Whether you’re a seasoned Christian or new to the faith, parts of the Bible will always be a challenge to grasp. So how do we understand the overarching story of Scripture? Which chapters are we missing out on by sticking to the familiar ones? And is there really anything to learn from those endless genealogies? Theologian Dr. Andrew Ollerton spoke with Michael Fanstone about these questions.

Milly Tinson won Premier Unbelievable's Young Preaching Prize earlier this year. She spoke to Michael Fanstone about her first-ever sermon, Amy Orr-Ewing's simple piece of advice, and why she'd be happy to see more 5-year-old preachers like Luke Tillman on stage.
