The Plumb Line

In this episode we talk to  Fun Sexy Bible Time co-host Matthew Pierce.  If you're already put off,  that might be for the best... We try - and fail - to find out who he REALLY is and talk  about his obsession with bringing down Christian twitter using the anecdotes and sound advice from his home school and youth pastor respectively. Matthew tells us what  it's like to be a literal Goliath amongst men, humours us by playing a Christian Power Ratings game, reveals that he owns a Christian  version of Monopoly and we discuss which Lord of the Rings character  Beth Moore is most like.

In this episode we talk with friend of the podcast, Laura. Laura takes us back to the moment that she found her son, Daniel, had fallen in to a pond. Daniel ultimately passed away and Laura tells us how the mercy of God has gone before her as she has walked the path of grief. Laura's story is such a powerful display of the power a Christian can have in the face of death and we hope you listen and are as moved and encouraged as we were.

In the Plumb Line's own Ted Talk we discuss popular culture with our usual plumbs ready to dangle! We talk about how and why Christians should and can enjoy popular culture and all of the trimmings that come with it! In Ted's own words "more people are into Miley then are into Brahms" so how can we make sure that we're not hiding ourselves away afraid to let ourselves enjoy it.

Our next offering in our Mercy Drops series is Anna's story. Anna takes us back 3 years to when she found out she was pregnant while at university. She tells of the torment she experienced as her self-esteem took a huge hit and how she felt that before God she stood condemned and so far from Him. She found herself in a downward spiral which ultimately led to a surprise pregnancy.
Anna explains how God has used this time to draw her close to Him - how He would come to answer her biggest question: 'does God forgive Christians?'

I this episode we talk with Lore Wilbert about  her excellent book Handle With Care. We have a fascinating conversation with her about what touch is, why its important and how knowing the love of God truly in our lives, will lead us to express intimacy in the way God intended within all of our relationships.
