'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.

Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

Most Christians have a desire to know and understand the Bible better, but what if their study and research only provides you with half the information you need?

Our conversation on Foundations today is going to be on the issue of faith and works. If ever there was a controversial issue in Christianity, this is it! However, they're more connected than we realise and that's going to be our focus.

Faith & Works: Two Halves of the Same Whole - 2 February 2026

Today on Foundations we'll continue our conversation about sin and whether it's an action or a condition within the human heart, and maybe even the antidote.

Sin Vs Sin - Part 2 - 30 January 2026

In Foundations today, we'll take a look at sin. Is it an action, or is it a condition? 

Sin Vs Sin - Part 1 - 29 January 2026

The prophet Daniel was a devout man, he endured a lot in his life, and he achieved a lot in his life. He was respected, loved and hated in equal measure by different groups of people. One thing is for sure about him though???Daniel knew how to pray. That's the focus of our conversation today on Foundations. 

Praying Like Daniel - 28 January 2026

Christians and most Jews believe that God is good. However, there are some who claim God cannot be good because of some of the commands He's given in His Word. We began to tackle the challenge of God being good last time on Foundations, and we'll conclude the conversation of the program today.

Is God Good? - Part 2 - 27 January 2026

There's a common phrase often used by Christians that says ???God is Good???. Invariable, the response by other Christians is, ???All the time.??? Then the reverbing response is, ???All the time, God is good.??? However, there are some who say that considering all the terrible things going on in the world, God can't possibly be good. We'll have a conversation to tackle that accusation today on Foundations.

Is God Good? - Part 1 - 26 January 2026

After the last two programs on Foundations, we have a clearer understanding of the beliefs held by sick people had regarding the hope for healing at the Pools of Bethesda. In today’s program we’ll take a peek into the expectations the religious leaders had about ’miracles’ at the Pools of Bethesda.

In today&rsquo;s program we&rsquo;ll take a peek into the expectations the religious leaders had about &rsquo;miracles&rsquo; at the Pools of Bethesda.

Pool of Bethesda - Part 3 - 23 January 2026

In the last episode we looked at some Scriptural inconsistencies regarding the miracle at the Pool of Bethesda, and about the pagan temple to a Greek god of healing on that same site. In today's program, we'll see how they impacted the lame man waiting by the pools. 

Pool of Bethesda - Part 2 - 22 January 2026

The story of the man miraculously healed at the Pool of Bethesda is a famous one, but there's been a great deal of misunderstanding about what actually happened there. We'll make a start by looking at some discrepancies in Scripture that many aren't aware of. 

Pool of Bethesda - Part 1 - 21 January 2026

We're concluding our short series on the relationship between God and man, we've learned how the Bible describes God's relationship with Israel as a marriage, and we've learned about the ancient Jewish wedding where we could see clearly Jesus and His future Bride, and we're about to finish our time in the book of Ruth, which gives us a picture of Israel with a broken marriage relationship being restored, with the acceptance of a Gentile bride and a Jewish redeemer.
