Audio of a talk given by Dr Krish Kandiah OBE on the subject of the Christian faith and Social Justice in the IPU Room, Westminster Hall on Monday 31 March 2025

The ARC conference in London saw thousands of conservative influencers and politicians networking with like-minded Christians. Is it further evidence that the 'surprising rebirth' is right wing? In part 2 of the show, Justin Brierley continues to explore the question of whether the new interest in Christianity is being co-opted for political purposes. Journalist Heather Tomlinson, writer Paul Kingsnorth and podcast host Elizabeth Oldfield all offer their perspective on whether the rebirth is right wing. Justin also profiles left-wing influencers embracing Christianity and hears from Rasool Berry, Krish Kandiah, Chris Watkin and NT Wright on how Christians should engage politics. Former far-right activist Theo Wilmot also shares his own story of 'Surprising Rebirth'.

You may have seen us talking about our brand new podcast Just Neighbors. Well today, we're sharing one of those conversations right here on The Forgotten Podcast! This was such a powerful episode, with challenging and honest takeaways for those who follow Christ in our complex world. Just Neighbors is a podcast for every believer who desires to live as Jesus lived – to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God and neighbor. My co-host, Ryan MacDonald, and I are joined by Dr. Krish Kandiah for this conversation about how to combine word and deed to provide belonging for our neighbors. Krish is the founder of The Sanctuary Foundation, a charity supporting refugees to find welcome, work, and worthwhile housing in the UK. His mission is to help solve some of society's seemingly intractable problems through partnerships across civil society, faith communities, government, and philanthropy. In this episode, Krish helps us understand the important work they are doing, the largest challenges he sees for people who are removed from their homes, and how Christ followers should respond to the complex conflicts happening across our world. Beyond that, he guides us in seeing that displacement is happening all around us, as children are placed in foster care, people move to a new city for their jobs, and people feel like they don't belong.

The founder and director of the Sanctuary Foundation, Krish Kandiah, talks about the importance of welcoming refugees into our communities. He describes the work of the Sanctuary Foundation and shares his own personal experience of opening his home and welcoming refugees to live with his family. Despite what the negative headlines might suggest, the British public has demonstrated great warmth and generosity, opening their homes to complete strangers who seek refuge from war and conflict in Ukraine and elsewhere. The pendulum of public attitudes is moving in the right direction and there's much we can do to build on this momentum.

Join us on Unbelievable presented by Ruth Jackson as we delve into the extraordinary life and work of the late Dr. Timothy J. Keller, a humble yet ambitious church leader who shaped faith in the modern world. Tim Keller's impact extends far beyond his time, as he fearlessly explored the intricate relationship between faith and culture. With City to City, and other nonprofit organisations he spearheaded, and as the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan alongside his wife Kathy, Keller seamlessly integrated ancient wisdom into the fabric of the modern city. With his quiet confidence and lack of defensiveness, he made faith thrilling and relevant, captivating hearts with timeless truths. As he neared the end of his journey, Keller taught us about death and dying well. He also shared invaluable advice from the book of Jeremiah: to live on the razor's edge, embrace audacious faith; invest rather than simply consume, leaving a lasting impact on others; and let go of the pursuit of reputation, recognising the fleeting nature of worldly acclaim. Unbelievable? discusses the life of Tim Keller, his style and impact, the question of suffering, how he refused to be drawn in but navigated the culture wars, and the wisdom he leaves through his many books. Unbelievable? show host Ruth Jackson is joined by three guests who knew and worked with Keller. Lecrae, Grammy award-winning hip-hop artist and actor; Dr. Krish Kandiah, author and social activist; and Pete Wehner, journalist and senior fellow at Trinity Forum all offer candid insights into the profound ways Keller impacted their lives both personally and through his extensive body of work. As always let us know what you think! We love to hear from you so get in touch if you have stories to share. And enjoy this edition of Unbelievable as we honour Tim Keller life and legacy and the far-reaching influence of his ministry. • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate

A prince who was lost for words A sister who worried far too much A brother who walked differently through the world A girl who had to be seen to be believed Join Krish and Miriam Kandiah on another adventure through 10 retellings of stories from the Bible! While many people with disabilities, differences and disadvantages are often under-valued in our society, under-acknowledged in history and under-represented, Krish and Miriam Kandiah team up again to show how God gives people with disabilities a special mention, special honour and very special jobs. Sometimes we can focus on the stories of miraculous healing in the Bible, but this can make people with disabilities and differences feel like they have nothing to offer the world. But Krish and Miriam introduce us to people in the Bible of all shapes and sizes who go on incredible adventures with God! It's time to remember all the characters in the Bible who do amazing world-changing things—especially those who dare to be different.

Lindsay Hadley and Elli Oswald of Orphan Myth dispel each of the myths around the global orphan crisis—and they share how we can help be part of the solution.  Krish Kandiah talks about having a heart for the orphans.

Patrick Lencioni joins Dr. Krish Kandiah for a conversation about his work as an author, speaker, consultant, and founder of The Table Group. Patrick shares about his quick success in life and how it quickly taught him that these things he was chasing didn't actually matter. He realized that the worldly success he wanted was a reflection of a broken view of leadership he held; instead of being a leader to meet a need, he was driven by the desire to be seen as important. Thankfully, he recalls, God got a hold of him and showed him that pride was getting in the way of becoming the leader he was made to be. Patrick discusses the importance of leaders serving those around them and not just waiting for retirement to become philanthropic or charitable. Patrick often has to remind executives that they will have more impact on their employees and their spouses and families than almost anyone else, so to impact in this world, they should start there. We hope Patrick's energy leaves you excited and inspired as you lead where God has placed you.

Dr. Krish Kandiah has the pleasure of interviewing New Testament Scholar and Bishop Tom Wright this week. They recorded this in the spring of 2020, a few months into the lockdown, shortly after Tom released his book God and the Pandemic. Tom unpacks some of the concepts from there, but then they also journey through a collection of other topics from Tom's start in leadership, to Paul and Timothy's styles of leading, why leaders should read intellectual works, and how we can process suffering in light of the global moment of COVID-19. Tom dives deeper into how Paul was unique in that he was incredibly gifted in multiple ways and was an intersection of special traits that positioned him perfectly for the tasks Jesus gave him. He was a Roman citizen, fluent in Greek and Hebrew, culturally astute to both the broader society and also Judaism. Paul was also incredibly smart, driven as a leader, and capable of developing others different from him like Timothy. There's a lot we can learn from the leadership of Paul and Tom gives brilliant insight to this. We hope you enjoy this rich and powerful discussion with Tom Wright.

Sheila Heen, a senior lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School, joins Dr. Krish Kandiah to discuss her work in negotiations and conflict management and what leaders can take from her years of experience. When she started at Harvard Law School, Roger Fisher, famous for the Harvard Negotiation Project, took her under his wing and quickly immersed her into the world of negotiations and psychology. Her experience brought her to a vast need in politics, business, charities, and families: how to resolve conflicts. This led to her writing Difficult Conversations, which was named one of the 50 most important books of psychology. Sheila explains to Krish that her work shows that people skills, critical to negotiations, is an essential leadership skill. Whether you need insights on challenges at work or bringing unity at home, Sheila Heen is sure to equip you in this conversation.

Dr. Krish Kandiah is joined by Kevin Olusola, a member of the chart topping acapella group Pentatonix, to hear his story of life, music, and faith intersecting. Known for his “cello boxing” (playing the cello while beatboxing), he rose to fame as Pentatonix won the TV show The Sing Off and later became known for viral YouTube covers and fresh remakes of Christmas classics. Kevin openly shares about what it is like to be a Christian in the music industry. What encourages him is the opportunity to be a light in dark places, which both the music industry and living in LA can feel like as a Christian. This mission is what helped inspire him to start Imagine LA, a community focused on bringing justice to cycles of family poverty and homelessness. If you want to be inspired and encouraged to embrace God's mission with whatever opportunities He lays before you, check out this conversation with Kevin Olusola!

Paula opens up with Krish about the toll her career took on her, ultimately leading to her stepping back from the roles after a tragic chain of events in 2018 where she experienced multiple health issues. In reflection, Paula explains that what she didn't realize until that moment, was that her career had slowly become her calling. Her identity and value became wrapped up in her career success and it led her towards overworking, compromising her Christian values, and neglecting the relationships with those she most loved. Paula tells Krish how it can be so easy for what happened to her to be the same experience for many leaders and people who are passionate about their work. We hope Paula's story helps you consider what the differences may be between your calling and career and how having a healthy perspective on those will help you love God and love others more.

Andrew Morley, President and CEO of World Vision International, sits down with Dr. Krish Kandiah in this episode to share about his life, leadership and faith journey. Before joining the team at World Vision, Andrew worked for brands such as Google, Motorola, Sky Television, Harrods Group, Ford and Clear Channel UK. He is also currently an ordained minister curate at HTB Church in London where he serves on Sundays. Over his career, Andrew has worked in numerous organisations and shares with listeners how he would make decisions on whether to stay or to go. He jokes that if he ever wrote a book, it would be on this idea of L.E.G.O. — love, experience, gifts, opportunities — a helpful framework that can guide people into their next season and calling. World Vision was attractive to Andrew because of their Christ-centeredness, empowerment of local leaders, and global scale. He desires to continue World Vision's great work to see children, families and communities empowered to overcome poverty and injustice around the world. This episode will certainly encourage and inspire you as you think about the ways God might be shaping you and your future for incredible impact in the marketplace, ministry or non-profit sector.
