Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mark the storyteller: discipleship, challenge and revelation in the Gospel of Mark - Nov 2026
Q: What translation would be the best for us to be reading?
Gooder recommends reading several translations across the spectrum, from word-for-word to thought-for-thought, to see how translation choices affect meaning. Her default is the NRSV, but she also encourages readers to try versions such as The Message.
Mark the storyteller: discipleship, challenge and revelation in the Gospel of Mark - Nov 2026
Q: There's a constant refrain of, “don't tell anyone about what you've just seen.” Can you maybe help us unpack some of that and see how that fits in with, as you say, what happens at the end?
Gooder suggests Jesus restricts publicity because popularity constrains his ministry, and because the disciples might misrepresent his identity before they understand his mission. The instruction to tell after the resurrection reverses the earlier pattern, though the women initially flee in fear.
Trust in the media: A conversation with Richard Coles and Ayesha Hazarika - Oct 2026
Q: If trust in the media is being lost, what is needed to rebuild it?
Hazarika calls for truth, courage and media leaders committed to defending trust in the industry. Coles urges journalists to be bold while recognizing that legacy media cannot simply depend on nostalgia.
Trust in the media: A conversation with Richard Coles and Ayesha Hazarika - Oct 2026
Q: How do you think we're doing?
Hazarika says journalism has lost sight of the principles of producing work that is new, true and interesting, and that many people are turning away from mainstream media. Coles connects the loss of trust to challenges to shared ideas of truth and the effects of new technologies.
Faith, hope and courage: a conversation with Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani - Jun 2026
Q: What gives you hope, especially in the context of migration and displacement?
Hope is presented as a practiced virtue rather than mere optimism; it is rooted in daily faithfulness, communal support, and the belief that God's broader plan transcends present challenges. She stresses continuing to love and support one another and to participate in God's mission here and now while awaiting the fullness of the kingdom.
