  • Love this pod

    Love this pod - really thought provoking discussions in a way that is balanced but doesn’t shy away from difficult topics or controversial opinions. Favourite eps are the NHS one and the one about pastors and mental health, but they are all great. I really enjoyed the homeschooling episode, not something I had thought about. Thank you! Sad you’re not making them anymore.

  • Almost end of podcast review

    I just about cried(well not really) when Carry said the curtains would be closing after one more episode. Loved the solid biblical views. Loved the dynamic between cooper and carry. Loved the jingles.

    Heroes get remembered but legends never die.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#165 Power And The Church (With Mark Stirling)
Q: So what's the, there's probably not a silver bullet here, but what would you say to people who are just looking to try and grow in humility as a leader or as a Christian indeed?
Be known; expose your life to others. Sacrifice the desire for a good reputation, recognize that many who aspire to leadership seek esteem rather than genuine service.
#165 Power And The Church (With Mark Stirling)
Q: Can you talk a little bit about that aspect of Philippians 2, the pouring out and how that sort of maps onto the way that Christian leaders ought to behave?
Christian leaders should strive to emulate Christ's example of humility and service, using their position not for selfish gain but to serve others.
#165 Power And The Church (With Mark Stirling)
Q: To what extent has that informed the way you've written this book as well?
It’s essential to recognize that this book is about the biblical theological framework around power, acknowledging that both leaders and those they're leading can mismanage power.
REPLAY EASTER SPECIAL: #139 Did Jesus Descend Into Hell?
Q: What do we need to understand regarding traditional phrases like 'descended into hell'?
It's crucial to wrestle with these words and explore their meanings, especially as liturgical practices evolve over time.
REPLAY EASTER SPECIAL: #139 Did Jesus Descend Into Hell?
Q: Does it matter if Jesus descended into hell or to the dead?
