    271. Is It True That All Sin is Equal?

    271. Is It True That All Sin is Equal? In this episode, Cris looks at the great question of whether all sins are really the same in God’s eyes, and why Jesus never actually said that they were. Drawing on the words of Christ from the Gospels, he explores how Scripture speaks of greater responsibility, greater harm, and greater accountability, especially where power is abused and the vulnerable are hurt. This episode unpacks the difference between weakness and wickedness, justice and mercy, and shows how a careful reading of Jesus’ teaching reveals a God who takes harm seriously while still offering forgiveness to all who turn to Him.     Check our Cris' new book - Stuck In The Upside Down.... https://amzn.eu/d/0lyuuzT   Support the podcast with a coffee....

    270. Hell, the Abyss and the God Who Entres Darkness

    270. Hell, the Abyss and the God Who Entres Darkness In this week’s episode, Cris unpacks for us a Christian theology of hell by going back to the Bible, and by taking seriously both Scripture and the stories that shape our imagination. Drawing on themes from Struck in the Upside Down and the world of Stranger Things, this episode explores hell not as a cartoonish torture chamber or Satan’s kingdom, but as what the Bible more consistently presents it to be, the abyss, the pit, the place where life collapses in on itself when cut off from God.

    268. Satan, Myth or Reality? What the Bible Actually Says

    268. Satan, Myth or Reality? What the Bible Actually Says This week's episode, Cris walks us through what the Bible actually says about the evil one, satan, the devil, cutting through speculation and myth to focus on Scripture itself. Tracing the biblical story, we explore who Satan is, how he operates through deception and accusation, the nature of the evil he promotes, and what the Bible says about his ultimate defeat. Along the way, the episode keeps Jesus at the centre, reminding us that Satan is not an equal opposite to God, nor the ruler of hell, but a defeated enemy whose power has been broken at the cross and whose final judgement is certain.

    267. Should Christians Watch Stranger Things?

    267. Should Christians Watch Stranger Things? In this episode we explore the big question, should Christians watch Stranger Things, and why the answer is not as simple as yes or no. Instead, we look at how followers of Jesus can practise wise and thoughtful discernment with the stories we take in. The conversation moves beyond rules and into formation, asking what shapes our imagination, what draws us towards Christ, and what quietly pulls us away.   Support the podcast with a coffee....

    266. Why Am I so Impatient and How Do I Become More Patient (Virtue 7)

    266. Why Am I so Impatient and How Do I Become More Patient (Virtue 7) In this episode, we take a thoughtful look at patience, why we lose it, and how it can be rebuilt in everyday life.  We also explore how the Bible frames patience, drawing on passages that reveal God’s character, the role of the Spirit, and the way waiting becomes an act of trust rather than frustration.  Finally, we offer practical steps for growing patience in real situations, helping us respond with clarity rather than reaction. This episode invites us to slow down, notice what is happening within us, and choose a posture that brings strength, steadiness, and hope to the moments that test us most.   Support the podcast with a coffee....

Jesus shows us a better way to navigate life’s hardest moments, offering a pattern we can follow in our own struggles.

    264. Love that heals, Charity (Virtue 6)

    264. Love that heals, Charity (Virtue 6) In this week’s episode, we explore the heavenly virtue of Charity-love in action, the virtue that heals both giver and receiver. We’ll look at what true charity really means, why it’s more than generosity, and how it becomes the antidote to greed and self-interest. Through story and reflection, we’ll unpack Augustine’s warning that “charity is no substitute for justice withheld,” and consider how love that is real must also be fair. Join us as we ask: how can we live out a charity that not only comforts but also transforms?   Support the podcast with a coffee....
