Prof Dion walks us through what it means to be in Unity as the Body of Christ; unity in purpose and unity in love.

Prof Dion takes a look at Matthew 25:34-40 and says it can be a challenge to be ‘free’ with our time, our resources, and our space, particularly when we feel under pressure, under-resourced, or under appreciated. How do we follow Jesus’s call to radical hospitality in this wonderful new year?

Prof Dion joins us from Germany in this edition of his Advent conversation, as we highlight the 3rd Sunday in Advent and focus on the Joy of Christ.

Prof Dion walks us through the 2nd part of Advent, as we reflect on our need and desires for peace and that can only be found in the person of Jesus.

It is the start of Advent and as we are preparing to celebrate the coming of Jesus our King, let us focus on the Hope that God gives in Christ. It's all about hopeful anticipation.

Prof Dion talks about 'discovering true freedom' by keeping our eyes fixed firmly on Jesus and focus on Hebrews chapter 2 and 12.

Prof Dion shares a message to encourage our listeners to cultivate a love and hunger for God’s word, and also to be spiritually discerning about the power of ‘our words’ and the ongoing importance of ‘words of wisdom and prophecy’.

1 Nov is traditionally celebrated as ‘All Saints Day’ - that can be a bit of a mind bender for many contemporary Christians! There are some who are concerned about the veneration or Saints (an old Catholic tradition), and of course some who are concerned about the focus on remembering those who have died.

Prof Dion chats about All Saints Day, and why it is important for Christians to remember the faithful sisters and brothers whose lives are an example to us.

Dion joins us out of Germany to walk us through what it means to be a mentor, or to be mentored. He looked at 2 Tim 4:9-13 and helps us to believe that we all have a place to mean something to someone.
