At My Kitchen Table

In this episode, my soon-to-be brother in law comes on to chat about hypocrisy. We talk about how Jesus dealt with hypocrisy from the religious elites at his time and how we see hypocrisy in ourselves and others.  If you've ever been hurt or put off Jesus by the hypocritical Christians you know, this one's for you. 

In this episode, my friend Eve comes on to chat about why she, as a final year physics and astrophysics student, believes in Jesus.  We chat about the limits of science and about the big questions lots of us have asked or will be asking - how can evidence for the Big Bang, Age of the Earth, Evolution be held together with evidence for the Bible being reliable? Aren't they contradictory to each other? Was the Earth created in 7 literal days? We share our reasons for the conclusion we have both come to (spoiler alert: we think they can ;)). Books recommended during the episode:  Can Science Explain Everything? - Prof John Lennox Evolution, Fact or Fiction? - Dr John Blanchard Why believe the Bible? - Dr John Blanchard Can you trust the Gospels? - Prof Peter Williams Case for Christ - Lee Strobel

In this episode, my friend and journalism graduate Dan comes on to talk about how so much of what we see/read/watch/hear is out of our control. We talk about when we care/don't care about truth, what truth even means and why truth is so important in our foundation for faith.  One video we both watched before while we were thinking a lot about this episode is a talk on "Do we need truth anymore" which we talk a lot about and would defo recommend giving a watch if you fancy thinking more about truth! Here is the link for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvkd0-4U6HQ Also one thing we mentioned is a course called Christianity Explored for people interested in researching and thinking more into who Jesus is. Here is a link for that: https://www.christianityexplored.org 

In this episode my big sister comes on and chats about how our society's relationship with satisfaction, and how Jesus has changed her perspective on satisfaction. We talk a bit about our experiences of lockdown, relationships, school and work and why dissatisfaction is even a thing in the first place. 

In this episode, my friend and fellow medical student Eloise joins me to chat about our experiences so far of medical school, meeting patients, thinking about our futures as doctors and how being followers of Jesus has changed that. We chat about how overwhelming the needs of patients can be, our limits and all of humanity's greatest need for an unlimited doctor. 

On the first episode of this podcast, my wonderful housemate Nay joins me as we discuss what it looks like to be at peace with who we truly are. What do people mean when they say you need to love yourself? We share how knowing Jesus has transformed the way we view ourselves and each other.  A special treat from my sister Lydia for those who listen right until the end ;). 

I tell you a bit about what this podcast is going to be like :)
