284. Live from the Running Track in Athens - 1 Corinthians 9 Today's episode takes us to Athens, where Cris stands among the ancient sporting sites of Greece and reflects on Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9.

282. The Discipleship Crisis of Constant Noise

282. The Discipleship Crisis of Constant Noise We are being spiritually formed by constant noise, distraction and algorithms, often more than by Scripture, prayer or Christian community.

281. How Do I Know What God Wants Me to Do Next?

281. How Do I Know What God Wants Me to Do Next? This episode Cris explores how we discern what God might be asking of us next, not through chasing secret signs or perfect certainty, but by learning to walk closely with him. Together we look at how Scripture, prayer, wise community, the quiet nudges of the Spirit, and simple next steps can help us recognise God’s leading in everyday life.

278. Do We Still Think Jesus Was A Carpenter?

278. 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.
