We have been told there is great value to readingthe Bible. Unfortunately, we are not taught how to read the Bible. Rarely are we given a framework or foundation on how to nderstand it. Some say it is inspired or infallible. How then do we approach reading it? Enjoy this conversation as we unpack this topic and perhaps offer hope to those who strug…

Watch Today’s Episode on YouT…

Can we ‘barter’ with God to get him to do stuff for us? Can we earn favour or fall out of favour with God because of our behaviour?’ If I do ‘A’, then God will do ‘B’.

The ‘Bible’ is a complex collection of writings. Some view it as ‘a handwritten by God’ document, while others view it as a collection of writings telling the stories of certain people groups. (as well as many other perspectives) So how can we find a more ‘hope-filled perspective to read and understand this ancient literature? Enjoy this important …

The ‘image of god’ most of us have been served at best is ‘incomplete’. Some of the images are flat out misguided and wrong. None of them are 100% accurate. We have so much to learn about ‘who’ God is and I have a hunch this conversation will be helpful and therapeutic for those who have been raised with an ‘angry god’ complex. Enjoy!! Watch Today’…

Metaphysical - A view of, or how you relate to the unseen world. Does It Matter?’ Our perspective on what this means matters!! Most of us have not been introduced to this and yet we have.

Let’s not ‘write’ Jesus out of our beliefs. How can we unlearn ‘incomplete’ understandings of who Jesus is without deleting him completely? Today’s conversation will be an encouraging one.

Our understanding of ‘who’ God is, and our understanding of how deep the love of the Trinity is for you, for me, will have a direct connection to ‘how we read and understand’ the Scriptures. When difficult topics arise from how we read certain texts, they must be understood or studied through the lens of God’s love, not cultural theology. Enjoy! Wa…

The topic of ‘divorce’ has been a contentious one in many church circles.

Enjoy this meaningful con…

Have you ever had a sense that something is true but you are not sure?

Listen in and see what you think! Enjoy!! Watc…

We are told we must ‘love one another’ but what if we disagree with choices people make, or hurtful things are done intentionally?

Have you ever really thought about ‘what is the Gospel’? What does that word mean anyway? What about the ‘real’ gospel, or the ‘full’gospel?

Enjoy these two visualpresentati…

Does God really have ‘favourites’?? Does He protect some and not others? Does He bless some and not others?
