The Curious Case of Being Human

with Matt Cooper and Isabelle Hamley

What does it really mean to be human? Fragile, resilient, limited, imaginative, mortal, loved. Our humanity is a mystery that resists simple answers.

In this special six-part short series, Matt Cooper and Isabelle Hamley explore The Curious Case of Being Human through the lens of Scripture, story, and lived experience. Each episode wrestles with a challenge or opportunity that is at the very heart of the human experience


  • Embodied – What does it mean that the Word became flesh in a digital age where escape feels easier than presence?
  • Related & Dependent – Are we ever truly independent, or is our humanity found in connection?
  • Fragile & Vulnerable – Can weakness be a place of strength, and what does faith look like when life breaks us open?
  • Limited – What if our boundaries are not barriers but invitations to deeper living?
  • Mortal – How does facing death help us to live more fully now?
  • Loved – At the core of it all, is love the truest thing about us?


Across these conversations, Matt and Isabelle bring together biblical wisdom, theology, cultural insights, and personal stories—from border crossings to school corridors, from laughter to lament and ask: What does the bible and christian tradition have to say to about human condition today?

    • Love With Teeth
      Dec 15 2025

      What happens when love forgets its strength?
      In this episode a story about a lion sets the scene for a bigger question: what kind of love can hold truth, justice, and gentleness together? This episode explores how our view of love shapes the way we see Jesus and the world around us.

    • Death Isn’t Nothing at All
      Dec 8 2025

      In this episode, we explore Scripture’s delicate balance: the acceptance of a life completed, the lament for the rupture that death brings, and the grounded hope that never needs to deny pain. Instead of over-describing the afterlife, faith offers images sturdy enough to trust and practices strong enough to carry us when words fail.

    • The Tower We Cannot Build
      Dec 1 2025

      Ever found yourself frustrated by your human limitations? You're not alone. Throughout history, we've been obsessed with transcending our boundaries, building towers to heaven, conquering new frontiers, and pushing against the constraints of our humanity. In this episode we ask is there anything to gain from a limited existence.
