Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 722 Disrupting the Business of Worship (John 2:13-25)
Q: What do you make of the fact that Jesus uses a whip to chase out merchants?
I see it as an abrupt action aimed at communicating immediate change and urgency rather than inflicting harm.
Episode 722 Disrupting the Business of Worship (John 2:13-25)
Q: Have you ever been in a place of worship on a holiday and found things not like you think they should be?
Yes, I've visited other congregations and felt discomfort when their practices differ from my own.
Episode 702 Covenant and Sacrifice (Genesis 21:1-3 and 22:1-14)
Q: What does it mean for us to say 'God will see to it'?
It suggests that the provision is ultimately about God's oversight and care, possibly also hinting at an unfolding revelation.
Episode 645 The Fruits of the Spirit (Acts 2:1-4 and Galatians 4:1-7 & 5:13-26) PENTECOST
Q: What do you think about the tension in the world between the Spirit given by God and a person's selfish desires?
The life of the spirit is about not looking out for ourselves first, but about being guided to see the image of God in others.
Episode 645 The Fruits of the Spirit (Acts 2:1-4 and Galatians 4:1-7 & 5:13-26) PENTECOST
Q: Can you help us start thinking about what he's up to there?
Paul is pointing out that when you're a child who is an heir to something, there's potential for autonomy or power, but you don't have it yet, making you similar to a slave at that moment.
