Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Worship, Ethics, Theology & Philosophy - Andrew Wilson
Q: How old do you think Mary was and was it okay for God to ask a teenager to have a baby?
Mary was likely in her mid-teens by cultural norms of her time, but the exact age isn't fixed; the emphasis is that God's choice transcends modern norms, and the miracle is framed within that cultural context rather than as a universal age standard.
Handling Messy Thoughts & Feelings - Jo Johnson
Q: How can a church community foster honest conversation about emotions without collapsing into dysfunction?
The guest emphasizes starting with self-awareness, practicing emotional honesty with trusted people, and creating spaces for unhurried, thoughtful dialogue that leads to healthier relationships within the body of Christ.
Handling Messy Thoughts & Feelings - Jo Johnson
Q: Jo, why did you write Disentangled and what do you hope readers take away?
Johnson explains that she wanted to address the gap between a believer's inner life and how the church often treats thoughts and feelings, offering a biblical, practical approach to acknowledge and shape inner life rather than suppress it.
The Twin Sisters of Church Planting - Alex Harris
Q: What are the core components you emphasize when starting a new church—vine and trellis, could you unpack that?
The vine represents prayer, people, and proclamation, while the trellis covers the plan, permissions, and pennies; start with vine growth to generate fruit, then establish a supporting trellis to sustain and scale the church.
The Twin Sisters of Church Planting - Alex Harris
Q: How do you decide which model to go for when planting in a particular town or area?
Decision is largely led by the people to be reached and the local context; a matrix helps assess leadership, community dynamics, and practical resources, with temple court suited for mass cultural contexts and house-to-house for relational, local networks.
