There is a wrong way to think about sex but there is definitely a good way to think about it as well. The Bible writers thought about sex and wrote about it a lot. Before he gets on to marriage, singleness and divorce in 1 Corinthians 7, Paul follows suit. Let's see how he helps us think about this topic biblically and wisely.
This chapter is about marriage, but it's also, once again, about wisdom. Jonny looks at how, in chapter 7, Paul applies his teaching on wisdom and making right judgements from the first 6 chapters.
Judging Others. Kicking people out of churches for sinning. Lists of behaviours that won't be tolerated in the kingdom of God. It can all seem very petty and moralistic. Jonny explores Paul's further instructions on how we should make right judgments in our churches and encourages us to open our eyes to the immense purposes of God that lie behind these tricky topics.
Jonny invites us to follow the example of the wise men, by coming close to Jesus, however far away we're starting.
We all want to see our life's work count for something in the end. How do we ensure that? Paul gives us some clear teaching on the 'building projects' we put our hands to.
We explore how Jesus's death can be viewed in two ways - either as utterly embarassing foolishness, or the supernatural wisdom of God. What do you reckon?
What do you see when you see the cross of Christ? Weakness and defeat? Paul tells us it's actually wisdom (more next week) and power (today's message). How can that be the case? Listen in.
What is God doing in the world? What about in our nation? What happens when the things we see aren't of the type we'd like to see? Jonny helps us to see from the two chapters of Habakkuk.
We hear the first two chapters of the Old Testament prophetic book Habbakuk. Then Jonny helps us see some lessons about our approach to talking to God.
What do we do with... you know... THOSE Psalms, the violent and vengeful ones? Jonny rounds off our series by diving deep into that very question.
Jonny landed our weekend with an immensely practical call to invest in making other disciples of Jesus. This will require us to be radical disciples ourselves, and to live with a willingness to invest in others as examples in the faith.
Jonny wraps up our series in the Gospel Of John. We see two images for Christian activity in the world, and hear Jesus' call for us to embrace both as his church.
Jesus gives his disciples - and us - an exciting picture of the abundant life he invites us to.
A horrid passage today, where the crucified Jesus is taken from the cross, and buried. What do we learn in the darkness of this story? How does the light of God shine through even this?
We get a zoomed-in look at Peter in this passage. We see some great things and some eye-watering failure! Let's learn from him together.
After a review of the story so far, Jonny takes us through Jesus famous prayer in John 17, and draws out some lessons for hard times.
At our Baby Thnaksgiving celebration, we saw why Jesus uses children as one of his key illustrations of what being a Christian is all about.
Jonny explores what we can learn from the evangelical success of the Samaritan woman.
New Year can be time of anticipation and excitement but also a time of anxiety and dread. Psalm 116 helps us to approach times like this in a healthy, faith filled way and leads us towards a lifestyle of restfulness at all times of the year.
Today is episode 100 with my very own running coach and elite marathoner Jonny Mellor. Jonny is a 2:09 marathoner and 10th fastest Briton of all time. He was 2020 British marathon champion and the winner of the 2022 Manchester marathon. He has also been my coach for over 4 years. On this episode, we talk about Jonny's career, insights into how he races and trains for marathons, elite tips for everyday marathoners as well as fitting everything around a young family and running a coaching business. You can follow Jonny and JM coaching on instagram and the website: https://www.instagram.com/jm_run_coaching/ https://www.jmcoaching.co.uk/ Thank you so much for your support over the first 100 episodes and here's to the next 100!
Jesus tells his disciples that it's better that He goes, so He can send the Spirit. REALLY?! SERIOUSLY?! Jonny reflects on these surprising words!
Jonny unpacks Jesus' famous image of the vine and the branches, and explores what it really means for us to abide or remain in Jesus.
Something fundamental but often overlooked that helps me to perform in my own running is my support network - especially my inner circle. Louise and the kids are my biggest cheerleaders but I also have my coach Jonny Mellor, my Dad and brothers and am lucky to have lots of running friends, clients and podcast listeners that push me on too. In this episode, I explore why it's important to have a strong circle and the concepts of 'the sum of the 5 people you spend most time with' and 'plus, equals, minus' - surrounding yourself with teachers, peers and students.

Jesus brings us LIFE! But what sort of LIFE? Is that a now thing or a 'when we die' thing? Is it a here thing, or a 'heaven' thing?
Jonny unpacks this passage in John.
Jonny looks at what is a mystery and what has been revealed.
Jonny explores what it means to be sent by the Holy Spirit
Jonny talks on the topic of 'How does the Holy Spirit form us and what part do we play in this?'
In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Jonny Mellor (@JonnyMellorArt) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024I am an artist strongly influenced by minimalism and geometric abstraction. I use this visual language to create paintings, prints and hand cut paper art . The exploration of colour, process, materials, space and form are central to my practice.I am interested in taking forms, shapes and patterns and combining these with carefully considered colour combinations. I am continually striving to achieve balance and harmony within my works composition and colour pallet.Amongst the barrage of visual stimulation and the overall increasingly chaoticness of life, minimalist art is at rest, creating a quiet harmony and balance which offers the viewer a space of calmness and contemplation.

We look at a story of extravagant worship. But how do we become like that? Is it just a personality thing, for the extrovert emotional types? Or can we each take steps to cultivate a heart that loves to worship Christ?
Jonny surveys the story of Scripture as it relates to slavery. Then, we see some applications for our relationships in the workplace today.
How great a transformation is available for all who believe in Jesus! We see the greatest rags to riches story can be ours through him.
In the midst of a catalogue of errors from those speaking with Jesus, we see the crucial need to see beyond appearances, under the surface, and consider the reality of God in all things.
Join Tom O'Toole from The Broadcast Network in conversation with Jonny Mellor, leader of Sputnik: Faith + Arts, as they talk about his new course, 'Releasing Artists to Renew Culture', on The Broadcast Network. To find out more about Sputnik, you can head to their website:
Jonny shares phenomenally honestly about his own experiences of doubt, including a crisis of faith in recent years. What do we do when we experience huge doubts in our walk with God? This passage and Jonny's story are sent to help us!
We don't have the privilege of seeing Jesus physically (just yet), but we're told in this passage about the importance of seeing him. What does this mean for us? And what does believing in Him really look like for us today?
Jesus does some terrifying stuff in this passage, feeding people with miraculous power and even walking on water. Is the disciples resulting fear something we should also experience? Or should our fears be comforted by knowing Jesus?
Jesus was the true Son of God! In his life, we see - among other things - an example for what living as a child of God truly looks like. Here, we see that to be a child of God is to be a dependent doer.
Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well shows us our deepest needs in life, and how Jesus can meet them.
We find Jesus in this passage NOT gentle, meek and mild, but overflowing with anger. What's that about? Is passionate, zealous, even angry emotion good, bad or ugly? What does it look like to be zealous like Jesus?
We see the conclusion of the whole book of Revelation, with vivid, soul-stirring imagery of life with God in a renewed world! Jonny urges us to thirst for all that the passage puts before us.
What difference do our prayers make? How does God respond when we call out to Him? We look at Psalm 18 before turning to prayer!
Evil has had many names and many faces in this book but in Revelation 20, evil is finally defeated! Amidst some pretty obscure details, Jonny shows us how the coming downfall of evil motivates us to persevere in our walk with Jesus.
Today Tom speaks to @joannaclay_design to unpack some of the topics that Jonny Mellor explored in our last episode. To hear the full version of Wendy Mann's talk click here: https://emmanueloxford.org/talks/are-you-listening-wendy-mann
Long-distance runner Jonny Mellor joins former athlete and LJMU lecturer Kelly Massey to discuss his preparations for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. From the beginning of his professional running career as one of the first Sport Scholars at LJMU, to being signed with Team New Balance Manchester and qualifying for the Games, Jonny offers a fascinating insight into his preparations as the only male runner selected to represent Team England in the marathon. In conversation with, Kelly Massey, the latest edition of the 1823 podcast delves into the minds of elite athletes. From crying during physiotherapy sessions to encounters with Usain Bolt, Jonny and Kelly – a Commonwealth silver and bronze medal holder - share a half hour window into their lives ahead of the beginning of the highly anticipated Birmingham Games.
Deconstructing faith is a contentious topic. Some see it as highly destructive, others deeply enlightening and, for others, it is an inevitability that every person of faith will have to face at one time or another. As we continue our episodes asking 'why we're still Christians?' Jonny opens on why he is still the type of Christian that he is and how his faith has changed in the last few years.

The relationship between Christianity and the arts has always been one of extremes. For long periods of time and in different cultural settings, the two parties have got on fabulously: strengthening faith, promoting beauty, booming out an arresting prophetic voice and working for the common good. At other times… well, it's been a bit of a car crash. Recently, there has been a growing feeling that it's time to attend to this relationship again. Fix broken bridges. Re-examine sources of contention. Explore new ways to co-exist for the flourishing of all. Faith in the Arts is a new podcast that wants to move this conversation forward. And this is our pilot! We're raising money on Kickstarter to record, produce and promote the first season. In this first episode, we introduce the team: Marlita Hill, founder of the Kingdom Artist Initiative as well as a choreographer and author, residing in Southern California. Alastair Gordon, co-founder of Morphē Arts, painter and art tutor at Leith School of Art, Edinburgh. Jonny Mellor, co-founder of Sputnik Faith and Arts, hip-hop artist and church leader, living in Birmingham, UK. Marlita, Alastair and Jonny discuss what they love about the arts, how their experiences of faith spaces affected them, and why there is still need for conversation and encouragement among artists who belong to the church: why there's still room for one more podcast.
