Frequency: 1 episode/47d. Total Eps: 16

The A.I.M of this podcast is to help people form an intimate relationship with God and to answer the big life questions: - What was our origin? - Where can we find meaning and purpose? - How do we discern between good and evil, fact and fiction? - What is our ultimate destination? Many today are seeking these answers but not finding them. This is often because they are looking in the wrong places. All the guidance, wisdom, provision, love, forgiveness, hope and peace we seek can be found when we abide in our Creator. Before we can abide in Him, we need to know Him and also what He expects from us. "Abide in Me" was the message Jesus gave to His disciples before He left them. He knew that they would need to be close to Him, by abiding in His Word, if they were to be transformed and in turn transform the world. (John 15) I hope these podcasts open you up to learning about who Jesus was, what he taught and why we should abide in him. All the Bible verses I reference each week are listed in the podcast notes to help you discover the beauty and wisdom of the scriptures. Please listen, share and subscribe.

Our Red Sea Moment - Growing Our Faith in the Wilderness

Episode 16

Tuesday, December 31, 2024 • Duration 51:31

In this week's episode, I delve into Exodus 14 where God parts the Red Sea in order to save the Israelites from destruction. God is testing their faith and says to them, "The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." Even though they believed in God and even feared Him, they still did not have faith that He could save them.

What does this story tell us about ourselves? How will we handle our own Red Sea moment? Will we prefer to be slaves rather than face the unknown in the wilderness? Will we have enough faith to stay the course and reach our promised land?

In the last six minutes of the podcast I read short Psalms that will give you strength and courage during times of change. They are also listed, along with other Bible reference, in the podcast notes below.

"Wait for the LORD, be strong and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD." Psalm 27:14

Surrendering, Suffering and God's Sovereignty

Episode 15

Saturday, August 24, 2024 • Duration 01:18:48

In this week's episode I talk about three different worldviews and their response to human suffering. Should we have faith in humans to solve the world's problems? Or will Artificial Intelligence give us the answers? Both humans and technology are flawed but if we have faith in our Creator and his sovereignty, might and faithfulness, we will feel more stable in times of suffering.

Do Not Lean on Your Own Understanding

Episode 5

Wednesday, October 25, 2023 • Duration 58:18

In this week's podcast I talk about the dumbing down of our society and how we can learn to see through the media spin and the many wolves in sheep's clothing that want to lead us away from the truth.

"One of the painful signs of years of dumbed-down education is how many people are unable to make a coherent argument. They can vent their emotions, question other people's motives, make bold assertions, repeat slogans—anything except reason." Thomas Sowell

"Yet we must say something, when those who say the most are saying nothing" Augustine of Hippo

Unity or Uniformity - The Diversity of Modern Christian Teachings

Episode 4

Wednesday, October 18, 2023 • Duration 44:35

Below is a selection of resources.

Knowing and Being Known - The Story of Paul

Episode 3

Wednesday, October 11, 2023 • Duration 53:15

In this week's podcast, I talk about the Apostle Paul and how his life can be a template for us when we are seeking a relationship with God. I also talk about the importance of the resurrection of Jesus, why this is the central teaching of Christianity and why it matters to all of us today.

The Problem with Perennialism (Modern Spirituality)

Episode 2

Thursday, October 5, 2023 • Duration 56:36

In this episode I talk about the ideas behind modern spirituality, which has at its foundation the philosophy of Perennialism; the idea that all religions have a common core and that there are many paths to God. But what is missing from this kind of religious pluralism? Even though these ideas seem accepting and tolerant, could they in fact be leading people down the garden path and away from God?

Bible references:

Luke 12:51 (Division not Peace), 1 John 1:8 (No sin, deception), Exodus 20 (10 Commandments), John 8:31-32 (Truth set you free), John 15:13 (No greater love), Hebrews 4:12 (Alive & Active).

Jesus: Religion or Reality?

Episode 14

Saturday, June 22, 2024 • Duration 01:02:02

In this week's episode I talk about the difference between "Jesus: the religion" and "Jesus: the reality". After two thousand years of church history, I ask if we have fallen into the trap that the apostle Paul warned us against by being embroiled in "vain discussions" that lead us away from our faith?

Jesus called his followers to simply believe in him. He said that his sheep hear his voice, but if we are distracted by too many other voices we may not be able to hear him call. I talk about some of the visceral experiences I have had with Christ over the past few years that lead me know the reality of his existence. These experiences led me to have more faith in him as a person, who is available to all who would call on him, even today.

Bible references:

God is Love - How Does God's Love and Word Heal Us?

Episode 13

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 • Duration 54:57

In this week's podcast, I talk about God's steadfast love and the healing power of His word. How does God's love differ to our love for each other? God's love often includes discipline, which means we can be left to our own devices until we freely turn back to God for healing. God's word heals us, which is why we need to abide in His word by reading the Bible, but also by hearing what He is saying to each of us individually. Sometimes He corrects us and sometimes He tells us what we don't want to hear, but He always tells us the truth and this is what transforms us.

Once we understand how God's love works, we will move beyond the shallow notion that a loving God will never be judgemental or allow us to suffer. God's love is steadfast and unwavering but He will not tolerate sin and He will bring ultimate justice to us all.

Abide In Me - How Do Jesus' Words Transform Us?

Episode 12

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 • Duration 55:14

In this week's episode, I talk about Jesus' instruction to His disciples to abide in Him by abiding in His words.

"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you." John 15:7

The words we speak to each other and our own thoughts affect us deeply, so how much more will Jesus' words transform our inner selves?

Is this the reason that the Bible and Jesus's teachings are constantly attacked and derided in our society? Are the powers and principalities afraid of a humanity who understand how much God loves them? Because if we really understood this, they would no longer be able to control us through fear and division. It seems that today reading the Bible is a subversive act.
