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.
Jen is back from Bolivia with tales to share, Glover's Off is about escapology and there's a Gem about making sure our relationships with young people grow with them.
The main subject for discussion is John 18, a chapter in which Light and Life is threatened by fearful lies, brutal power-play and pragmatic cynicism as darkness and death encroach.
This episode was engineered and edited by Aimee Higgins.

Join Fiona, Neil and Gill 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.
With Jen still away in Bolivia, Gill once again joins Fiona and Neil to discuss John 17, a chapter where the glory of Fatherly intimacy and eternal transcendence, the past, the future, the here and now, and the eternity that contains it all come into focus. Glover's Off is about bridges, and proves more linked to the content of the conversation than anticipated, and Gill's jewel is on the usefulness discerning the sort of sacred pathway you enjoy.

Join Fiona, Neil and Gill 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.
After an introduction to Gill, Glover's Off is about the late Queen and the main discussion is on John 16, a chapter full of plain speaking, figurative illustration and prophetic anticipation. With no Jen to give us a gem, Gill has a jewel, about the power of story, and the role of older people in the lives of younger people.

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.

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.

The main discussion is on John 15, a chapter with a trio of big questions, a trifold description of Jesus and a tranche of trinitarian truth.

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.

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 is on Munros (mountains over 3000 feet) and the love of lists, before discussion turns to John 11, a chapter where a chain of immediate events links us into the ultimate smashing of the chains of death, injustice and sin for all. Jen's Gem is about a brilliant examen mug available from YouthScape

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 time is on the power of football to unite and divide, then the discussion moves to a conversation on John 9, a chapter where eyes are opened, unseen perspectives are shifted and the seeing feel 'seen'. Jen's Gem is about learning from your past mistakes in youth and children's work, and helping others to do the same.
