ReDiscovering God

ReDiscovering God is a Christian theology podcast for listeners who want to revisit familiar doctrines with Scripture open and assumptions exposed. The show is conversational, but its arguments are detailed. Recent episodes move through Eden, Easter, Isaiah 53, the Epistles, the Sermon on the Mount, and biblical stories of violence with a steady focus on what Jesus reveals about God. Its central tension is direct: many biblical writers describe God as both giver of good and sender of disaster, while Jesus teaches enemy love, forgiveness, and not resisting an evil person. The show does not rush that tension. It sits with it. Episodes often build a case passage by passage, with one voice reading a text and another pressing the implications. The result feels like a theological study group with a clear thesis and a high tolerance for hard questions. ReDiscovering God is especially interested in the cross. In the recent series on who killed Jesus, the show argues against blaming God as the one who required Jesus' death before forgiveness could happen. Instead, it frames the crucifixion as a revelation of human violence and divine vulnerability. Easter is treated with similar attention, not as a familiar holiday slogan but as a dramatic reversal that Jesus' followers did not seem to expect. The show also gives serious space to genocide texts, punishment, revenge, and the meaning of justice. Its theology is gentle in aim but not casual in method. It quotes, compares, reasons, and revisits. Personal moments appear too, including admissions of how hard it is to live Jesus' command not to resist an evil person. Ian Hartley, Warren Kay, and Sasha Steenbergen appear in the recent episodes, bringing a mix of reading, response, and reflection. The pacing is patient. The vocabulary is biblical and theological without becoming academic for its own sake. ReDiscovering God will appeal most to Christians who are troubled by violent pictures of God and want a coherent alternative grounded in Jesus. It is not a quick-answer show. It is a sustained attempt to re-see God through mercy, forgiveness, and the cross.
