Join Fiona, Neil and Jen for the fourth season of The Outspoken Bible as they talk their way through the gospel of John in pursuit of old truths and fresh insights.
This episode, which was recorded prior to the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II, patron of Scottish Bible Society, leads in into the next Chapter of John's gospel. Jen is preparing for her epic voyage to South America and Neil has been on holiday. Meanwhile, Fiona's been loafing around looking for someone to take Jen's place during September. Glover's Off is Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings. Jen's Gem is on the significance of having a tissue and listening to bullied teenagers. The main discussion is on John 15, a chapter which, like a vintage bottle of wine, is packed full of fruit, has complex notes and provokes deep conversation about love, hate and friendship.
This episode was engineered and edited by Aimee Higgins.

After a summer break with opportunities for mission and rest, the team is back for the second part of this season. Glover's Off is about revisiting the loose ends of life through a reflection on Australian soap operas and Jen's Gem is on the importance of questions. The main discussion is on John 13, a chapter of foot-washing, bread-breaking, soul-searching and back-stabbing, and there's a definitive decision on episode length. Welcome back!

Join Fiona, Neil and Jen for the fourth season of The Outspoken Bible as they talk their way through the gospel of John in pursuit of old truths and fresh insights.
Glover's Off this week is about bright sunlit fields and the main discussion is on John 12, a chapter where the fragrance of devotion and the cries of adulation hang heavy in the air and the hour of crucifixion is rumoured on the wind. Jen's Gem is about the importance of getting away from it all with the young people in your care.
The podcast is taking a break for the month of July and will return in August for discussion on the next chapter of John's gospel.
