Jesus Today

Andy and Thomas are joined by two teens who are following Jesus and loving being part of the Free Church of Scotland. Joanna and Nathan chat about their journey to faith, their love of the gospel and their excitement for the future.

Andy and Thomas are joined by Robert Cunningham and talk about the ethical issue that we rarely talk about but which Jesus mentioned the most: Money.

Andy and Thomas talk about how walking as disciples can often feel more like we are stumbling, and what we can do to help each other as we follow Jesus today. And they argue about whether fiction books are magnificent or terrible.

Dan Steel joins Andy and Thomas to discuss church planting. Dan is a pastor based in Oxford (UK), but with a background in church planting.

They talk about why church plants fail, and what failure means. With that in mind, what is a successful church plant? Why do we see church plants as a "restaurant" rather than a "family meal"? Thomas and Andy talk about their own experiences of ministry, too - and how difficult it can be to express times of challenge.

Dan references his paper in this episode. That, and more info about Dan, can be accessed here: https://plantingquestions.com/

Andy and Thomas are joined by special guest Hunter Nicholson. Hunter is a PhD candidate at Edinburgh University who has been studying Prof Macleod's life and theology. Andy, Thomas and Hunter reflect on the amazing contribution Prof Macleod made to the church in Scotland, and across the world.

In a special episode recorded at the 2023 General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, Andy and Thomas are joined by nine other ministers from across Scotland to talk about Jesus, to look ahead to the coming year, and to share memories of Prof Donald Macleod.

Andy and Thomas chat about anger - When is it righteous? When is it wrong? And what makes them angry?!

Urban or Rural? Andy and Thomas chat through the similarities and differences, the challenges and opportunities of following Jesus in an urban or a rural setting. Also, turns out we were both wrong about coffee!

We welcome special guest Joe Barnard to help us think through how to focus on Jesus in a day of information overload. And we debate coffee. And we find out who hates going to the gym!

You can find out more from Joe and follow a 40 day devotional available with his book at www.hymnworkouts.com.

Andy and Thomas talk through some of the challenges facing disciples following Jesus today as our culture's sexual ethic has moved far away from biblical teaching.  And they argue about windfarms.
