Tom Wright and Mike Bird begin with a thoughtful look at church models, exploring how the New Testament envisions the people of God, why no single structure is “the” biblical one, and how modern churches can still reflect the unity and mission of early Christian communities.

They then tackle a classic liturgical puzzle: how the doxology at the end of the Lord’s Prayer entered Christian worship, its textual history, and why it continues to express something deeply true about Jesus’ teaching.

Finally, they address a growing concern: Have New Age ideas seeped into Christian spirituality? Tom offers pastoral guidance on discernment, prayer, and how to recognise the difference between historic Christian faith and self-help mysticism.

A warm, practical episode helping listeners navigate Scripture, tradition, and contemporary spiritual culture.
