To help you think biblically, about unbiblical thinking.

Disadvantage - Are my personal weaknesses a cause for despair, or for faith in God's Power?
1 Corinthians tells us that God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty...That no flesh should glory in his presence. Unsurprisingly for the Christian, the flesh is opposed to this. And so we often become preocuppied with our own weakness, and what we believe to be unique disadvantages which handicap us from being anything for God.
In this episode we discuss examples of this from scripture from the lives of Moses and from the children of Israel that illustrate the fallacy of disadvantage. We contrast these with Joseph, Joshua and Caleb, to remind our hearts that in actual fact, the thing most characteristic thing of the true child of God is being an overcomer, not being overcome. Knowing our weakness, we should be driven not to despair, but to the omnipotence of our God.

Discontent - Since God has so richly blessed us, why do we ever focus on having more?
What lessons can we learn from the story of Eden, what fallacy did Eve fall for? Hasn't God blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places? We look at what Philippians 4 teaches us about contentment from a man who found all his needs met in Christ.

Isolation - Are we really alone? Or have we become isolated because of faith in shaky ideas?
In this episode we explore Elijah's struggles with feeling alone. It's a feeling very common to us all, at one point or another. How did he get there? How true were his feelings? And is it possible that it was shaky misguided ideas, and not reality, that made him alone? What is the prescription for such thinking and what can the vast cloud of witnesses in Hebrews teach us?

Pride - Do I understand the folly of pursuing my own greatness vs. imitating Christ?
In this episode we trace the pattern in scripture of how pride inevitably leads to downfall. We reflect on Stockton Rush, a modern day parable of the truth of scripture - and yet very much the spirit of our age, of all ages. We discuss how Paul contrasts this with the weakness and humilation of true Christian ministry in 1 Corinthians 4, and how through imitating Christ, we can live in a way that leads to true greatness.

TRUTH: What is the Flesh?
Listeners may well have been wondering what we are referrring to when we speak about the 'flesh'. In this special Truth episode, we attempt to explore what scripture has to say about the 'Flesh' and address a series of related questions. Will we always struggle with it? Aren't our struggles from the Devil? Does it change anything about my standing with God?

Self-love & Self Hatred - Judah's experience, and triumph
In this episode we explore the struggle that we experience with both self-love and its close cousin, self-hate. We consider the topic through the lens of the life of Judah, his low points, and his ultimate triumph. What did self-hate achieve for him, and how did God's grace ultimately cause this man to abandon self, in-place of love for others?

Evil - Do I understand the inevitable folly of sin, and the blessing of choosing life?
In this episode we unpack the ideas laid out in the book of Proverbs, that no matter how gratifying sin may seem, it all inevitably leads to disgrace and destruction. Which makes it plain stupid. Yet, the converse is also true - and we explore what it means to lay hold on eternal life. Note: this episode's audio was rescued from a technical problem, so apologies if the quality makes for difficult listening.

Comparison - Are we too focussed on others, and not enough on Christ?
In this first episode, we explore the fallacy of comparison. We think about what comparison promises to us, why it falls short and why we should get our eyes on Christ instead. The episode includes an opening segment to lay out the format for the podcast and so runs for 35 minutes.
