Some questions sit just under the surface—easy to ignore, but hard to shake. Whether you've followed Jesus for years or you're unsure what you believe, you may have wondered: Can God really be trusted?Maybe you've experienced disappointment and aren't sure what to do with it. Maybe parts of your story make it hard to believe God is good. Or maybe you're still trying to figure out if faith is built on something solid—or just wishful thinking.If you've ever felt that tension, you're in good company.In this episode, Young Adult Associate, Joel Martin, and Laura Aines, Worship Administrative Assistant, lean into the struggle of trust—what it means, why it's difficult, and the question of whether God is actually worthy of it… even if you're just asking for a friend.
When we truly grasp the depth of God's love, it changes us. As we abide in that love, fear begins to fade and a new kind of life emerges—one marked by confidence before God and genuine love for others. Real Christianity isn't about earning love, but living securely in the love already given through Christ. If God's perfect love has reached you, how is it transforming the way you live and love today?

What does a truly Christian life look like? In this message from 1 John 2:1–14, we explore the second mark of true Christianity: a life marked by holiness. John shows us that while Christians are not sinless, they are no longer characterized by sin. True faith produces obedience, love for others, and a growing likeness to Christ.At the same time, this passage offers deep hope. When we do sin, we are not left in despair—Jesus is our righteous Advocate and the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Through Him, both the penalty and power of sin are overcome.

Our July episode about The Long Cosmos, fifth and final of the Long Earth series, is arriving on time! But we still thought you might appreciate a recap and reminder of what happened in the previous four novels. Was this helpful? Were you annoyed by the slight inaccuracies made for brevity? Do you double-dare us to do this for the Discworld series as whole? (Please don't...) Let us know what you think, using the hashtag #PratchatPreviously2 on social media, or get in touch via email or our subscriber Discord. The previous recap, “The Long Footnote”, has a bit more detail on the first three books. Pick up the story in #Pratchat78, “One Step Beyond”, with Joel Martin and Deanne Sheldon-Collins discussing The Long Cosmos. It should be out by the time you finish listening to this recap!
It's the final leg of the Long Journey as Joel Martin and Deanne Sheldon-Collins answer our Invitation! Both previous Long Earth guests return to discuss the fifth and final of Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter's collaborations, the 2016 novel The Long Cosmos. It's 2070, and a message has been received across the Long Earth: “JOIN US.” Joshua Valienté hears it and gets one of his headaches, but he's still mourning the death of his ex-wife Helen, so he rejects the call to adventure. He goes off alone into the High Meggers, despite multiple warnings that he's too old for this shit. Meanwhile Nelson Azikiwe finds and loses a new family, and goes in search of Lobsang for help. And the Next find that the Invitation is more than two words long, and put into action far-reaching plans to bring everyone together to follow its instructions... The last of Pratchett's novels to be published, The Long Cosmos brings the series to a close. (If you need a recap, see our “The Longer Footnote” bonus episode.) Like the previous book, The Long Utopia, this one also takes place on a relatively small number of Earths - but it has its gaze fairly firmly fixed on the stars above, and wears its influences (especially Carl Sagan's Contact) on its sleeve. Who got their epic first contact novel in our weird parallel worlds travelogue? Is this where you thought the story would go? What would your friends be able to predict about you if they kept a detailed spreadsheet? After five books, is this a satisfying conclusion? Join the conversation by using the hashtag #Pratchat78 on social media. Guest Joel Martin (he/him) is a writer, editor and podcaster now based in the UK. He previously hosted the writing podcast The Morning Bell, and produced The Dementia Podcast for Hammond Care. Joel's previously been on the show to discuss The Long Earth, The Long Mars, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, making him our most frequent guest. He recommended the 1989 novel Hyperion by Dan Simmons, along with its sequel The Fall of Hyperion. (There are also two more novels in the Hyperion Cantos series.) Guest Deanne Sheldon-Collins (she/her) is an editor and writer in Australia's speculative fiction scene, working for Aurealis magazine, Writer's Victoria, the National Young Writer's Festival, and as co-director of the Speculate festival. Deanne previously joined us for The Long War and The Long Utopia. She once again recommended Pratchat listener favourite, Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries, which consists of seven novels and novellas. The first is 2017's All Systems Red. As usual, you can find notes and errata for this episode on our website. We're off to Adelaide to be guests at the Australian Discworld Convention, where on Friday 12 July we'll be recording a live episode with authors Tansy Rayner Roberts and Karen J Carlisle! We'll be discussing Pratchett's Discworld short fiction “Death and What Comes Next”, and probably more broadly how Pratchett writes about Death (and death). The story is available online at the L-Space Web. We'll mostly be taking questions from the live audience, but you can also share yours via social media (if you're quick!) using the hashtag #Pratchat79.
