Have you ever experienced a miracle? Have you ever heard of a miracle? Is there any evidence to support the idea that miracles happen? Is it just coincidence or wish fulfilment on the part of gullible believers?
If there is a God, why does he need to do miracles?
Join Tom, Matt & Karen as they explore this question, tell some amazing stories and 'enjoy' another round of weird drinks in the pub.

Why Do Christians Sing to the Wall? Wherever you go, Christians seem to be singing. They sing on their own, they sing in groups, they sing at the wall. Why? What's with all the singing? Are they just deluded, singing to a God who isn't there? Is it just trying to convince themselves that it really is true? Does the devil have the best tunes?
Tom, Matt & Karen are back in the Plough Inn, with some genuinely awful drinks - to explore this subject. WARNING: Contains Singing ..read more

In light of events in the Middle East, Tom, Matt & Karen wrestle with a current and curious question. We know why Israel is in the news, but why do Christians talk about it so much? Why do some Christians support the state of Israel enthusiastically? Why is Christianity so full of Jewish things?
Join our team in the pub, with some weird drinks, to explore this controversial subject ..read more

In front of a lively but friendly crowd at the Star Inn our team of Karen, Tom & Matt wrestle with the question of the meaning of science and faith. Because of the growth of science, does this mean faith is pushed out? Is it reasonable to have faith in God and have a scientific worldview?
Plus questions from the audience - this was a fun evening and a very interesting listen.

Tom, Karen & Matt are back in the pub (well, sort of) with some weird drinks - to ask what may seem to be an obvious question. Isn't it obvious that Christianity is a religion, along with the other big religions in the world? So why ask the question?
So, what is a religion in the first place? Are there things about Christianity that make it different to other religions, faiths or philosophies? Would every religion say that theirs is unique and special?
Take a listen as they wrestle with this question, and as is often the case on this podcast, come to a rather nuanced answer ..read more

Are humans alone in the universe? Is there life on other planets? Did God create humans as unique? Do we share the universe? Has there been contact between aliens and humans? Are ETs found in the bible?
All this and more is explored by Matt, Tom & Karen in the 'pub' with some weird drinks. Looking at science, popular culture, personal experiences and the Bible - this will be an interesting listen for a believer and a sceptic ..read more

Religion is full of rules, right? Do this, don't do that. Being 'spiritual' has become increasingly popular in the Western world - and being religious has greatly decreased. Can you be spiritual without being religious? Isn't it better to focus on the things of the spiritual world and less on rules, dogma and religious organisations like the church?
Tom, Karen & Matt are back in the pub to explore this. With special attention paid to what has been know as the New Age Movement. What is it? Where does it come from? And is it better than organised religion?

Possessions, money, houses, cars, hobbies, clothes - what should we do with it all? Is it good to collect for ourselves and our families? Or should I sell everything except the essentials for the sake of the poor and the planet? Surely Jesus wasn't interested in money and stuff? He didn't own a house or a horse - so shouldn't we follow in his footsteps?
Inspired by a listener's question about his collection of Marvel action figures - Tom, Matt & Karen are back in the Plough Inn wrestling with their stuff. Joined of course by this month's collection of weird drinks ..read more

Is the culture we live in good for us? Is it evil and corrupt? Is it creative and life-giving? Music, films, books, TV, games, ideas, conversations, art, sport.... all of this makes up our culture. How should we approach it? Does God have any interest in culture? Is culture now better than culture in the past - or is the opposite true?
Tom Wharin, Matt Frost & Karen Simson are back in the Plough Inn, with some very weird drinks, wrestling with this question from one of our listeners.

Do spirits exist? Is it possible to be influenced or controlled by them? Are films like The Exorcist or Ghostbusters based on truth? Is it all just out-of-date fantastical thinking and rational modern people shouldn't even be thinking about these things? What about the stories from Jesus' life that describe him delivering people from evil spirits?
Tom, Matt & Karen are back in The Plough Inn (with some much-improved recording equipment) to wrestle with this tricky subject. Accompanied, as usual, by some very weird drinks ..read more
