Title: Room at the Inn
Speaker: Pastor Warren Sharrock
Date: 9th April 2025
Location: New Plymouth, New Zealand

Summary: "You need a past to have an identity. You need a future to have a hope." That idea anchors this episode, which digs into two inns in the Bible and what they reveal about Jesus, the church, and what it genuinely means to follow him.

The first inn is the kataluma, the family hostel in Bethlehem described in Luke 2. The familiar picture of Jesus being turned away into the cold gets reexamined. The kataluma was a crowded family space, and the stable below offered shelter and privacy for the birth. Jesus was not rejected by his people. He was separated, set apart from the very beginning, born into the tribe of Judah but distinct in a way the rest of his story would go on to explain.

The second inn sits in the middle of the Good Samaritan parable in Luke 10. The episode traces the original question that prompted the story: what must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus answered through a tale about a dangerous road, a wounded man, and someone who stopped when no one else would. The Samaritan figures as a type of Christ, and the inn figures as the church. Being rescued and brought to safety is not the end of the story. It is the beginning. Fellowship, living water, one way in, and walls worth defending.

Key Points:
"No room at the inn" does not mean rejection. Jesus was born within the family of Judah, separated and lowly, but placed there deliberately, distinct from the very start.
The Good Samaritan is an answer to the question about eternal life, not just a lesson in good behaviour. The inn represents the church, and the Samaritan is a picture of Christ paying the price for strangers.
Fellowship is not optional. The church is the inn on the Jericho Road, a place with walls, one way in, and living water at the centre. Being brought to safety without being brought into fellowship is an incomplete rescue.

Reference Scriptures:
Luke 2:7
Luke 10:25-37

"You need a past to have an identity. You need a future to have a hope." This episode examines two inns in Scripture, the kataluma in Bethlehem and the inn on the Jericho Road, and finds surprising depth in what both reveal about the nativity, the Good Samaritan, and why the church is the place every rescued person needs to be brought to.

Title: Staying healthy in the Lord
Speaker: Dave Hawkswood
Date: 18th March 2026
Location: Bendigo, Australia

Summary: "Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." That single verse from 1 Timothy frames a very practical question: what does it actually take to stay spiritually healthy?

This episode draws a direct line between physical health and spiritual health. The same way a body loses muscle without consistent effort, faith can quietly weaken when left unattended. Through research into what happens when we stop building physical strength, the parallels to spiritual life become clear. We are either growing or shrinking, and without intentional effort, our default is decline.

Drawing from Ephesians 3, Isaiah 40, Hebrews 12, and Proverbs 4, this episode covers what it means to be strengthened through God's Spirit, how to lay aside the weights that slow us down, and how to build the habits and discernment that carry us through for the long run. The goal is not just surviving spiritually, but walking strongly in the ways of the Lord right up to the day he returns.

Key Points:
Spiritual strength does not maintain itself. Without intentional effort, prayer, and time in God's Word, faith quietly weakens over time, just as a body loses muscle when it goes untrained.
Waiting on the Lord (Isaiah 40:31) is active, not passive. It means keeping hope and expectation alive, and through that, God renews your strength.
Laying aside sin and unnecessary burdens (Hebrews 12:1) is not about perfection. It is about removing what holds you back so you can run your race with endurance.

Reference Scriptures:
1 Timothy 4:6-8
Ephesians 3:14-19
Isaiah 40:28-31
Hebrews 12:1-2
Hebrews 5:12-14
Proverbs 4:20-23

"Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." What does it actually take to stay spiritually healthy? This episode draws a clear line between physical and spiritual fitness, exploring what happens when faith is left unattended and what it looks like to build real, lasting strength in God.

Title: The Names of God
Speaker: Pastor Bryan Smith
Date: 22nd March 2026
Location: New Plymouth, New Zealand

Summary: "The Lord is my shepherd" is one of the most quoted lines in the Bible, but how often do we pause to ask what that name actually means? This episode takes a close look at several of the Hebrew names of God, unpacking what each one reveals about who God is and what He offers His people today.

Starting with Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our righteousness, the episode draws a direct line from Jeremiah's prophecy about the coming Messiah to Jesus as the fulfilment of that promise. The world is full of corruption and no amount of personal effort can clean that up. Jesus, the exact image of the Father, laid down His life to remove the contamination of sin and restore righteousness to those who trust in Him.

From there, the names keep unfolding. Jehovah Rohi, the Lord is my shepherd, points to a God who knows each person by name, who guides, protects, and provides even through the darkest valleys. Then Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, is traced from a bitter wilderness spring to the cross itself, where healing was secured. Taken together, these names build a picture of a God who is not one-dimensional but deeply personal, multi-faceted, and actively involved in every area of life.

Key Points:
Jehovah Tsidkenu means "the Lord our righteousness." Jesus fulfilled this name by dealing with the corruption of sin that no human effort could fix, making His righteousness available to everyone who receives Him.
Jehovah Rohi means "the Lord is my shepherd." Just as David drew comfort from knowing God watched over every detail of his life, the same promise stands for believers today, including through fear, uncertainty, and the challenges of a turbulent world.
Jehovah Rapha means "the Lord who heals." The tree cast into the bitter waters at Marah points forward to the cross, where Christ bore sin in His own body so that healing, wholeness, and restoration could flow to His people.

Reference Scriptures:
Jeremiah 23:5-6
Hebrews 1:1-9
Exodus 6:2-3, 7
Psalm 23:1-6
John 10:11-14
Acts 20:25-31
Exodus 15:22-26
1 Peter 2:21-25
James 5:14-16
Psalm 83

"The Lord is my shepherd" is one of the most quoted lines in the Bible, but what does that name actually mean for your life right now? This episode unpacks several Hebrew names of God including Jehovah Tsidkenu (the Lord our righteousness), Jehovah Rohi (the Lord my shepherd), and Jehovah Rapha (the Lord who heals), tracing each one from the Old Testament through to Jesus in the New. Far from being abstract theology, these names reveal a God who is deeply personal, actively present, and more than able to meet every need. A grounding and encouraging episode for anyone wanting to know God more.

Title: Contending for the faith
Speaker: Pastor Franco Princi
Date: 22nd March 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

Summary: "Let us contend for the faith" is the challenge sitting at the heart of this episode, drawn straight from the book of Jude. The book of Jude is one of the New Testament's shortest but sharpest letters, and this episode unpacks why Jude felt compelled to set aside his original topic and urgently call believers to defend what they had received. Written just decades after Jesus, Jude's letter was addressed to a church dealing with people distorting the gospel from within and that challenge, as this episode makes clear, is just as relevant now.

The episode moves through Ephesians 6 and the famous armour of God passage, connecting each piece of Roman military equipment to something real in the life of a believer today. From truth as the belt that holds everything together, to faith as the shield that blocks the attacks that come our way, these are not abstract ideas, they are practical anchors for everyday spiritual life. The bigger challenge named throughout is apathy: the quiet drift that happens when life gets comfortable and the urgency of the gospel gets replaced by a "she'll be right" attitude.

The episode closes with a sweep through core scriptures in Isaiah, John, Romans, and Corinthians, building the case for why believers need to know what they believe and why. The goal is not to win arguments, but to stay convicted, stay grounded, and keep pointing others toward the gospel while there is still time.

Key Points:
Apathy is one of the greatest spiritual dangers we face. When life gets comfortable, conviction can quietly fade, and believers need to actively guard against drifting away from scripture.
The armour of God in Ephesians 6 is not symbolic decoration. Each piece is a real spiritual tool: truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, and the Word of God all serve a function in daily Christian life.
Contending for the faith starts with personal conviction. You cannot defend what you do not know, and knowing scripture for yourself (not just relying on others) is what builds the strength to stand.

Reference Scriptures:
Jude 1:1-3, 17-25
Ephesians 6:10-17
Isaiah 1:16-18
Isaiah 28:9-12
John 3:5-8
John 4:14, 23-24
John 7:37-39
Acts 26
Romans 5:5
1 Corinthians 12:3, 13:1
1 Corinthians 14:19, 39

"Let us contend for the faith" is Jude's urgent call, and it lands just as sharply today. This episode unpacks the book of Jude alongside Ephesians 6, exploring what it means to put on the armour of God and actually use it. The episode tackles the quiet danger of apathy, the comfortable drift that can settle in when life is going fine, and challenges believers to know their Bible personally, not just rely on others. With a sweep through John, Isaiah, Romans, and Corinthians, this is a grounding episode for anyone who wants to hold firmly to the gospel and help others find it too.
