Theology Club: Violence, War and Pacifism
In this eight-part series, we journey through Scripture with Tom O'Toole, wrestling with profound questions about violence, war, and Christian peace-making from Cain and Abel to Revelation, discovering how the Bible's hard passages speak to our discipleship in a violent world today. We emerge equipped to think theologically about justice and conflict, shaped by Jesus' call to be peacemakers whose hope rests in God's kingdom where swords are beaten into ploughshares.

Trauma & Restoration
Talking about trauma has become increasingly common—and that’s a good thing, isn’t it? After all, it’s high on God’s agenda.

Trauma & Restoration serves to help survivors understand the nature of trauma and Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) while equipping those who support them.
