In this conversation, Terry Virgo reflects on nearly 70 years of following Jesus, exploring the tension between receiving grace as a gift and continuing to pursue a deep, daily relationship with God. His conclusion is both simple and challenging: grace doesn’t remove hunger—it awakens it. At the centre of it all is a striking principle: the daily responsibility of keeping one’s soul “happy in God....

In this episode of the podcast I continue my conversation with Terry Virgo about one of the most liberating themes in being a disciple of Christ: grace. Many people — even people of faith — live with the quiet feeling that they must somehow prove themselves to God. We try to do the right things, avoid the wrong things, and hope that our efforts will make us acceptable. But the message of the gospe...

In this third conversation with Terry Virgo, we go deeper into God’s lavish grace — and we ask the question that always comes next: If grace is truly free, what stops us from drifting into passivity… or just carrying on as we were? Using Romans 6 from the New Testament, Terry unpacks a simple but life-changing “package” for real freedom:Know what God says is true: in Christ, you died with Him. Con...

S3 E11 What does it mean to grow old gracefully? Welcome to a serious, but light-hearted conversation between two ‘old men’ who at the time of recording were only 69 and 56 years young! Western culture celebrates and idolises youth. At the same time there is a nagging fear of the process of dying and losing control at the end of life. We anaesthetise and distract that fear with amusement. Indeed t...

S3 E10 Is it possible to enjoy lasting friendship – friendship so good that it lasts forever? In a cynical, complex and challenging world, we might wonder at the idea. Cultural forces of individualism, loneliness and suspicion question the ideal. And personal stories of betrayal and disappointment plague our ability to try or trust again.  https://youtu.be/Bsd4VvitXIc And yet a model of friendship...

S3 E08 Friendship allows us to be the best of ourselves. It confirms what we know to be true – that we were made for relationships. Yet many people lack friendship in their lives. They lack the skills to develop close friendships. And so they lack the meaning that friendships bring. Why is this so? What can we do about it? And where can we find the answers? https://youtu.be/C1PogGJwGJk To help us...

S3 07 The path to a fulfilling life isn’t always what it seems. Our culture tells us that: You can be successful and relax You’re important You can do what you want You can have control The world’s your oyster But how well do these messages measure up to reality? Are we dancing with wisdom or with danger when we adopt them for ourselves? https://youtu.be/2lt9291dThg   In this podcast we look at 5...
