After finding a book entitled 88 Reasons Why The Rapture Will Happen in 1988, we wonder if we can think of 22 reasons why the rapture will happen in 2022.

With thanks to David Tennant and Michael Sheen, for being themselves. 

And sorry for lots of nonsense. (Possibly more than normal)

It's the Christmas day podcast episode!

And in grand Christmas tradition. Its chaotic. Like Christmas.

We predict what time our respective kids woke us up this morning, ask what Christmas is all about, (no we don't give the right answer), worst Christmas presents, talk Christmas drinks, and what is the catch with Monk Beer?

Also. Christian families at Christmas, and the pressure to be theologically correct.

Most importantly (for Andy) we also discuss a lack of Doctor Who Christmas Special.

Advent. Its a time of hopeful anticipation for Christmas, where we spend time peacefully preparing our hearts for the celebration of Jesus' birth, right? 

But if thats the case, why are we all so flippin tired? 

Not tired... but really tired. Its not a covid thing, but everyone seems to be tired at this time of year. Is it because we try and do everything?

Go to the Christmas parties? (Once we've worked out if we should)

Go to the Christmas services.

Go to the Carol services.

Work out what friends we should see.

Worry about our bank balance. (Allegedly not if you're a plumber in a famous mega church. Allegedly.)

Where can we find peace in amongst this mess?

Inspired by last weeks Bible chat we ask, Is the Bible scary? And if so, what parts of The Bible are kinda scary?

We talk scary Bible stories, bad beer, Andy plays a silly game, and we wonder about context in the Bible.

Our first minipod this week, with one of those announcements that should have been made earlier. A little like one of those Church Notices that get made after the service has finished and everyone is starting to stand, turn around, and plan how we get to Sunday Lunch. 

There's also talk of some terrible beer.

This week is all about the questions. 

Questions such as Why are we called The Messy Pew (because we didn't answer that last time), but we also ask ourselves a number of questions about The Bible. 

Where are we meant to read the Bible? Are we really meant to read a chapter a day? Where has the whole idea of a quiet time come from anyway? (Cant it be "sitting upset time"?) Is everyone else reading the bible more than you? And what if you're not a natural reader? Does that mean you just stuck to a life of guilt whenever Bible reading is mentioned in Church? 

Could less be more?

What is the point of Deuteronomy?

Andy also shares another story of socially failing in Church.

So we have to start somewhere, so here we are with episode 1 of The Messy Pew Podcast.

Today we seem to talk alot about church related worries... "I'm I the only one who thinks this" or struggles with that... And failing at after Church Coffee times... You know when someone asks you a question, and its only 5 hours afterwards when you realise you live a far more interesting life then you could remember in the moment? That sort of thing. 

We also ask. What is Deuteronomy good for?

Please send us your stories of any Church fails or anything similar to the above, we'd love to hear from you!

Pay no attention to the man below the jumper. Seriously this is 28 seconds of chaos.
