Godpod

In this Godpod the team look at the self-emptying if God in Christ and whether this makes Jesus less than God and the Old Testament law and how it should be applied today.

In this Godpod Graham, Mike and Jane look at questions of free will including whether Judas can be blamed for betraying Jesus and what difference it would make if we discovered intelligent life on other planets! 

This Godpod was recorded at a Conference we held in 2013 called the Holy Spirit and the World Today. It involves Graham, Jane Williams, Steve Holmes, Chris Tilling and Julie Canlis, taking questions from the guests at the conference on aspects of the theology of the Spirit.

In this Godpod special guest Elizabeth Oldfield from Theos joins Graham, Jane and Stephen to look at questions surrounding faith and public life. What is the best way for Christians to engage in debates about ethical issues in a way that is helpful and contructive? Are there some subjects that shouldn't be dealt with in the public media? 

In this Godpod Graham, Mike and Jane look at questions surrounding the Holy Spirit. Does the Holy Spirit actually reside inside of us? If so, do the Father and Son reside in us too? Does the Holy Spirit come in waves? Is speaking in tongues an infallible sign of the Holy Spirit?

In this edition, the team looks in some detail at Jesus. Did ‘Jesus’ exist before the Incarnation? Does he appear in the Old Testament? Why didn’t Jesus speak more plainly? Why is he so hard to understand sometimes?”  

In this one, Mike, Jane and Graham ponder the questians of Gods relationship to time, whether He suffers eternally and to what extent He knows and detemins the future. 

The regular team are joined by theologian Lincoln Harvey to discuss whether we should blame God for things going wrong, the purpose of Sport and what different Christians think of Mary.

In this Godpod, Mike, Jane and Graham look at the doctrine of Ascension, the sin of pride and predestination and free will.

In this Godpod, the normal three look at whether you can prove that statistically 'christian life' is the best way of life, how Jesus' personality developed and whether fellowship is compulsory.

In this Godpod, Mike and Graham are joined by Sean Doherty, tutor in ethics at St Mellitus college, to discuss divorce and re-marriage, high church and charismatic worship, and the resurrection body of Jesus. 

In this Godpod, Graham, Jane and Mike discuss the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,  Did Jesus become the son of God at the transfiguration?  And prayer for healing.

Jane, Graham and Mike discuss a number of GodPod listeners’ recent questions including different interpretations of the Eucharist, how Christians should relate to the environment, and is there a possibility that God can sometimes ‘use’ the existence of evil to achieve a purpose?

Jane and Graham in dialogue discuss personal theological and spiritual development, how their own faiths have evolved and the books that have inspired them over the years. They conclude with a discussion on the transformative purpose of theology.  

Graham and Jane are joined by Stephen Backhouse and Chris Tilling. They discuss how we understand and interpret the existence of inequality in the world, whether God reveals himself more to some people than to others and why the Crucifixion happened at a particular point in history.

Graham, Mike and Stephen are joined by Baroness Maeve Sherlock, Labour Peer and former Treasury special adviser. They discuss finding faith later in life, how Christianity transforms our worldview and the role of faith schools in Britain.

This week we join Mike, Jane and Graham in the 'bunker' who welcome Revd Dr Michael Ward, author of 'Planet Narnia' and 'The Narnia Code', to discuss the life and work of CS Lewis.

Mike, Jane and Graham are joined by Graham Kings, Bishop of Sherborne, and former missionary in Kenya, to discuss whether Christian and Muslims worship the same, whether it's ever right to stop evangelising, and whether Jesus was always divine, even when he was a child.

Turning off each other’s microphones, the home team hold the fort this week to discuss psychics, the paranormal and words of knowledge, the relationship between forgiveness and reconciliation, and unpack a question on death in the light of creation.
