Mr Fantastic is BACK with a special segment of the podcast that's very near and dear to his heart - 5am thoughts! This episode, Mr Fantastic provides and insight into one of his favourite Christian songs of all time, I don't mind waiting - William McDowell. As Christians, are we rubbish at waiting? What does God's word say about waiting? Is impatience a sign of mistrust in God? Mr Fantastic explores the topic of “waiting” in this segment of 5am thoughts, so sit back, relax, and delve into his mind, in these 5 am thoughts.

Welcome back to another episode of OverTime - this week, Mr Fantastic and Rich walk us through their understanding of Holiness. Is holiness the same as moral correctness? What are God's standards of holiness? Why must we be different to the world? Does holiness = perfection?… In this episode of OverTime, our hosts explore what it really means to be holy, and why God requires it from us in this day and age. Finally, shout out to H - come home, bro!

What does it mean to “obey God”? If God “is the same yesterday, today and forever," why do so many disobey His commands? In this episode, we take a “zoomed out” approach in answering the topic at hand, by looking at what obedience looked like in the Old Testament, drawing on the parallels we see between then and now, and looking at the consequences of disobedience - no matter the century. Sit back, relax and zone into the latest episode of OverTime, with host Mr Fantastic, and Co-Host Richardson (H was there in spirit).

As many are aware there's a much-debated topic around the End Times, especially around the frequency of the events unfolding from the Bible and the likelihood of Christ's return. Today's episode, therefore, touches on the importance of being vigilant to the warnings of Jesus' return whilst ensuring to live a fulfilled life in line with the promises of God. It also acknowledges the reality of the world and that Christian standards are of a high bar that should be embraced and not despised.

Today's topic is about understanding the aim of Christian music. We touch on the difference between Christian music and gospel music and recognised gospel music should embed a message about transformation and the good news. Throughout, we discussed and highlighted that there is a spirit behind every song that many fail to understand. Interestingly enough, although not planned, we debunked the inaccurate perception of gospel drill by breaking down what makes a song drill.

The idea of a perfect Christian is a controversial topic but it is one for all Christians to understand regardless of where they stand before God. In today's episode, we, therefore, explore the standards of scripture and whether this is achievable. We also touch on the beauty of faith, whether perfection is subjective, the type of relationship Christ wants us to have with him and what a clean conscience has to do with pleasing God.

We recognise that although Christians are called to be good testimonies, but the reality is that Christians are not perfect and are indeed flawed. Therefore we chose to explore the common phrase used by many: "I don't like church people". This episode therefore touches on a range of different areas including the notion of church hurt, the fact society has higher expectations for Christians and whether there is a generalisation regarding 'church people'.

Their union is rare in today's society; providing the perfect analogy that as husband and wife they are each others mirror.

Discussing the reality of married life they highlighted that as humans we are always willing to teach, but sometimes not willing to learn. Yet, through their marriage and their devotion to God they have understood that neither of them are perfect and their marriage requires constant investment.
