- Do We Still Think Jesus Was A Carpenter?
In this week’s episode Cris revisits the familiar image of Jesus the carpenter and gently questions whether the Gospels point us instead toward a builder shaped by the stone and soil of first-century Galilee. Tracing the meaning of tekton, and following the thread of foundations, cornerstones, and structures that run through Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of Mark, and Gospel of Luke, the episode builds a case that Jesus teaches like one who knows what it means to dig deep and build to last.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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?

- 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.”

- 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.

- 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.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

- 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)

- How To Become More Compassionate When We Are Burnt Out?
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.

- 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.

- 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.

There has been a lot, especially in young adults, talking about deconstructing the Christian faith. Sadly many have deconstructed to the point of having nothing but rubble left.

- 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.

This is a very difficult and live issue but one to look at from a discipleship perspective.
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.

- God of wrath or God of love.
We can get very confused by what looks like an angry God in the Old Testament and a loving God in the New Testament. But is that true? Is God angry? Is God the same in the Old and New Testaments? 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?

- 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.”

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.”

Episode 58 - God, Gill Gates And The Greatest Conspiracy Theory.
With the growth of online accessibility, Christianity can be a breeding ground for fundamentalism and conspiracy theories that fit within our Christian framework. Within this framework, these lies can look more convincing and the devil loves it.
Paul tells us that we need to be able to distinguish between the spirits - the spirit of truth and the spirit of lies and deception. In this Internet era conspiracy theories and lies have become more dangerous and prevalent. We are bombarded with fake news so much we can start to question even the fabric of reality and this is where it gets dangerous.
How do we wisely discern what we are reading, hearing or watching?
SO WE NEED WISDOM…
- Through SCRIPTURE
- Through TRADITION
- Through REASON
- And wise council.

We all approach the Bible with a set of questions, but are these questions enough and could there be others to ask. In this session, we look at the questions a Western reader asks and the questions a Middle Eastern reader asks. Seeing the Bible through another set of questions can really help us engage with what it says.
The Modern Western Reader
- Did it really happen like this, is it historical?
- How does it solve my problems?
- Are these people real, what proof?
- Does it fit the world we know?
- Do I like it?
Eastern / Jewish Reader
- Why did the writer tell me this story?
- Why did the writer choose to write it like this?
- Why did the writer use this word not that?
- How can I entre the story?
- What does the story ask of me?
- Where have I heard this story before?
- What does it tell me about this world that I didn’t know?

Is sin an out of date concept in a modern world or does it still have its central role in Christianity? Is it time that sin gets dropped or is it time to reunderstand it?

Episode 19 from Season 1 titled: What is the meaning of being "Born Again"?
In this episode, we take a term heavily used by many Christians and unpack its original meaning. The title 'Born Again' is often used to separate out 'real' Christians and the fake. Maybe we are misunderstanding what Jesus meant by this and how to use it. We will look at the original use, the greek and the cultural implications.

Episode 18 from Season 1 titled: Where is God in hard times?
In this podcast Cris is joined by Sarah Mcdonald from Hope Church and Benedict Atkins from St Matts Canning Town for a conversation about "Where is God in hard times?" We can on often make the mistake in thinking that how we feel is how things are. If you feel distant to God we then conclude we must be distant to God. Sometimes our emotions and feelings lie to us. In this episode we explore the topic of suffering, hard times and where is God.
