Conversations of Grace

In this episode Chris and Nathan explain what the whole idea of this podcast is about! It's a bit meta, but actually there's some very helpful unpacking of the gospel and how it works. Both Nathan and Chris each share some of their own story and how they came to experience God's grace in very practical and personal ways. If you've ever wondered if there's more to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus than a transaction on a spiritual realm, but how it has power for you personally everyday beyond an inspirational event, then this episode is for you.

Happy new year and welcome to the first episode of 2023! Our topic for this episode is (appropraitely) on new year resolutions and trying to see them through the lens of the gospel. - Does what we believe about God shape at all the things we aim for? - Is there such a thing as gospel-formed goals? - And why are some of us so resistant to setting markers to aim for?

**MINI-SERIES - 'Gospel conversations with our kids' We're continuing on with a family-friendly mini-series celebrating and exploring ways of having conversations about Jesus with our kids. Our kids made a list of questions they'd like to talk about, including this one: How does God hear everyone's prayers? We've all wondered this at some point... but what answers have you come up with? We came up with some and then talked with our kids about it. And it got deep. Our chat about prayer raised more questions like, 'What nationality is God?', 'What language does God speak?', and 'Can we pray for a pet monkey?' I don't know how well we answer the questions, but I'm glad to be at least be exploring things of God with each other. Have a listen, and then why not have a go discussing these things yourself.

**MINI-SERIES - 'Gospel conversations with our kids' We're continuing on with a family-friendly mini-series celebrating and exploring ways of having conversations about Jesus with our kids. Our kids made a list of questions they'd like to talk about, including this one: Do kids have to believe the same things as their parents? In other words, if your parents are Christians, how much should we try to force our kids to be the same? There's lots of different ways of looking at this, and we definitely didn't talk about them all. But we're trying to apply the good news of Jesus in our thinking here, as well as the way we talk about it. Our hope is that in some way it encourages you to keep having these sorts of chats, or possibly feel better about the conversations you're already having! For some of you, we hope it encourages you to even have a try if you're not already. We're no experts, but we are keen to have a go and willing to let you join us on the way.

**MINI-SERIES - 'Gospel conversations with our kids' We're kicking off a new family-friendly mini-series celebrating and exploring ways of having conversations about Jesus with our kids, so naturally we start with a good old chat about death!? Oh dear, this could go anywhere. We tackled the age-old question, 'Do our pets go to heaven?' AND then we talked to our kids about it, recorded it, and put it up here for you to listen. Our hope is that in some way it encourages you to keep having these sorts of chats, or possibly feel better about the conversations you're already having! For some of you, we hope it encourages you to even have a try if you're not already. We're no experts, but we are keen to have a go and willing to let you join us on the way.

What does the gospel have to do with loneliness??? Everyone goes through loneliness as some point - whether by ourselves or in a crowd, for a short time or a whole season. Sometimes it just feels like we're on our own. The words of the hymn remind us, 'what a friend we have in Jesus', but how is it real? How can the gospel warm us beyond head knowledge when we are feeling isolated and alone? This is what we talked about, and it was actually pretty encouraging. We hope you find it to be encouraging too. **NEW MINI-SERIES COMING UP - check the start of this episode for more information and how you can take part.

Veganism. Good or bad? Wrong or right? Personal choice or moral obligation? Without a doubt this is a complex issue, but wherever you land, we think the gospel has something to say about veganism.

Jared Wilson joined in for a conversation!! We were asking the question, 'Why does the gospel need to be the central message of the Church?', and so we asked the man who has written all about it in books such as 'Gospel Wakefulness', 'The Prodigal Church', 'Gospel Driven Church', 'The Explicit Gospel', and many more, to be part of our chat. We talked all about what being gospel-centred means and why it is important. Jared has some super helpful explanations regarding some of the mechanics of the gospel, how we receive it as good news, and how it actually builds us up. There's a bit of nerdy preaching talk in there too. If you want to learn more about how the gospel 'works', then this is a great episode for you. We pray you'll be built up as you listen.

This is the final, final episode of the dirty words series. We had to do one on actual 'dirty words', ie swearing, or cussing, or however you mean it. Is this even a question? Or has culture dragged Christians beyond even thinking about this? Does God care if we use any old four letter words, or does He have better things to be concerned with? And how does the gospel have anything to do with this topic??!! Well, this is what Nathan and Chris talked about in this episode of Conversations of Grace. We kept it clean.

Another instalment of a mini-series on 'Dirty Words' - as in, words that should probably come up in conversation because they are important Christian themes, but they don't because they feel a little bit... dirty. This week we're talking about an undeniably dirty word: wrath ("do you say 'wroth' or 'wrath'?") In this episode Nathan and Chris get deep into wrath and justice and holiness and more. We hope this episode makes you want to talk about wrath too!! PLUS!! The return of our favourite segment, 'What do you reckon?'

Welcome to the first instalment of a new mini-series on 'Dirty Words' - as in, words that should probably come up in conversation because they are important Christian themes, but they don't because they feel a little bit... dirty. This week we're talking about the dirtiest word: sin. In this episode Nathan and Chris don't just discuss how we approach the topic of sin, but model a real life chat about sin in their life.

Should Christians be minimalists? It feels like a Christian thing, but is it? Nathan and Chris chat about how the gospel informs our view of 'stuff' and whether it leads us to a life of minimalism or not. Plus, we introduce a new segment called 'What do you reckon?' Check it out and let us know what you reckon!

We live in a time when we have never had more content and opportunity to grow in our faith. You're interested in a topic? There's a book for that. You've always wondered about how something works? A friend will point you to a podcast. If you can't find one, there'll be a course you can sign up for somewhere. But simply getting the content into us doesn't necessarily change us. - So how do we grow? - How does God change us, and how do we help make it happen? - What difference does Jesus make to the way we think about growing up in Him? Nathan and Chris chat personally about how they approach growth - including the bits they struggle with and the bits that they see working too.

Get ready to expand your mind in a weird and wonderful episode where we talk about... aliens? Yes, aliens! You know how the Bible has all those passages about UFO's and stuff, well we talked about them. But seriously, it was surprisingly insightful and encouraging. If alien life was discovered, would it change the way we think about God? How does that work with God becoming... human? Can there be multiple incarnations for multiple life forms? Is there any reason to doubt God if alien life was discovered? If you've ever wondered about any of these things, or think it would be fun to for a little while, we hope you enjoy this conversation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tcnd8989/message

SPECIAL EPISODE! In light of the conflict happening right now in Ukraine, Nathan and Chris talk about war and peace and 'what does the Bible have to say'? Included in the conversation today is a mini-conversation with a church pastor in Ukraine to share his first-hand response of what faithfully facing conflict looks like for him. We don't claim to have the answers, but we hope this encourages you to have good conversations about the Bible and the difference Jesus makes to all of life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tcnd8989/message

Do Christians automatically have to forgive everyone that wrongs them somehow? This is the question for Nathan and Chris this week. It turns out, it's complicated. Dealing with relational hurts is one of the most challenging parts of being a human. Nobody is perfect, so we're bound to get hurt at some stage, and probably do the hurting sometimes. So how do we work through that? This conversation is a stroll through some real life experience as well as some key Bible passages that just might bring hope and healing if we can be brave enough to believe the good news about Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tcnd8989/message

Cancel culture is a thing. It happens everywhere - not just online, but in churches, families, and basically anywhere groups of people exist. Been cancelled?  Are you a canceller?  Is it okay to just be a silent observer or an innocent bystander as people are blocked out by action, or even just implication?  In this conversation Chris and Nathan chat all about how the Bible might speak to cancel culture, the dynamics of the gospel in those type of situations, and how they've cancelled or been cancelled in various situations. Have a listen and then have your say with us on social media... just don't be a jerk about it.

Women's rights and feminism are hot topics today and evoke all types of responses. These issues are discussed in the media frequently and many of us feel them in our day to day lives. But how might the Bible shape the way we think about feminism? Should Christians be feminists? How does Jesus impact the conversation?  Hosts Nathan Oliver and Chris Swann are joined by special guest, Hannah Craven, to chat about these questions and uncover how the good news of Jesus can be understood and applied through a feminist perspective.

In this episode in our mini-series on vaccination, Nathan and Chris ask the question 'Should churches meet in segregated congregations (re vaccine mandates)?' We're living in complex times and sometimes the easiest thing to do is try and ignore the issues around us. But as Christians, if we believe Jesus truly is Lord, we must face the questions head on so that we can offer an answer for the hope we have. Our hope for this podcast is for followers of Jesus to embrace everyday issues, learn to talk about them, and let the Bible shed light on how we think about and engage with the world around us. These conversations don't reflect all of our opinions. We know we're wrong a bunch of the time. But our heart is to grow in the gospel through honest dialogue. We hope you do too.

There is a lot of fear in the world today - we are living in uncertain times. Have you felt it? Maybe it's because of the global pandemic we are facing right now, or perhaps times like this just make us aware of how out of control we truly are. But even before 2020 people were experiencing fear in forms ranging from completely debilitating life events, as well as less obvious subtle, nagging thoughts. How do you experience fear? Does the good news of Jesus have anything to say to that? Absolutely! In this episode Nathan catches up with Kristen Wetherell, author of the fantastic book, 'Fight Your Fears' to talk about all these things. Kristen reminds us that God commands us to fear Him - the good sort of fear - and that it's the fear of the Lord that actually puts every other challenge into a perspective of Biblical truth. Kristen is so smart and so relatable as she faithfully points people to Jesus as the answer to our fears. Hopefully this is an encouraging conversation for you wherever you are at today. Enjoy grace!

We're pausing on this season's topic of relationships to take a look at a few other matters that are impacting people today, in particular, regarding the time of Covid that has challenged us all. In this episode Nathan chats with Chris Cipollone, author of 'Down Not Out' about mental health matters such as depression and anxiety.  With his own story as a backdrop, Chris shares a compelling view of how God gives help to those of us facing mental health challenges. You will appreciate Chris' honesty and vulnerability while actually offering a well thought through perspective on a topic that Christians and their communities need to talk more about.  Some of the questions discussed in this episode are: - How do mental health issues and faith in Jesus coexist? - What does it look like to practically love fellow Christians who are struggling with depression and anxiety? - What difference does Jesus actually make to how we think about mental health? I pray that you find this conversation encouraging and that it helps you continue on a conversation in the churches and faith communities you are part of. Have a listen and share it with a friend!

Does the gospel actually work in real life? Like for real, in everyday stuff? This is the question we are always hoping to answer here on Conversations of Grace, so in this episode Nathan catches up with his friend Hope Miles to talk about how Jesus really is good news for single people. Hope loves Jesus and it really comes through as she shares openly about some of her story regarding this topic. Within the conversation you'll also hear Hope talk through some great practical ways she has learned to apply the truths of Jesus to her own heart and in community.

Does the gospel actually work in real life? Like for real, in everyday stuff? This is the question we are always hoping to answer here on Conversations of Grace, so in this episode Nathan catches up with his friends Dan and Tess to talk about marriage (specifically their marriage!) and how the gospel of Jesus is working through it. Dan and Tess share honestly about some of the things that have been in struggle in their relationship and also some of the ways that they've seen God work in and through their relationship.

Nathan catches up with Kimberly Smith - speaker, author, and pastor, to chat through how we think about singleness as church communities, and the difference the gospel makes to how we treat the issue of singleness (and more importantly, single people) in our communities. If you're a married person and part of a church, then hearing what Kim has to say will help you think about how to love often overlooked single people in our churches. If you're a single person and part of a church, then you'll be encouraged by the vision of community that Kim demonstrates in this episode.

Nathan discusses marriage with Abe Meysenburg, pastor for Gospel Shepherding at Summit Crossing Community Church in Alabama. Abe shares about how we can so easily look to our spouses the way we really ought to be looking at Jesus. Here's a snapshot of what you'll hear: "So much of what the world tells us about relationships is that the purpose of marriage is to find a partner who can help you be the best you that you can be. And if you can find someone who you can help become the best them, that's a bonus. But the Bible tells us something quite contrasting: marriage is not about you. Simple. Radical. Different. Our marriages are meant to tell a story about God. It's an illustration, a picture, a poem, a painting, a song... and it's not about us, it's about Him" I hope this encourages you to think about marriage - and all relationships - in light of the gospel.

Nathan chats with Christina Hitchcock, theologian and author of 'The Significance of Singleness', about how the gospel shapes our understanding of singleness and marriage. Christina talks about how the resurrection of Jesus defines our identity now, including our sexuality, and what this means for the church too. It's challenging and encouraging and definitely good news for both single and married people.
