Send us a text In this episode, we continue one of the most tender and powerful moments in Israel’s history — the story of Hannah, her prayer, her obedience, and her son Samuel, who would become a prophet and kingmaker. From Hannah’s barrenness to her blessing, from her vow to her victory, we see the truth that anchors the entire book of 1 Samuel: “Those who honour Me, I will honour.” We’ll reflect on what it means to raise godly children in a godless age, how the influence of a praying par...
Send us a text In this episode, we explore how Hannah’s praise moves from personal gratitude to profound theology. From the pain of waiting to the joy of revelation, she discovers that God is sovereign — over life and death, over blessing and loss, over every turn of the human story. Her song anticipates the coming King, pointing forward to the Messiah Himself. Takeaway: True praise doesn’t just thank God for what He’s done — it trusts Him for what He’s doing and worships Him fo...
Send us a text In this episode, we consider the story of Hannah—a woman whose sorrow turned into song. Through her perseverance, prayer, and surrender, we learn how God uses human weakness to display His power. This is a story about the faith that prays through tears, the peace that comes through surrender, and the God who remembers His people. Key Takeaways: God answers prayer in His time and His way. True worship flows from gratitude, not just need. The Lord of Hosts is unlimited in His p...
Send us a text In this episode, we explore the structure and purpose of 1 Samuel — tracing Israel’s transformation from a loose confederation under the judges to a united monarchy under David. Through the lives of Samuel, Saul, and David, we see how God establishes His kingdom and reveals what true leadership looks like: not self-rule, but submission to divine authority.

Send us a text This episode was originally released as a Patreon-only bonus episode on the 5th of March 2025. Episode Summary: In this special bonus episode, I explore the political thought of Hannah Arendt—particularly her seminal work The Origins of Totalitarianism—from a biblical and theological perspective. Arendt’s analysis of 20th-century totalitarianism is as relevant today as ever, but what happens when we place her ideas alongside the timeless truths of Scripture? We begin with a ...

Summary: Throughout history, political thinkers have sought to understand the nature of power, war, and human ambition. The question I ask, having been exposed to the writings of three important works of political philosophy, is, but do their insights align with biblical wisdom? In this special bo...

Send us a text Please bear in mind this is recording of my practice of a talk I gave in February 2025 to a group of secular artists as a means of connecting with non-believers who operate in the creative arts in the areas of Music, Poetry, and Art. It is an attempt to help them see their creative process as a potential opportunity to approach God. "Art, Music, Poetry: Is It a Pathway to Christian Spirituality?" This presentation explores the concept of mysticism, challenging the misconc...

Send us a text In this final message from Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, we reflect on his closing benediction — a prayer that the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit would rest upon His people. Paul reminds us that what makes a church truly blessed is not its size or structure but its spirit — a community that loves deeply, lives peacefully, and extends grace freely. Join me as we explore what it means to live in harmony with one ano...
Send us a text Paul’s critics said he was weak—but in Christ, weakness becomes the doorway to true strength. In this final section of 2 Corinthians, Paul challenges believers to examine themselves, to live with integrity, and to pursue restoration within the body of Christ. His message is not one of condemnation, but of edification—a call to be made whole, to stop doing evil, and to live for the truth. Key Themes: The meaning of being “disqualified” in ministryWhy self-examination is vital ...
Send us a text In this episode, we explore one of Paul’s most personal defenses of his ministry—and one of the clearest portraits of Christlike service in all of Scripture. Paul reminds the Corinthians that real ministry is not built on money, recognition, or reputation, but on sacrificial love. He was willing to work without pay, to serve without applause, and to give himself fully for the sake of others. This passage challenges us to examine our motives for service: Why do we do what we d...
Send us a text In this episode, Paul’s words come alive: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Through this powerful passage, we explore what it really means to boast in our weaknesses — not because we enjoy pain, but because our limitations become the very place where God’s power is displayed. Today we reflect on Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” share stories from real life and ministry, and help us see that our struggles are not obstacles but opportuni...
Send us a text Episode Notes: In this episode, we explore one of Paul’s most revealing confessions — that joy can exist even in hardship, and that weakness can become a vessel for divine strength. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 7:4–16 and Paul’s later words in chapter 12, we uncover the paradox of Christian service: that real joy comes not from being celebrated, but from surrendering. Through Paul’s story, we see that true ministry isn’t measured by convenience, but by compassion — and that the...
Send us a text Episode Notes Page In this episode, we explore Paul’s heartfelt defense against false accusations and deceitful teachers who sought to undermine his ministry. Through his words, we see a deep pastoral concern — a “godly jealousy” for the spiritual purity of the Church. Paul reminds the Corinthians that behind every false apostle stands an even greater deceiver, Satan himself, who masquerades as an angel of light. This passage challenges us to be discerning in whom we follow, ...
