They explore various proverbs related to lying and false witness, considering the complex moral implications of dishonesty – in personal relationships and in society. They tackle the challenging question of whether lying is always wrong. The conversation touches on the cost of integrity, the realities of living in a fallen world and biblical accounts where people lie, yet God still uses those situations to further his purposes.

How does Proverbs challenge our view of money and what we should do with it? In this episode, along with special guest Liam Thatcher, we delve into the theme of wealth as presented in the Book of Proverbs.

Then we discuss how money and abundance are presented in Proverbs and the principles it provides about how to honour God with our wealth. We explore the challenges Proverbs issues to both the wealthy and those experiencing poverty.

Why is wisdom personified as a woman in Proverbs? This episode opens with a discussion about different ways wisdom is portrayed in Proverbs. We look at wisdom’s personification as a woman, considering the power of this literary device in its original context, whether it is partly a marriage metaphor and how it connects back to Genesis 1 and a design pattern established in creation. We explore three passages from Proverbs chapters 1, 3 and 8 to unpack their meaning. What is our responsibility to accept Wisdom’s call and what happens when we reject it? How do we desire wisdom above material wealth and how does this link to Jesus’ call in the Gospels to value the Kingdom of God above all else? What was the role of wisdom in creation and what does this mean for us? Timestamps (00:00) - Intro (01:55) - How is wisdom personified? (05:30) - Why is wisdom a woman in Proverbs?

What does it mean to have wisdom? Why should we pursue it and how can we put it into practice? In this episode, we explore how wisdom is presented in the Bible. With particular reference to Proverbs, we discuss the contrast between biblical wisdom and current ideas about self-help. We look at the relationship between age, experience and wisdom, and how wisdom is passed on. We discuss the need to see wisdom modelled in community and explore how Jesus both taught and embodied wisdom. We ask whether the proverbs should be read as general guiding principles or direct promises from God. The conversation closes with thoughts about the superior value of wisdom and character over head knowledge, as well as the uniquely hopeful message Christians have for people asking how to live well today.

From believing in God’s existence to taking him at his word, we explore how this shapes our relationship with him as well as our actions.

How does Jesus' once for all sacrifice supersede the Old Testament sacrificial system? In this episode we dive into the theme of sacrifice as presented in the book of Hebrews. We explore the significance of the Old Testament sacrificial system as part of God's people keeping their covenant with him. Then we look at how Jesus' sacrifice permanently fulfilled the purpose of the sacrificial system and brought about a new covenant relationship with God. We compare the transactional nature of the old sacrificial system with the relational nature of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. We discuss how what we do as a result of Christ's sacrifice shows our heart towards him. In this episode we're joined by Yinxuan Huang, Bible Society's Quantitative Research Manager.

What was the role of a high priest in the Old Testament? How did Jesus fulfil the role of high priest for eternity? Who was Melchizedek? In this episode we focus on priesthood in the Bible and the role of Jesus as the great high priest. We begin by exploring the historical context of priests and the Levitical priesthood in Judaism. Then we consider the picture of Jesus as the superior and eternal high priest in the book of Hebrews and the implications for us today. We discuss Melchizedek – his significance in the Bible, his dual role as both king and priest, and how he foreshadows Jesus. We finish by talking about how to balance our understanding of the familiarity and close relationship we can now have with God because of what Jesus has done, and the true reverence we should feel in his presence.

Are we in danger of drifting away from the faith? Can you lose your salvation? In this episode, we discuss the warnings peppered throughout the Letter to the Hebrews: don’t drift away from the faith; don’t harden your hearts; it’s necessary to grow in spiritual maturity and discernment; don’t grow weary! We consider the author’s intentions as we talk about the importance of community in being active in our faith and keeping each other on track. We reflect on the need to approach church with soft and open hearts. Moving on to chapter 6, we look at the transition we’re being encouraged to make from basic teachings to deeper understanding, and grapple with the question of whether we can lose our salvation. Finally, dipping into chapter 12, we explore the contrast between the Mosaic covenant made at Mount Sinai, where the people couldn’t approach God but had to stand at a safe distance, and the new covenant in Jesus which enables believers to approach God and worship joyfully in his presence.

Who wrote the Letter to the Hebrews? What did they want their readers to understand about Jesus? Welcome to series five of The Rooted Podcast in which we'll be looking at the Letter to the Hebrews. In this episode, we give a quick overview by considering what we can know about the author, audience and context of the letter, before diving into chapter one. We discuss the supremacy of Christ as God’s Son, appointed as heir of all things; the cosmic nature of his role in creation; what it means for Jesus to be the exact representation of God; and his superiority over angelic beings.

Thank you to those of you who asked us your toughest Bible questions at last summer’s New Wine festival! In this episode we explore them together. From the credibility of the creation story, to whether there will be a sea in heaven; from Bezalel and Oholiab’s abilities, to whether Jesus can lie or die; from who wrote the Bible and when, to how we know when to take it literally and whether it’s possible to reconcile the God of the Old Testament with the God of the New Testament, we tackle your questions. Join us on the journey as we dive into the Scriptures, explore the issues together and share our thoughts. Please note that we don’t claim to have all the definitive answers or that we’ll get everything right. We won’t always come to complete agreement. We aim to take a humble approach because we believe that being able to ask questions and discuss them together is a healthy aspect of Christian community that can help us to grow in wisdom and understanding, faith and confidence.
