Does God use violence? Should the church expand through force? How does God relate to political power?

Tom, Matt and Karen have mentioned in 9 previous episodes what the Kingdom of God is NOT. So today, they are back in the pub exploring what it IS. What is it all about? Why does Jesus talk about it so much?

Join them in a new location, along with some very weird drinks, for a fascinating exploration. Also joined by special guest "Francisco Pizarro" all the way from the 16th century.

Karma, the universal law of cause and effect, dictates that actions—good or bad—eventually return to the doer, acting as a cosmic balancer. 

Is this true? Is Karma the universal law? How does it affect us? Is God involved with it? Can we escape from its impact? Does what goes around come around?

Tom, Matt & Karen are back in The Plough in Cirencester exploring Karma. Join them, along with a few weird drinks to explore.

Surely it is right to topple evil regimes? New leaders would be much better for the people. Isn't it worth spilling a little blood to get a more peaceful world? Didn't God remove some bad kings in the Bible? Shouldn't we use our military to force good changes on other countries?

Touched by global events, Tom, Matt & Karen are back in the pub, exploring this political, religious and ethincal question. With the help of some weird drinks, they wrestle with the rights and wrongs of violent regime change - and ask the question "What Would Jesus Do?".

Join them for 40 minutes of lively discussion and some terrible accents.

Evangelicals. I've heard of them - but aren't they all crazy? Bigoted nationalists? Hating science? Misusing the Bible?

Join them and some weird drinks for a fascinating 40 minutes.

Was Jesus a myth? Was Jesus a Cynic? Was he an alien? Was he a prophet? Is Jesus a code-word for a magic mushroom? Did Jesus start a political revolution?

Churches are closing, right? People are leaving. There are only a handful of old people going to church. Surely the church in the UK and in the West is destined to shrink away to nothing.

Is this true? What about stories of a "quiet revival"? What is happening? Is there a new openness to faith in God?

Join Tom, Karen & Matt in the pub for an intriguing discussion. Plus, or course, some weird drinks.

If faith in God is so good, why would someone give up on it? Surely, if Jesus is real - then turning away doesn't make sense. Why do people lose faith? Why do people get faith in the first place?

Matt, Tom & Karen are back in the pub looking at the 8 reasons for someone to lose their faith in God. Join them, and some weird drinks, for a fascinating 40 minutes of discussion - and maybe a little bit of faith.

The British flag - the Union Jack - has been appearing on streets across the UK. What does this express? Is this a desire to return to 'British values? And is this flag a Christian symbol? Is patriotism a good thing? What does God think about love of country? What about other countries and their flags? Are St George, St Andrew & St Patrick to be celebrated in Britain?

Tom, Matt & Karen are back in the Plough to explore patriotism, nationalism, patron saints, immigration and what Jesus might say about all this. Join them and some more weird drinks for a fascinating discussion.

Are the hidden humanoids living in the forest? Is there a Yeti in Nepal, a Bigfoot in America, a Yowie in Australia and big cats in the UK? What are they? Do they exist? Are they aliens? Are they hybrids? And how do they relate to the mysterious giants in the Bible - the Nephilim?

Tom, Matt & Karen are back in the pub wrestling with this unusual question - inspired by one of the regular listeners. Join them for a fascinating chat and some weird drinks.
