Glen Scrivener reflects on 500 episodes of The Speak Life Podcast. They discuss the changing faith conversation, the importance of perseverance, the contrast between a totalitarian God and a loving God, and the comedy of Easter. They address the Ravi Zacharias scandal and the wisdom of Lori Ann Thompson. They also talk about wounds and restoration within the church community, perceiving God, the appeal of organized religion, and reaching out to younger generations.

Paul Blackham, a theologian and church planter, dives into a thought-provoking discussion about the connection between human rights and faith.
