    2022/04/14
    In the final episode from series 1, Pete and Jamie continue the conversation about the differences between personality-driven churches and five-fold ministry churches.

    The bible tells us that we're transformed when we behold God's glory, so why is introspection so rife within the church? In this episode, Jamie and Pete examine the biblical model for transformation - where the abundant life Jesus promised His followers becomes ours as we're increasingly preoccupied with Him - and contrast this with a worrying trend of 'peeling back the layers' in order to find ever more layers of brokenness.
