Apologies to anyone who was expecting or hoping for a new episode to release this morning! We’ve decided to take a short break over the Easter school holidays to give us some time to rest and be with our families. We hope you are all well. As always, rest in Christ!

It's Good Friday!! We thank God for each one of you. Let's remember that on this day in ancient Israel, hanging from a tree, Jesus declared "It is finished!"

Upon that word hangs all the hope of humanity and all the assurance we need. All the sin of all my life was laid on Christ for my salvation. Drink in his acceptance, love, and mercy afresh today.

God bless you all!

In this episode we are joined by Andre as we discuss the doctrine of God. Webster once said that theology is the knowledge of God and all things in relation to God. What we think of God is the most important thing about us.

Today we delve into the attributes of God and take a whistle stop tour of God's incomprehensibility, aseity, simplicity, immutability and impassibility. None of those words make sense to you? Don't panic!! Join us to find out, and have your mind and heart expanded by the God who fills all in all.

New episode out now!!
Yep, Tolkien has a lot to teach us about God, heaven, and Christ's work in the world...

19/03/2024

In today's episode we have special guest André from the 'Two-Age Sojourner' speak to us about the importance of Tolkien and fantasy for a disenchanted world. What was supposed to be a quick 10 minute intro became a nerd-sesh on Middle Earth!!

Ever since the enlightenment, the world has become grey, glum and gloomy. Everything feels natural and secular. We live in a disenchanted world, and it has led to a great deal of anxiety and despair in our world today. How can we rectify disenchantment? It could be that what we need more than ever is a re-enchantment of the world through fantasy, myth and storytelling. Join us for a 'eucatastrophe' as we delve into Tolkien's importance of imagination, the beauty of friendship and courage, and the need for a King who will bring ultimate rest.

Episode 11 completes our tour of TULIP. This is the fourth and final installment of our series on the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as Calvinism).

In this episode, we discuss perseverance of the saints, and cover a number of questions like… What do we do when our heroes abandon the faith? How can I know that I won’t fall away? Where can I find the motivation to keep running the race?

Here within this doctrine, we uncover the soothing balm of Christ in His loving preservation of His people. God saves from start to finish. He will not lose His own.

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!!

Episode 10 continues our tour of TULIP. This is the third installment of a four part series on the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as Calvinism).

In this episode, we discuss limited atonement and irresistible grace. What they are, where we find them in the Bible, and why they provide rest and assurance for God's blood-bought people. We can have confidence in Christ because his death achieved everything it was intended to achieve: redemption for a specific people for the glory of his name. And those who are purchased at the cross find themselves drawn by the Spirit's cords of love in time and space. Tune in to find your heart swell with joy in the gospel!

This week we discuss limited atonement and irresistible grace.

Irresistible grace you may be ok with... but limited atonement...? Didn't Jesus die for the whole world? How can the atonement be limited? Can I say that "Jesus died for me?"

Tune in tomorrow as we have a conversation about the single most controversial point in TULIP (it's better news than you might think!!)

Episode 9 continues our tour of TULIP. This is the second installment of a four part series on the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as Calvinism).

In this episode, we discuss Unconditional Election. What it is, what it’s not, as well as the comfort it can provide to the believer. We also spend a little bit of time unpacking some of the common objections brought against this doctrine. Overall, the thrust of this episode is to show that Unconditional Election means that God’s love, affections, and choice of us are not dependent on our successes and failures, but are rooted in a surer foundation.

Episode 8 is the beginning of our tour of the infamous TULIP. Here we dive into the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as Calvinism).

In this episode, we discuss Total Depravity: what it is, why it's humbling, and why we need to recapture it in the church today. Total Depravity means that we're totally dependent on Jesus for salvation.

Do you have an allergic reaction to Calvinism? Does it seem to be wielded as a weapon by arrogant know-it-alls? And doesn't it make God into a moral monster?

Whatever your views on Calvinism, tune in to tomorrow's episode as we begin a four week series looking at the infamous TULIP. It's better news than you think.... And you may just find yourself leaping for joy!!

Episode 3 continues our conversation on the kinds of people that Jesus chooses. We’ll explore how the truth of God’s word shatters our expectations of finding heroes and holy examples throughout the pages of scripture.

In this episode, we’ll take a journey through the lives of Moses, Israel (the nation), and David. And there we will see a people, who are not high and mighty, but weak and failing. And from this vantage point, we behold the grace of God.

If you're a believer and someone asks you, "Who are you?", how would you respond? Most of us would be tempted to say, "I'm a Christian." But how would Paul and the early church have answered that question?

In tomorrow's episode we discuss the heart of Christian identity which is our union and participation in Christ himself.
