    Why Did Jesus...? (S3EP8)

    Why did Jesus curse a fig tree? Did he really teach in parables to stop people understanding? And can anyone honestly expect to receive "a hundred times as much" for following him? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright unpack some of the most puzzling and misunderstood sayings and actions of Jesus. They explore the strange incident of the cursed fig tree, ask why Jesus sometimes appeared to hide the truth through parables rather than make it clearer, and examine his remarkable promise that those who leave everything for the sake of the gospel will receive "a hundred times as much" in this present age. A fascinating conversation that reveals the deeper meaning behind some of Jesus' most surprising moments.

    Gospel Conundrums (S3EP7)

    Why did Jesus' closest followers so often fail to understand him? Why was he baptised if he had no sin? And if he knew he was about to raise Lazarus from the dead, why did he weep at his friend's tomb? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright explore some of the most fascinating conundrums in the Gospels. They ask when the disciples finally recognised Jesus as the Son of God, what might have motivated Judas to betray him, and why Jesus sometimes appeared to delay helping those who came to him in desperate need, notably the Syrophoenician woman. A thoughtful conversation that sheds fresh light on some of the most intriguing questions in the life of Jesus.

    No More Tears (S3EP6)

    Why don't Christians talk more about the return of Jesus? And what difference should it make to the way we live today? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom discuss why the Second Coming has often been neglected in preaching, whether there are prophecies that still need to be fulfilled before Christ returns, and what Jesus meant when he said that the gospel must be proclaimed to all nations. They also reflect on the striking promise, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth," and what it reveals about God's future for creation. They also ask how Christians should live in the present and talk about how God himself will wipe away every tear. A hopeful and practical conversation about the return of Jesus, the renewal of all things, and living today in the light of tomorrow.

    Armageddon & the End of the World (S3EP5)

    Why does the Bible speak about a new heaven as well as a new earth? And if God is going to renew creation, why should Christians care about the world right now? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright explore some of the Bible’s most dramatic and misunderstood themes: the future of creation, the defeat of evil, and the fate of Satan and the fallen angels. Together they unpack what Scripture means by a “new heaven and new earth”, why Christians should care deeply about justice, stewardship, and even issues like climate change, and how God’s renewal of creation shapes the way we live today. They also tackle big questions surrounding the devil, Armageddon, and the return of Christ. Is Armageddon meant to describe a literal physical battle? Where are Satan and the fallen powers now? And how will Jesus finally deal with evil when he returns? A hopeful and thought-provoking conversation about the end of evil, the renewal of creation, and the victory of Christ.

    Judgment, Rewards & God’s Homecoming (S3EP4)

    What place does judgment have in the story of God’s new creation? Is judgment something Christians should fear? Or is it part of God putting the world right? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom explore the biblical theme of judgment through the lens of resurrection, renewal, and God’s ultimate “homecoming”. Drawing on themes from Tom's new book 'God’s Homecoming', they discuss how final judgment fits within God’s plan to restore heaven and earth together. The conversation tackles difficult and deeply personal questions: What does it mean to store up rewards in heaven? Will our lives and actions really be examined by God? What did Jesus mean in the Sermon on the Mount when he warned about calling someone a fool? And what happens to marriage and relationships in the new creation? Along the way, J.John and Tom reflect on two searching questions that sit at the heart of the Christian faith: 'What did you do with Jesus?' and 'What did you do with your life?'

    Putting the Record Straight on the End Times (S3EP3)

    What will happen when Jesus returns? What does the Bible really teach about resurrection, judgment, and the rapture? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright tackle some of the most debated questions surrounding the end times. Together they explore what Christians can genuinely say about heaven, life after death, the return of Christ, and the future resurrection promised in the New Testament. They unpack Paul’s statement that “the dead in Christ will rise first”, examine where modern rapture theology came from, and ask whether popular end-times teaching has sometimes distorted the biblical picture. The conversation also addresses the sobering question of what happens to those who reject the love of Jesus, as well as the ways apocalyptic speculation can fuel unhealthy ideology, fear, and even forms of idolatrous nationalism. Above all, this episode is about hope, clarity, and readiness: Jesus will return, and the Church is called not to panic or speculation, but to faithful living in the present.

    Heaven, Paradise & Purgatory: What Happens When We Die? (S3EP2)

    What happens when we die? Is heaven the final destination, or is there something even greater ahead? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright explore the Christian hope of life after death and the promise of the new heavens and new earth. Together they unpack Jesus’ words to the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise”, and ask what the Bible really means by paradise. They also discuss what Christians mean when they talk about the “soul”, what happens between death and resurrection, and why the ultimate aim of God’s plan is not escape from earth, but the union of heaven and earth in a renewed creation. Along the way, they examine how different Christian traditions, including the Catholic understanding of purgatory, have approached these questions through the centuries. A thoughtful and hope-filled conversation about death, resurrection, and the future God has promised.
