    Ep 42: It's Not Good For Man To Be Alone

    Genesis 1 & 2 describe humanity as being made in the image of God, male and female, and that it is not good for humans to be alone. In this episode #42 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we discuss how part of the goodness of creation before the fall was in the relationships humans had with each other, the creation and God.

    Ep 41: Genesis 1 & 2 - The Foundation For The Whole Story Of The Bible

    The first 2 chapters of Genesis lay an important foundation for the whole story of the Bible. How we read these chapters effects how read the rest of the story. In this episode #41 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we discuss how to read the early chapters of Genesis as "true myth"; the creation as God's temple; the relationship between creation and humanity; what it means to rule and subdue; and what it means to be "Sons of God".

    Ep 40: Where Do We Go When We die?

    In our previous podcast episode we made the claim that no one goes to heaven when they die, that instead the destiny of the people of God is to have resurrected bodies on a new earth. But then, what happens to us before then, between death and the time of resurrection? In this episode #40 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we discuss what the New Testament has to so say about what happens to us when we die. The discussion includes the parable of the rich man and Lazarus; passages from the apostle Paul in 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians; the judgement scene in Revelation; heaven, hell, Sheol, Hades, Gehenna and Paradise.

    Ep 39: Heaven Is Not Our Destination

    Many Christians believe that we go to heaven as disembodied souls when we die, and that heaven is our final destination for spending eternity. Neither of those ideas are actually biblical. In this episode #39 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we discuss what the Bible actually says about our final destination - a new earth with resurrected bodies.

    Ep 38: What Is Biblical Faith? // Faithfulness, Believing Loyalty & Allegiance

    What is faith? What is the relationship between the words "faith" and "believe"? Does God have faith? Faith is most commonly understood these days as a religious word, but in the 1st Century context of the New Testament it was a widely used societal term, with different connotations to the way we use it now. In this episode #38 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we discuss what faith means, as used in the Bible. Books referenced in this episode: - "Salvation By Allegiance Alone" by Matthew Bates - "The King Jesus Gospel" by Scot McKnight - "The Unseen Realm" by Dr Michael Heiser - "Paul And The Language Of Faith" by Nijay Gupta This episode is also available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/08vp80Fnx04 Find us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thegodwitpodcast Contact us through our website at https://www.godwit.com.au/contact/

    Ep 37: Justification By Faith vs Works - A False Dichotomy?

    According to the bible we are justified by faith, not by works. But what does that mean? In this episode #37 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we discuss what faith and works of the law mean in Paul's letters, and why faith and "good works" are not mutually exclusive in defining who the righteous are.

    Ep 36: Justification In Context // Old vs New Covenant

    To really understand justification in the New Testament it needs to be understood in the right context. In this episode #36 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we discuss how a distorted grand narrative of the Bible as well as a distorted understanding of the New Testament context has led to a distorted understanding of justification. Instead justification in the New Testament needs to be placed in the right context: the transition from old to new covenants.
