21 Dec 2021Season 3 Episode 7 | Rebuilding From The Rubble: Reminders of Return, Recovery and Re-imagination00:52:54

The seventh in our season of conversations about Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.

We're talking about dreams and visions in this episode, so after some chat about our dreams, there's a Glover's Off on naff Christmas services, and later on a Gem from Jen on children in an inter-generational church community.

The main discussion is on the book of Zechariah, a book that we don't often hear preached on. What do we do with the difficulties we encounter here? What about misogyny? And what on earth can we find here to help us in our current situation? 

This episode was engineered and edited by Aimee Higgins.

12 Feb 2021Episode 24 - Still a Good God00:32:39

The last time we read these passages the world was a completely different place.

So what has changed? How can we talk about the goodness of God in a time of pandemic - we’re far from out of the woods - and over the last year we have seen loss, trauma, suffering experienced across the globe.

So how do these verses help us understand God’s goodness when there is so much to mourn? How do we deepen the response beyond the superficial?
