Why stop at Sunday? Beyond the Sermon is where we go beyond the Sunday sermon and talk about the real questions of faith, life, and everything in between. From the tough questions to the everyday moments that test what we believe, each episode takes you deeper into the topics that shape how we live and follow Jesus today.
This week, Shelley and Sam tackle one of the hardest questions out there: If Christianity is true, why has the church been responsible for so much injustice?
From the Crusades and colonisation to hypocrisy and abuse scandals, we explore how people throughout history have used (and misused) Scripture and why that doesn’t reflect the real Jesus.
Drawing from Tim Keller’s “The Reason for God,” we unpack how faith has the power to both critique and renew itself and how the gospel, when lived out rightly, has shaped hospitals, human rights, and justice movements across history.Shelley and Sam also talk about how Christians today can respond to the church’s failures with honesty, humility, and hope and how Jesus’ example of sacrifice and love still changes everything.
