    Tom Wright on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Christians (Part 2)

    In this bonus episode, Mike Bird and Tom Wright complete their exploration of the “seven habits of highly effective Christians”. They discuss what it means to “redeem the time” without turning productivity into an idol, and why rest, reflection and simply “being still” can be deeply faithful uses of time. Tom then reflects on the sacramental life, especially baptism and the Eucharist, as places where God’s story becomes embodied in the life of the church. Finally, they turn to Sabbath, not as a burdensome rule, but as a gift: a foretaste of God’s new creation breaking into ordinary life. Together, the seven habits offer a rounded vision of Christian discipleship shaped by love, worship, Scripture, prayer, church, sacrament and rest.

    MAGA, Meaning and the End Times

    In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Mike Bird and Tom Wright tackle three very different but deeply connected questions about faithfulness in a confused age today. First, they address the growing entanglement of MAGA politics, nationalism and parts of white evangelical culture, asking how Christians can resist ideological capture and recover the way of Jesus. They then respond pastorally to a listener wrestling with chronic illness, suffering and the search for meaning, offering compassion, prayer and a cross-shaped vision of purpose. Finally, they explore how to teach a more biblical hope in church: not escapist ideas of souls flying to heaven, but resurrection, new creation and God dwelling with his people. A thoughtful, searching and timely conversation about politics, pain and Christian hope in our present moment together.Support & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?

    Ephesians 6

    In this subscriber-only bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Michael Bird and Tom Wright conclude their series on Ephesians by exploring the armour of God and the reality of spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6. Tom reflects on how he has come to see this passage not only as guidance for personal holiness, but as a call for Christians to share in the Messiah’s ongoing victory over the powers of darkness. Together they discuss what it means to stand firm in God’s strength, why this battle is never against flesh and blood, and how prayer, Scripture, faith and hope sustain the church in difficult times. Tom also highlights the shield of faith as especially vital when fiery darts of fear, guilt and temptation come. A rich and encouraging final instalment in the Ephesians series.

    Ephesians 5

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Michael Bird and Tom Wright dive into Ephesians 5, exploring one of its most puzzling lines: “Wake up, sleeper… and Christ will shine on you.” Is Paul quoting Scripture, an early Christian hymn, or something else entirely? Tom suggests it is likely an early Christian poem or exhortation, calling believers to live as resurrection people in the light of the risen Messiah. The conversation also unpacks how ethics in Ephesians are rooted in new creation, not detached moral rules. Together, Mike and Tom reflect on holiness, sexual ethics, mutual submission, and Spirit-filled living, showing how Paul’s vision is far more integrated than we often realise. This episode offers rich insight into how theology and everyday Christian behaviour belong together.
