Death. Death has or will affect us all. For many of us we have felt the sting of death, even those of us who profess Christ as resurrection and the embodiment of hope! So how does Jesus understand death, Jesus is the one who experienced death, overcame death and then raised us up from the dead. In this pod we think about physical death, spiritual death, how we deal with death and how we should have hope in the midst of death.

SIN! A pervasive reality that by our own selfish volition has ravaged our lives and the surrounding world. Yet with Jesus we have seen and do see victory. The real question is what is sin's role in the life of a new creation indwelled by the Holy Spirit? Why is sin still a fight? How do I overcome it? Can I be sinless? All questions we explore in this pod.

Jesus is the perfect bridegroom which makes sense because he designed marriage.

Maybe fatherhood is something that you have never thought about before, but we need to stop and recognise Fatherhood as apart of the eternal personhood of God and from that see the necessity of it within the creative order.

In this podcast we explore how we should think about fatherhood and why we should think about it from the earliest age.

Is this the most pervasive question that exists within the christian community? Especially among the younger generations. It is no question that we live in a world that is morally lapsing left, right and centre, particularly in the area of ALCOHOLISM and DRUNKENNESS. However, our response to this as Gods bride has been so poor, we either enter staunch legalism mode or permissible Peter mode. "Drink whatever you want and how much you want!," "If one drop even touches your lips you are a hopeless heathen." We lack the authority and compassion of Christ greatly when it comes to alcohol. In this podcast we address this topic through conversation in the hope that we might learn, be taught, rebuked, corrected and trained.

Restoration? What actually is this? Do christians have to do it, if you look at church history you would think that we probably don't need to, if you looked at your church maybe you would conclude its not important and if you looked at your own life, it is a signpost that reads "restoration is only done when it is convenient for the one restoring." Yet we would have to reject the good news of the gospel that teaches Jesus Christ restored everything back to himself on the cross! And so christians follow suit in emulating Jesus in restoring and when we restore we provide the greatest witness of what Jesus has done in our own lives.
