Do you have questions about God, the Bible, or Christianity? Do you want to be more like Jesus, but you don’t know where to start? That’s why Finchwood exists: following Jesus means we have to actually have those conversations, ask bold questions, and embark on the lifelong journey to discover what God is like. Every 2nd and 4th Friday, this podcast covers a subject that’s essential to your spiritual development as a disciple of Jesus. If that sounds interesting, start by listen to our first episode, “Welcome to Finchwood!” and feel free to drop us a line... especially if you have a topic you’d like to see covered (no topic is out of bounds).

When we talk about Christianity, there's an elephant in the room that we don't really talk about much: Christians aren't always a lot like Jesus. What do we do about that? And how do we move forward?
This episode very briefly talks about those challenges, first by acknowledging the problem, and then by proposing a possible solution: there is a middle way that runs in between toxic church culture on one side and and full deconstruction and disillusionment on the other side. It's a hard road to walk, but it's worth the journey.

"Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely." 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NLT)
