It's your destiny to listen to this episode... or maybe it's not... ?! Is that even possible?

Well, some things are meant to be. But how can you tell? And what about the big stuff - how do you know if you are doing what you're supposed to be doing? Can you get it wrong, and what happens if you do?

Nathan and Chris have all the answers in this episode. 

Join us as we discuss good news about your future, the plans God has for you, and everything to do with 'calling'. 

And of course, another instalment of, 'What do you reckon?' 

Have a listen, and then why not have a go discussing these things yourself.

Aaaaaaannnndd... we're back! Covid really got us sidelined there for a bit, but we're back and excited about it!

This episode we're talking about doubt.

- How does Jesus respond to our doubts?

- And what about church - is it okay to talk about doubts in our communities that are based on faith?

Nathan and Chris have a bunch to chat through in this episode and have a lot of fun doing it.

Another instalment of a mini-series on 'Dirty Words' - as in, words that should probably come up in conversation because they are important Christian themes, but they don't because they feel a little bit... dirty.

This week we're talking about an undeniably dirty word: wrath ("do you say 'wroth' or 'wrath'?")

In this episode Nathan and Chris get deep into wrath and justice and holiness and more. We hope this episode makes you want to talk about wrath too!!

PLUS!! The return of our favourite segment, 'What do you reckon?' 

Have a listen, and then why not have a go discussing these things yourself.

Welcome to the first instalment of a new mini-series on 'Dirty Words' - as in, words that should probably come up in conversation because they are important Christian themes, but they don't because they feel a little bit... dirty. 

This week we're talking about the dirtiest word: sin. 

In this episode Nathan and Chris don't just discuss how we approach the topic of sin, but model a real life chat about sin in their life.

Have a listen, and then why not have a go discussing these things yourself.

Should Christians be minimalists? It feels like a Christian thing, but is it?

Nathan and Chris chat about how the gospel informs our view of 'stuff' and whether it leads us to a life of minimalism or not.

Plus, we introduce a new segment called 'What do you reckon?' Check it out and let us know what you reckon! (Especially about the segment intro, even though I already know the answer and you love it)

We hope you enjoy this conversation.

We live in a time when we have never had more content and opportunity to grow in our faith. You're interested in a topic? There's a book for that. You've always wondered about how something works? A friend will point you to a podcast. If you can't find one, there'll be a course you can sign up for somewhere. But simply getting the content into us doesn't necessarily change us. 

- So how do we grow? 

- How does God change us, and how do we help make it happen? 

- What difference does Jesus make to the way we think about growing up in Him?

Nathan and Chris chat personally about how they approach growth - including the bits they struggle with and the bits that they see working too. Enjoy grace!

Do Christians automatically have to forgive everyone that wrongs them somehow?

Dealing with relational hurts is one of the most challenging parts of being a human. Nobody is perfect, so we're bound to get hurt at some stage, and probably do the hurting sometimes. So how do we work through that? This conversation is a stroll through some real life experience as well as  some key Bible passages that just might bring hope and healing if we can be brave enough to believe the good news about Jesus.
