The Podigal Sons
This is a light hearted podcast, because so many people find Church and the Bible quite hard to access, we thought we would just chat together as mates and talk about some themes from a Biblical viewpoint in a way you might not find in Church - and hopefully it will help and encourage people.
In this episode we discuss difficult moments in our lives where it has been hard to trust God (with our finances, relationships, stress, decisions, health) and how we can develop and grow our faith by looking at His character and nature.
In this episode we talk about where anger comes from, what the Bible has to say about it and how easy it is to get caught in trap of repressing emotions. We discuss how damaging anger can be and healthy ways to express it.
In this episode we discuss emotions, particularly as men living in a culture of toxic masculinity that is facing an epidemic of male suicide. We talk about why it's so hard to be open and vulnerable. What helps and what doesn't. What the Bible has to say about emotions and, conversely, why Church can sometimes be the hardest place to admit you're struggling.
In this episode we look at Church. What is it? Why is it important? Why are there so many different versions of it? What do we do if we struggle with it or find it boring/irrelevant?
In this episode we continue to look at how words can deeply affect us and how we need to also be careful about what we say to others. We discuss what the Bible has to say on the topic and how God even used words to create the world.
In this episode we look at the power of words to build up and tear down. We discuss experiences of when people have encouraged us or hurt us and what our response should be.
