How often do those of us in a Pentecostal or Charismatic tradition practice the Eucharist as a mere symbolic ritual? What if we could see it as a communal moment of deep formation by the presence of the Spirit?

Such an enriching and thought-provoking conversation with Florian Simatupang around practicing and embodying the Lord's Supper beyond symbolic ritual. Made all the more rich by the fact I was on Holy Island while recording it! #theology #theosky #christians #bible

Hours of practice in the rhythms and patterns of Scripture enables true and faithful improvisation for our context. Mark Glanville on preaching creatively:

This was one of the most fun and insightful interviews we've done on the @wtctheology.org.uk TheoDisc podcast! #christian #church #theology @ivpacademic.bsky.social

We’re still reflecting on Prisons Week and on the God who holds both the offender and the victim in his mercy and grace. with a love that restores, redeems, and heals. 🎧 Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. youtu.be/JGOvgwZbqQ8

Amazing to talk about how God is transforming lives in prison with Steven and @sarahcoppin.substack.com

The Messiah we expect–a conquering, ruling Messiah or a suffering Messiah–shapes our view of the way we follow after Jesus in our world. Craig Keener talks to TheoDisc about suffering well. Watch (youtu.be/XF5SfF9gyfk) or listen (theodisc.podbean.com/e/craig-keen...) #theosky

“Western Christianity is consumeristic and suffering doesn’t market it very well.” Dr. Craig Keener joins TheoDisc to talk about a theme often neglected in Western discipleship: suffering. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or search 'TheoDisc' on your podcast platform. youtu.be/XF5SfF9gyfk

It's very exciting to see what God is doing through WTC Theology to minister to those in prison. I really enjoyed hearing Sarah's heart as she leads our programme delivering theology to prisoners. #theosky #prisonministry #theology

The cross of Christ is the hope for the brokenness in our world...

In this episode of TheoDisc, Lucy Peppiatt speaks of the need for Christians to pursue a deep and rich theological understanding that feeds our spiritual formation, including our approach to suffering.

"Returning to the art of learning is not just about discipleship – this is mission. We should be the most learned people on the planet." AJ Swoboda explores the power of a church open to learning. Watch: youtu.be/99oWw7FNhRo Listen: bit.ly/4kO9R8P #theosky #bible #christianity #learning

Learning is part of our humble faithfulness to Jesus. Great conversation with A.J. Swoboda. @zondervanacademic.bsky.social

The instant availability of information enables us 'to sound like we know what we're talking about without ever having to submit to anybody.' Great conversation with A.J. Swoboda about the importance of cultivating a teachable spirit.

I've regularly asked rooms full of Christians, 'where was Bathsheba when David saw her?' More often than not, the reply is 'on the roof'. Amanda Bedzrah helps us see the ways narratives get upended to protect our heroic figures.

In this episode of TheoDisc, @bethallisonbarr.bsky.social touched on a myriad of issues concerning women in ministry and leadership. Here, she deals with the stigma attached to unmarried leaders, particularly women called to pastor and lead. Listen: bit.ly/3F8q4GK or watch: bit.ly/4j6CEV5 #theosky

It was wonderful to have the opportunity to speak with @bethallisonbarr.bsky.social for the @theodisc.bsky.social podcast. This was a great discussion about marriage, ministry, and mutual support of individual callings. Check out her book, 'Becoming the Pastor's Wife'. #theosky #bible #theology

Understanding the form of the text we are reading helps us comprehend the writer's intentions. Some thoughts from John Walton, with more at the links provided.

It was a real privilege to speak with Prof. Walton and hear how his thinning has developed in his latest book, 'New Explorations in the Lost World of Genesis'.

How am I spending my holiday? Discovering Richard of St Victor’s treatise on supreme charity love as the rational for a triune God, and working out how this doesn’t necessarily make him a poster boy for social trinitarianism.

It was such a joy to meet and speak with @gracehamman.bsky.social on Medieval conceptions of Jesus. Eye-opening and inspiring. #podcast #Jesus #theology

NEW Episode! In the latest TheoDisc episode, @kennyinnes.bsky.social and Kate Coleman dive deep into the true nature of leadership—one that prioritises the work of living from the inside out. Listen: theodisc.podbean.com/e/kate-colem... Watch: youtu.be/pw1zOXwH-hc #podcast #leadership #theology

In our latest episode with @scotmcknight.bsky.social, we spoke about Jesus' confrontation of the Pharisees and how he might critique the ways our own focus can be misplaced. Catch the full episode on audio theodisc.podbean.com or video youtube.com/@WTCTheology #podcast #theology #jesus

Was Jesus' confrontation of the Pharisees about their liberalising of the law rather than a hyper-legalism?

A helpful companion interview to last week's episode on the Politics of Love with Roger Mitchell.

The Christian witness to the politics of our world is a subversive politics of love.

A needed conversation in our present moment: Roger Mitchell on the politics of love. #theology #bible #Jesus #politics #kingdomofgod #politicaltheology
