A very unique book in the Bible: why is a book that’s focussed on passionate sexual attraction, not just in the Bible, but part of the wisdom literature?!

The final chapters of Job are some of the most glorious in the whole Bible. See what happens when Job encounters God!

“Job’s comforters” has become a pejorative term denoting poor friendship. Let’s explore what his friends did that was wise and where they stepped into folly…

Job’s response to his affliction is remarkable, humbling and inspiring, revealing depths of truly profound wisdom.

Here we explore the backdrop of the story of Job in order to lay a foundation of wisdom.

Knowledge abounds at the click of a button but wisdom it seems is in short supply. What is wisdom? Listen for a short intro to whet your appetite for this new Liston and Speak series.

People don’t often associate spiritual gifts with admin! This episode makes clear what the gift of administration actually is and how it is so key for the fulfilment of the divine plan.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion policy arouses strong feeling and often features in political debates. Here I explore some of the philosophical elements behind the policy and consider these in light of Biblical truth.

Paul the apostle tells the church in Corinth to especially seek the gift of prophecy. Let’s explore what it is and why it’s such a great gift.

The gift of tongues is one of those divisive gifts that polarise people. I think some believers are very dismissive of this gift but it really is so precious.

In this episode we explore two things: Firstly how good theology is NOT the goal of the Christian faith but an aid to it and secondly how Spirit baptism is different to conversion.

So many detractors of the Spirit-filled life are terrified of emotionalism to the point where they would rather avoid emotions all together. In this episode I try to show why this is such a foolish move.

In this series we will explore the much debated topic around whether or not Christians should expect and pursue the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit that we read about in the life of Jesus and the early church or not. Enjoy.

The men are very welcome to listen too, but here I finish this theme by helping the women to understand the fallen drives behind the Manosphere that can leave them undervalued and damaged.

We will get into the weeds in this episode and challenge many core convictions of the Manosphere.

Now we have understood the dual contexts of feminism and wokeness we can begin to expose the lie that is the Manosphere.

Having a clear sense of the context in which the need Manosphere has grown will give us a better understanding of it. Wokeness isa key part of that.

In this first episode on the Manosphere we will look at Feminism in order to begin to understand one of the main things the Manosphere is reacting to.

Over the last few decades the voice of the evangelical church in the UK has become increasingly muted on the subject of abortion. In this episode we look at why that might be as well as taking a look at the subject afresh.

After a week of big political turmoil I thought it might be helpful to share a couple of thoughts on the matter in light of scripture…

There are probably a few too many folks around who have no accountability. This short episode will help you know who to get in touch with if anything I say appears unfaithful to scripture at all.

The term ‘Son of God’ can raise all kinds of questions for us. What does it actually mean and is there any way that we can actually know whether or not Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God? I also smuggle into this episode the final (and probably most powerful) reason how we can know the Bible is reliably the word of God.

Two more key thoughts on this vital subject.

This is huge - it all hangs on this…

It’s important to be able to discern the difference between spiritual truth and lies because the ramifications in our lives concerning what we get involved in can be huge.

People often suggest that God’s supposed goodness and power are undermined by the state of the world. I beg to differ and here’s why…

Maybe the biggest question most people ask themselves at some point in their lives…

Many people baulk at the idea of a loving God creating a place called hell and sending people there forever. Let’s explore this together.

Exploring what the Bible teaches about angels so that our minds can be opened up and our hearts prepared.

Exploring a question that has dogged people for millennia

Maybe it’s a good time to consider what, if anything, is so special about humans compared to the rest of creation. If we see this clearly the ramifications could be big.

Having a relationship with God is something people talk a lot about these days, but what does it mean from a biblical perspective?
