Western Christianity is facing a crisis few are willing to name: a dramatic collapse in fertility—not driven by secular culture alone, but by a deep theological shift within the Church itself. When Christians stop seeing children as blessings and adopt the secular logic of autonomy, convenience, and lifestyle optimisation, the result is quiet demographic suicide. Meanwhile, other faith communities retain a strong pro-natalist vision rooted in their theology. My latest article argues that the renewal of Christianity in the West begins with recovering a biblical imagination of fruitfulness, generational faithfulness, and the courage to welcome life.#Christianity #Theology #FaithAndCulture #Demographics #ChurchDecline #ChristianEthics #FamilyAndFaith #ProLifeTheology #CulturalAnalysis #ChristianLeadership #BiblicalAnthropology #PublicTheology #WesternChurch #FaithInBritain #FertilityCrisis #ChurchRenewal #brendonnaicker #livingtheology

Christian unity is shifting.Catholics and Orthodox are moving toward each other—returning to the Creed, the councils, the ancient faith.Meanwhile, much of Protestantism is splintering into smaller tribes, chasing relevance, and drifting from its roots.Why is this happening in 2025?What does Nicaea's 1700th anniversary reveal about the fractures (and future) of the Church?And what does it say about our obsession with individualism, independence, and unaccountable leaders?In this episode, we dive into the revival no one in the Protestant world is talking about—and what it demands of us now.#LivingTheology #ChurchUnity #Nicaea1700 #PopeLeoXIV #OrthodoxChurch #CatholicChurch #Protestantism #Ecclesiology #ChristianHistory #FaithCrisis #Revival2025 #BodyOfChrist #TheologyPodcast #ChristianReformation #ChristianUnityMovement #brendonnaicker #livingtheology

In this episode of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker explores what Christian mission looks like in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and growing hostility towards public expressions of faith. As entry-level jobs disappear and believers find themselves silenced or marginalised, Brendon reflects on how God is forming a new kind of missionary—quiet, agile, deeply human, and Spirit-led. Drawing on the biblical theme of exile, he considers how witness now moves through gig work, digital spaces, small communities, and the simple power of Christ-like presence. Even in an age of automation, the gospel remains undiminished. The machine may limit the platform, but it cannot limit the mission.#LivingTheology #BrendonNaicker #ChristianMission #FaithInTheModernWorld #TheologyToday#ChurchInExile #MissionInModernity #GospelWitness #AIandFaith #ChristianInTheDigitalAge#FaithAndTechnology #AIEthics #DigitalMission #MissionInTheMachineAge #ExilesInTheAlgorithm#SpiritLed #ChristInCulture #HopeInExile #KingdomLife #DiscipleshipJourney #FaithOverFear#ChristianPodcast #PodcastEpisode #NewEpisode #TheologyPodcast #BibleTeaching #ChristianLiving

In this episode of Living Theology, we explore one of the most profound contrasts between Christianity and Islam — the vision of divine rule.Islam builds the Ummah, a theocratic community governed by law and submission.Christianity proclaims the Kingdom of God, a reign of grace that begins in the heart and transforms the world.Through Scripture and history, we see how the cross reveals a kingship unlike any other — not built on conquest but compassion, not on law but love.Christ's throne is not of gold but of grace, and His kingdom will have no end.#LivingTheology #KingdomOfGod #ChristianApologetics #FaithAndReason #TheCrossAndTheThrone #ChristianityAndIslam #BiblicalTruth #DefendingTheFaith #TheologyPodcast #JesusIsLord #ChristianFaith #ChristianPodcast #GospelTruth #ChristReigns #TheologyOfTheKingdom #ChristianWorldview #GraceAndTruth #ChristianDoctrine #KingdomVsUmmah #ChristTheKing #BiblicalTheology #EternalKingdom

In this episode of Living Theology, we face the question at the heart of every faith conversation: Who is Jesus?Islam honours Him as a prophet — born of a virgin, miracle-working, righteous — yet denies His deity and crucifixion.Christianity proclaims Him as Lord, the eternal Word made flesh.Through Scripture, history, and logic, we examine why Jesus cannot be merely a messenger — why His words, actions, and resurrection prove His divine identity.From the Gospels to early Roman records, this episode unpacks the most important confession in history:Jesus Christ is Lord.#LivingTheology #JesusIsLord #ProphetOrLord #FaithAndReason #ChristianApologetics #HistoricalJesus #ChristianityAndIslam #Christology #GospelTruth #BiblicalTruth #DefendingTheFaith #ChristianPodcast #TheologyPodcast #JesusDivine #TheologyOfChrist #SonOfGod #WordMadeFlesh #ChristianFaith #ChristianTheology #JesusRevealed #ApologeticsAndFaith #ResurrectionTruth #Incarnation

In this episode of Living Theology, we explore the heart of the Christian faith: salvation by grace through faith.How does Christianity's message of grace differ from Islam's call to merit and submission?Can anyone truly know they are saved?Through Scripture, theology, and history, we uncover why the gospel offers not fear but assurance, not striving but rest — and how the cross reveals a God who saves by giving Himself.This episode dismantles the scales of performance and lifts the promise of divine grace — a gift that transforms the sinner into a child of God.#LivingTheology #SalvationByGrace #FaithAndReason #ChristianApologetics #GospelTruth #GraceNotWorks #ChristianityAndIslam #TheologyPodcast #DefendingTheFaith #JesusIsLord #ChristianFaith #BiblicalTruth #SavedByGrace #ChristianPodcast #TheologyOfGrace #ChristCrucified #ChristianDoctrine #GraceThroughFaith #GospelOfGrace #ChristianTheology #Redemption #ChristianityExplained

In this episode of Living Theology, we explore one of the most crucial questions in the Christian–Muslim dialogue:Has God's Word been preserved — and can we trust it?Through archaeology, manuscript evidence, and historical scholarship, we examine the reliability of the Bible and the claims of the Qur'an.From the Dead Sea Scrolls to the early New Testament papyri, the evidence overwhelmingly affirms that the Bible has been faithfully transmitted — its message unchanged for thousands of years.This episode contrasts the incarnational revelation of Scripture with the mechanical dictation of the Qur'an, revealing how God speaks not only in words but through history, flesh, and grace.#LivingTheology #ChristianApologetics #ReliabilityOfScripture #BibleAndQuran #FaithAndReason #BiblicalTruth #TheologyPodcast #DefendingTheFaith #ChristianityAndIslam #BibleManuscripts #HistoricalEvidence #ChristianPodcast #ApologeticsAndFaith #WordOfGod #ScriptureAndRevelation #TheologyOfScripture #GospelTruth #BibleHistory #ChristianTheology #GodsWordEndures

In this episode of Living Theology, we confront one of the greatest divides between Christianity and Islam — the question of the cross.The Qur'an declares that Jesus was not crucified, that it only appeared so.The Bible, history, and reason declare otherwise.Through Scripture, ancient testimony, and historical evidence from Roman, Jewish, and secular sources, we explore why the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the best-attested events in antiquity — and why it is essential to salvation itself.Discover how the cross reveals the justice, mercy, and love of God — not as defeat, but as divine victory.The cross is not a myth. It is the moment when eternity touched time, and grace rewrote human destiny.#LivingTheology #TheCrossAndTheCrescent #ChristianApologetics #HistoricalJesus #FaithAndReason #Crucifixion #Resurrection #BibleTruth #TheologyPodcast #DefendingTheFaith #ChristianityAndIslam #ChristCrucified #JesusIsLord #GospelTruth #BiblicalEvidence #HistoryOfChristianity #ChristianPodcast #Salvation #TheologyOfTheCross #JesusDiedAndRose #Christology #ChristianFaith #CrossAndResurrection

Is God a solitary being, eternally alone, as Islam teaches?Or is He one divine essence existing eternally in three Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — as revealed in Scripture?Join us as we explore the biblical, theological, and historical foundations of the Trinity, revealing that Christian monotheism is not divided but fulfilled in divine relationship.Through Scripture, reason, and early historical evidence, we uncover how God's oneness is not isolation but perfect love in eternal communion.This episode dismantles common misunderstandings between Christianity and Islam, showing that the God of the Bible is not distant, but near — not silent, but speaking — not alone, but love itself.“Before creation, God was not lonely. He was love.”

In this episode of Living Theology, we explore one of the most profound questions in human history: Who is Jesus of Nazareth?Was He merely a prophet or moral teacher — or truly God in human form?Through Scripture, historical analysis, and secular evidence, we journey through the biblical foundations and extra-biblical testimonies that affirm the divinity of Christ.From the Gospel of John to the letters of Paul, from Roman historians like Tacitus and Pliny to Jewish sources such as Josephus, the case unfolds that the earliest Christians worshipped Jesus as Lord — not centuries later, but from the very beginning.This is not mythology; it is history.It is theology meeting evidence, faith meeting reason — and humanity meeting its Creator.

In this episode of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker explores what happens when faith and technology meet in the sanctuary. Can artificial intelligence ever reflect the values of the Church, or does it risk replacing the human and spiritual heart of ministry? Drawing on theology, philosophy, and spiritual formation, Brendon invites us to ask deeper questions about discipleship, attention, and the work of the Holy Spirit in a digital age.With reflections on embodiment, presence, and grace, this episode challenges us to see beyond the algorithms and rediscover the Spirit who cannot be programmed — the living presence who forms, renews, and guides the people of God.Tune in for a fresh, accessible conversation that blends theology, technology, and everyday faith.#TheologyAndAI #DigitalChurch #ChristianEthics #TheologyOfTechnology #Pneumatology #AttentionEthics #FaithAndTechnology #DigitalDiscipleship #TheologicalAnthropology #AIethics #ChurchInTheDigitalAge #ImagoDei #brendonnaicker #theologyschool #livingtheology

The digital world isn't slowing down — but you can.In the final episode of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker offers a practical, grace-filled “Rule of Life” for believers seeking peace in an age of noise.This is your invitation to live slowly, love deeply, and walk wisely.

What does transformation look like in the digital age?In Episode 9 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker shares the true stories of families who traded noise for peace — and found Christ waiting in the stillness.Simple habits. Sacred rhythms. Real redemption.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”In Episode 8 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker explores how attention and stillness are not luxuries but necessities for the soul.This episode is a gentle call to slow down, breathe, and return to the presence of God — the One who still speaks in the silence.

In a world connected by Wi-Fi but divided by loneliness, the Church must become a village again.In Episode 7 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker shares how community, hospitality, and shared presence can heal the isolation of the digital age.This is a call to rebuild — not with bricks, but with belonging.

Our children are fluent in technology — but are they fluent in wisdom?In Episode 6 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker shares how parents and pastors can disciple “digital natives” in a world shaped by screens.This episode offers a biblical, hopeful vision for raising a generation that uses technology with discernment, grace, and love.

What if your home could become a sanctuary again?In Episode 5 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker shares how to build a Christ-centred home — one marked by peace, prayer, and presence.Through small, sacred rhythms, our homes can once again reflect the light of God in a noisy world.

In Episode 4 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker shares how believers can redeem their digital tools — using them not for vanity or distraction, but for truth, beauty, and grace.This is not about escaping technology; it's about reclaiming it under the Lordship of Christ.

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”This single declaration from John the Baptist captures the heart of the gospel. From Abraham's altar to the Passover in Egypt, from Isaiah's Suffering Servant to the cross of Christ, the image of the Lamb weaves through all of Scripture.In Jesus, the Lamb becomes both sacrifice and sovereign — the one who conquers not by force, but through self-giving love. The Lamb who was slain now reigns upon the throne, and His blood not only redeems humanity but restores creation itself.To behold the Lamb is to behold the very heart of God — holy love revealed through humble obedience, divine power expressed through sacrificial grace.

We no longer bow to statues — we bow to screens.In Episode 3 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker reflects on how convenience has replaced communion, and how Christians can reclaim worship in a culture that prizes control.This is not about abandoning technology — it's about restoring holiness to our habits.

What if attention is more than focus — what if it's love?In Episode 2 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker explores the sacred art of paying attention — to God, to one another, and to the moment right in front of us.We live in a distracted world, always scrolling, swiping, and hurrying. But God still speaks in whispers.This episode is an invitation to slow down and rediscover that stillness is not emptiness — it's encounter.

“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him.” — John 1:10 (ESV)The Creator walked among His creation — and the world failed to see Him.From Abraham's recognition under the oaks of Mamre, to Simeon and Anna's joy in the temple, Scripture reveals a tension between divine presence and human blindness.Christ's words before Pilate still echo today: “My kingdom is not of this world.”In an age of distraction and self-made kingdoms, do we truly recognize Him?He is still here. The Word still speaks. The Light still shines.Listen to the latest episode of Living Theology with Brendon Naicker —“The Unrecognized Creator” — a reflection on John 1:10 that explores the paradox of divine presence, spiritual perception, and modern recognition of Christ in the world He made.

Episode 1 — “When the Glow Took Over”There was a time when evenings were filled with laughter — until the glow of screens began to take their place.In this first episode, Brendon Naicker explores how technology is shaping the souls of our children and what it means to raise them to love God more than the glow.This is not about fear or rejection, but redemption and presence — a call for families and churches to reclaim attention, wonder, and worship in a distracted age.#LivingTheology#BrendonNaicker#ChristianPodcast#TheologyInLife#FaithAndCulture#ModernDiscipleship#TheologyOfPresence#BiblicalFormation#ChristianParenting#SpiritualFormation#WhenTheGlowTookOver#FaithInADigitalWorld#RaisingChildrenInFaith#DigitalDiscipleship#ChristOverCulture#TechWiseParenting#ChristianFamilies#ScreensAndSouls#FaithOverScreens#GodInTheOrdinary

Glory is not a distant light to be admired, but a divine fire shared.In Christ, humanity is not only forgiven but transformed — made radiant through the indwelling Spirit.The believer's journey is a passage “from glory to glory,” where holiness becomes beauty and faith becomes light.“The same glory that shone on Christ's face now shines within His people.”

Glory (doxa) and worship are not separate realities — they are the heartbeat of divine life.Glory is the radiance of God turned outward; worship is that radiance turned back toward its source.In Christ, the revelation of glory and the response of worship meet perfectly — the Son manifests the Father's splendour and returns it in obedient love, completing the eternal circle of glory.The Church, joined to Christ by the Spirit, now lives within this rhythm of revelation and response. Every act of adoration, every life surrendered in faith, becomes a participation in divine glory.Worship is not performance — it is participation; not self-expression, but self-offering.“We are not spectators of glory, but participants in the radiant exchange of divine love.”

In Christ, the story of creation's lost glory finds its restoration.He, the true Image and new Adam, gathers a Bride — the Church — and clothes her in splendour not her own. Her beauty is not borrowed but bestowed; her light not independent but reflected from the Lamb who loves her.The Church's glory is therefore cruciform — radiant through sacrifice, adorned through faithfulness, purified through grace. Her splendour is participation, not possession. For as Paul writes, “Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her… that He might present her to Himself in splendour.”Here, glory is restored: the divine presence once lost in Eden now dwelling within the redeemed community. Worship becomes transformation, and holiness becomes the reflection of divine beauty.“The Bride's glory is the light of her Bridegroom made visible in her.”

In this episode, we explore one of Scripture's most beautiful and misunderstood doctrines — that a woman's glory is derived, not diminished.Drawing from Genesis and Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 11, Brendon Naicker unfolds how glory in Scripture is never self-made but relational — flowing from God, through Christ, into creation.Using the imagery of a mirror turned toward the light, this reflection reveals that true glory is not autonomy but alignment; not independence, but communion.When creation stands rightly before its Creator, it shines.“Her radiance is not borrowed, nor is it lesser.It is reflective — the manifestation of divine order rightly aligned.”

Nigeria,we see you.Nigeria,we hear you.Nigeria,we remember you.You are not forgotten.We carry you in our hearts.Your suffering is our suffering.Your cross is our cross.Your faith is our rebuke.Your endurance is our witness.Your tears are our prayer.You are not alone.We are one in Christ.And to my listeners,the words I leave with you are simple:Do not forget them.#brendonnaicker #nigeria #persecution #Persecuted #theologyschool

We often choose mission fields the same way we choose comfort — we go where it feels familiar. Places that speak our language, share our culture, or already hold some Christian influence. Environments where we expect openness and reduced resistance. But Scripture reminds us that God often sends His people in the opposite direction — into places others avoid, into lands labelled dark, hostile, or unreachable.

Many Christians don't realise the danger of Sadhu Sundar Singh's teachings. His theology rejects biblical authority, embraces Hindu mysticism, denies eternal judgment, and replaces the gospel with spiritual deception. This is not Christianity—it's counterfeit spirituality. The Church must wake up and defend the truth.

There is a war against truth—and most Christians are asleep.The Sannyasi Mission doesn't attack Christianity from the outside. It infiltrates from within—using Christian language while preaching a false god, a false Christ, and a false gospel. This is not dialogue. It is deception. And if the Church does not return to biblical discernment and doctrinal clarity, many will be led astray.In this urgent episode of Living Theology, I expose the strategies and lies of the Sannyasi Mission and call Christian leaders to defend the faith without compromise.Truth is not negotiable—Christ is not optional—sound doctrine is not a luxury.#LivingTheology #SpiritualWarfare #FalseTeaching #ProtectTheFlock #GospelTruth #BiblicalDiscernment #SoundDoctrine #JesusIsLord #ChristianLeadership #ExposeTheDarkness #ContendForTheFaith #NoCompromise #SannyasiMission

This is not about clothing. This is about Christ's authority. This is not about opinion. This is about obedience. The question before us is simple: Will Christ rule His church—or will culture? Paul commands—Christ is Head. Let men worship like it. Let the head of every man be uncovered in honour to the Lord. Let the church return to biblical worship. Let reverence be restored in the house of God. And let the world see that there are still men who are not ashamed to submit to Jesus Christ.

Because the resurrection wasn't the end of the story—it was the beginning.And this—if you want it—can be your beginning too.#brendonnaicker

Brendon Naicker traces the forgotten language of the veil — from Genesis to Corinth, from the Church Fathers to the modern age — uncovering how the simple act of covering the head in worship reveals a profound theology of creation, gender, and divine order. Drawing on voices from Augustine and Tertullian to Aquinas, Calvin, Bonhoeffer, and Barth, this reflection shows that the covering is not about fabric but about glory; not about control but about reverence. Through Scripture, history, and prayer, Naicker invites the Church to recover a theology of embodied worship — where the body once again tells the truth of the soul and creation is seen as the visible grammar of divine grace. #LivingTheology #BrendonNaicker, #VeiledGlory, #TheologyOfWorship, #CreationOrder, #BiblicalTheology, #ChristianTradition, #HeadCovering, #EmbodiedFaith, #ChurchHistory, #PatristicWisdom, #ReformedTheology, #ApostolicTradition, #SpiritualFormation, #HolinessAndOrder

Today we enter a subject that has long been debated and often misunderstood — the question of women preaching. Some in our modern world assume the matter is settled: women are educated, gifted, Spirit-filled, and therefore should preach. But Scripture calls us to pause and look deeper. The real issue is not gifting, for all gifts come from the Spirit and He gives them freely to men and women alike. The true issue is authority — who is entrusted with the governing authority of preaching in the church.

The global spread of the NAR shows us again that unbiblical movements recycle under new labels, crossing borders and cultures with alarming speed. But it also reminds us of the urgent need for theological depth, for discipleship that roots believers in Scripture, and for churches that proclaim Christ rather than apostles. The answer to false apostles is not better apostles—it is the one true apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus Christ.Brothers and sisters, the church's mission is not to sell blessings, not to chase after new revelations, and not to seize cultural mountains. The mission is the same across Africa, Asia, South America, and every nation: to preach Christ and Him crucified. As Paul declared in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” That gospel is enough in wealth or in poverty, in health or in sickness, in peace or in persecution. #brendonnaicker #nar

History has shown us what happens when the church confuses its spiritual mission with political dominion. It breeds authoritarianism, compromises the gospel, and often ends in corruption. The true power of the church has never been in political influence but in faithful witness. The early Christians did not take over Rome by climbing seven mountains. They turned the world upside down by proclaiming Christ, loving their neighbors, and even laying down their lives as martyrs.Dominion Theology is attractive because it promises glory without suffering, victory without the cross, and power without humility. But Jesus told us plainly in Mark 8:34, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” The kingdom comes not through us conquering but through Christ reigning, and through His people bearing witness in weakness, in holiness, and in hope.So let us be clear: the church is not called to establish dominion over the world but to announce the dominion of Christ, who already reigns. He is seated at the right hand of the Father. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. Our task is not to build His throne but to proclaim His gospel until He returns.

What this shows us is that unbiblical movements recycle through church history under new names. The terminology may change—Latter Rain, Apostolic Reformation, prophetic movement—but the core errors remain the same: an undermining of the sufficiency of Scripture, an elevation of human leaders who claim new revelation, and a fixation on power and experience over the gospel of Christ crucified.Scripture warns us repeatedly about this pattern. Ecclesiastes says, “There is nothing new under the sun.” And Paul reminds Timothy that people will accumulate teachers to suit their own passions, wandering off into myths. Our responsibility as believers is not to chase after every so-called new move of the Spirit, but to test everything by the Word of God. As John commands in 1 John 4:1: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”The story of the Latter Rain and its modern revival in the NAR teaches us a sobering lesson: whenever the church neglects the sufficiency of Scripture and the finality of Christ's work, we open the door for counterfeit authority and recycled heresy. But the good news is this: Christ remains the cornerstone. The Word of God remains the foundation. And the gospel remains the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

So can Christians be demon-possessed? No. They are sealed by the Spirit, purchased by the blood, and kept by the power of Christ. Can Christians be influenced? Yes, and Scripture calls us to be sober-minded, to resist, and to stand firm.The task of the church is to comfort believers with the truth of their security in Christ, and to equip them to recognize and resist the schemes of the enemy. The devil is real, but he is defeated. He still roars, but he roars as one declawed by the cross. And nothing—neither angels nor rulers, nor powers, nor anything in all creation—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When examined carefully, then, the doctrine of territorial spirits proves to be unbiblical in origin, flawed in theology, and misleading in practice. It exaggerates the reality of demonic power while diminishing the sufficiency of Christ's triumph. It burdens believers with strategies God never commanded, while distracting them from the simplicity of the gospel and the ordinary means of grace—Word, sacrament, prayer, and fellowship.The church does indeed live in the midst of spiritual conflict. But our hope is not in mapping demonic territories or staging spiritual offensives. Our hope is in Jesus Christ, who has already triumphed, who reigns at the right hand of the Father, and who will return to make all things new. In the meantime, we are called not to chase after territorial spirits but to proclaim the gospel, love our neighbors, and stand firm in the armor of God.

The New Apostolic Reformation, we must conclude that its history is rooted not in the apostolic witness of Scripture but in a modern reimagining of authority. Its theology distorts the kingdom into a project of human conquest. Its proponents promote experiences over truth, and its practice undermines the very freedom of the gospel. The church is called not to chase after new apostles and prophets, but to remain steadfast in “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.”As Christians, our task is not to seize the mountains of cultural dominion but to take up the cross and follow Christ in humility, holiness, and hope. True reform is not found in self-proclaimed apostles but in a faithful return to God's Word, where the voice of the Good Shepherd still speaks with final authority.

Friends, the way back is not to make the church more like the world, but to let the church be the church again. We need to recover the worship of the early church — worship that is saturated with Scripture, centred on Christ, filled with the Spirit, and directed to the glory of God alone. That means singing songs rich in biblical truth, not just catchy melodies. Preaching sermons that open the Bible, expose its meaning, and apply it without fear. Praying prayers that confess sin, plead for the lost, and ask God to make us holy. And gathering as participants, not spectators. Worship is not a performance we attend; it is a holy encounter we enter.

From the starlit call of Abraham to the thunder at Sinai, God doesn't abandon His people—He binds Himself to them. In this episode, we trace the golden thread of covenant through Genesis and Exodus, revealing a God who makes promises not just with words, but with presence, sacrifice, and fire. Discover how salvation begins not with escape, but with relationship.

Exploring the Garden, the Serpent, and the Seed of Redemption

What happens when theology mirrors culture more than it reflects Scripture?In this work, I critically examine how contextual theology, though essential for global Christian witness, becomes dangerous when it elevates experience, politics, or ideology above the authority of the Word. From the Prosperity Gospel in Africa to moral drift in the UK, I argue for a contextual theology that is rooted in Scripture and led by the Spirit.
