• Between the Seasons Bonus Episode - A H Maslow - The Further Reaches of Human Nature. (Psychology)

  Send us a textThis bonus episode was originally posted as a Patron-only bonus episode on Patreon on November 17, 2024. I hope you enjoy it. explores the life and theories of Abraham Maslow, a prominent psychologist known for his "Hierarchy of Needs" theory andThis special episode delves into the life and theories of Abraham Maslow, a renowned psychologist who is famous for his "Hierarchy of Needs" theory and his contributions to the field of "Humanistic Psychology." In it, I examine the intersection of Maslow’s ideas with Christian principles, analyzing how concepts such as self-actualization and human potential align with the biblical view of human nature, purpose, and fulfillment. I also discuss Maslow’s later work in transpersonal psychology, in which he explored mystical and spiritual experiences, and I critique this, as well as his controversial views on eugenics. Finally, I conclude by arguing that a Christian worldview provides a more comprehensive understanding of human flourishing than Maslow’s theories alone.I shall be posting several bonus episodes over the next week or so whilst I work on our next season together, in which I return to the New Testament and begin our study through Paul's 2nd letter to the church at Corinth. The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

• (Between the Seasons Bonus Episode - Philosophy) Socrates and the Seeds of Christianity.

  Send us a textWelcome to a special bonus episode. I shall be posting several bonus episodes over the next week or so whilst I work on our next season together, in which I return to the New Testament and begin our study through Paul's 2nd letter to the church at Corinth. In this episode, we are reposting an episode I originally posted on 10th November 2024,  one of a series on ancient philosophy and its influence on the early Christian worldview. In it, I examine how the life and teachings of Socrates, one of history's most iconic philosophers, laid the groundwork for the reception and dissemination of the Christian message. I examine the early Greek Pre-Socratic philosophers and Sophists, as well as the transformative impact of Socrates, and the pivotal role of 1st-century Rome and the Pax Romana in the rise of Christianity. The aim of this episode is to offer insights into the historical and philosophical context that shaped the world in which Christianity emerged.I hope you enjoy it.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

• Love Meets on the Threshing Floor. (Ruth 3: 1-18)

  Send us a textHave you ever faced a moment where you weren’t sure if you were staring at an amazing opportunity—or a potential disaster?Life is full of those moments, like that, isn’t it? Times when we have to make decisions without knowing how things will turn out. That’s the very tension we find in Ruth chapter 3. Ruth and Naomi are facing another turning point—an opportunity that could change everything, or a step that could leave Ruth exposed and vulnerable. Naomi has a plan, but Ruth has a choice, and Boaz also has a role to play that will unfold in ways neither of these women could fully predict.So, let’s open Ruth chapter 3 together and see how God uses this midnight encounter on a threshing floor to teach us about faith, character, and what it looks like to walk into uncertain moments with trust in His hand of providence….The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

• How to Always Keep Your Life Going in The Right Direction. (Ruth 2: 1-23)

  Send us a textEpisode Title: How to Always Keep Your Life Going in The Right Direction.In Ruth chapter 2, we see the beauty of kindness at work. Ruth chose to walk in humility and compassion, and in doing so, she encountered Boaz—a godly, gracious, and generous man. His kindness met hers, and together their story points us toward the greater kindness of Christ.This episode explores how small acts of love and mercy can open the way to God’s blessings, shaping not just our lives but the lives of those around us. Which road are you on—the path of self-interest, or the road of kindness and service? Scripture reminds us, “mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13).Join me as we learn from Ruth’s example and discover the direction God calls us to walk: the way of kindness, mercy, and Christlike love.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.
