In this episode, John-Mark sits down with Ryan Davidson, a Pastor and Professor in Pastoral Theology from the State of Virginia, to discuss the subject of the body and soul, the task of pastoral counselling, and the reformed doctrine of the means of grace. They delve into how physiological and neurological conditions might impact our spiritual lives and how Pastors ought to be confident in applying the Word of God, whilst being sensitive to the impact that physiological conditions have upon the human mind. How are we to think about mental illness as Christians? Why are the means of grace so fundamental to every believer, whatever their situation? How does the fact that we are composed of both body and soul impact our Christian lives? These questions are discussed, alongside many others...

In this episode Jonny and John-Mark discuss why it is appropriate to draw logical deductions from texts of Scripture which contain more ideas than one within them. They argue that Jesus read the Bible like this and that the language of 'Necessarily Contained...' that is found in the Second London Baptist Confession is both sound and orthodox. John-Mark also gets Alexander Armstrong (a British Radio Host) mixed up with Neil Armstrong (the great space explorer).
