In this episode, we bring you the first of a five-part series from the 2025 Annual Moore College Lectures, presented by Peter Orr on the subject of “A biblical theology of faith”. These episodes are a lot longer and a lot meatier than our usual episodes, and will be released on Mondays and Fridays until part-way through March 2026.In his first lecture, Peter lays the foundation for a biblical theology of faith by examining how faith is understood and expressed in the Old Testament. From Adam and Eve to Abraham, and through the Law and covenant, Peter shows us how faith is a relational trust in God's word and character. He also addresses common misunderstandings about the continuity of faith across the Old and New Testaments.Watch Peter's lecture online and listen to the Q&A.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 7 November 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 7:1-13 and the unbelief of Jesus' brothers, the world and the crowd.Mark reminds us not to be unsurprised by unbelief. Unbelief comes from the thinking of the world and the challenge of the way Jesus lived, and it can be anchored in and fed by fear. But Jesus is not fazed by unbelief in all its forms. Furthermore, unbelief never has the final word; Jesus does.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

In this episode, from an event hosted by the Centre for Global Mission on Wednesday 23 July 2025, David Williams, Director of Training and Development at CMS Australia, attempts to answer the question, “Is it more strategic to focus mission and ministry resources into receptive contexts and people groups, rather than into unreceptive contexts?”David explains some of the thinking behind the theory of the homogeneous unit principle of church growth and other pragmatic approaches to mission, but takes care to point out that typically, significant gospel advance happens over long periods of time and involves generations of gospel workers—the fruit of whose labour is often not seen until much, much later.Please note: Richard Chin's talk from this event was featured on the Moore in the Word Podcast last week.

Is it the dawn of an utopian age? Or will humans be relegated to the Matrix? It certainly seems that recent developments in artificial intelligence will bring profound changes to our world.

Andy Bannister and Simon Wenham chat with Australian author Stephen Driscoll about God, AI and humans.Stephen Driscoll wrote Made In Our Image: God, Artificial Intelligence and You (2024 Matthias Media). He studied at Moore College, the University of Sydney and the University of NSW. Stephen serves with the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Canberra, where he disciples Christian students and shares the gospel with nonbelievers.

You cannot have life without Jesus. However, you cannot have Jesus unless the Father chooses you and gives you to him.

The Author Events Series presents Harmonia Rosales | Chronicles of Ori: An African Epic  In Conversation with Imani Roach In Chronicles of Ori, her debut book, Harmonia Rosales retells the African myths she has long treasured, crafting an enthralling epic that spans the birth of the universe to the modern world of colonialism and resistance. She writes of the powerful, temperamental deities called the Orishas; of the founding of Yorubaland by the shrewd leader Oduduwa; of the young heroine Eve, born in a time of violence and despair, who would help her people regain their past splendor; and of shimmering serpents and monstrous shadows who stalk the lands of mortals. At the center of these linked tales is the bond, sometimes fraying, between the Orishas and the humans who worship them. It was the Orishas who made humans, and who gave them their most precious resource: their Oris, or destinies. Vividly brought to life by Rosales's artwork, Chronicles of Ori will enlighten and delight readers for years to come. Harmonia Rosales is an American artist from Chicago whose work depicts and honors African myths and the diaspora. She lives in Los Angeles, California. Imani Roach is the inaugural director of the Brind Center for African and African Diasporic Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There she is planning the first permanent gallery devoted to the arts of Africa and its diaspora in the PMA's 150-year history, set to open Fall, 2026. In this role she also works with colleagues across the institution on educational, curatorial and conservation initiatives that center Black art. She was previously Assistant Curator for the Arts of Africa at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York during the renovation and reinstallation of the Michael C. Rockefeller wing's African collection. A scholar of African Modernism and a proud Philadelphia resident since 2012, she has designed and led courses on the arts of Africa at Haverford College, the University of Pennsylvania, University of the Arts, Moore College of Art and Design and elsewhere. She has also worked in the arts journalism space, both as a senior editor at Guernica Magazine and as the first Managing editor of Artblog. Beyond her career as an art historian, she is also a regularly gigging vocalist and a new mom.  Because you love Author Events, please make a donation when you register for this event to ensure that this series continues to inspire Philadelphians. Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable. (recorded 10/21/2025)

As we start to anticipate the time of Advent and ultimately the birth of Jesus, what are some of the contextual things we should be aware of? Each historical period had an influence on God's people. To kick off the "Advent of Advent" mini-series, we are going back to a conversation I had last year with Dr. George Athas. He is a professor at Moore College and the author of an excellent book Bridging the Testaments. Today we revisit his overview of the major time periods leading up to the Roman Empire's arrival on the scene along with his explanation of Jewish thought that makes the gospels' claim that Jesus is from the line of David so explosive.Listen to the original podcast with Dr. Athas Here:  Part 1  and Part 2Find out more about Dr. Athas HERERead more about his book HERESee his many other writings HEREContact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Join Cyndi Parker's  Patreon Team!

This makes the office of overseer an essential ministry in the purposes of God.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

This week marks the 100th birthday of Dick Lucas, one of the most influential evangelical leaders of the 20th century. For nearly four decades as Rector of St Helen's Bishopsgate in London, Dick shaped a generation of preachers and transformed a quiet city parish into a global centre of expository Bible ministry. The influence of his clear, fearless, and creative preaching continues to ripple out through pulpits around the world.We're joined by Peter Jensen (former Archbishop of Sydney and Principal of Moore College) and Phillip Jensen (founder of Two Ways Ministries, former Dean of Sydney Cathedral, and long-time leader of Campus Bible Study). Both were impacted by Dick's ministry and friendship.Dick Lucas was a trainer of preachers. He helped us see what could be done with city pulpits, and founded the Proclamation Trust and Cornhill Course.Our focus is on learning from Evangelical History from a faithful, eccentric, humble servant of Christ. The Church Cothechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore will be suspended for two games in the 2025 college football season, ESPN reported Monday. What's it mean for the Wolverines? Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis discuss it to open this Kings of the North. Then it's onto the heart of the show -- has your Northern college football team had a perfect QB in its history? Based on winning, stats, big plays and legendary aura, has the title of the best QB in your program's history been locked down? Or is it there for the taking? For our 28 Northern teams, the show theorizes that 15 of them have in fact had a perfect quarterback, 9 of them maybe have, and 4 of them have not and are wide open for that title to be taken. From Doug Flutie at Boston College to Marcus Mariota at Oregon, from debates at Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan to open opportunities at Illinois and Indiana, join KOTN for the search for the perfect QB.
