The OddFather Podcast

Two guys who like science and probably think too much, but also love God and love being His children, get together with a common understanding.

This God they love is really confusing.

How has the world we live in shaped what we believe about what believe? And why do these two find their Father so odd?

  • Ep 86: Sorry? What Is Apologetics?
    Chris and Pete look at this strange beast called Christian Apologetics. What is it? Why is it? Does it confuse more than confirm? Do we need it or is it a distraction? Can we be okay with not knowing or do we need our beliefs to be scientifically legitimate? And today, is it nothing more than just a tik tok bunfight?
  • Ep 85: Doesn’t God Do the work?
    One for the creative folk. Surely all we do is create what god tells us to? Does Chris write his own sermons? Did Pete write his novels? Or do we only do what God tells us? Is it God doing the art works? Is God in control of your creativity or is it YOU, the human, who is creative? Did God tell you that? Do individuals need each other to be effective creatively, or is God enough?
  • Ep 84: Miracles Versus signs
    Chris and Pete have another wrestle with translating the words we know so well. Like a bible full of miracles… are they really? Should we ever pray for a miracle? Why are they so special? Why does God even roll out miracles? Have we misunderstood what they are? Is it a magic show? A party trick? Or is it something far more important?
  • Ep 83: The Nothing Consideration
    Chris and Pete look at leaving a legacy. Why do we strive for more? Do us humans need to strive for greatness? Is that a God thing or a human misunderstanding thing? Maybe we should try to be an influencer? Is leaving a legacy worth anything and does it matter? Do we do bad when we try to be great?
  • Ep 82: The Love Transaction
    ‘I love you because…’ and therefore, Chris and Pete wonder, isn’t love a transaction? Can we love without transactions? What is selfless love, if we are selfish people? Is there something in our relationships that means we are always in a self-serving, transactional place and do we test God’s love, transactionally? If you do this… But what about unconditional love?
