The Speak Life Podcast

If Jesus is the cure, what’s the disease? Join Glen Scrivener and Naomi Brehm as they explore 6 different lenses the Bible gives us to view the human condition, because how we view “sin” influences how we view the nature of God himself.

In this episode (Part 1 of 2), we cover:

Transgression/Forgiveness
Power/Deliverance
Defilement/Cleansing
Idolatry/Reorientation
Death/Life
Betrayal/Love

Thomas Thorogood unpacks the meaning of ‘The Odyssey’ (2026 movie), written and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Charlize Theron. It's an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey from around the 8th century BC. How does the movie handle the fantastical elements of the story? And does its outlook on war owe more to Christianity than Ancient Greece?
