Interview: 30 years of Matthias Media

We began with two goals. The first goal was to encourage churches to hold the line on biblical convictions, and to think through the shape of ministry that flows from those biblical convictions. The second goal was to produce resources that would help those churches to implement that type of ministry.
Refusing the 'me first' marriage: Learning to pray without ceasing for your marriage
- Mike Taylor •
- 26 October 2020
One sinner plus one sinner doesn’t equal zero conflict. You cannot avoid it because marriage is an unconditional covenant and commitment to an imperfect and sinful person.
Why we don’t ask God for things—and why we should
- Jean Williams •
- 17 July 2015
Nothing is too trivial for me to pray about, from the common cold to parking spots. But I often forget to ask for things that really matter, from big things like the growth of God’s kingdom to little things like daily help with my anxieties and ungodliness.

The Christian passport
- Phillip Jensen •
- 14 July 2015
Passports are really important. You can’t enter the kingdom of heaven with the wrong one. You can’t use anybody else’s passport. You have to have your own. It must be current. It must not be a fake or forgery. It must be recognised by the government. Without the right passport there is no entry into God’s kingdom.

Biblical recruitment: Human-shaped service
- Peter Tong •
- 10 July 2015
Most pastors at one time or another have had a conversation with someone engaged in ministry, when they tell us things aren’t going so well. It can be hard to diagnose the problem in the moment. Maybe the person is over it or burnt out, too busy elsewhere, or wanting to try something new.

The reluctant Swedish reader
- Carl Matthei •
- 23 May 2015
I am a reluctant convert to the Swedish Method for Bible study. I read the Briefing article all of those years ago and decided to try it out in a couple of Bible study groups. It didn’t work! It didn’t seem to make group members think deeply enough about the passage, and it seemed to promote surface-level easy answers.
