For this second episode on the book of Revelation, Paul and Dan get their paper and pencils out and attempt to draw a diagram on a single sheet of paper that represents the whole book! They pick out the markers in the text that open and close the main sections, the sort of audio cues that an original audience might have picked up on. They then start to explore how the structure could be drawing out some of the key points the book is communicating. Check out our show notes to see our drawings and a short explainer video which explains the structure in a little more detail.

Our first anniversary seems like a good time to start a new series! Paul and Dan are tackling the Book of Revelation together. It's mysterious and confusing, but Paul and Dan start by putting it in its place in the Biblical story - right at the transition from the Apostles to the next generation who are taking the early churches forward into ... whatever comes next! They lay the foundations by establishing what kind of book it is and defining an approach which aims to hear the text as it would have been heard by the churches of Asia to whom it was first read. Join us in listening to the message of this amazing piece of literature!

A bit of a change of focus for this episode as Josh talks to Kat about an aspect of faith in the modern world, faith in real life situations, in the here and now. They reflect on what it means to be a believer as part of a community, and specifically, their experience of how believing communities adapted to the pandemic and what they may have learned as we head into a 'new normal'.

Laurence and Dan pick up where they left off in Matthew's Gospel by exploring why Matthew uses the phrase: "the Kingdom of Heaven" so often. When Jesus says "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" what kind of kingdom is he talking about? Is heaven a location or something else? Dan and Laurence discover that the kingdom concept is deeply rooted in the message of Israel's ancient prophets while also carrying a timeless call to action. Intrigued? Listen on... a slightly longer episode than usual, but hey... it's about the Kingdom of Heaven!!
