Edgar Andrews’ Onefootinglory Podcast
Old men are often said to have ”one foot in the grave” but those whose trust is wholly in Jesus Christ for time and eternity are not looking forward to the grave but to glory, for the Bible says that to be ”absent from the body” is to be ”present with the Lord”. At the age of 87, therefore, I have chosen this name for my new podcast which will feature videos of talks, comments and lectures about the Bible and science and also Bible expositions.

Aug 24, 2025
Aug 24, 2025
1 hr 20 min
This episode examines Luke 15’s prodigal son parable, contrasting the younger son’s selfish devaluation of his inheritance with Christ’s sacrificial love and purpose. It highlights the father’s mercy, the son’s repentance, and how redemption and gifts are ultimately God’s work.
Key themes include repentance as a gift, the true value of redemption through Christ, and the transforming grace that restores the lost to life and sonship.

This episode introduces Haman—the highly promoted official whose Amalekite ancestry makes him hate the Jews and drives him to plot their destruction throughout the empire. We see his rise to power, how by stealth he secured the king’s signet ring, and how he used it to issue an edict for the Jewish genocide. But God uses Haman's superstitious search for an auspicious date for action, to delay and ultimately frustrate his plans, demonstrating divine sovereignty over apparent chance.

Aug 17, 2025
19 min
This episode is the fourth reading from “Free in Christ,” unpacking Galatians 1:13–24. It traces Paul’s background in Judaism, his dramatic calling by God’s grace, and his commission to preach Christ—especially to the Gentiles. We explore why Paul’s gospel stands independent of human authority, how our completeness in Christ leaves no room for added rituals or works, and why preaching Christ alone safeguards believers from false teaching.

AUDIO; TRUST GOD'S WISDOM NOT MAN'S

In 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. Paul expounds the profound contrast between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God. He defines the wisdom of the world as any wisdom, however prized by man that is ineffective in enabling us to know God (not just to know about God). Meanwhile, God's wisdom, working through the Holy Spirit, Scriptures, and the Saviour, provides the path to true knowledge and salvation. (Previously published in 2022).

AUDIO; PAUL'S PEN ON FIRE; GALATIANS READING 3
Aug 10, 2025
Aug 10, 2025
31 min
In one of the most vehement passages of the New Testament, Paul denounces any deviations from the gospel he preached, warning the Galatians that disaster awaits if they turn to "a different gospel." Paul's writings reflect deep concern for the Galatians who, though genuine believers, were being led astray by false teachers. He argues passionately for the preservation of the pure gospel emphasizing that its purpose is ultimately not to please man but to glorify God.
