Many of us spend time pondering, even worrying, about God's will for our life. James and Nicole try to unravel some of the problems we create for ourselves in trying to discern what God wants for us, and wonder if it's not quite as complicated as we might think...

Oz and Nicole take a trip through the Bible looking at the concept of 'Missio Dei,’ ie. the Mission of God. We discuss the importance of seeing salvation as more than just saving individual souls and consider how even the Israelites can be understood to be missionaries.

In this episode, James and Nicole discuss the subject of the Image of God, an idea that appears in the opening chapters of the Bible. What does it mean to understand ourselves as being made in the image of God, and what has humanity's rebellion against God done to that understanding?

What is Pentecost? Is it just a New Testament event to be remembered about the coming of the Holy Spirit? Join Oz and James as they talk about the meaning and significance of Pentecost, surveying the Old and New Testament. Find out how the Holy Spirit transforms us as individuals to be his empowered witnesses and establishes us as God's community.

What do you think when you hear this word? Do you get excited or wonder why it even matters as the word ‘Trinity’ isn’t even in the Bible?! Oz and Nicole look at what the Bible says about God the Father, Son and Spirit and why the Trinity is such an important theological word for us to think about. They will help us see how as we grow in our understanding, our relationship with God will be transformed as we come to know the triune God of love more fully.

It’s an important question and to answer it Nicole and James look at codicology, paleography, and a lot of history (it’s more interesting than it sounds, we promise!)

Ever wondered how the Bible was put together and by whom? Nicole and Oz look at how the different works in the Bible came into being and how they ended up being collated into the book we know today.

What is the Kingdom of God and why did Jesus talk about it so much? Join James and Oz as they explore this topic and discuss whether we should be talking about it as often as Jesus did.

In this episode, James is our host and talks with Oz about what is at the heart of leadership. Unlike many of the examples in our world today we find biblical leadership is servant leadership. Join us as we dig into this theme, look at what the Bible says, share life examples and think about we can grow in our spiritual leadership whatever our context.

This is the first episode of our new podcast series Postcards From Antioch! This is an introductory podcast explaining a bit about the purpose of the podcast and why we think it is important.
