  19. SHAME, PROPHECY, AND HEARING GOD'S VOICE | Q&A

    30 juli 2026 · 17 min

    Afspelen
    Join Solomon and Michelle for an honest and engaging Q&A episode as they dive into your questions about faith, walking with God, hearing His voice, dealing with shame, and navigating prophecies online, unpacking what it means to let discipline rather than emotion drive your relationship with God, why peace is both a feeling and a person found in Jesus, and how the best way to present the gospel is simply to live it out authentically in everyday moments. Lees meer

    This episode explores what has challenged them most in their walk with God, including studying theology and confronting truths they thought they knew, how to distinguish between your own voice and God's voice by recognizing His character in Scripture and seeking counsel from trusted believers, why emotions are incredible advisors but horrible behind the wheel when it comes to faith, how security in Christ becomes the foundation that brings lasting peace even when feelings fade, why you're not a bad Christian if you don't feel peace all the time because mental health struggles are real and complex, how staying on fire for God's word is less about passion and more about discipline regardless of how you feel, why you should be cautious and critical of online prophecies especially from strangers who don't know you, how shame keeps us isolated and the remedy is confession and community, and how the gospel flows naturally out of us when we place it at the very core of who we are.

  21. GEN Z VS BISHOP | GRAHAM TOMLIN'S REMARKABLE FAITH JOURNEY

    23 juli 2026 · 44 min

    Afspelen
    Join Zach and Zoe for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Graham Tomlin, theologian, author, and former Bishop, as he shares his journey from teenage atheism and reading Nietzsche in rebellion against his Christian upbringing, to rediscovering faith through the witness of Christian friends and the peace they embodied, to becoming a scholar who sees theology not as optional intellectual exercise but as spiritual discipline and a form of prayer that helps us love God with our minds. Together, they explore the profound insights of Blaise Pascal, the 17th century mathematician and theologian who invented the computer, probability theory, and the bus system, and who understood that our hearts are stronger than our heads, that we only believe what we want to believe, and that the key to evangelism is making faith attractive by helping people wish it was true before showing them that it is.
    This episode dives deep into why we don't need all the answers to share our faith effectively, how living as if Christianity is true helps us try on faith like a coat to see if it fits, why the problem of suffering doesn't have a neat answer but Christianity offers hope that evil is temporary and will be overcome, how studying theology matures our faith and expands our vision of how big and beautiful God truly is, why all Christians are theologians because we all speak words about God, and how the journey of knowing God is never finished because even in eternity there will always be more to discover about His love, creativity, and character.

    Join Zach and Izzy for an exploration of Psalm 127, unpacking what it means to build your life on the Lord rather than your own efforts, why working hard without God leads to emptiness no matter how successful you become, and how children and community are not burdens but blessings that extend God's legacy through generations. This episode dives deep into Solomon's wisdom as both the builder of the temple and someone who experienced the emptiness of building for himself, revealing how unless the Lord builds the house the builders labor in vain, why Christians should be some of the best sleepers around because God grants rest to those He loves, and how the cultural script around independence and productivity stands in sharp contrast to what Scripture says about relying on God in everything from your career to your family to the way you spend your time and energy.

This episode dives deep into the majestic opening declaration that God founded the earth upon the seas and established it on the waters, revealing how even chaos and uncertainty are under His authority and control, why the mention of the God of Jacob reminds us that grace is sufficient for tricksters and scoundrels like us, and how this psalm would have been read as Jesus entered Jerusalem on a Sunday and ultimately as He ascended through the gates of heaven on our behalf.

  32. WHO WAS BETTER - MARY OR MARTHA? | LUKE 10 BIBLE STUDY

    1 juni 2026 · 34 min

    Afspelen
    Join Izzy, Zoe, and Michelle for the final episode of the encounters with Jesus series as they explore the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, unpacking what it means to sit at the feet of Jesus in the midst of busyness, why Jesus gently corrects Martha not to condemn her but to call her higher, and how both serving and sitting are essential but one thing is needed above all else. This episode dives deep into the tension between Martha's hospitality and Mary's radical decision to sit at Jesus' feet as a student and disciple, revealing what it looks like to discern when to serve and when to rest, why Jesus calling Martha by name twice is deeply significant, and how the placement of this story right after the parable of the Good Samaritan shows us that loving our neighbour and sitting at Jesus' feet are not opposites but part of the same call to follow Him.

    Join Zach and Zoe for an incredibly powerful exploration of the story of the Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18, unpacking what it means to move from performance-based religion to surrendered discipleship, why Jesus invites us to examine what has taken the throne in our hearts, and how true eternal life is found not in what we do but in who we follow. This episode dives deep into the encounter between Jesus and a wealthy ruler who kept all the commandments since childhood but still lacked one thing, revealing what it looks like to let go of what we hold tightly so we can receive something far greater, and why Jesus disciplines us out of love rather than condemnation.

    Join Solomon and Zoe for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving second conversation with Micah Studer as he unpacks how living in the Middle East radically transformed his understanding of Jesus, what it means to follow a God who doesn't promise comfort but promises His presence in suffering, and why the Western gospel of following your heart and living your dreams is fundamentally at odds with the call to take up your cross daily and lose your life to find it. This episode dives deep into the cultural realities of the world where Jesus actually lived, revealing how reading the Gospels in context changes everything, from the moment Jesus feeds Judas the dipped bread as an act of honor even while knowing he would betray Him, to the reality that following Jesus often leads not to safety and success but to persecution, prison, and profound transformation through suffering.

This episode dives deep into the encounter between Jesus and Zacchaeus, a despised chief tax collector who climbed a tree to see Jesus passing through Jericho, and discovers what it looks like to move from greed and isolation to humility and wholeness, from being hated by the crowd to being publicly restored by the Messiah, and from climbing up high to being called down low in the presence of the King.

    Join Zoe and Solomon for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Micah Studer as he shares his radical journey from growing up in Washington state, discovering a calling to love his enemies in the midst of war, moving to the Middle East at age 20, and learning what it truly means to bear witness to Jesus by simply being present, listening well, and letting the Holy Spirit prepare hearts through dreams, visions, and divine appointments. This episode unpacks what it looks like to move from cultural Christianity to cross-cultural mission, from religious performance to sincere presence, and from waiting for angelic signs to simply going and doing something in response to the needs God makes you aware of. Lees meer

    The episode also dives into Micah's years working with Syrian refugees on the Jordanian border, distributing aid every week as God miraculously provided the budget through envelopes and phone calls, and the story of a refugee woman who had a dream that two foreign girls would come to her door with a book containing all the answers for her life. Discover why Micah's advice to aspiring missionaries is to stop waiting for an angel to appear and just go do something, buy a plane ticket, open your heart to the needs around you, and live by the motto see a need and meet a need. This is a story about the faithfulness of God in preparing hearts, the power of presence over programs, and the call within the call that comes when we simply say yes to Jesus and follow Him wherever He leads.

    Join Zoe and Zach for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Ben as he shares his radical journey from growing up in a Christian family, experiencing seven years of severe bullying at boarding school, crying out to God in desperation at age 17, and discovering what it truly means to be known, loved, and called by name through the transformative power of Jesus and the faithfulness of the church. This episode unpacks what it looks like to move from isolation and worthlessness to identity and friendship, from distant religion to intimate relationship with God, and from searching for acceptance in all the wrong places to finding your worth secured in Christ. Lees meer

    Ben opens up about being bullied physically and emotionally from age 10, being called nicknames like "worthless" instead of his own name, and feeling completely alone and isolated at boarding school with zero friends and zero social confidence. Discover the moment he lay in his dorm room and prayed his first real prayer asking God where He was, how his mum felt led by the Holy Spirit to take him to a Christian festival called Focus, and how that week radically transformed his life as he encountered the real living God in Jesus. Learn how God didn't just save him but restored his personality, healed what the enemy had stolen, and redeemed the very lies he had believed by calling him by name and showing him he was full of worth, full of sonship, and deeply loved.

    Join Zach, Izzy, and Zoe as they dive deep into the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16, exploring what it truly means to steward what God has given you, why faith produces a heart posture of love towards others, and how the upside-down kingdom of God challenges everything we think we know about wealth, poverty, and eternity. This episode unpacks Jesus' powerful story about a rich man clothed in purple and fine linen who feasted lavishly every day, and Lazarus, a poor beggar covered in sores who lay at his gate longing for crumbs. Discover what happens when they both die, and their positions are completely reversed, why the rich man still refuses to repent even in torment, and what it reveals about the danger of serving money instead of God. Lees meer

    The episode also unpacks the shocking ending where the rich man begs Abraham to send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his five brothers, and Abraham's response that if they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead. Discover how this connects to the resurrection of Lazarus in John 11, how the Pharisees responded to that miracle by plotting to kill Jesus, and why Jesus Himself rising from the dead is the ultimate fulfilment of this prophetic statement. Learn why waiting for miraculous signs before putting your faith in God may be missing the point, how the Word of God is sufficient to lead us to repentance, and why the upside-down kingdom of God flips everything we think we know about status, honour, and what truly matters in eternity.

This episode unpacks what it looks like to move from performance-driven ministry to restorative leadership, from proving yourself to protecting your heart, and from striving for success to trusting God's definition of what winning actually means. Lees meer

    Tebo opens up about his grandmother's genuine faith that shaped his trajectory, his years in church leadership and pastoral ministry, the burnout and depletion that came from running hard in his twenties, and the healing he experienced when someone finally told him he didn't have to prove himself. Discover what it means to guard your heart above all else, why keeping a soft heart is costly but essential, and how the Lord gives us a tender, responsive heart rather than a stony, stubborn one. This is a story about choosing love daily, recognising where ambition becomes an idol, and learning that your legacy and family may depend on your ability to remain soft.

This episode kicks off week two of the parables series, diving into Jesus' powerful story about a widow who relentlessly pursues justice from a judge who neither fears God nor cares about people, and what it reveals about God's heart for us when we cry out to Him. Lees meer

    Discover why Jesus tells us the explicit purpose of this parable before He even begins the story, what it means to always pray and not give up when prayer feels like hard work, and why spiritual disciplines like prayer are more like going to the gym than we realise. The conversation tackles the reality of unanswered prayers, the tension between God's power and our experience of waiting, and why delays in answered prayer are often about changing us rather than convincing God. Learn what it means to fall back on love when prayers feel dry, how to reflect on God's faithfulness in the small things, and why no one is disqualified from coming to God in prayer no matter how much hurt, rejection, or distance they've experienced.

This episode tackles one of the most discussed yet misunderstood topics in Scripture: the second coming of Jesus, why we don't need to fear it, and how preparation isn't about knowing the details but about staying awake to what God is doing right now. Lees meer

    Discover what it truly means when Paul says the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, why being children of light changes everything about how we live, and the difference between spiritual sleepiness and the sleep of death. The episode dives into the armor of God, the importance of staying prepared not through fear but through faith, love, and hope, and why Jesus' return should motivate us to live with urgency, love others well, and share the gospel boldly. This is for anyone who has ever been anxious about the end times, wondered what it looks like to be spiritually awake, or struggled with how to live faithfully when the future feels uncertain.

    The conversation also unpacks Paul's final instructions to the Thessalonian church, from respecting leaders who serve sacrificially to making peace in community, rejoicing always, praying continually, and giving thanks in all circumstances. Learn what it means to not repay wrong for wrong, how practicing thankfulness leads to humility, and why the shortest verse in the original Bible is "rejoice always."

    Jordan opens up about his mum's arranged marriage, his dad's abandonment when he was just eight years old, and growing up in a performative church culture where faith felt more like an Instagram bio than a real relationship. Discover how God used friendship and the body of Christ to restore what was lost, from a man gifting him expensive fragrance and inviting him into vulnerable conversations, to a friend's dad in California teaching him how to drive and redeeming a childhood promise his father never kept. This is a story of scars becoming lighthouses, of God's intentional humor in writing redemptive stories, and of learning to live for an audience of one.

    The episode also dives into what it means to carry an ache for the fatherless, how branding and storytelling can affirm people's true identity beyond their achievements, and why Jordan is moving to New York City to continue proclaiming a different narrative over those trapped in an orphan spirit. This is for anyone who has grown up without a father, who struggles with performance and proving themselves, who is learning what it means to be seen and loved by God, or who wants to understand how the church can step in and meet the deepest needs in people's lives.

    Join Izzy and Zach for an incredibly powerful conversation with Luke Thornton as he shares his radical journey from being a passionate atheist who debated Christians to encountering the truth of Jesus and discovering that faith is not opposed to reason but deeply grounded in it. This episode unpacks what it truly means to search for truth with intellectual honesty, the moment everything changed when watching a debate that challenged his atheism, and the transformative power of community and Alpha in bringing head knowledge to heart transformation. Lees meer

    Luke opens up about growing up in a completely secular household in Yorkshire, his frustration with Christians who claimed to believe but lived no differently, and the philosophical crisis he faced when realising that atheism left him with no free will, no objective morality, and ultimately no purpose. Discover how a two-hour debate between Sam Harris and William Lane Craig cracked open his worldview, how a Christian in a co-working space invited him to Alpha, and why he stopped swearing overnight the moment he said yes to Jesus.
