In the final episode of season 3 of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom answer a final collection of challenging questions from the New Testament. Together they explore Paul's teaching about the man of lawlessness and the Antichrist, ask whether Ephesians 6 justifies slavery, and consider how the Bible presents both the love and the wrath of God. They also reflect on the language Christians use about Jesus today, asking whether we've become too familiar in the way we speak about him. Bringing the series to a close, J.John and Tom tackle one final collection of challenging questions from the New Testament.

Does the New Testament really teach that women should remain silent in church? Can women preach, teach, and lead? And what on earth did Paul mean when he wrote that women "will be saved through childbearing"?

In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright tackle some of the most debated passages in Paul's letters concerning women. Together they explore the relationship between Paul's instruction for women to pray and prophesy, his command for women to be silent in the churches, and his teaching in 1 Timothy about authority and teaching. They also unpack the puzzling statement about salvation through childbearing and consider how these passages should be understood in their historical and biblical context.

Along the way, they also address other intriguing questions from the Epistles, including Paul's mysterious reference to baptism for the dead and his famous remark that "Cretans are always liars."

A thoughtful conversation that separates cultural assumptions from biblical teaching and asks what these often-controversial passages really mean today.

What is the one sin that can never be forgiven? Did Jesus really tell people to hate their father and mother? And was he serious when he said to gouge out your eye if it causes you to sin?

They explore the meaning of the "unpardonable sin", why the servant in the parable of the talents is condemned for playing it safe, and what Jesus meant when he said that "many are called, but few are chosen."

A thought-provoking episode that brings clarity to some of the New Testament's most challenging passages.

Did Jesus get the name of Israel's high priest wrong? Why did he say that faith can move mountains? And why did he warn that calling someone "Raca" could bring judgment? What about the relationship between John the Baptist and Elijah?

Whether you've wrestled with these passages for years or are reading them for the first time, this episode offers thoughtful, accessible answers to some of Scripture's toughest questions.

Why did Jesus curse a fig tree? Did he really teach in parables to stop people understanding? And can anyone honestly expect to receive "a hundred times as much" for following him?

In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright unpack some of the most puzzling and misunderstood sayings and actions of Jesus.

A fascinating conversation that reveals the deeper meaning behind some of Jesus' most surprising moments.

Why don't Christians talk more about the return of Jesus? And what difference should it make to the way we live today?

In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom discuss why the Second Coming has often been neglected in preaching, whether there are prophecies that still need to be fulfilled before Christ returns, and what Jesus meant when he said that the gospel must be proclaimed to all nations.

They also ask how Christians should live in the present and talk about how God himself will wipe away every tear.

A hopeful and practical conversation about the return of Jesus, the renewal of all things, and living today in the light of tomorrow.

Why does the Bible speak about a new heaven as well as a new earth? And if God is going to renew creation, why should Christians care about the world right now?
