Episode 58 - Going against the flow with William Philip

In this special episode we talk with Rev Dr William Philip, minister of the Tron Church in Glasgow. We discuss the dangers of the ‘climate gospel’, the challenges of the covid era and the failings of many churches, the increasing unrest and disconnect in our nation as our society moves further away from God’s ways, and the challenge for Christians to be courageous and go against the crowd, which may be costly but is an essential part of being a disciple of Christ.

Episode 55 - The glorious few

In this episode we review Nick Franks’ latest book ‘The Glorious Few: Redeeming Radicalisation in the Kingdom of God'. We explore the nature of ‘de-radicalised’ Christianity in the West, the ‘industrial idolatry’ in the church, why the churches closed in 2020, and what ‘redeeming radicalisation’ looks like. We think this is an important book, particularly for the UK church, and would encourage listeners to get a copy for themselves and one for their church leader! We conclude with 2 Timothy 4:8 and "Amen, Come Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20).
