The 10ofThose Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

J.C. Ryle’s works have long inspired Christians with timeless truths and profound insights into the Christian faith. But as language and culture evolve, even the most powerful words can feel somewhat inaccessible. How can we bring Ryle's teachings to life for a new generation, eager for guidance but sometimes struggling to connect with the language of older saints?

In today's episode, Jonathan is joined by Mary Davis and Andrew Atherstone to discuss Ryle's legacy and lasting importance. They explore how Ryle’s wisdom on discipleship, holiness, and devotion continues to resonate deeply and how a fresh modernization can serve as a bridge to introduce his unique theological contributions to a new generation of believers.

In this episode of the 10ofThose Podcast, Jonathan and Rob talk about their own struggles with church life, rooting ourselves in the transformative joy of Jesus, and how we can be encouraged (and encourage others around us) when it comes around to Sunday again.

The right observance of sacraments has long divided the church throughout history (i.e. the the schism at the Council of Trent for you church history buffs), and even in our modern nondenominational era we still all can't seem to agree on how to take communion. Why the constant disagreement, and does it really matter?

In this episode of the 10ofThose Podcast, Jonathan and Rob discuss their own experiences of corporate worship through partaking in communion while also considering why some may settle into an indifference about the importance of the Lord's Table. Where does your own heart sit on this matter?
