While we were recording our mental health series with Dr Dan, we asked what resources he would recommend to get the most out of our brains for the longest possible time. He recommended this book. The Brain Warrior's Way by Daniel G. Amen M.D. and Tana Amen BSN RN. so we thought it would be a fitting way to cap off this series by leaving you with a book review. We hope you enjoy!

Elijah is one of the most notable characters in the Old Testament his life is one of incredible highs and lows. in this episode we explore what might have been going on in his psychology that led him both to the place where he is wanting God to kill him but eventually being one of the few people to be translated into heaven without seeing death.
Pain and suffering is universal to the human experience but Job certainly experienced a highly distilled version of it. His response and that of his friends is fascinating from a psychological perspective. Join us as we explore it with our friend and favourite psychologist.... Dr Dan Banos!
Samson is a fascinating character. He is well known for liberating his people and being in possession of extreme strength, but in other ways he was so weak. What would a psychologist make of this complex man? Listen and find out

With so much being written about the bible it can be difficult to know how to process what is written in a way that is both helpful and true to the text, what do we accept? what do we reject? That's what we explore in this episode.
In some christian subcultures Christmas can be a controversial topic. in this episode we come from very different sides of the fence looking for the approach that Jesus himself would take.
Is self-confidence a health thing to have in our lives or is it a destructive influence? Our view as Christians often is very different to what is taught in the world on self-confidence but is there truths found in both views?
The Kingdom of Heaven is like? The parables of Matthew 13 show an insight into what heaven is and the character of God. What is the kingdom of heaven worth? Are we willing to follow Jesus's example and give up all for it? We also wish Orhue a Happy Birthday!
Cancel culture seems to be an accepted reality today, and while it is important to hold people accountable for their actions is there more to this online phenomenon that we are missing?
Our relationship with God, our goals, our friendships and more are all effected by the season of life we inhabit. So we decided to start a new format called "Seasons of Life" where we get real honest about our lives and hopefully our experiences can equip and encourage you. This episode is about tertiary education and we hope you enjoy it. Even if it isn't relevant to you, you may be surprised to learn more of the stories that make us who we are.
Does everything really happen for a reason? Or do things happen by chance? And if everything happens for a reason is God controlling every little moment in our lives?
In this episode we have a special look at the words of Jesus often highlighted as red letters in your bible.
For most of the world evolution is the unquestioned narrative to explain the world around us, but is it really the best interpretation of the evidence? We had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Don Batten of Creation Ministries international and talk about how the evidence stacks up. You can find out more from the CMI website https://creation.com/.

How often do we double down on a disagreement rather than to agreeing to disagree? Or even demonise someone rather than trying to see why they believe, what they do; to see the humanity behind the belief rather than just thinking I am right they are wrong, and they are a bad person because they don't agree. Ultimately, we need to be showing love to whomever we are disagreeing with.
In this week's episode we continue our Exodus 2.0 series, with the question of what issues drive the heart to pull away from church?
In this week's episode we continue our Exodus 2.0 series, with the question what pressures do we face as Christians to leave the church from the outside?
In this week's episode we start a new series called Exodus 2.0, why do young people leave the church? This is a topic that our church movement has struggled with and is a question many churches wrestle with. In part 1 we discuss issues that come from within the church which ultimately leads young people out the door.
It is hard to believe we are at episode #200 and as we pass that milestone we decided it was time for a change.
There are so many interpretations stacked around the mark of the beast. Many of which fan the flames of conspiracy while others totally deny the responsible reading of scripture. In this episode we dive past the "right answers" and look for the deeper principles at work.
Deception is a common weapon in any evil playbook so it's no wonder Jesus had so much to say about it, but what about when satan tries to pull the ultimate masquerade and impersonate Jesus? How should we process that as Christians?
Have you ever tried to cut a deal with God? How did it work out? In this episode we ask that question and look at How God really wants us to relate to him in those times of struggle.
Most people who are pursuing a relationship with God rightfully fear pride, sometimes we even deflect the praise of others as a safety measure, is that a spiritually mature maneuver or are we missing something at the core of the issue?
In this two-part episode we talk about resilience, and what it is and how we can intentionally build resilience up so that we can live better lives even through the bad times

Eccumenism is a movement or tendency toward worldwide Christian unity or cooperation. While we would all agree that trying to work together in unity for the salvation of humanity is wonderful; the question is would do we find common ground and do we lose something of our faith's identity when we do work together?
In this week's episode we do a study on the word Sanctification and how it is a process of us becoming more Christ like, we can see a great example of God's work in us in this process in the sanctuary
This episode is our first word study and in it we look at how the bible defines and explains submission, in particular with how we relate to God. We also compare that with the submission between our fellow human beings for example inter-generational submission.
Christians spend so much energy trying to prove God is real. Is that even possible? and if it is, is it helpful? In this discussion we unpack those questions and have a good laugh along the way.
Finding problems with churches is like a sport, people love it, and it has a degree of utility. Blindly praising a church is also easy, but it has little value. Being honest about the good and the bad is much more difficult and infinitely more helpful. We have focused on the bad in a previous series, in this one we are Balancing the discussion by looking for what was done well. In this week's episode we talk about health and how when it is looked at in a holistic view it has a spiritual aspect which is important, as our health affects our walk with God.

Today we are looking at True Education and how a holistic model allows for more rounded human beings that can relate to others better, rather than a specialist approach.

Often we talk a lot about the things the church messed up (which we should do if we are to improve) but this episode is our launch pad for a new series devoted to things the church got right. Some of them may surprise you, and If we have missed any, please let us know as always we want to hear your feedback.
Matthew 24 has such relevance to us today, but so many people read it at a surface level and interpret it in a traditional way. While we are not saying that is incorrect, there is much more to it we don't talk about. Join us and read Matt 24 afresh.
Euthanasia can be a polarising topic with passionate views no matter what side of the fence you sit on. In this conversation we attempt to put prejudice aside and talk about both sides of the issue. It is a heavy topic and obviously we talk about mortality and death in general, so consider that a warning if you are sensitive to the topic. If you are ready, jump into this ep with us!
Have you ever tried to "Fake it 'till you make it"? was it effective? We break down what this looks like when applied to our faith, ways it might even be healthy and when it is not healthy how to escape the spiral.
After 5 years we finally have a home. and we are moving to video, and there are a few things you need to know...https://austabletalk.com.au/give/
The sexual binge and purge cycle is a silent brokenness that is carried around by so many. Including christians, pastors, men and women. We would even say that if you have never experienced it, you certainly know someone who has. This is a problem that thrives in darkness, so we are bringing a floodlight to the conversation.
Mothers are the unsung heroes of our lives, it is all to rare that we pause to reflect on their power and value. In this episode we reflect on the role of mothers, our own experience and how we can relate to them the way God wants us to.
What is your calling? is it the same thing as your career? should it be? This is exactly the question that was sent to us! So in this episode we process all these ideas and also share about our own callings.
So many people wrestle with the idea of dating outside their faith community. In this episode we attempt to take a balanced look at the issue, avoid the dogma and provide some practical thoughts on how to approach this idea.
We reflexively throw around the question "How are you" almost as a default polite greeting, never truly expecting an honest reply. In this episode we talk about the importance of digging past the surface and at the end we all answer the question truthfully.
Managing relationships is always a challenge, and the rules of engagement get even more fuzzy when you add faith to the mix. Your theology inescapably alters how you relate to others. in this episode we try to make sense of it all and share some of our own experiences. We also welcome to the table for the very first time.... Matthew DeRossi!
If God knows the heart and will save us as long as our motives are right, is bad theology really that dangerous? We unpack some false assumptions and explore the true place of theology, doctrine and Gospel.
Your friend is going through a tough time. You want to be there for them but can't relate to their experience. How can we support them without coming off as insensitive, disinterested or pushy? That is exactly the question we tackle in this week's episode.
