Kia Ora 2's & 3's
Its high time we formally introduce our newest inclusion to the "Two or Three Gathered" Team. Meet the remarkable Tony, a gift from God in so many ways, not least of all the unique blend of wisdom, accessibility, dynamism and authenticity in this son of God. We felt the best way in which to engage with some of the many reasons as to why we wanted him to join us would be to share his God glorifying testimony.
Fair warning: there is some gritty and gory stuff Tony describes in his coming to faith in Jesus Christ, but it is in this that God's love shines through so profoundly. There is a genuine Road to Damascus story here that Tony has shared in a variety of settings (even National Radio at one point!). May your faith in Jesus being mighty to save be refreshingly edified in your viewing
God Bless you,
- The 2's & 3's Team

To our blessed listeners,
Thank you for listening to us in 2023- We kick of the year with the profound delight of interviewing “James Andrew Harris:”
• Former World Vision NZ Community Engagement Manager ( Also worked for WV in Jordan, Middle East & Nauru, Australia)
• Former “Zeal” NZ Wellington Manager (and other locations) with wife Jenna
• Now, Youth Worker in Aboriginal Community Belgo ,WA
• YouthWork WA 2021 Youth Work Awards Finalist
• Anglicare New Role in 2022: “Mobilsing Churches for Social Action across Australia”
• Advocate for Refugee Release from Nauru in Australia, World Vision Forum contacting Jacinda to ensure Nauru Refugees given sanctions
James is someone I can say genuinely walks and talks his walk with Christ. His heart for “the least of these” is equally challenging and inviting and evident in everything he does. More than just professionally, he and his wife Jenna do all that they do with a devout sense of missional worship.
Whether its discussing the merits of various Hardcore bands, Sneaky ninja brewskis with politicians live on air (see below), ‘Zines’ written about times in Palestine and its ‘Other Wailing Wall’ or Open letters to Mai FM about Loansharks; you will see through his insights why we are inspired by this man’s humble but steadfast devotion to Christ.
Sola Deo Gloria,
- The 2s & 3’s Team

Kia Ora Koutou 2’s and 3’s!
In this fun-but-rambling conversation, we revisit a format we debuted in #013 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-PGE...) with the mighty Andrew Denton (https://www.facebook.com/andrew.mclac...) , where in this installment all the hosts share 3 movies that ‘messed us up’ in all the right ways and challenged us considering Christian Worldview:
This is also the 2nd we enjoy the company of our new cohost, “Tony Jee,” (https://justicejee.com/) a brilliant, Spirit-filled Christian who we look to introduce in part shortly to you all, and more in depth at a later date via his amazing God-glorifying testimony. We hope you give these a watch and have a laugh and listen as we seek to critique culture through a Christian lense. God bless you all!

Hello again 2’s and 3’s
In this 2nd part installment, while reiterating some points from part 1 we seek to 1) clarify more Biblical Theology with regards to Sex and Marriage, 2) Go into some aspects in greater depth (particularly concerning the “After Marriage angle”) and 3) use Parts 1 & 2 to then Q & A around some questions we believe Christian couples may have wondered about in the intersection between faith and sexuality, but have felt they have come up short in terms of direction. We thank Christine again for her wisdom, accessibility, transparency, candour and compassion with which she speaks on this subject. Her ever pastoral heart is a glimpse of God’s heart in her to see people know His will for their lives.
We hope you enjoy this and find it useful,
- J.

Greetings to all "The Gathered,"
In this two parter, we defer to our resident expert Christine on a biblically based conversation around Sex. Christine previously had a capacity where she spoke to schools and churches around such subjects, thus enabling communities to break taboos and develop comfort to discuss this important subject as it applies to life. We discuss Biblical understandings, principles and ethics, science and anecdotal stories in the building of what we believe is a lifegiving approach to Sex in line with Christ's ideal for our lives.
To Christ be the glory,
- C, J. & C.

Kia Ora 2’s & 3’s
What a remarkable privilege this Podcast was! We had the profound, poignant and vastly professionally experienced Mark Powell join us for an interview today:
• Former CEO of “The Warehouse Group” NZ
• Masters of Apologetics via Biola University, USA
• Now Lecturer of Apologetics at Carey Baptist College, Auckland
• Former Adjunct Professor at Massey Business School, Auckland Business School
• Executive Positions on a series of Boards across NZ & Australia
We had an in depth discussion concerning apologetics and evangelism in the 21st Century. Much of Mark’s thinking in both business and theology come down to similar epistemic questions- what do we believe to be true? His consistent belief is that all orthopraxis/pathy/doxy stems from this ultimately. We also had ample opportunity to discuss the strawman perspective of ‘Christianity being against the accumulation of wealth,’ critiquing both common assumptions and some of the more complex thinking that underlies it at the worldview level.
Mark possesses that skill of a profound economy of words where he can say a multitude of probing and dissecting things with a measured succinctness. As such, there is so much more here that just the time taken itself that I think will help your faith in Christ weigh in the heady topics mentioned above in practical ways.
As always, we look forward to your engagement!
- God Bless you,
- J, C, T & C.
