266. Why Am I so Impatient and How Do I Become More Patient (Virtue 7)

266. Why Am I so Impatient and How Do I Become More Patient (Virtue 7) In this episode, we take a thoughtful look at patience, why we lose it, and how it can be rebuilt in everyday life. We also explore how the Bible frames patience, drawing on passages that reveal God’s character, the role of the Spirit, and the way waiting becomes an act of trust rather than frustration. Finally, we offer practical steps for growing patience in real situations, helping us respond with clarity rather than reaction. This episode invites us to slow down, notice what is happening within us, and choose a posture that brings strength, steadiness, and hope to the moments that test us most.

264. Love that heals, Charity (Virtue 6)

264. Love that heals, Charity (Virtue 6) In this week’s episode, we explore the heavenly virtue of Charity-love in action, the virtue that heals both giver and receiver. We’ll look at what true charity really means, why it’s more than generosity, and how it becomes the antidote to greed and self-interest. Through story and reflection, we’ll unpack Augustine’s warning that “charity is no substitute for justice withheld,” and consider how love that is real must also be fair. Join us as we ask: how can we live out a charity that not only comforts but also transforms?

We look at why we sometimes hold back or twist the truth; whether to be liked, to stay in control, or to protect ourselves and how Scripture calls us to something deeper.

256. Pride or Purpose: examining the issue of Christian Nationalism. In this week's episode, we explore “Pride or Purpose?”. Looking at the problem of Christian nationalism and tracing its roots, we ask whether discipleship calls us to defend nations or to expand the Kingdom of God. We contrast the unrest we have seen in recent weeks with what we see in the Kingdom of God. Finally, we offer practical steps for Kingdom-first discipleship, praying for enemies, practising hospitality, and speaking gospel truth over politics - closing with the call to “Seek first the Kingdom of God.” Support the podcast with a coffee.... https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crisrogers     To get a copy of The Bible Book By Book head here... https://www.eden.co.uk/christian-books/bible-study/bible-study-reference-books/bible-background/the-bible-book-by-book/ Rev Dr Cris Rogers is a church leader at allhallowsbow.org.uk and Director of Making Disciples.

255. How to live our lives with Uprightness? What does that even mean? The Christian virtues can often sound like something from the Victorian era, but are actually the most modern things you can practice. It’s living straight in a crooked world.

254. Is This True, “The World Just Needs To Know God’s Love”?

254. Is This True, “The World Just Needs To Know God’s Love”? This week's episode challenges the popular Christian narrative that "the world just needs to know they are loved," arguing instead that Jesus' primary message wasn't love but the Kingdom of God, with 120 references to the kingdom with only 20 to love across the gospels. The episode explores how prioritising God's love over His kingdom can lead to treating Jesus as a spiritual guide rather than King. Ultimately, arguing that transformation comes through surrender to His rule rather than sentiment about His affection.
