In this episode we address the danger posed by the islamification of Britain through immigration, islamic culture, buildings and festivals. We discuss the ideology of multiculturalism and how it is incompatible with Christianity and our western culture. We look at some recent cases of ‘two-tier’ justice and the increasing threats to freedom of speech in Britain. We finish with reading from 2 Corinthians 10:5 which shows us why we have to be able to criticise false religions and ideologies.

In this episode we discuss the prominent figure Francis Collins, an American physician-scientist and evangelical Christian who led the Human Genome Project, and more recently led the National Institute of Health (NIH) and acted as Science Advisor to President Joe Biden. We review a recent interview he gave to the ‘Re-enchanting’ podcast with Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall following the publishing of his latest book ‘The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith & Trust’. We discuss the dangers of ‘celebrity Christians’, blindly following ‘The Science’, and the accusations made towards those who question the established narrative in their search for truth. We finish with a warning from Jesus in Luke 6:24-26.

Thursday Dec 12, 2024

In this episode we focus on the 'assisted suicide' bill which was voted through in parliament on Black Friday. We discuss the ethical principles at stake and the biblical truths which should guide us and give hope to those who are suffering and facing death. We consider the grim realities of 'assisted death', the dark forces behind the campaign and the response of the Church. We finish by reading from 2 Chronicles 16:9.

Sunday Nov 24, 2024

In this episode we discuss the farmers' protest in London following the government's decision to introduce inheritance tax for farmers in the recent budget, now known as the 'family farm tax'. We consider the devastating impact this will have, why it matters and how it is part of a bigger picture which is important to recognise. We finish with a timely challenge from Morgoth suggesting we (including farmers) need to be good men rather than nice guys, and a sobering but encouraging reading from Habbakuk 3:17-18.

Friday Aug 23, 2024

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. We finish with hearing about William’s new book on the Psalms, ‘Heart Songs for Every Saint’.

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 55 - The glorious few

Saturday Jul 06, 2024

Saturday Jul 06, 2024

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).

Saturday Jun 15, 2024

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.

In this special episode we talk with Dr Clare Craig who is a diagnostic pathologist and Co-Chair of the HART Group. We discuss how Clare came to question the covid narrative in the summer of 2020 and the response she received when she started to speak out about her concerns. We talk about covid measures, the vaccine roll-out and why many medics have failed to question the mainstream narrative. We also discuss the importance of waking up from ‘cloud covid land’ and Clare’s spiritual journey and resulting Christian faith.
