This week we mainly talk about the Bible. we touch on how it was put together and we share with listeners the Bible verses and stories which mean the most to us. Along the way, Nick does a quick history lesson and Joe reckons that Jesus spoke like a market trader.

Episode 347: Happy birthdays and hard questions
It's our ninth anniversary! So, for a nice, relaxed, party-like topic we talk about Israel. Why is it that so many Christians support modern Israel so strongly? How can we respond when there is so much violence and hatred on all sides? Where is the Kingdom of God in all this? Also Nick has discovered some scriptural golf balls and Joe has been rewriting the Bible. Again.

Episode 345: The uncontrolling God – an interview with Thomas Jay Oord
Joe interviews Thomas Jay Oord. Theologian, philosopher and, it seems, Joe's new BFF, Tom directs the Center for Open and Relational Theology. He share his faith journey with us and discusses the idea of an uncontrolling God, the limits of both science and religion, and how the idea of love shapes everything around us.

Episode 344: Anger, and what to do with it
In a follow up to last week's episode we think more about how to process anger. Joe interviews psychotherapist Becky Francis and we talk about the need for reflective practice, and digging into the anger produced by grief and loss. And in a shock move, Joe ends with a Bible passage.

A podcast for every Christian who has ever asked ‘Is that it?’
Mid-faith Crisis explores the Christian faith with honesty and humour. If you feel that you have more questions than answers, if you feel as though your faith is changing, if you feel that if the worship leader sings that chorus one more time you will strangle him with his own guitar strap, then this is the podcast for you. Warning. Contains traces of theology and occasional innuendo.
