#112 Anything But Sanctification

Cooper and Cary have words with Ben Clube about artificial intelligence, the gulf between humans and machines, and how technology changes us.

#109 Mr & Mrs Edwards

James and Barry talk about the Ascension, and then delve into the mailbag. Among other things, they wrestle manfully with the worms uncanned by Barry&apos;s views on singleness, whether musical comedy is funny enough, whether Christians should create entertainment, Arminians vs Open Theists, and whether God ever changes his mind about things. How important is the style of music a church sings? (9Marks). This episode was recorded in front of a live YouTube audience.

#108 The Ascension: What's Up With That?

James and Barry have words about leaving a local church. What are good and bad reasons to leave, and what are good and bad reasons to stay? Along the way, there&apos;s discussion about weird people in your congregation, driving past good churches, and yet another disparaging reference to reggae.

#106 Heavens Below

Cooper and Cary have words with author and Psalm lover, Matt Searles who explains why the Psalms are so important and why instruments will actually affect your theology  - and James somehow explains why he doesn&apos;t like Reggae. Matt happened to be passing when Lion Hudson wanted a new book about the Bible (true story) so he explains how it came to be 56 chapters long.Find out more about Psalms for Weary Souls - Tumbling Skies Get hold of God&apos;s Story by Matt Searles via Amazon UK Production and music by Cooper & Cary.

#105 The Bible in 56 Chapters

Controversial subject alert. Cooper and Cary have words about homeschooling. Why school your children at home if your tax dollars/pounds are already paying for a government-run education?

Carl is the author of the highly acclaimed The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution.

#102 This Is How It Starts

James and Barry have words about Bitcoin. What is it, why is it, and - most importantly - should you? They also discuss Ponzi schemes, the most expensive pizza ever, and the colour of bdellium.
