“Science is rational and Christianity is not”… such is the claim of many strident atheists. Many go further and say Christianity is actively at war with science, suppressing its truth. In reality, this claim is but one of the myths some people wrap around themselves in order to hide from truth and stay huddled within the rhetoric of their own kind. The truth is far more complex. Read on…

Is it valid to say that atheists have no excuse for their atheism because the evidence for God is plainly seen in the order of creation? Is the problem for belief “lack of evidence,” or is it wilful suppression of evidence? Let’s take a look at a thorny issue.

Sometimes it is great to slow down and appreciate the absurd beauty of the world we live in. Does this beauty have significance, or are all living things simply meaningless bags of protons, electrons and neutrons?

Gods character by Nick Hawkes

Where is western society going now that it is sloughing off Christian morality and hope? What symptoms are we seeing and what does it mean for the future? Can we regain the hope that’s been lost?

The creation accounts in the first three chapters of the bible have caused an ungodly fight amongst Christians… and earned ridicule from atheists. So, how should the creation of accounts of God making the world in six days, and the Adam and Eve story, be rightly understood?

Celebrity atheists pandering to popularism have made the assertion that the biblical accounts of Jesus are fiction and cannot be trusted. Their audacious assertion is based on wilful deceit. So, what is actually true?

Death is a disturbing reality. How do we make sense of it? Why does death even have to exist? Can we see evidence for God in the reality of death?

The concept of “truth” has come under attack in recent decades. How important is truth when considering spirituality and religion? What is the significance of Christianity being a religion based on historical facts that can be forensically examined?

Is the significance of humanity nothing more than being the animal that’s on top of the food chain? What would be the significance if that were true? And what would be the significance if it were not true?

What made a brutalised slave trader become a church minister… and write the words to the hymn “Amazing Grace”? Where does Christianity get its amazing power to transform people… and what is the significance of it? Listen for more.

It may be a little unsettling but the fact remains: a chimpanzee and a human being have 98.8 per cent of their DNA in common. So, how special are human beings? Is there evidence that we are special and purposed?

Does Christianity require you to believe “six impossible things before breakfast”? No, it doesn’t. And what is more intriguing: top scientists now understand that both science and faith require faith.

How did the universe actually begin? The answer is astounding. The big question is: was it an accident… or are their signs of purpose? Listen for more.

Explore the wonders of the cosmos, including a diamond weighing ten billion, trillion, trillion carats! Allow the mysteries of the universe point you to the possibility of God. Listen for more.

Have you ever contemplated the extraordinary concept of “eternity”? We explore the idea, and evidence for it, in this talk. Listen for more.

The world was turned upside down for the 1960’s pop/folk legend, Bob Dylan, when he went back to his hotel after a gig. He was feeling jaded with his celebrity world of booze, drugs, sex and endless performances… and it led to him having an encounter with Jesus.

Some of the world's popular atheists claim that Jesus never existed and was not a historical figure. This is wilful deception and quite shocking in its untruth. Even non-Christian historians who lived about the time of Jesus wrote about him, e.g. the Jewish historian, Josephus. Listen to find out more. Do please pass this on to anyone who might be helped by it

Understand the raw reality of atheism. Is it logically credible... and is it good for society?

Christianity is increasingly being attacked by popularist atheists who make the audacious claim that there is no historical evidence of Jesus and the gospel events recorded in the Bible existing in history. If you have wondered what archaeological evidence actually exists - this podcast is for you.

Not giving offence by our language is an inherently good and godly thing. But when cries for political correctness go hand in hand with identity politics, political correctness can stop being a mark of politeness... and become a tool of oppression. How are ideologues using language today to re-engineer society and pull it away from God's principles?

Dare we believe that truth exits? Can unchanging, non-rubbery truth give us the safe assurances we so desperately seek? Can truth even teach us about our true identity and purpose? Enjoy finding out.

No civil civilisation can thrive without being grounded in truth. Today, Western civilisation risks losing its confidence in truth -- a truth grounded in its Christian heritage -- and so risks losing its civility and hope.

Fulfilment, a the world popularly defines it, is not all that it is cracked up to be. To reach the top and still have no idea about who you are, how sacred you are, and what you purpose is means you have not succeeded at all. You are simply a temporary user of the world's resources. But to fulfil your purpose in God... that is entirely different.

Anxiety is the disease of our time. It springs from concerns over our identity, value and purpose. How do we tame the beast using the wisdom Jesus taught?
