We discuss the rich role that women have in Scripture and how it is most likely to be the reason why the west celebrates women in a way that other, non-Biblically informed cultures tend not to.

The Book of SportsS2 E4: BIRGing"Basking In Reflected Glory (BIRGing) is a self-serving cognition whereby an individual associates themselves with known successful others such that the winner's success becomes the individual's own accomplishment. The affiliation of another's success is enough to stimulate self glory."
Thanks Wikipedia. Listen to Nathan BIRG his way through a Raiders come-from-behind win and Tim plot a come from behind victory of his own in the world of fictional footballing fantasy. Are we hard-wired to gain meaning through the success of another or is it a meaningless element of human existence?

From the Prophetic to the Pathetic, he and Nathan discuss a selection of examples before drilling down on the angel of Australian coaching at the present time, Angellous (angel) Postecoglou, who has taken Celtic to the top of the league. Meanwhile in Western Australia, Just-in Langer has returned home in the middle of much discussion over whether he has been dealt with justly or not.

Why does the identity that Christians find in Jesus shape their lives so extensively?
2021-08-1029 minThe Book of SportsEp 14: Weaker"The Olympic Games are more excrement than excellence" Tim affirms, Nathan rebuts. It is the great Book of Sports debate.

2021-07-2027 minThe Book of SportsEp 11: ClincherA successful week for Australian sport (and a disastrous week for England) has Tim and Nathan pretty chuffed with their national identity. Tennis, Golf, Basketball and Football are all discussed (just don't mention the cricket). Why does Nathan tip the Boomers to win Olympic gold? Why do we go resort to novelty games like a penalty shootout to decide a major international football tournament? Why do we insist there has to be a winner?
2021-07-1327 minThe Book of SportsEp 10: VeteranTim and Nathan fail to understand how people can play 400 games of AFL when their own bodies are falling apart. The obscure stats of the week surround some of the great sporting performances by old people and prompt us to wonder why aspire to and admire the superhuman performances from human athletes.
2021-07-0627 minThe Book of SportsEp 9: DesperateIt is mid-season review time for our favourite football codes, so Nathan and Tim check-in to see how well their teams aren’t doing. The return of lockdown life for Nathan’s birthday prompts a discussion on why we’re so desperate for sport to be happening.
2021-06-2935 minThe Book of SportsEp 8: CompassionThe shocking incident involving Christian Eriksen prompts a discussion about compassion on the sporting field. At our best, we show it to our opponents (though not always), but where does it come from?
Along the way, Nathan revisits some scars from the first time our paths crossed on a sporting field. We discuss the agony of the after-the-siren finish and as always share some obscure stats.
2021-06-1633 minThe Book of SportsEp 7: LoyaltyNothing got under Nathan's skin like a New South Welshman who played for Queensland *cough* Greg Inglis *cough*.
Just how positive a character trait is loyalty? Is it always a good thing? Hear our thoughts as well as origin tips, backhanded compliments and general dribble about a sport which I know very little about.
2021-06-0829 minThe Book of SportsEp 6: ProdigiesBack from a two-week, Paternity-leave break and Nathan is now a dad! We hear his hopes for little Grace, and what lifetime of sporting accomplishments lie ahead of her. Hear how she has already conquered boxing, how wise parenting knows music is subservient to sport and how parents can nurture a healthy relationship with sport for their kids.
2021-05-3130 minThe Book of SportsComebackTim gets nostalgic about a game he attended as a 14-year-old after the Sydney Swans beat Geelong in a comeback victory. Nathan doesn't have a comeback story to celebrate so clings to a prophetic hope that one of his teams will enjoy one this season.
Why is it that come from behind victories elicit such joy in us as athletes and fans?
