Faith on Fire Ireland

We can be kind of sensitive in this part of the world about converting to another religion. And we're not the only ones! But what does the Bible say about being converted? Join Oriel as he takes a look at a Statement from the Apostle Peter in Acts 3:19, before there were any Christian denominations! Is being converted just changing from one religion to another, or is it more than that?

Is Christianity the Problem or the Solution? To answer this question, I travelled to Derry/Londonderry in Northern Ireland. We put this question to people on the Streets of Derry, a city once deeply divided over Christianity. Then we talked to James Wilson, pastor of the Derry Baptist Fellowship https://derryfellowship.com/Video Version: https://youtu.be/LICgDNPtfiEAudio Version: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1635799/shareTadhg's Story: https://youtu.be/kz2Y_SUV0AgCHRISTIANITY – Problem or Solution?

A fun, yet hard-hitting interview with Youth Pastor Micah Potter from Chicago, Illinois. Our discussion ranged from Micah's (sometimes humorous) impressions of Ireland and Europe, to why Atheism is more common in Europe than America. One of the most diverse, and definitely the funniest episodes I've done! Questions or Comments? Get in Touch! info@faithonfireireland.net www.faithonfireireland.net

In the first episode of season two, Oriel speaks about a black hole, a figurative one, which is sucking people in our culture in and from which many cannot escape. Why do we see “a strange melancholy often haunting inhabitants of democracies in the midst of abundance?” (Alexis De Toqueville) Is it possible to live freely and happily, to live life as it was intended to be lived? info@faithonfireireland.netwww.faithonfireireland.net

My friend Paul Anobile hails from Brooklyn, New York and you will love his accent! Paul has a remarkable story and a passion for teaching and explaining the Bible, especially to those who may not believe it is true. In this eclectic conversation, Paul and I discuss topics as diverse as Apologetics, Liberalism and Repentance...and almost everything in between! (My apologies for the poor sound quality, this was our first long distance interview, and I have figured out a much better system for future interviews. It won't sound like I'm inside a tin can next time, I promise!) info@faithonfireireland.netwww.faithonfireireland.net

William was leading a decidedly normal life as a young man in Ireland, and had just married the girl of his dreams.

56,000 young mothers hidden away and mistreated57,000 babies born into dreadful conditions 15% of these babies died tragically in infancyAnd those figures are just from the homes the recently published Mother and Baby Homes Commission actually investigated.
