This week Cody and the crew interview Peter Fernance about wisdom. What is wisdom? How do we find wisdom? Where does it come from? Thanks for joining us on The Cross Discussion podcast. This episode wraps season 1! But we hope to be back with season 2 later this year. Please let us know: What have you enjoyed? What topics would you like to see discussed in future seasons? All the best, Shane on behalf of The Cross Discussion crew!

This week our hosts spend time with Stephen Gill asking the question, 'Why discipleship?' In churches we hear this word thrown around. Why is it important? Is it still applicable to us as young adults today? Will it help us to better understand your purpose and identity?

Story is what connects us. And in a world where we are feeling less and less connected, we are excited to bring you this episode. This week we are stoked to have Bethany and Tye come and share about life as newlyweds! Thank you so much for being so open and honest Bethany and Tye. We loved having you on The Cross Discussion!

This week we welcome Tracey Adams onto The Cross Discussion. What a story!? Tracey’s story, moving from South Africa to Australia, experiencing great churches and not so great ones has been huge. Thank you Tracey for sharing with us this week!

In this episode our hosts, Cody, Lexi and ... interview special guest Tim Cochran. And what an incredibly important topic! How do we hear God's voice? Producer's note: In my experience God speaks to me all the time, but do I listen properly? Thank you Tim and Cross Discussion team for having this discussion. Brilliant!

Our story is so important. It is what connects us and it is what creates community. This week we are privileged to hear the story of one of our hosts, Jayden. Thanks for sharing Jayden! We will have to do a follow up episode to see where you have gotten to!

This week, our hosts Cody, Bethany and Jacob interview local Councillor for district 9 - Mudgeeraba, Glenn Tozer! Fascinating discussion about how we can approach our vocation. As a politician, Glenn shares that being a Christian is not always easy. However, he believes that the gifts God has given him has led him to achieve his role in a way which brings life to the thousands of people he cares for. Thank you for taking the time out to come and spend some time with us Glenn! Producers note: From time to time we say things within the context of a podcast that we look back on and realise may not be entirely correct. Glenn makes a small comment during the podcast that people were never called Christians in the Bible. However through further discussion and research Glenn came to realise that there is a reference to people first being referred to as Christians in Acts chapter 11 and Glenn asked for this to be noted and corrected. I, Shane, as the producer of The Cross Discussion do not believe that this comment detracts from what is discussed during the episode. I hope that you would join me in my position, which is one of appreciating a person who can make a mistake and then humbly correct it, more than a person who doesn't join the discussion in the first place! May it encourage you, wherever you find yourself in your faith journey, to engage in spiritual discussion from a position of learning, openness, and humbleness no matter whether you have spent a few minutes or hundreds of hours considering matters of spirituality.

In this episode we explain why we have started this podcast and we intro the topic we have decided to tackle in season 1: Purpose and Identity! Yeah, we would love to say that we have all the answers and we have everything together. But the reality is we don't! So in this season we have invited a bunch of guests; people we respect to speak into our lives about purpose and identity. We hope you are encouraged to explore these questions with us!
