Deeper: S3, E9 - Worship
The second commandment in the Big Ten is not to make idols and worship them. There are definitely things we do today which are unhelpful in worshipping the one true God - things that pigeon-hole him, or narrow our focus, or things that st...
Deeper: S3, E8 - Carry
There is a commandment that asks us not to 'carry' the Lord's name in vain. I was always brought up to read that as "don't swear using God's name", but what does it really mean? And why is it so important to God that he also follows...
Deeper: S3, E7 - Rested
Taking a day off can be tough - but what if there's much more to the Sabbath than simply a day off? What if a whole people-group committing to honour God weekly together in prayer, thought, action and presence could be something revolutio...
Deeper: S3, E6 - Honouring
There's a command in the 10 Commandments where we are told to honour our parents. Here we look at what 'honour' means, and what an abundant society we could have if we truly honoured (in words, actions, time and resources) those in the st...
Deeper: S3, E5 - Loving
Around half-way through this season (moving backward thru the 10 commandments), we've got to MURDER! You're hopefully not considering becoming a murderer, but what could a life even free from hate or grudges feel and look like? What...
Deeper: S3, E4 - Human
In this episode of Deeper Season 3 (Abundant) we look at the commandment "Do not commit adultery". The episode focuses almost exclusively on a biblical understanding of what it means to be a human being, and then looks at how we so often ...
Deeper: S3, E3 - Safe
The commandment "do not steal" isn't quite as simple as choosing not to grab our 'swag bag' and swipe stuff from peoples houses. Though please don't. The ways we steal from others are much more varied and subtle than we think, and s...
Deeper: S3, E2 - Truthful
Exploring what it might mean to live a life of true abundance, we're working our way backwards through the 10 commandments, asking if there's a secret in here for all of humanity, especially for Christians across the world. This is episod...
Deeper: S3, E1 - Contented
We're going to give ourselves some time to work backwards thru the 10 commandments and see if that can help us unearth what Jesus is hoping for in the 'life in all its abundance' that he said he'd come to bring humanity. This is episode o...
Deeper: S2, E7 - TWENTYTWO
At the crucifixion of Jesus, he utters 7 phrases while on the cross. Here we explore how two of them could be linked together through a Psalm written a thousand years before Jesus was even born. Could this spiritual song and poem wr...
Deeper: S2, E6 - Kingdom
Jesus once asked us not to focus on the things that everyone else focuses on, like money and belongings and what we will eat and drink. That's a lovely idea, but anyone who's a parent will also know that not worrying about those things al...
Deeper: S2, E5 - Tuesday
Tuesday is an odd name for this episode, I do know that, but there's something great about Tuesdays according to the story of creation and according to ancient Jewish wedding traditions ... and according to Jesus. He loves a good third da...
Deeper: S2, E4 - Unity
This time we look at a 3,000 year old spiritual song and poem, written for people on pilgrimage to sing or recite together as they meet and head up to their place of worship. It's written around two key images of what it feels like and ho...
Deeper: S2, E3 - Remain
One of the Gospel Writers (John) inserts one specific word when he's writing about the baptism of Jesus. It's the word 'Remain'. In ancient common Greek, that word means more than just staying with someone or something. It's a...
Deeper: S2, E2 - Priest
I've read and spoken about the moment when Jesus comes to John the Baptist and gets baptised, but there's a line in Matthew's Gospel that I've never really got to grips with. In this podcast we explore that one line, "we have to do this t...
Deeper: S2, E1 - Word
In the first episode of season 2, we look at a single word, and bizarrely it's 'word'. What does the Gospel Writer John want his original readers to understand by the way he introduces Jesus, and what might that mean for how we see Jesus ...
Deeper: S1, E4 - God right with us
Our final ADVENT 2025 podcast explores the title 'Emmanuel' given to Jesus 700+ years before his birth. The more we find out about this prophecy in its original form, the more it speaks to what we see it meaning about Jesus, and also ... ...
Deeper: S1, E3 - The Vision, The Baptiser and The One
Isaiah is an Old Testament Prophet who could see in his spirit who Jesus was going to be, more than 700 years before he arrived on the scene. But even though he could see clearly, there was no way for him to know him personally - not yet....
Deeper: S1, E2 - Life, power and healing
Here we read through a prophecy Christians believe is about Jesus from 700 years before he is born, by one of the greatest Old Testament prophets - Isaiah. What does it tell us about who Jesus was going to be, and therefore about who foll...
Deeper: S1, E1 - The Lantern, the coins and the sheep.
Here we open up a short passage where Jesus teaches us to expect him to one day return. How can we be ready for that, and what does it actually mean? As Christians all over the globe use ADVENT (the period of time before Christmas) ...
