  Eastern Orthodoxy and the Search for the True Church

  Aug 20, 202622 min

  What makes Eastern Orthodoxy so appealing today? Historic churches frame themselves as the ‘one true church’, claiming to have church history on their side. This draws a generation facing an ever-changing, unstable world who are seeking stability and truth. Here we explore where church tradition falls short on forming good theology, what the church fathers believed, and what Protestants can learn from the Orthodox Church. Are the Orthodox Church’s claims legitimate, or are they raising tradition above the authority of Scripture?

  Is Catholicism Making a Comeback?

  Aug 5, 202654 min

  Why are so many Christians becoming Catholic? We explore the cultural and spiritual forces behind this growing trend – from the appeal of historic traditions in an ever-changing world to the claim that the Catholic Church is the one true church. Andrew Selley and Luke Hulley unpack the biblical convictions Christians cannot afford to overlook. Throughout history, the church has repeatedly needed reformation by the Spirit of God. As believers seek authenticity today, how do we discern between a genuine return to the Bible's pattern and traditions Scripture never established?

  What Is Happening With Gen Z?

  Continuationism or Cessationism?

  Jun 25, 20261h 1m

  Are the spiritual gifts for today? There is a growing debate around cessationism – whether the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the church today. In this session, Andrew Selley and Mike Davies respond to this discussion, weighing up what Scripture shows us about the biblical work of the Holy Spirit. They address the tensions to be held between quenching the Spirit and the excesses found in some charismatic churches today. Are we embracing the fullness of New Testament Christianity when we allow spiritual gifts such as prophecy and tongues to operate, or was the promise of signs and wonders for a different time?

  Can We Sing Bethel’s Songs?

  Jun 18, 202626 min

  Can we separate the song from the source? Does the source of a worship song determine whether we should sing it? In this conversation, Andrew Selley and Mike Davies offer a biblical perspective on the debate around worship music. They illustrate whether believers can sing songs written by artists or movements with questionable theology or practice, and if those songs can compromise our churches. By looking at the impact of online discernment ministries and cancel culture on the body of Christ, we are challenged to respond biblically rather than react culturally.
