Is Our View of The Cross Too Small? || SLP67507 Sep 202601:19:23

“Jesus died so that…” How would you finish the sentence? Join Glen Scrivener and Naomi Brehm as they explore different images the Bible gives us to understand the mystery of what Christ has done.

In this episode, we meander through the law courts, the temple, the market, the home and the battlefield as we consider the Bible’s language of “justification”, “propitiation”, “representation”, “redemption”, “adoption” and “victory”. You’ll want a Bible for this one - or follow along with Romans 3 online here. 

Recommended mentions:

  • Evangelism in a Sceptical World, Sam Chan (book)
  • The Cross of Christ, John Stott (book)
  • It was Finished Upon That Cross, City Alight (song)

Nolan's Odyssey: Disenchanted, But Not Entirely || SLP66629 Jul 202600:19:48

Thomas Thorogood unpacks the meaning of ‘The Odyssey’ (2026 movie), written and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Charlize Theron. It's an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey from around the 8th century BC. How does the movie handle the fantastical elements of the story? And does its outlook on war owe more to Christianity than Ancient Greece?

Thomas' Prayer for Christian Content Creators
Father, we thank you for the gifts of cameras and microphones. Thank you that these can be used to share Christ. Please guide us to make things that are beautiful and honest and true. May we not work from a place of emptiness. Seeking to climb the ladder of the world for our own personal gain. But may we instead flow from a place of fullness. Knowing that in Christ, we are truly nourished. And from that place in your arms, may we overflow with that cross-shaped love out into the world.

For those of us who are called to share Christ online, please give us the strength do so boldly and creatively. By your Spirit, may doors be opened for our message. And yet, may it also be our ambition to lead quiet lives.

Keep us from getting caught up in the spectacle of social media. Challenge us and ground us if we ever fall into using technology as a means to dehumanise. We ask that our work would instead amplify and point to the intensely personal reality of Christ and his church. May the digital be a complement and not replacement for the physical.

May the tiny pixels of our screens be overwhelmed by the light of Christ himself.

Amen.
