In this special bonus episode, we're joined by friend of the show, Nancy Guthrie, to talk about Biblical Theology. We chat to Nancy about how she thinks we can describe the story of the Bible in four simple words. We hone in on the particular theme of 'consummation' - the idea that God is not bringing all things simply back to how it was in the garden, rather bringing all things to a completion that is 'even better than Eden'.

Nancy Guthrie is a speaker and author of several books, including "Even Better Than Eden: Nine ways the Bible's story changes everything about your story". Nancy is coming out to Australia in May and June 2024 to run a series of events in partnership with The Gospel Coalition Australia - for more information and to sign up to her workshops, visit https://www.qtc.edu.au/nancy-guthrie-2024/.

In Episode 19, we look at the 3rd petition of the Lord's Prayer - Your will be done. At first glance, this seems very similar to the last petition, so we discuss the difference between this and Your kingdom come. We dive deep into the concept of "God's will" - what is it exactly, and if God's sovereign will will be done anyway, why pray for it? We also talk about God's providence and accepting everything that comes from his hand. Finally, we chat about what it means for His will to be done on earth as in heaven.

In Episode 18, we examine the 2nd petition of the Lord's Prayer - "your Kingdom come".
We look at the motif of "Kingdom" through Scripture discussing what exactly God's Kingdom is. We tackle the theological question of whether or not God's Kingdom has come, is coming, or will come. We also discuss what it looks like for this prayer to be answered today and how it impacts on the mission and hope of the church.

We get lost down a rabbit hole of name theology, and then talk about how this line in the prayer shapes our prayer - not just in content, but in our approach to prayer itself.

]]> Welcome to Season 3 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In Episode 8, we discuss the 5th commandment to honour our father and mother. How does this relate to the ensuing promise of long life in the land? What's the relationship between honouring our parents and honouring other authorities like our governments, church leaders, work bosses, etc.? What does this command reveal about God? How do we live it out today?

(with Dr Murray Smith) S3 Bonus Episode 1: Did Jesus Say He'd Come Again? (with Dr Murray Smith) Welcome to Season 3 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In this special bonus episode, we're celebrating the completion of Murray's PhD! Murray has been hard at work answering the question of whether or not Jesus said he would come again. It seems like an obvious answer, but there is much scholarly debate about the issue. Murray takes us through the issues at stake as we pay careful attention to key passages like Daniel 7 and Mark 13. Do these passages refer to Jesus' ascension or his return? He then walks us through why his thesis matters for us today, and what he has learnt as he completed this major achievement. Well done Murray!

]]> Welcome to season 2 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In episode 26 we jump into the book of Acts - a continuation of the story of Jesus' works from the book of Luke. We discuss the relationship between Luke and Acts, and the important role Acts plays as a 'hinge' between the gospels and the epistles. We break the book down and talk about its key themes including the work of the Spirit and the mission of the church. As usual, we finish with some pointers on how to read and teach this book fruitfully.

In Season 2, we'll be going over each book of the Bible, bringing out the big ideas, themes, and implications for the life and mission of the church.

In episode 25 we examine John's gospel. This fourth gospel is quite different to the other three synoptic gospels - perhaps purposely complementing the others? In this episode, we discuss the reason for John's gospel and its unique contribution to our understanding of Jesus. We talk about the "I AM" statements of Jesus, and other themes like Jesus' signs, eternal life, faith & love. We hope this episode encourages you to read and teach this book faithfully and fruitfully.

]]> Welcome to season 2 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In episode 15 we dive into the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations. Jeremiah is often called the "weeping prophet" and these books have a lot to say about God's judgement on his people because they have broken his covenant. We have a discussion about the covenant, and the hope of its renewal. We also look at the work of Lamentations and give thoughts on how to read and teach such sobering books fruitfully.

In Season 2, we'll be going over each book of the Bible, bringing out the big ideas, themes, and implications for the life and mission of the church.
