Join Zoe and Solomon for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Belle Tindall, a Johannine scholar with a doctorate in John 4. Together, they explore the story of the woman at the well, unpacking what it means to encounter Jesus at the point of our deepest disqualification, how Jesus dignifies and restores her by revealing himself as the Messiah, and why her instinctive come and see invitation to her community is the most beautiful model for how we speak about Jesus today.

Join Zach and Solomon for an incredibly powerful exploration of Psalm 24, unpacking what it means to recognise that the earth is the Lord's and everything in it, who can ascend the mountain of the Lord with clean hands and a pure heart, and how the King of Glory enters through the gates not as an invader but as the rightful owner returning home. This episode dives deep into the majestic opening declaration that God founded the earth upon the seas and established it on the waters, revealing how even chaos and uncertainty are under His authority and control, why the mention of the God of Jacob reminds us that grace is sufficient for tricksters and scoundrels like us, and how this psalm would have been read as Jesus entered Jerusalem on a Sunday and ultimately as He ascended through the gates of heaven on our behalf.

Join Zach and Zoe for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Belle, a scholar, podcaster, and writer, as she shares her journey from growing up in a Christian family in rural Wales while being deeply embarrassed about her faith, to becoming a theologian who writes about spirituality, the wilderness, and what it means to meet people where they're at with genuine curiosity and generous grace. This episode dives deep into Bella's story of living a double life, hiding her faith from friends and classmates out of fear of judgment, and how she eventually learned to die to that embarrassment and step into her calling to study theology and teach the Bible.

Join Zach and Izzy for an incredibly powerful exploration of Psalm 1, unpacking what it means to walk in the way of the righteous versus the way of the wicked, how meditating on God's word day and night transforms us into trees planted by streams of water, and why true blessing comes not from following the counsel of the wicked but from delighting in the instruction of the Lord. This episode dives deep into the contrast between two ways of living, revealing what it looks like to be rooted in God's presence rather than blown about like chaff in the wind, how meditation in the Christian faith is about filling your mind with Jesus rather than emptying it, and why growth isn't always visible but fruit comes in its season when we remain planted by the streams of living water.
