268. Satan, Myth or Reality? What the Bible Actually Says

This week's episode, Cris walks us through what the Bible actually says about the evil one, satan, the devil, cutting through speculation and myth to focus on Scripture itself. Tracing the biblical story, we explore who Satan is, how he operates through deception and accusation, the nature of the evil he promotes, and what the Bible says about his ultimate defeat. Along the way, the episode keeps Jesus at the centre, reminding us that Satan is not an equal opposite to God, nor the ruler of hell, but a defeated enemy whose power has been broken at the cross and whose final judgement is certain.

267. Should Christians Watch Stranger Things?

In this episode we explore the big question, should Christians watch Stranger Things, and why the answer is not as simple as yes or no. Instead, we look at how followers of Jesus can practise wise and thoughtful discernment with the stories we take in. The conversation moves beyond rules and into formation, asking what shapes our imagination, what draws us towards Christ, and what quietly pulls us away.

266. Why Am I so Impatient and How Do I Become More Patient (Virtue 7)

In this episode, we take a thoughtful look at patience, why we lose it, and how it can be rebuilt in everyday life. We also explore how the Bible frames patience, drawing on passages that reveal God’s character, the role of the Spirit, and the way waiting becomes an act of trust rather than frustration.

Finally, we offer practical steps for growing patience in real situations, helping us respond with clarity rather than reaction. This episode invites us to slow down, notice what is happening within us, and choose a posture that brings strength, steadiness, and hope to the moments that test us most.
