In this episode we go on location to the farm to hear from Marinda Barkley on spirituality. The recording is rough, but Marinda brings pure gold as she shares from her own experiences and understanding. Is everything spiritual? What are generational curses? Can Christians read Harry Potter, celebrate Halloween or watch scary movies? What other doors do we open, that might be making us vulnerable?

How and why do we need the Bible, church and community and what does that look like? We are back with John Crawford, discussing faith and how to build a strong foundation.

At some point, we all question our faith, and struggle to reconcile God's plans and purpose in our world. In this episode, we talk with John Crawford about how to navigate these questions and what it means to 'deconstruct' faith. Is it the end of the line for our faith? Can it be done well? Can Christians even ask these questions?

Why do Christians pass judgement when we are meant to be sharing God’s love and hope? Could it sometimes be our job to point out other people’s sins? If we stay silent, is that the same as condoning someone's actions? In this episode, we are talking with Angela McPherson on the topic of shame. Angela shares openly about her own experiences and how shame has affected her, and where she has found healing through Christ.

For International Women’s Day, we thought we would visit the archives and share our 2021 podcast, with special guest, Rosie Kendall.

Rosie sheds some light on what it looks like to lead well, we talk about what God thinks about women calling the shots, and different perspectives on women’s roles in ministry.

In our final instalment of the series, Steve Allen talks: “why and how to read the Bible". If you’ve ever struggled with getting into the Word, or wondered if it’s really all that important, we talk about why we do it, and what our motivations should be. Steve demystifies the scriptures and shares his wisdom and heart as we discuss the Authority of the Bible.

Get your Bibles ready, this episode is packed with gold! We’ve covered what the Bible is, and how it came together but what about all those parts that don’t fit with our world view? I mean, some of it’s hard to explain or defend. Living in a fish, owning slaves, discrimination?

Could we get away with just using the parts that fit our social code?

We recommend some pre-reading to get yourself warmed up!

Take a look at Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, and James 1:22.

Most people in the world have heard of the Bible. But what is it, really? A story book, mythology, or is it actually the inspired word of God? If it is, how did we get it, how do we know it’s true and could there be mistakes in it?

Turning water into wine was Jesus’ first miracle. Talk about a statement!

The Bible talks a lot about alcohol, and actually, so does our society. We figured, why not join in the conversation too. So, Grainery Young Adults Pastor Rachel Baker sits down and has a chat with Tom Graham about his journey with alcohol and his thoughts on “drinking culture”.

If we know that pornography is just as prevalent in secular communities, as in Christian communities, what in the world are we doing wrong? Is it time to name and shame? Lose hope? Hide the problem and bury our heads in the sand? It’s obvious we don’t have all the answers, so join us as we ponder porn!
