What could the outcome of a council of bishops held in 325AD in Nicea possibly teach us about being Christians today? And yet, we still live in a time of heresy when those who are either wrong-headed or looking to lead us in the wrong direction are trying to convince us to follow them instead of Jesus, our true saviour.

Join Nathan and Nick as they speak with Doctor Nicole Starling, a history professor from Morling College, who exudes an infectious enthusiasm for her specialty. No doubt you'll be wanting to learn more about the traditions of faith after listening to this fascinating episode!

There's been a bit of a stir in Christian media over the last year or so as certain American authors have attempted to suggest that it's wrong to feel empathy for others, especially those who find themselves in difficult places.

Nathan and Nick once again meet with Pastor Jon Owen of the Wayside Chapel in Sydney to ask important questions about the balancing act that all Christians find themselves in when dealing with the circumstances of others that don't conform to certain traditional moral views.

What does Jesus have to say about this? What responsibilities do Christians have to help others? Is it ever okay to just walk away when someone is in need? Is the idea of empathy being toxic just political posturing?

Listen in as Nathan, Nick and Jon wrestle with this latest topic on The Balancing Act.

In the blink of an eye, everything can change. Five years ago Pastor Grant Wilson of Kiama Baptist Church was enjoying mountain biking with his family when the unthinkable happened. Since that moment, he and his family have been challenged in ways that they could never have imagined.

Join Nathan and Nick as they explore with Grant the concept of suffering, anger with God and incredible spiritual growth. There are no easy answers, but God is faithful through the darkest of journeys.

Do Christians fear theology? Does theology lead to a lack of spiritual enthusiasm? Does an emphasis on feeling lead to a shallow faith? Are Bible colleges the only place where theological education can be encountered? Is there any balance to be found on this issue?

Join Nathan and Nick as they speak with Morling College principal Dr Tim MacBride about the topic of theological education and how it should be found from the top to the bottom of the Christian life.

According to apologist Dave Deane, we have to "choose our absurdity" - we must either accept the absurdity of death, or believe that Christ died and rose again.

In the lead up to Easter, Nathan and Nick welcome Dave Deane back to the podcast to discuss Christ's resurrection, including the major arguments for and against. Enjoy this deep dive into the trilemma of Christ's triumph over death and the hope this gives to all!

It would seem logical to think that belief in Jesus continues a slow decline across all age groups in Australia, but is it really? Are recent trends in the UK and US amongst young people returning to church also reflected here? Is this apparent about-face sincere, or merely a nostalgic yearning for a Christian-like culture?

You've likely heard or read the term "Generation Alpha" over the last few years. In our second episode this season, Nathan and Nick are blessed to speak to the originator of that label, Dr Mark McCrindle; demographer, futurist and author; a man with his finger on the pulse of what is currently happening and is likely to happen down the track in Australia. If anyone can help us differentiate between wishful thinking and the truth, it's Dr Mark McCrindle!

The Christian world was recently rocked by Philip Yancey's admission of an extramarital affair. This seems to happen over and over again to men and women in leadership. How should we respond to news like this? How should we view the work of those who have fallen? Where should our real faith be placed? Nathan and Nick dig deep on these questions and more in this thought-provoking first episode of season 2!

"You can't preach a crucified King with a clenched fist," says Dave Deane of Questioning Christianity. It can be confronting to speak up on behalf of the faith, but when we do, it needs to be in a way that is different from the rest of the world. Nathan and Nick delve into the world of Christian apologetics in this episode, talking with Dave about the art of defending Christianity without being defensive. Taking a leaf from Tim Keller, Dave suggests that we offer a third way for people rather than giving in to anger. Instead of fighting fire with fire, we should be using living water.

Whether you're just at the beginning, or you've been married for decades, leave the taboos at the door and join our intrepid crew for an honest and honestly joyful conversation about good sex.

Back in June, 2025, Nathan and Nick spoke to Jon Owens, the pastor of the Wayside Chapel in Sydney. It was a wide-ranging and fascinating conversation that got our hosts mulling over three critical ideas that affect the modern Church. The main question is though: has the Church abdicated its responsibility to serve those who are marginalised? Have a listen to get all of Nathan and Nick's thoughts on this topic.
