Episode 15 - Is God a Moral Monster?
Send us a text One of the biggest problems young adults can have with the Bible concerns passages in the Old Testament which critics say seem to portray a God who is angry, and prone to arbitrary violence. It seems so different from those famous passages in the New Testament that talk about love. Can the same God say such wildly different words? How do we defend the OT?

Episode 14 - "Love your enemies"...even terrorists?
Send us a text Jesus says: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven”. This has been called the most radical ethical system ever uttered in human history. How does it apply to terrorists?

Episode 13 - The Cross
Send us a text The death of Christ is at the very heart of Christianity. Christians don’t regard Jesus’ death as an embarrassing failure. They see it as an integral part of God’s plan for the Universe. But at first sight it really makes very little sense. How could the death of a man 2,000 years ago achieve anything for young people living in the 21st Century? And how do we defend the rationality of Divine punishment? What happened during those hours of darkness? Listen to Episode 13 as we seek ...

Episode 12 - Dealing with Doubt
Send us a text In Episode 12 we talk about doubt. It’s pretty common for young adults to have doubts about their faith. Sometimes we ask ourselves: is all this Christianity stuff actually true? Are my non-Christian friends right when they say that I believe because of my upbringing, or that my beliefs are just a coping mechanism? Or maybe we sometimes wonder if we are a true Christian at all. How should we respond when faced with doubts like this?...

Episode 4 - Suffering
Send us a text Our world is full of pain and suffering. The people we care about die, sometimes in terrible ways. And ultimately we will die too. Our lives are full of physical and psychological hurt. And that raises a problem for those of us who believe in the God of the Bible – the thing we call the problem of pain. It raises significant questions for many people: Why does God allow suffering? Why is there so much suffering in the world? How can a good, all powerful God allow suffering? In thi...
