Christopher B Miller

Formation for Christians who don't panic, rush or retreat.

PC Speaking

Not every tension in the Christian life is meant to be solved.
Some are meant to be held. This week, we are wrestling with one of the most challenging tensions believers face: liberty and holiness.

 
What happens when sincere Christians love Jesus, honour Scripture, and still land differently? What if growth doesn’t come from choosing a side, but from learning to remain calm, loving, and faithful in the tension God allows?

 
Romans 14 reminds us that formation happens not when tension disappears, but when love governs how we live with one another.

 
If faith ever feels complicated, uncomfortable, or slow—this message is for you.

#552 Tension: Liberty - Holiness

Ever been curious about what a pastor does during the week? This week, Pastor Chris is talking candidly about it, tying it with the tension between faithfulness and harvest that all believers wrestle with.

What does success look like for a Christian? We’re often tempted to measure success by results. Scripture tells a different story.

Faithfulness is obedience - Producing a harvest is God’s work.

When we confuse the two, we drift into anxiety, manipulation, or discouragement. God forms people through unseen obedience before visible fruit.

#551 Tension: Faithfulness - Harvest

Authority isn’t domination - Servanthood isn’t weakness.
Jesus shows us a better way, strength used to serve and leadership willing to bleed.
Gentle for the sheep. Dangerous for the wolves.

#550 Tension: Authority - Servanthood

Tension isn’t something to escape. And it isn’t always something to solve.

In this episode, we begin a new series exploring the tensions God intentionally holds together—tensions people keep trying to resolve, but can’t.

We look at Tradition and Progress, and why nostalgia and novelty are both shortcuts that promise relief but quietly undermine formation. Scripture doesn’t call us backward or forward into anxiety—it calls us to remain present, faithful, and settled before God.

 

Spiritual maturity doesn’t come from eliminating tension.

It grows as we learn to stay calm, grounded, and obedient within it.

 

God is not anxious.

And neither should we be.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to choose sides, fix everything, or escape discomfort, this conversation will help you recognise the difference between a problem to solve and a tension God may be using to form you.

#549 Tension: Tradition - Progress

Two sons. Two ways of living. One feast.

In Luke 15, Jesus exposes how both conformity and rebellion can leave us standing outside the celebration. The difference isn’t behaviour. 

This week, we’re looking at why one brother joined the feast and the other wouldn't.

Learn why the Gospel isn’t just the beginning of Christian life—it’s the whole thing.

#548 Resentment - The Snare of The Older Brother

We all live with images in our minds. Images of success, nostalgia, a version of life where everything feels right. But when those images become our hope and what we serve, they become idols. And idols always disappoint.

Jesus didn’t come to fulfil an imagined version of ‘home’. But to bring us to the place we truly belong.

#547 Return - The Welcoming Father

Why does extreme religious ideology continue to fracture modern Western culture?

 

Jesus answered that question millennia ago by exposing the heart of the older brother.

 

Week 3 of The Prodigal Son

Decision — The Realisation of Need

#546 Decision - The Realisation of Need

The prodigal son story isn’t just about rebellion; it’s also about the kind of obedience that can leave us just as lost.

This week, we look at how doing everything right can still leave us far from God.

#545 Decay - The Deception of Freedom

Most people know the story of the prodigal son.
Fewer realise it’s actually a story about two lost sons.

This week: 'Departure - The Illusion of Independence' where we'll be exploring how independence from God—whether through rebellion or obedience—promises freedom but quietly leaves us isolated.

Join us online as we open Luke 15 and ask an honest question:
Where do you see yourself in the story?
