We begin to try and think about how we can learn from the Mars Hill experience and what healthy church leadership cultures could look like.  Our Dayschool is open for registration and is back in person.

The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill- Some Reflections

What makes us human? How do we understand what it means to be made in God's image and how does that affect how we answers questions of ethics, disability, sexuality, relationships and much more...

Welcome to Chat Theology! We have relaunched the podcast and have lots of exciting content and guests coming up, on this episode we look at the question of why study theology? So often it is seen as irrelevant, academic and boring but it doesn't have to be! (reuploaded due to audio error)

Irrelevant, Academic and Boring: Why Study Theology?

We sat down with James Barnett to chat about how his rule of life helps him grow as a disciple of Jesus. We discuss how to sustain your faith when you don't "feel it" and how important it is to be proactive and intentional.  James Barnett is a vicar at St Matts Leeds and is a member of the Order of St Cuthbert, a non residential religious order based on the Rule of St Benedict.

In this episode Theo sits down (virtually) with the Rev Alex Shiells to discuss how his faith and theology interact with his passion for football. Alex has been following the controversy surrounding the takeover of Newcastle United and so we chat about how as Christians we could respond to ethical questions around the sports teams we support.   Alex is Assistant Vicar (curate) at Chris Church Worksop & St Lukes Shireoaks. He is also club Chaplain at Worksop town FC and can be found on twitter at @revalexshiells

In this second part Dave and Theo went through another set of great questions that had been sent in by students. In this episode we covered.  Does God know the future? Does prayer change anything? How do you deal with the questions that arise in study?  Should christian technologists be involved in bio-printing organs?  

Episode 12: Q&A Special Part 2

Dave and Theo sat down with some questions from Students. In this episode we covered:  Why is Jesus called ‘everlasting Father’ in Isaiah 9:6?  Where does authority lie? With Jesus(all authority on heaven and earth has been given to me), Satan (the prince of this world), us? When Jesus did miracles, did he do them as the Son of God, or in the power of the Holy Spirit?  

Episode 11: Q&A Special Part 1

We're back after a break for Christmas with a gem of a conversation with Hannah Pearson about her life in Holbeck in Leeds,  mission and discipleship in an urban setting and how inner transformation is crucial to the Christian life.  Hannah helps lead a community of Christians in Holbeck in South Leeds as part of Mosaic Church. She also heads up the Mosaic Church Discipleship Track. A year long course helping people grow in the walk with God through inner transformation. 

Episode 10: Hannah Pearson- Urban Mission and Spiritual Transformation

In this episode we're joined by Lighthouse West Yorkshire Pastor Katie Ojuwku for a conversation about her ministry with those on the margins. We get to know Katie and chat about why justice is so important to us, what is unique about the Church compared to other "service providers" and why she would like Julie Andrews to play her in a film of her life. 

Episode 9: Katie Ojuwku- Ministry on the Margins

A podcast for students, graduates and friends to hear from some of our teachers and discuss theology.
