All of us get angry at times. Is it ever justified? Is letting off steam a good enough excuse? How do we think spiritually about what is going on physiologically?

We live in an age where we can browse online articles and listen to talks about the Bible from pretty much anywhere in the world, and we can just read the Bible by ourselves and discuss it with our friends and family.  So why do we need preaching?  A half-hour or so monologue by a […]

This is the first in what will be an ongoing series within the Ordinary podcast on ordinary apologetics. Josh is a self-confessed apologetics nerd, but there are good reasons for that fact. Like countless others, he’s been really encouraged in his faith, and has seen massive benefits in his ability to share his faith with […]

How would you define yourself?  Well, if you’re a Christian, then the Bible teaches that a key part of your identity is your union with Christ.  But maybe you’re not sure exactly what that means?  And how it connects with our everyday lives? Luckily we have two pastors on hand to help us understand who […]

As upstanding Christians, do we admit our faults, our weaknesses and our sins?  When should we confess?  Should we ever remain quiet?  We’re talking about brokenness on this week’s episode. We consider some instances of brokenness in some of the great biblical characters in the New Testament, and we talk about Josh’s approach to singing […]

This episode is all about the lies we believe. We're not really talking about doctrinal missteps, or historical errors to do with biblical stories. We're talking about those more subtle narratives which sneak into our subconscious and impact the way we think and behave - even things we might know to be lies in theory, and yet they creep back into our minds in the day-to-day.

This week we’re talking about the sensitive issue of pornography. We talk about the change that has taken place over the last few decades in both the accessibility and acceptability of pornography. We talk about the differences between the secular and Christian views on whether these changes are a good thing or a bad thing, […]

In this episode we discuss "Love Thy Body", a Christian book which critiques a secular world view which facilitates, excuses or even encourages certain actions or behaviour which the Bible seems to be against. So we talk about how our view of the body, and of what constitutes a person, might impact our views - particularly when it comes to things like sexual ethics and abortion.

This week's podcast is the second in a series of two podcasts on sovereignty. We're picking up the conversation where it left off last time, so if you haven't listened to last week's episode then go back and listen to that before you listen to this one.

Over the next two podcasts we'll be talking about God's sovereignty. Graham and Mark recently delivered a series of sermons at Christ Church on the sovereignty of God and how that works out in the world. But this is one of those topics where there are a diversity of views held by different Christians, and so in these two episodes of Ordinary we are debating two views of sovereignty.
