Ask AwayWhat does the Christian faith say about suicide?Some of us are hurting so much that living each day is a struggle. Others wake up every morning to the anguish of having lost a loved one to suicide. In either case, the question of what happens after death to those who have taken their lives is a deeply personal and painful question. This week on Ask Away, Jo and Vince discuss the hope of the Christian faith for those who are carrying these heavy burdens. They also encourage those of you who are feeling overwhelmed that you don’t have to go through this on your own—prof...

Ask AwayWhen is someone ready to receive an invitation to follow Christ?Do you have people in your life who have heard about your faith and have engaged with you on spiritual topics, yet you are longing for them to actually respond to the Gospel? But when is the right time to extend an invitation to them to follow Christ? Are they ready? What if they aren’t? Should the invitation be the culmination of a process of sharing the faith or the very starting point for it? And shouldn’t an invitation be experienced as an honor and a gift, even if someone feels they need to RSVP “no”?
Vince considers these and...

Whether we’re at war with one another or at war with ourselves, we are always conflicted over one thing or another. Under such conditions, the angelic announcement of “peace on earth” seems hopelessly naive. But what if peace were more than an empty promise or a futile proposition? This Christmas, the Ask Away podcast considers the implications of this question: What if peace came to us as an actual person?

Why is it that according to Old Testament law, only women (and not men) had to endure a trial for perceived unfaithfulness? In this week's episode of Ask Away, Jo Vitale responds to live Q&A questions based on some of the most difficult passages of the Old Testament.

Ask AwayHow can I make sense of life?Imagine jumping into a game without knowing when it started, when it will finish, what the rules are, or even the objective—without that information, your participation would be totally meaningless! And yet, how many of us are walking through life without answers to those same fundamental questions? In this episode of Ask Away, Vince suggests that every person needs answers to these questions, and only one person can provide them.
For many of us, it feels incredibly stressful to unexpectedly find ourselves in a religious or political conversation with anybody, friend or stranger, who holds radically dif...

Unbelievable?Can Christianity Save Democracy? Os Guinness v Jonathan Rauch hosted by Vince VitaleCan Christianity save democracy? Vince Vitale hosts a frank, generous exchange between social critic Os Guinness and author Jonathan Rauch about faith’s civic foundations, liberalism, and power. This is one we’ve been looking forward to! Rauch, a scientific materialist, argues that democracy needs Christianity’s deepest teachings; Guinness locates America’s virtues in the Hebrew–Christian tradition.
Don’t miss the most moving moment: around the hour mark, Guinness turns to Rauch and apologises without caveat for the ways Christians have treated gay people like him. Rauch receives it with grace, and the room changes. It’s a rare, exemplar...

Ask AwayHow did Jesus engage with a cultural enemy?For many of us, it feels incredibly stressful to unexpectedly find ourselves in a religious or political conversation with anybody, friend or stranger, who holds radically different views from our own. When that happens, how do you handle the situation? And what does the other person walk away thinking and feeling, after they have encountered you? This week on Ask Away, Jo Vitale considers how Jesus Christ handled being in a similar situation, and what his approach means for us today.

Is it eternal torment, final destruction, or something else entirely? In this episode of Premier Unbelievable?, Vince Vitale is joined by Australian apologist Dan Paterson (Questioning Christianity: Is There More to the Story?) and Catholic theologian Jordan Wood (The Whole Mystery of Christ). Together they explore whether the traditional doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment is biblically and theologically defensible, and why so many Christians today are reconsidering alternative views such as conditional immortality or annihilationism.

Ask AwayHow much time should I spend with God and at church each week?Perhaps the two greatest callings for a Christian are to live with God and to live with God’s people. Tragically, many who go by the name Christian are doing neither, having been deceived into settling for the counterfeits of believing intellectually in God and going to church. What if we need to completely reframe how we conceive of the Christian life? If you’ve been trying to live as a Christian for a long time but always find yourself thinking, “Is this really it?,” this episode is for you.

Ask AwayTruth or love: do we have to choose?It's a confusing time to be alive. We celebrate a diversity of people and experiences, but we fear a diversity of thought and beliefs. It's ok to live your truth, so long as you don't infringe on mine. Undergirding this cultural consensus is the assumption that making truth claims inevitably leads to disagreement, and disagreement is the start of a slippery slope into division and dehumanization. But is truth really an act of war and keeping silent an act of love? In this week's Ask Away, we're sharing a message Vince first gave in 2017 while asking a question that h...

In this episode of Ask Away, Jo Vitale discusses what Jesus really meant when he invited his first hearers to “come, follow me!”

We frequently joke about “the grind” of work and living for the weekend, but that doesn’t seem like much of a way to live. If the goal of work is retirement, then what does that say about the work in the first place? Is work a punishment for the fall? Will there be work in heaven?

In this episode of Ask Away, Vince and Jo talk about what we should make of this confusing interaction between Jesus and the "Canaanite" woman in Matthew 15 and Mark 7.

Ask Away"Jesus died for you": But what does that really mean?At the heart of the Nicene Creed (325 AD) we find the words: “For our sake [Jesus] was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered, died, and was buried.” But how is it possible that someone who died 2,000 years ago could have died for our sake?! And if Jesus is God, how could He have died? And why would He have died—was this something He chose, or something He was coerced to do?

Why did Jesus institute this sacrament and what should it mean to us today?

How many bodies and whose rights are relevant to “my body, my rights”?

Sharon Dirckx vs Stephen Woodford hosted by Vince VitaleThis week's episode dives deep into one of the most challenging philosophical questions humanity has grappled with for centuries: the problem of natural evil. Hosted by Vince Vitale the show delves into the complexities of evil that seem inherent to the fabric of our world – earthquakes, famines, diseases – phenomena that sometimes shake our faith in a benevolent God.
We're joined by two brilliant minds with divergent perspectives. Sharon Dirckx, a renowned speaker, author, and Christian apologist, returns to Unbelievable? and brings her insights rooted in faith and intellect. With a background in brain imaging from the University of Cambridge, Sharon's late...
2024-05-031h 19Unbelievable?Is there as much reason to believe in an evil God as a good God? Max Baker-Hytch vs Asha Lancaster-Thomas hosted by Vince VitaleIn the discussion on the plausibility of an all-evil God versus an all-good God, Dr. Max Baker-Hytch delivered a compelling argument that encapsulated the essence of the debate. He highlighted the inherent scepticism that arises when considering the 'evil God' hypothesis, pointing out that if such a malevolent deity were to exist, it would provide ample reason to doubt the reliability of our cognitive faculties. According to Dr. Baker-Hytch, the very nature of an evil God would entail a desire to deceive humanity, leading to pervasive doubts and uncertainties. In contrast, the 'good God hypothesis' stands in stark contrast, lacking...

Ask AwayHow could a loving God judge us?Recently we’ve had a number of questions come in around the topic of what God’s judgment of humanity reveals about his character—specifically, whether there is a contradiction between the claim that God loves us and the fact that he nevertheless judges us. This is a question that Jo personally struggled with in her early 20's when she was working on a Masters in Biblical Interpretation, so I’m grateful that you’ll have the chance to hear some of her reflections on this topic through a talk that she gave last month titled, “How could a loving God j...

It refers to a process, some would say a movement, where individuals critically examine their beliefs, doctrines, and assumptions about Christianity. It often involves re-evaluating traditional interpretations of scripture, exploring different theological perspectives, and grappling with doubts and uncertainties.
Many proponents of deconstruction argue that it can lead to a deeper and more authentic faith by shedding outdated or harmful beliefs and embracing a more personal and nuanced understanding of spirituality. Critics, on the o...
