🎙️ A new episode of the Ridley College Podcast is live and this one goes deep!

Revd Dr Mike Bird sits down with Dr Stephen Carlson from the Australian Catholic University for what Mike himself calls "epic Bible nerd stuff." And honestly? It really is.
They're looking at a single verse, Galatians 2:20, and asking: what did Paul actually write?

Whether you're a Greek scholar or just someone who loves the Bible and wants to understand it better, this one's for you. 🎧

Are you telling me, that although my NIV, my ESV, my NRSV and a lot of other Vs in there, have been telling me I live by faith in the Son of God, that the earliest manuscripts on this say something a bit different. A bit different. Yes.

🎙️ A new episode of the Ridley College Podcast is live — and this one's for every preacher who's ever wondered if their sermon is landing with the sceptic in the room.

Tim Johnson sits down with John Dickson, historian, author, and public Christian, to talk about evangelistic preaching in a post-Christian world.

Not the big crusade kind. The local church, Sunday morning, Uncle Bob is sitting in the third row kind.

John makes the case that any preacher can learn to preach in a way that has something for the doubter. And that two minutes out of twenty can make the whole sermon meaningful to someone who doesn't yet believe.

A must-listen before the Ridley Preachers Conference, 27–28 August, in person and online. https://www.ridley.edu.au/APC
