- Why Are We Struggling to Stay Engaged?Sunday morning worship services could become more engaging and inclusive by incorporating elements like discussion, meals, family-friendly activities, personal testimonies, and more music and praise, while maintaining a collaborative and respectful approach within the ecclesia.24 min
- Judah: A Story of Struggles and SalvationJudah's life serves as a cautionary tale of how deceit and unresolved family issues can perpetuate across generations. Growing up in a historically dysfunctional family, Judah repeats the same destructive patterns, culminating in selling his brother Joseph into slavery. His departure from the family/ecclesia fails to provide an escape, but his return provides a venue for his eventual transformation into a selfless man willing to sacrifice himself for his brother.25 min
- Loving As Jesus LovedJesus loved and accepted everyone, even those considered sinners or outcasts, showing compassion and healing their brokenness without judgment. We must follow his example by welcoming all with open arms, treating them as family, and striving to heal their hurts through compassionate action rather than 1condescension or pity.25 min
- Our Post-Pandemic Ecclesial MeetingsThe pandemic forced ecclesias to meet virtually, allowing geographically dispersed members to fellowship together online. While a blessing, online meetings lack the warmth and intimacy of in-person gatherings. Moving forward, a hybrid model combining in-person and online options could benefit isolated members while avoiding the dangers of impersonal virtual worship becoming the norm.23 min
- Why I am Not a ChristadelphianThere are potential dangers of identifying as "a Christadelphian”, such as hiding behind the group and diluting free will. The purpose of church should be facilitating each person's unique relationship with Christ, not conformity to rules, and the Christadelphian values of non-hierarchy and church autonomy support this individualism.27 min
- The Stars Speak: Chapter TwoThe ancient star names and constellation figures of the Zodiac appear to be a visual aid from God to communicate the gospel message. The names and imagery associated with each constellation connect with biblical passages and events, including Christ's birth, sacrifice, victory over sin and death, and return as conquering victor.27 min
- Union With GodThe Genesis creation story depicts God's desire for intimate union with humanity, male and female. Jesus as the Bridegroom offers a new covenant relationship, fulfilling this profound knowing.32 min
- A Time to DieDeath is an inevitable part of life, yet modern medicine raises ethical dilemmas about when and how life should end. Christian perspectives are explored on issues like fear of death, quality of life, autonomy, and how best to show compassion. Honest conversations are critical, recognizing that personal beliefs influence views on these complex matters.39 min
- Holy Living TodayHoliness involves being separate from impurity while dedicating oneself to God's service. It encompasses everyday life, not just religious activities. Balancing separation from sin with loving service to others is challenging but crucial for true discipleship.24 min

About Press On Journal
From the publisher's feed
Press On is a Christadelphian journal. We publish engaging perspectives, expressed with enthusiasm and love for other believers. Press On aspires to stimulate growth in the Christadelphian community…
by helping it draw strength from its diversity, following the spirit of 1 Cor 12, and Rom 12 — one body, made up of different parts, all of whom are dependent on each other. As in the first century, our community of faith can benefit from both progressive and traditional perspectives so long as they are explored compassionately and without factionalism. That is what we are trying to do. As a listener of Press On, you may come across perspectives you have not encountered before. Some topics you may immediately resonate with and be thrilled by. Others you might disagree with. Our goal is that either way, you come away without feeling talked down to and with something worth considering.
