What is the place of studying in our quest to know God? Many Christians in Uganda look suspiciously on giving ourselves to study books, the Bible and reading as a means to know God. Does study make us 'bookish'? and unable to tap into 'the realm of the Spirit'? How best can we give ourselves to study without falling into the trap of being puffed up and prideful? Where do we even begin from to study well? This episode features Boaz Atuheire and Barbra Lange from Living Word Uganda as we discuss these questions and more.

God's design for marriage rests on a complementarian understanding, so why is 'female submission' so contested today? In this episode, the ladies have their take. 

Voting is neither negligible nor ultimate because a Christian’s “pilgrim” identity must shape how they engage everything, including politics.   As Uganda votes, we remind ourselves of our transcendent, yet relevant outlook in a temporal world we find ourselves in.  We ponder what it means to be “in the world but not of it” (John 17:14-16)

We've just ended the most turbulent of years, 2020 left many with experiences unexpected, yet it also reminded us lots about what matters, namely; God's sovereignty, the nature of the church, our plans amidst his, waiting on God, and whatnot.

What do we make of Christmas in this COVID year? Why should we think about the birth of Christ amidst the pain and suffering and disorientation brought by the pandemic? Is the message of Christmas relevant for us today? Join Derrick, Denis, Joseph, and Eddie as they discuss the significance of the incarnation for our everyday life as humans.

Someone told this generation that the world is the problem and the solution is within, yet scripture shows we are our main problem and the solution required a Saviour from without. 

How you diagnose the human condition is central to which solutions you offer, and how you define happiness. Whereas lots of slogans and media messaging today constantly point believers to self sovereignty. 

God liberates us from the tyranny of self and invites us to instead deny it and follow the one who knew no sin, yet lived a perfect life. 

JJ Smith once said self improvement is like a boiling kettle, it heats faster (keenly) unobserved. 

And so is the Christian life,  

The more attention we get off ourselves the more likely we are to grow, behold, and change. 

Or like the author of Hebrews 12 implies, the more we fix our eyes on Jesus, the more we overcome what easily entangles. 

No wonder many of our self-improvement projects fall flat, we set up the wrong goals and consequently live inferior lives. 

A “pandemic”, a “humbling of a civilization”, “COVID19” what haven’t we called the recent crisis? 

Everything pales in light of imminent death, as church locations ceased this Sunday, as supermarket choices dropped, one thing remained—a steadfast hope amidst fear and chaos, a Christian hope. 

To abide in Christ is to live out the good news amidst the bad. 

But how then do you live as a treasured possession in a pandemic? 

Distraction is the new duty, what used to reside inside a thousand minds is now a matter of public consumption. 

The digital age is invading how we think of ourselves, God and the world around us. 

As fragile identities lurk behind images, tweets and uploads, believers in Christ must ask bolder questions. 

Who am I? What do my media habits reveal about my real loves, how is my use of time advancing the gospel? What deserves my utmost attention, what is leisure in an embattled world? 

What about “redeeming the time?”

We spend half of our adult lives at work, few things reveal, shape our character (or lack thereof) than the longest hours we give to our daily duties. 

How does Christian identity address success and failure, rest, fear of man, laziness and workaholism? 

What should our Christian witness look like between 8-5pm? 

Listen.
