    114: The joy of hearing Revelation with Tom Schreiner

    In this episode of the CCL podcast, Peter Orr speaks with Tom Schreiner, who has recently released a couple of books on the Book of Revelation. Tom helps us think about how we should read the book and talks about its relevance for the Christian life.

    113: Technology in a post-truth world with Lionel Windsor

    In our last episode, we heard from Lionel Windsor, who talked about his new book, “Truth Be Told: Living truthfully in a post-truth world”. In this episode, we’re going to focus in on one chapter in Lionel’s book, looking at how, as Christians, we can live truthful, godly lives in a world that is becoming more and more technologically complex.

    112: Telling the truth with Lionel Windsor

    112: Telling the truth with Lionel Windsor

    Jesus told his disciples that he is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). The truth is absolutely vital to us as Christians. But in an era of fake news, media spin and social media manipulation, it’s never been more important as Christians that we are clear on what the truth is and how we as Christians should live as truthful people.

    In this episode, Peter Orr talks to Lionel Windsor about his new book, “Truth Be Told”, which sees to help Christians live truthfully in a post-truth world.

    111: The transfigured Jesus with Patrick Schreiner

    111: The transfigured Jesus with Patrick Schreiner

    Matthew, Mark and Luke all describe Jesus ascending a mountain and then being transformed in front of three of his disciples (Matt 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-10; Luke 9:28-36). This is the event that Christians call the “transfiguration”. But why is it such an important event? What does it actually tell us about Jesus? Does it have anything to do with the Christian life?

    In this episode, Peter Orr talks to Dr Patrick Schreiner of Midwestern Baptist Seminary in the United States. He’s just written a wonderful book on the transfiguration, and he shows us just how vital and important this event is for understanding Jesus and for living the Christian life.

    110: Hope for the hopeless with Ben Gray

    110: Hope for the hopeless with Ben Gray

    How can we as Christians care for those who are on the margins of society? How can we share the hope of Jesus with those who, from a worldly perspective at least, look like they have the least reason for hope?

    In this episode of the CCL podcast, Peter Orr speaks to Ben Gray, minister of All Saints Petersham in Sydney’s Inner West, about how as a church they reach out to the homeless with the hope of the Jesus.

    109: The power and pain of perseverance with Mark Thompson

    109: The power and pain of perseverance with Mark Thompson

    Christians can often be caught off-guard by how difficult life can be. When grieved by loss, deserted by friends and family, faced with a hostile workplace culture or plagued by an existential crisis, it is easy for Christians to be tempted to give up or to doubt God’s goodness. Yet the Bible encourages us to persevere in the midst of hardship, reminding us that suffering is not a sign of God’s absence, but of his good presence. The storms of life we weather serve to refine our faith as we hope in his promises.

    But how can we build perseverance within ourselves? What does it mean to remain steadfast in our day-to-day walk in Christ? If we experience doubt, are we in danger of falling away? In this episode of the CCL podcast, which features the audio from our October 2023 event, Moore College principal Mark Thompson considers these things as he shows us how Christians can persevere even when we face trials of various kinds.

Great Podcast

Refreshing. Clear. Thoughtful. Enjoyable. Not sure how to write 'doesn't take itself too seriously in light of the serious and helpful nature of the content/topic'. After just the first few episodes I had a number of assumptions challenged. This is certainly worth tuning in to each time an episode comes out.
