The Birth of Charity
In this episode, John Dickson gives us an insight into the invention of charity, and just how revolutionary the Christian call to love one another proved for the ancient world.
With all due Respect
Less aggro, more conversation. Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it. There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.

Christmas: Home and Away
It’s Christmas time and for many of us, it represents an annual pilgrimage back home to celebrate the season. But is Christmas about being at home or away? Michael and Megan wonder together what we should be doing to celebrate this time of wonder.
