This week on Ponder, Jack sits down with Ben and Tristan to unpack Sunday's sermon, Christ in Judges. They discuss the pitfalls and strengths of power, how culture shapes us, what it means to be in the world but not of the world, how to navigate having close non-Christian friends, and how the four levels of sin lead us to a transformational Saviour.

Violence in the name of God is on the table this week as Jack, Ben and Tristan unpack Sunday's sermon, Christ in Joshua. They unpack why we find the Book of Joshua so disturbing, what helps us read it well, and our need for justice.

This week on Ponder, host Jack and the rest of the boys are joined by special guest Steph for a conversation about Sunday's sermon, The Joy of Blessing. They discuss what it looks like to "rejoice always" (Philippians 4:4), how we can do celebration well, how to welcome new people into community, overcoming the "welcome fatigue" that comes with that, and the relevance of the spiritual gift of tongues today.
