Mid-faith Crisis

In this episode we think about the metaphors we use for our relationship with Jesus. Are we friends of Jesus? Or followers? Or slaves? Does the relationship feel different at different times in our faith? And will Joe and Nick's relationship survive the revelations about tea?

We return to the subject of grace, forgiveness and justice. Are all sins really the same? If so, what do we make of 'serious sin'? Is the evangelical view of sin secretly Catholic? And has Nick accidentally created a new category of sin?

We talk about self-understanding (and our apparent lack of it), and reflect on whether you can have seasons of spirituality. And, in the light of revelations about another major Christian teacher, we discuss how you can never fall from grace, you can only fall into it.

New year, new podcast. But same old us, sadly. Anyway, good to be back with you. This week we visit some old emails and talk about the 'right' way to grieve, how names for God are a bit like old streets, and why Jesus might be a dance teacher. Normal service has resumed, then.

In our final (probably) podcast for 2025, we each look back on the three things we've learned this year. Which doesn't, apparently, include (a) watching the Ashes and (b) not eating mince pies while recording. Happy Christmas everyone and a massive thank you to everyone who has supported the podcast this year.
