The Key

Friends! I had a lovely conversation with my eldest daughter about St Valentine and we decided to share it with you. There's so much to think about with the celebration of Valentine's Day -- but here is our little contribution as you celebrate the love of Christ and think of how we can bring his love to others.🧡

Join us for a rather bumpy look at Critical Realism and a short foray into the writings of Flannery O'Connor as we continue exploring what it means to "know."

How do we know what we know? What does it mean to know? These questions are wrapped up in a field of philosophy called Epistemology. While the answers might seem obvious, once we get started asking these questions, you may feel a little like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. How do we know God and how does that knowledge shape us, change us, and bring responsibility? Let's find out!

Christmas may already seem far away in the rearview. But it’s important to keep first things first; so we’re asking in 2023, how shall we train ourselves to see Christ? Plus: Rebranding and New Episode Formats

Advent is coming to an end, have your traditions pointed you towards Christ? Have you kept him in sight through this season? Join Sara to reflect on how these things bring us home to Christ even while we continue to await his return. Rejoice! Emmanuel is coming!

Jesus, Gospel, and Scripture. There's a triangular or triadic use of "the word" in Scripture. This episode explores how Special Revelation utilises these three "words" and the ways in which they are related.

How does God reveal himself to his creation, to his people? By his Word. But does that mean only Scripture? This episode explores Special Revelation -- how God reveals himself so that people can enter into relationship with him. You might find yourself surprised by the many ways in which God speaks to his people and how we are called to respond to that speaking. We'll talk about prophecy, Scripture, visions, and Christ the Word.

We know about God becuase of what theologians call his self-revelation or self-disclosure. But what does that revelation entail and what shape does it take? Join Sara as we talk about the first form of revelation, its place in our theological system, and the ultimate, albeit limited purpose of general revelation.

Too often we think about reality as a great battle between good and evil. It shows up in popular texts, world religions, even some streams of Christianity. But the creation narratives show us that evil is not equal to God, he is ulitmately more powerful and triumphant over all things. When we read the creation stories, we’re reminded that God is greater than the gods of the nations whether those are historic or present idols. This transcendent power should secure our hope for the future, bringing to mind not only creation but the future age that Christ has inaugurated. The creation narratives thus reveal who God is, thereby securing our hope for the future and reminding us not only who we are but where we are headed.

Ever get tired of the debates around Genesis 1-2? Have you wondered if there is a different way to look at the creation narratives? Well, look no further. This episode attempts to shift our focus away from contemporary debates over the how and what of creation. Instead, we’ll take a look at what it means for God to be creator. After talking about God’s attributes, who does creation reveal God to be?
