Episode 57 - Think before you post

In this episode we consider developments since our last podcast, looking at the two-tier policing, media and judiciary in the UK. We discuss the input of Elon Musk, amongst others, and the increasing clamp downs on free speech including arresting people for posts on social media. We conclude with an update on the Keswick Convention debacle, and a reading from Psalm 37.

Episode 54 - The propaganda wizards

In this episode we consider the failings of the UK covid-19 inquiry and its postponement of the module on vaccines and therapeutics, and the response to this from a group of highly qualified experts and medics who have convened a People’s Vaccine Inquiry. We also discuss the upcoming UK election in light of a recent survey by the Evangelical Alliance which gives some interesting insight into the thinking of ‘evangelical’ Christians in the UK. We finish with the need to acknowledge reality and take encouragement from Colossians 2:6-10.

Episode 42 - We don’t need no indoctrination

In this episode we briefly discuss a few topical issues including excess deaths, legal action against Astra Zeneca, pro-Palestine marches and the sad death of baby Indi Gregory. We then focus on the issue of PHSE education (Personal, Social, Health & Economic) in schools. We discuss the ideologies and deceptions it promotes, the dangers it poses to children, the importance of Christian teaching and influence on children, and how we can all have a role in that. We finish with a warning from Jesus in Matthew 18:6.

Episode 36 - Thoughtcrime and other misdemeanours

In this episode we discuss a few topics which have been in the news. We look at people who have being ‘cancelled’ for expressing political or Christian views and for challenging prevailing ideologies. We talk about climate obsession in the Church and the on-going agenda in the media against meat-eating. We end with discussion on efforts to restrict or ban prayer which mean we are not only losing freedom of speech but even freedom of thought. Our closing scripture is 1 John 4:5-6 which reminds us how to know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Episode 26 - Abortion: Is the Gospel big enough?

In this special episode we speak to Dave Brennan from Brephos, a project committed to helping churches respond to abortion. This is a sensitive but important subject, and we look at the realities of abortion, the Biblical theology of the unborn, why the church needs to talk about abortion, and the ethics around the use of cell lines from aborted babies (including in the development of the COVID vaccines). We end with a reminder of the hope which the gospel of Christ offers, a gospel which is big enough to speak into the pain of abortion, and the reality of God’s grace.
