271. Is It True That All Sin is Equal?

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 18:00:00 +0000

271. Is It True That All Sin is Equal?

In this episode, Cris looks at the great question of whether all sins are really the same in God’s eyes, and why Jesus never actually said that they were. Drawing on the words of Christ from the Gospels, he explores how Scripture speaks of greater responsibility, greater harm, and greater accountability, especially where power is abused and the vulnerable are hurt. This episode unpacks the difference between weakness and wickedness, justice and mercy, and shows how a careful reading of Jesus’ teaching reveals a God who takes harm seriously while still offering forgiveness to all who turn to Him.

270. Hell, the Abyss and the God Who Entres Darkness

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 18:00:00 +0000

270. Hell, the Abyss and the God Who Entres Darkness

In this week’s episode, Cris unpacks for us a Christian theology of hell by going back to the Bible, and by taking seriously both Scripture and the stories that shape our imagination.

Drawing on themes from Struck in the Upside Down and the world of Stranger Things, this episode explores hell not as a cartoonish torture chamber or Satan’s kingdom, but as what the Bible more consistently presents it to be, the abyss, the pit, the place where life collapses in on itself when cut off from God.

268. Satan, Myth or Reality? What the Bible Actually Says

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 18:00:00 +0000

268. Satan, Myth or Reality? What the Bible Actually Says

This week's episode, Cris walks us through what the Bible actually says about the evil one, satan, the devil, cutting through speculation and myth to focus on Scripture itself. Tracing the biblical story, we explore who Satan is, how he operates through deception and accusation, the nature of the evil he promotes, and what the Bible says about his ultimate defeat. Along the way, the episode keeps Jesus at the centre, reminding us that Satan is not an equal opposite to God, nor the ruler of hell, but a defeated enemy whose power has been broken at the cross and whose final judgement is certain.

267. Should Christians Watch Stranger Things?

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 18:00:00 +0000

267. Should Christians Watch Stranger Things?

In this episode we explore the big question, should Christians watch Stranger Things, and why the answer is not as simple as yes or no. Instead, we look at how followers of Jesus can practise wise and thoughtful discernment with the stories we take in. The conversation moves beyond rules and into formation, asking what shapes our imagination, what draws us towards Christ, and what quietly pulls us away.

266. Why Am I so Impatient and How Do I Become More Patient (Virtue 7)

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 18:00:00 +0000

266. Why Am I so Impatient and How Do I Become More Patient (Virtue 7)

In this episode, we take a thoughtful look at patience, why we lose it, and how it can be rebuilt in everyday life. We also explore how the Bible frames patience, drawing on passages that reveal God’s character, the role of the Spirit, and the way waiting becomes an act of trust rather than frustration.

Finally, we offer practical steps for growing patience in real situations, helping us respond with clarity rather than reaction. This episode invites us to slow down, notice what is happening within us, and choose a posture that brings strength, steadiness, and hope to the moments that test us most.

265. Seven Ways Jesus Responded to Life’s Hardest Moments

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 18:00:00 +0000

265. Seven Ways Jesus Responded to Life’s Hardest Moments

In this episode, we explore how Jesus walked through betrayal, temptation, exhaustion, deception, confusion, suffering, and deep loneliness, and yet responded with clarity rather than chaos. Jesus shows us a better way to navigate life’s hardest moments, offering a pattern we can follow in our own struggles.

This episode reminds us that Jesus fully understands what we face, and that His responses offer strength, guidance, and hope for our own difficult days.

264. Love that heals, Charity (Virtue 6)

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 18:00:00 +0000

264. Love that heals, Charity (Virtue 6)

In this week’s episode, we explore the heavenly virtue of Charity-love in action, the virtue that heals both giver and receiver. We’ll look at what true charity really means, why it’s more than generosity, and how it becomes the antidote to greed and self-interest. Through story and reflection, we’ll unpack Augustine’s warning that “charity is no substitute for justice withheld,” and consider how love that is real must also be fair. Join us as we ask: how can we live out a charity that not only comforts but also transforms?

263. Rethinking Chastity: More Than Saying No (Vertue 5)

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 18:00:00 +0000

263. Rethinking Chastity: More Than Saying No (Vertue 5)

In this episode, we continue to look at the heavenly virtues with a focus on chastity, not as control but as freedom. We explore how chastity orders desire toward love that gives, honours, and delights. Through Scripture and reflection, we discover that true purity opens the heart to joy, peace, and the fullness of love in God.

262. Exploring the Devil Through Colour (The Colourman)

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 18:00:00 +0000

262. Exploring the Devil Through Colour (The Colourman)

In this week’s episode, we explore the idea of the Kingdom of God through the lens of colour, and the work of the evil one through the lens of grey.

Cris reads selected passages from his science fiction novel The Colourman and guides us in a series of reflections on how light, vision, and faith reveal the vibrant reality of God’s kingdom in a world that has grown dull.

261. A Episode on Telling the Truth for Everyone (Virtue 4)

In this week’s episode we explore what it really means to be people who tell the truth, even when it costs us. We look at why we sometimes hold back or twist the truth; whether to be liked, to stay in control, or to protect ourselves and how Scripture calls us to something deeper. Together we’ll learn how disciples of Jesus can become known for honesty that is both courageous and full of grace.

256. Pride or Purpose: examining the issue of Christian Nationalism.

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 18:00:00 +0100

256. Pride or Purpose: examining the issue of Christian Nationalism.

In this week's episode, we explore “Pride or Purpose?”. Looking at the problem of Christian nationalism and tracing its roots, we ask whether discipleship calls us to defend nations or to expand the Kingdom of God. We contrast the unrest we have seen in recent weeks with what we see in the Kingdom of God. Finally, we offer practical steps for Kingdom-first discipleship, praying for enemies, practising hospitality, and speaking gospel truth over politics - closing with the call to “Seek first the Kingdom of God.”

255. How to live our lives with Uprightness? What does that even mean? (Virtue 2)

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 18:01:00 +0100

255. How to live our lives with Uprightness? What does that even mean?

The Christian virtues can often sound like something from the Victorian era, but are actually the most modern things you can practice. It’s living straight in a crooked world. It’s walking in such a way that when people look at your life, they see a reflection of God’s goodness and truth.
In this episode, we explore what uprightness is and how we live it.

254. Is This True, “The World Just Needs To Know God’s Love”?

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 18:00:00 +0100

254. Is This True, “The World Just Needs To Know God’s Love”?

This week's episode challenges the popular Christian narrative that "the world just needs to know they are loved," arguing instead that Jesus' primary message wasn't love but the Kingdom of God, with 120 references to the kingdom with only 20 to love across the gospels. The episode explores how prioritising God's love over His kingdom can lead to treating Jesus as a spiritual guide rather than King. Ultimately, arguing that transformation comes through surrender to His rule rather than sentiment about His affection.

253. How To Live With Christian Integrity. (Virtue 1)

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 18:00:00 +0100

We explore five key principles: authenticity before God, consistency in all areas of life, speaking truth in love, having courage in difficult moments, and finding strength through community and accountability. The episode emphasises that integrity isn't about perfection but about alignment with Christ's character

In today's episode, we explore the common struggle of feeling spiritually distant from God and provide practical biblical strategies to encourage yourself during these challenging seasons. We'll walk through five actionable tips, including remembering God's past faithfulness, starting small with spiritual disciplines, and focusing on God's unchanging character rather than your current circumstances.

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 18:00:00 +0100

247. How do we know if something is actually a Christian idea or not?

In today's episode, we explore five dangerous beliefs that sound biblical but misrepresent God's truth, including the misconceptions that God just wants us to be happy, that enough faith guarantees healing, and that we can declare our own reality into existence. We'll examine what Scripture actually teaches about these topics and learn how to test every spiritual-sounding phrase against God's Word to avoid being led astray by well-meaning but unbiblical ideas.

246. What is the spirit of the age and what is the antidote?

Sun, 25 May 2025 15:06:00 +0100

246. What is the spirit of the age and what is the antidote?

At the HTB Leadership Conf 25 Nicky Gumbel said "Let’s not embrace the spirit of the age, rather lets embrace the spirit of Jesus".

In this episode, we explore how the "spirit of the age", driven by hyper-individualism, instant gratification, and moral relativism, directly challenges biblical discipleship in our daily lives. We'll explore practical ways to resist these cultural currents by embracing Jesus' spirit of community, patient growth, and surrendered service, rather than conforming to the world's pressure for performance and self-focus.

238. Is The Burial Cloth Of Jesus Still With Us? The Shroud Of Turin.

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 18:00:00 +0000

238. Is The Burial Cloth Of Jesus Still With Us? The Shroud Of Turin.

Did you know there is a famous contender for the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ? The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing the image of a crucified man. For centuries, it has been at the center of one of Christianity's most enduring mysteries.
This ancient artifact has generated intense debate among scientists, historians, and religious scholars. While many have dismissed it as a medieval forgery, recent scientific evidence has begun to challenge this conclusion, gradually shifting the balance of scholarly opinion.

The cloth displays remarkable characteristics that continue to defy simple explanation, including a negative image that predates photography and anatomical details consistent with Roman crucifixion practices. As new techniques emerge, researchers continue to uncover intriguing properties that keep the Shroud's authenticity an open question.

Whether authentic relic or ingenious creation, the Shroud of Turin remains one of history's most fascinating and thoroughly studied religious artifacts.

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 18:00:00 +0000

237. Have You Counted The COST Of Discipleship Recently?

It costs us to follow Jesus and if it doesn’t, we must ask ourselves, are we really living how Jesus asks us to. In this episode, we come back to this idea of asking ourselves, is there somewhere in my life I need to be costing the cost of following Jesus.

236. Is the phrase "Love is Love" true, and is God really love.

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 18:00:00 +0000

236. Is the phrase "Love is Love" true, and is God really love.

This week, we tackle a deep question: Who gets to decide what love really means? The phrase 'Love is Love' has spread widely throughout our culture in recent years, but where did this idea come from? We'll look at whether this view matches what the Bible teaches about love, or if it's a flawed idea that came from modern society. Join us as we explore how a Christian viewpoint and today's cultural views on love and relationships compare.

235. A Biblical Theology of Neurodivergence.

Sun, 09 Feb 2025 18:00:00 +0000

235. A Biblical Theology of Neurodivergence.

This week's episode dives into the fascinating world of neurodivergence through a biblical lens, exploring how God's creative design includes and celebrates different ways of thinking and processing. We unpack how neurodivergence isn't just a modern phenomenon but a reflection of divine diversity, from God's own seemingly neurodivergent traits (I mean, He did create the platypus!) to the unique spiritual gifts that different cognitive styles bring to the body of Christ.

228. Mirror Before Sword: The Power of Self-Reflection

"Before you use God's Word as a SWORD, use it first as a MIRROR"

In this episode, we look at the importance of seeing the Bible first as a mirror to ourselves before we use it as a sword against anyone else.

Questions for Self-Examination:

Use Scripture as your mirror, asking "How does this passage reveal areas where I need growth?"
Am I allowing God's Word to transform me, or am I merely acquiring knowledge? (Romans 12:2)
What patterns in my life need to change to align more closely with Scripture?
How am I responding to conviction from the Holy Spirit? (John 16:8)
In what areas am I resisting God's leading?
Am I being honest with myself about my spiritual condition? (Psalm 51:6)

This week's episode explores the concept of transforming a "heart of stone" into a "heart of flesh," drawing inspiration from the biblical verses Ezekiel 36:26 and 11:19. We delve into the characteristics of a hardened heart, discussing how past traumas, hurts, and overwhelming experiences can lead to emotional numbness and self-protective barriers. Our conversation covers the impact of a stone heart on relationships, personal growth, and spiritual life, while emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and professional help in addressing deep-seated issues. We also examine the transformation process, offering practical steps and exercises to cultivate emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and forgiveness.

We live in a world that is becoming more and more polarised on politics, identity politics, religion, theology and much more. We look to find people that agree with us and then we point their club, church, party. What if kingdom unity isn't about agreeing but on loving each other through disagreement. Can we disagree with someone and still want to see them thrive, wanting the best for them and encouraging them. Lets see how Jesus unity is differant from the worlds view on unity.

218. How To Embrace Hope For The Impossible.

In this episode, we explore what Christian hope looks like. Many people get stuck in a way of thinking that is more reflective of their past problems than a God filled and hope fulled future. If life has been a let down then sometimes we can behave like our tomorrow will be the same. Therefore we look at Romans 15 and the "God of hope" and how HIs hope overflows in us.

In this episode, we explore Matthew 10:34-36 where Jesus seems to confuse us with a statement that sits in contrast to much of his teaching on peacemaking. We will look at how the Jewish teaching technique of Allusion and the book of Isaiah gives us keys to understanding what he is really saying.

206. How To Recover From Spiritual Attack.

In today's episode we explore the question of "How to recover from a season of spiritual attack".

Here are 6 ways to heal your spiritual warfare wounds:

1. Find healing in His presence 
Psalm 73:28 "But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds." 

2. Find healing in your position  
Galatians 4:7 "Abba, Father." So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir." 

3. Find healing in your prayers 

4. Find healing in His promises 
"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8)

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)

5. Pray and worship over the battlefield areas eg. your home 

6. Treat yourself with extra kindness after the attack - rest, retreat and recover

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 17:55:00 +0000

192. How To Make The Bible The Foundation Of All Your Decisions.

There is a massive danger that Christians are not allowing the Bible to form their views and their understandings. If we only let the Bible become something we dip into, it will never have the power or authority in our lives, and then we drift towards confusion. In this episode, we look at the problem of not making the Bible the keystone for our thinking, what the consequences are, and how we move towards making the Bible this central part of our thinking.

184. Jesus Warns Us Not To Throw Pearls At Pigs - An Episode On Discernment(Matt 7:6)

I have to admit, throwing pearls at pigs has never been something I have felt I needed to worry about. How about you? Jesus uses this image as a way of helping us to see that we need to discern when someone is ready to receive the good news rather than giving away something special to someone who just isn’t going to receive it. In this episode we will explore discernment, what is the pearl and when we will know when someone is ready for it.

If you are someone who has been hurt by a church leader, please please please speak to the appropriate people. If they don’t listen, tell more people. Bring any abuse into the light.

For others of us how do we response when someone we have admired fails and is removed from ministry? Do we let our own faith flounder or do we need to so something else? In this longer than usual episode we try to explore what to do and how to respond well.

In this episode, we cover a number of topics, but the main one is that of wrath. What do we do with God's anger?

Remez was a Rabbinical teaching technique meaning hint or clue. Rabbi Jesus uses this and would assume the listens know the full Biblical text. The Rabbi Jesus would quote one verse of the Bible and want you to say the next line as the real answer.

118. How To Overcome Spiritual Procrastination

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 01:48:00 +0000

118. How To Overcome Spiritual Procrastination

In this episode, Cris talks to us about the issue of 'Spiritual Procrastination' and how to overcome it. We all do it. We say "I need to know more before I can serve", or "I need go pray more before I can serve" or "I can do that later down the line" or even "I have too much going on to be able to serve". So what do we need to do to become more fruitful.

Proverbs 20:4 “The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.”

Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men…”

Proverbs 26:13 “The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!”

Proverbs 6:9-11 “How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep-So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.”

Mon, 17 May 2021 01:58:00 +0100

86. How to build back without building bigger (Part 3)

Looking at Luke 12:13-21 we explore a story all about greed, excess and stuff. How do we build back in such a way that we are a blessing to others. What are you wanting to shape your life around?

Quote used: “The west is based upon a consumerism philosophy which is based upon a greed centred economy. Our enormously productive economy… demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying of goods into a ritual that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption…. We need things consumed fast, worn out, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever accelerated rate.”
