And we're back for another season! This time we're delving into Paul's letter to the Philippians - a letter full of Jesus and the joys of partnering in the gospel together, and we cannot wait to get started! On that note, did you hear about how you can partner with us?  We'd love it if you would consider partnering with us financially over the next couple of weeks! Everyone who...

And just like that, another season is wrapped up.  Today we’re reflecting on John chapters 6-12, and our big takeaways from this section of John’s gospel.  Remember that you can access any of the transcripts to our online Bible studies on our website, as well as questions to dig into the passage a little more.

We’re nearing the end of our section in John’s gospel with an extraordinary prophecy from the high priest, Caiaphas, hinting at what kind of death Jesus would endure, and for what purpose it would accomplish.  As ever, we’re chatting this part of John’s gospel through over a cup of tea and biscuit, and we’d love you to join us for our twenty minute Bible study.

Astounding hope in the midst of the deepest of griefs.  It’s an extraordinary claim from the lips of Jesus, and an even more extraordinary proof as he delivers on that claim.  Join us as we look afresh at Jesus raising Lazarus from death in John 11 today.

From Shepherd to Son, Jesus provides increasing clarity on who He is for those around him, and yet the responses are stark.  Which begs the question, ‘How are we responding to Jesus today?’ Join us for our  next conversation in our Bible study in John’s gospel.

Rich and comforting words from the lips of Jesus today as we dwell on what it is for him to be the Good Shepherd, the one promised from long ago.  As ever we’re driving these words to our hearts in our online Bible study over a cup of tea and a biscuit.

An astounding healing coupled with both worship and disbelief from those around Jesus.  Come and join us for chapter 9 of John’s gospel as we wrestle with Jesus’ own words and why he says he has come.

We’re delighted to welcome Courtney Doctor onto the podcast today as we delve into the whole of John chapter 8.  Courtney is an author and Bible teacher, and currently serves as Director of Women’s Initiatives at The Gospel Coalition.  Together with Joanna Kimbrel, she has recently written a Bible study on the ‘I Am’ sayings in John’s Gospel entitled Behold and Believe. For some bible study questi...

With yet more mind-blowing references to the Old Testament, Jesus is making it very clear to all those around him just who he is and why he has come.  Come and join us for this next part of John’s gospel, as we marvel at what he is promising to all who believe.

Saturated with Old Testament Imagery, our passage today follows swift on the heels of Jesus’ extraordinary feeding of the 5000.  There are some big verses here today, and some surprising reactions.  As ever, we’re chewing over this portion of John’s gospel with a cup of tea and looking at what it looks like to truly apply this to every day life as Christian women.

We’re straight into the big stuff today, as John shows us his eye-witness account of two astounding miracles, confirming just how glorious Christ is, and how much we’ve got to look forward to in this group of chapters.

John’s Gospel, round 2 here we go! Back in season 4, we read John 1-5, always knowing that we’d pick up where we left off at some point.  Well, now is the time.  We’re excited to get stuck into chapters 6-12 this season.  Today, we’re giving a recap of all that’s happened up to this point in the gospel of John, as well as picking out a few themes that we’ll be seeing in the next few weeks.  We are...
