Ep 96: Where Are The Kids?
‘Jesus loves the little children’, as the song says, but Chris and Pete question whether our churches kind of hide them away. How are children better at the kingdom life than adults? Do we put as much value on what our children think and know as Jesus does? What are we missing by leaving our…

Ep 93: Do I Self Care?
As holiday season descends, Chris and Pete slip into the bubble bath to wind down. But, is that the wrong thing to do? What is self care and how has it become an industry rather than a life style? Did Jesus get his nails done? How did HE take down time? Have we got self…

Ep 89: Are You a Colonialist?
Chris and Pete invade the world and look at how we do it. Are we ourselves, being colonised? What ‘invasions’ do we not see?

Ep 59: Drinkin’ With Jesus
Chris and Pete pull the cork on an event that has torn apart churches and communities for generations, when Jesus turned water into wine. What was he thinking?! They ask what it means to us today. Did Jesus get folks drunk? Is he okay with wine? Or are we just doing what we want and…

Ep 8: Feel the Burn
Chris and Pete are both in pain. Physically. That’s what you get for exercising. Surely life is better if we don’t suffer? Surely, God doesn’t want us to suffer? And yet, we follow a ‘suffering servant’, so is suffering… Good?
