That We May See

Paul McCauley returns to the podcast to join Jonny, Luke and Peter for a thought-provoking conversation about some of the most difficult questions people ask when reading the Old Testament.Together, the team explores these challenging topics, addressing common objections and examining them through the wider story of the Bible. Rather than avoiding the difficult passages, they consider how God's justice, holiness and mercy are revealed throughout the Old Testament and ultimately fulfilled in Christ.A recurring theme throughout the discussion is that many misconceptions about God's character arise from an inadequate understanding of two realities: the devastating seriousness of sin and the incomparable goodness and holiness of God. By placing these difficult passages within their biblical context, the conversation offers a fresh perspective on God's moral character.

In this encouraging and challenging episode, Jonny and Joel are joined by Tim Coltman to explore the vital subject of personal evangelism and what it means to share the good news of Jesus Christ in everyday life.Drawing from Tim's experience and practical insights, the conversation considers how ordinary moments can become opportunities for gospel witness, whether in conversations with friends, interactions at work, or relationships within our communities. They also discuss how evangelism has evolved in a digital age, exploring both the challenges and unique opportunities presented by social media, online platforms, and an increasingly connected world.Along the way, they reflect on the biblical responsibility believers have to proclaim Christ, the fears and obstacles that often hold us back, and how we can grow in confidence and faithfulness as witnesses to the gospel. This episode offers both encouragement and practical wisdom for anyone who wants to be more intentional about sharing their faith in a culture that is increasingly sceptical yet deeply in need of hope.
