hope-filled, realistic advice for walking with them through exam season.
Watch or listen now and feel better equipped to help your teen thrive, full interview here: https://youtu.be/XhP6ghquDyQ
‘Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.’ Proverbs 4:7 NIV
Mentor Graham was so absorbed in evaluating the assignments he had given his students that he failed to notice the youthful giant who slouched into his classroom one day after school. After his eyes had adjusted to the brightness of the late afternoon sunshine, causing the husky young man to be in silhouette before him, he recognised the youth as a newcomer to the community. The young man already had a reputation for ‘whipping the living daylights’ out of all the local toughs. Graham would have been justified in thinking, ‘What does he want here? Am I in danger?’ Rather, he looked up and down the six foot, four inches of muscle and ignorance before him and offered to help the youth with his reading and studies. When the young man left the classroom an hour later, he had several books under his arm – on loan from Mentor Graham with a promise of more in the future.
There is a good chance that you’ve never heard of Mentor Graham, right? He was a quiet man, simply willing to do his best for any student who came his way. His pupil, however, became more famous. His name? Abraham Lincoln! Graham recognised in Lincoln a hunger for knowledge and a desire to learn, and took the time to invest in him. And as a result, Lincoln helped change history.
Solomon wrote, ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding’ (Proverbs 4:7 NKJV). And when you get it, don’t keep it to yourself – pass it on. Your greatest investment is in people.

A year out from the next central government election, and the Opposition appears to be imploding. Andrew Urquhart asked former MP Simon O'Connor for his insights.

Too much morning caffeine for our radio breakfast announcers? Nope😂 they just showed up to work referencing their previous FB daily question: “If you could have a fancy dress at your wedding, what would it be?”

Faith produces results (4)
‘[Abraham’s] faith and his actions were working together.’ James 2:22 NIV
Saying you believe is just the beginning; activating your faith means preparing for the answer to arrive. Ask yourself, ‘If I really expected an answer to my prayers, how would I prepare for its arrival?’ In Scripture, Jesus gave his disciples this parable: ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man…planted in his field…when it grows, it…becomes a tree’ (Matthew 13:31-32 NIV). The farmer may sincerely believe they can produce a mustard tree, but nothing happens until they choose the location, prepare the soil, plant the seed and continually water it. Once they do all those things, they can actively watch for its appearance.
So, where do you start?
(1) Pray for wisdom to make the right decisions (see James 1:5-7).
(2) Plan your work, and work your plan. Aimless, passive waiting for the things to materialise without thoughtful, active involvement will prove disappointing and fruitless. God uses you as his partner. ‘For we are co-workers in God’s service’ (1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV).
(3) Break your plan into small, accomplishable action steps.
(4) Don’t wait for the fear to go or the faith to grow. Be prepared to take calculated, productive risks. Feel the fear and do it anyhow!
(5) Start thanking God even before you can see the answer. And if you should miss the bull’s-eye, remember the Revolutionary War militia’s response: ‘Ready, aim, fire! Adjust your aim – and fire again.’
‘[Abraham’s] faith and his actions were working together’ (James 2:22 NIV). And that’s still the Bible formula for success.

Our Story
Rhema has been broadcasting to the people of New Zealand since 1978. Over the years, we have grown from one man's dream and a backyard studio, to become one of the country's largest radio networks, reaching thousands of people every day.
The first radio station in New Zealand to use satellite technology, we continue to break new ground at the forefront of broadcasting technology.
Rhema differs from commercial radio in that 30,000 New Zealanders unite with staff in changing lives for good by financially supporting the station, paying a yearly membership fee. These subscriptions, along with donations, currently make up the majority of our income. Our bottom line is changed lives.
Without the love, support and prayers of these people Rhema would not be what it is today.
