The Key

In this episode of the Little Key, I'm joined by my eldest daughter to talk about a verse she's meditating on -- Jeremiah 29:13. How is seeking after Jesus similar to a garden? Join us to find out!

Wondering about the beauty of the world, followed by a winding visit to the Trinity, person of Christ, heresy, and the Holy Spirit. Who do we worship? And what's the nature of salvation?

Continuing our exploration of what it means to be human, how do we understand the fall and approach the problem of evil? This episode considers St Augustine's "privation theory" as the entry point to conversations about the fall, evil, and the Goodness of God. Tune in for a birthday surprise too!

In this episode, we're taking another look at humanity, this time as objects to be known and engaged with. As both Spirit and Body, how should we think about ourselves and others as objects? How might a focus on our physical bodies shape the way we interact with God and other doctrines of the faith?

In this episode, we hear from Sara's eldest daughter about how to celebrate St Nicholas -- how can imitating an ancient saint help us be more like Jesus?

Advent: John the Baptist calls for repentance and St Peter reminds us God is patient. But waiting is still the hardest thing to do. Join Sara and Eric, her mad [crazy] vicar for a delightful conversation about waiting, community, beauty, CS Lewis, the North of England, and more waiting.

It's All Saints Day! Time to talk about miracles! No, actually, it's time to consider the very down-to-earth, regular old saints in our everyday lives.

This episode circles back around to anthropology — the study of humanity — and considers the image of God a little bit more. You’ll hear a proposal for a Christological Imago Dei, one that incorporates both who we are now, and who we are growing to be in Christ.

Looking forward from Adam, what else is there to know about sin? Let's think through the current situation in which we find ourselves. In this episode, we begin by asking some framing questions about God and ourselves, before considering the nature of sin and its effects.

Today we explore another question related to our humanity: What is Original Sin, and why are we "on the hook" for what Adam and Eve did, so long ago? How does this sin come down to us and what is meant by the term "total depravity"? Are there better words for this concept?
