In light of my participation in Jordan Peterson's Exodus Seminar, I'm continuing with my own commentary on Exodus. This is my second episode on the subject, where I will cover the burning bush in Exodus 3 all the way up to Zipporah and the circumcision of Moses' son in Exodus 4.

265 - The Burning Bush: Exodus 3 - 4

Should nations ever be Christian? Supposedly, we now live in a 'post-Christian' UK, but is this true? Could the UK ever be Christian in future?

With new census data showing that less than 50% of the population of England and Wales now identifies as 'Christian', Dr Joe Boot, Tim Dieppe and Paul Huxley look at what that means for the UK, the societal cost of becoming 'less Christian', and how, as a Christian remnant in this land, we can take steps forward to put Christ at the centre of our nation.

Could the UK ever be Christian again? | Round the Table

Ho! Ho! Ho! In our secular and pluralistic society, the debate rages each year about de-Christianising Christmas to make it more "inclusive". What's at stake when Christians stop fighting for Christian Christmas? Can you strip away the Christian virtues behind Christmas without losing the light, love, joy, peace, and goodwill at its heart? Are there even ways to "re-Christianise" some of the cultural elements around Christmas traditions which many still enjoy? And what are the unique evangelistic opportunities Christmas still offers, even to those who've long forgotten its Christian origins? Andy and Aaron discuss all these questions and more in our festive special episode!

Episode 52 - Who Owns Christmas?

Given the general craziness of the times, last year on Pod of the Gaps we identified six key challenges for the Church to face up to as it seeks to interpret and speak into our cultural moment. 

So at the beginning of yet another year, we thought we'd do it again! Andy and Aaron start off by reviewing last year's challenges, before again doing the all-important live-reveal (unbeknownst to each other) and see what comes out. It's all very exciting ...

Episode 53 - Six Challenges for the Church in 2023

Os Guinness "spoke on the phenomenon of modernity in our world and the challenges (as well as opportunities) it presents for followers of Jesus."

"Os Guinness is an author, a social critic, and member of the RZIM speaking team. Great-great-great grandson of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer, he was born in China in World War Two where his parents were medical missionaries. A witness to the climax of the Chinese revolution in 1949, he was expelled with many other foreigners in 1951 and returned to Europe where he was educated in England. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of London and his DPhil in the social sciences from Oriel College, Oxford. Os has spoken at dozens of the world’s major universities and spoken widely to political and business conferences on many issues, including religious freedom, across the world. He is currently a senior fellow at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics and lives with his wife, Jenny, in the Washington, DC, area."

"According to the American Heritage Dictionary, apologetics is “formal argumentation in defense of something, such as a position or system.” A Christian “apologetic” is not an apology as we usually use the term, that is, to say you are sorry for something. We use the word “apology” in the sense that we give a defense of the Christian faith. Apologetics comes from the Greek word apologia, “to give an answer.” 1 Peter 3:15 gives us the defining statement: “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer (apologia) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” The Scriptures do not divorce the content of apologetics from the character of the apologist. The apostle Peter, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, knew the hazards and the risks of being an answer-bearer to the sincere questions that people would pose of the Gospel. For that very reason the Scriptures give us a clear picture of the apologist: one who has first set apart Christ in his or her heart as Lord, who then responds with answers to the questioner, and does so, with gentleness and respect."

The Gospel?

Os Guinness: Public Faith In A Cultural Moment (with Q&A)

"Christ says "Give me All. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don't want to cut off a branch here and a branch there, I want to have the whole tree down. I don't want to drill the tooth, or crown it, or stop it, but to have it out. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours." (Scholar C.S. Lewis)

"Our desire is that these messages may be a supplement to your spiritual feeding at church and not a substitute. The advantage of Soundcloud in our modern world is an incredible privilege in order to develop in Christ yet they can become a source of mere information without practical wisdom and application. We pray that these messages may be of the greatest benefit to your life, in the transforming process of God's Holy Spirit to the glory of God."
