  • Loved it for years! But…

    I can’t find a way to email anyone and need to tell you I have listened to every episode. I love this. I am a subscriber.

    I have become very frustrated with the quality of the podcast. More often than not, one of the speakers is muffled and muted. Sometimes it it perfect. PLEASE GET THE AUDIO FIXED.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Christians serve in the Military? Was the Church of England Founded on a Scandal? | N.T. Wright
Q: What do you think is the best image for the new creation, and what ties all the different images together?
Tom Wright identifies temple and marriage as foundational images. Temples represent heaven and earth meeting, while marriage points to their union and to Christ and the Church; other images of renewal gather around these themes.
Can Christians serve in the Military? Was the Church of England Founded on a Scandal? | N.T. Wright
Q: How am I to reconcile my views, what I believe to be godly motivations for military service, with the fact that actually serving in the military could result in me having to go against my values as a Christian?
Mike Bird describes several Christian approaches, from refusing military service to serving in non-combat roles or taking up arms in a just war, and warns of moral ambiguity and trauma. Tom Wright advises prayerful discernment with trusted Christians, considers military force potentially legitimate to protect vulnerable people, and urges peacemaking and continued reassessment of one's vocation.
Manufacturing the Millennium, Assurance of Salvation & Could Sin Return in the New Creation?
Q: What kind of progress can we expect here before the kingdom comes in its fullness?
Wright says Christians should not claim to build the kingdom or expect steady visible progress. They are called to live as kingdom people through faithfulness, mercy, peacemaking, and care for others; God will bring those acts into their full meaning in the new creation.
Manufacturing the Millennium, Assurance of Salvation & Could Sin Return in the New Creation?
Q: Is there a biblical way of thinking about assurance?
Wright says that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing God raised him from the dead are signs of belonging to God's family. Justification by faith provides assurance, while baptism and the Eucharist remain meaningful signs of grace when practiced within genuine faith and obedience.
Is Christianity making a comeback? Ananias & Sapphira and church unity
Q: A Calgary listener asks what unity and love look like in practice within diverse church communities and why unity is essential according to Jesus' wishes.
The hosts argue that unity involves embracing diverse expressions of church while maintaining core Christian commitments, citing Romans 14-15 and John 17 as foundational texts for a reconciled, mission-focused community.
