Isolation - Are we really alone? Or have we become isolated because of faith in shaky ideas?

In this episode we explore Elijah's struggles with feeling alone. It's a feeling very common to us all, at one point or another. How did he get there? How true were his feelings?

Pride - Do I understand the folly of pursuing my own greatness vs. imitating Christ?

In this episode we trace the pattern in scripture of how pride inevitably leads to downfall. We reflect on Stockton Rush, a modern day parable of the truth of scripture - and yet very much the spirit of our age, of all ages. We discuss how Paul contrasts this with the weakness and humilation of true Christian ministry in 1 Corinthians 4, and how through imitating Christ, we can live in a way that leads to true greatness.
