Description

A Podcast about the Bible 

Every two weeks, from two different countries, the two hosts of the Two Texts podcast pick two biblical texts to talk about. Each episode we pick one text to talk about, which invariably leads to us talking about two texts and often many more.

Dr John Andrews and Dr David Harvey share a mutual fascination with the Bible. Simple yet complex; ancient yet relevant; challenging yet comforting. But one thing that fascinates them consistently is that, like a kaleidoscope, no matter how many times they look at it there is something new, fresh and exciting to talk about.

This podcast is designed for you regardless of how much or how little you've read the Bible. Grab a hot beverage, a notepad (or app), and a Bible, sit back, listen, enjoy, and learn to also become fascinated (or grow your fascination) with this exciting, compelling and mysterious book. 

John and David are two friends who love teaching the Bible and have both been privileged enough to be able to spend their careers doing this - in colleges, universities, churches, homes and coffee shops. The two of them have spent extended periods of time as teaching staff and leadership in seminary and church contexts. John has regularly taught at David's church, and there was even a point where John was David's boss! 

Nowadays David is a Priest and Pastor in Calgary, Canada, and John teaches and consults for churches in the UK and around the world. They're both married with children (John 3, David 1) and in John's case even grandchildren. In their down time you'll find them cooking, reading, running or watching football (but the one thing they don't agree on is which team to support).

In which John and David continue exploring Jesus as the true vine, asking what it really means to bear fruit. If Christ is the vine and we are the branches, fruitfulness is not our attempt to imitate Jesus, but Jesus producing his life in and through us: Christ-shaped people bearing Christ-shaped fruit.

In which John and David explore Jesus’ final great “I am” statement, tracing the true vine through Israel’s story and following John’s repeated language of remaining. What begins with the disciples asking Jesus where he remains reaches a remarkable answer: remain in me, as I remain in you.

In which John and David explore what Jesus means when he says, “If you love me, you will keep my commands.” Is Jesus issuing a demand, or describing what naturally grows from loving him? They trace echoes of Deuteronomy, ask what happens when Christianity becomes morality without encounter, and consider how being loved by God becomes love expressed in the world.

In which John and David continue their conversation around Jesus as the Way, exploring the exclusivity of his claim, what it means to read Scripture backwards through Jesus, and the striking connections between John 14 and Ephesians 2. They trace the movement through Father, Son, and Spirit, and consider the disciples’ realization that they are already held within this divine life.

In which John and David return from a summer "digital break" to Jesus’ “I am” sayings and one of the most familiar verses in John’s Gospel. Reading “I am the way, the truth and the life” within the unsettled atmosphere of the Upper Room, they explore anxious disciples, troubled hearts, Jesus’ departure, and why these famous words might offer more than a familiar statement about salvation.
