In this episode, Belle Tindall gets cosy and looks to make the mundane meaningful; Katherine Amphlett tells a very personal and poignant story of a grieving family finding solace and God's presence in natural beauty; on the anniversary of the conflict in the Middle East, Graham Tomlin urges the importance of loving our enemies and embracing a touch of doubt about the certainty of our moral case.
