The Last Farewell – The Long Interview with Bill Whiteford

This is my farewell gift to Scotland! – An interview broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland this morning at 8:30. It’s called the long interview because having 30 minutes to discuss on radio is unusual. I found Bill Whiteford to be one of the best interviewers I have ever faced – probing and challenging without being rude and aggressive. We discussed a range of subjects, the … Continue reading The Last Farewell – The Long Interview with Bill Whiteford

This is a somewhat different interview – the Free Church has started a new podcast called Generation. (you can subscribe to it on Itunes) In this one, the ‘mischievous’ David Meredith, who knows me all, questions/interrogates me about moving to Australia and working with City Bible Forum. We discuss working with the elites/poor, parachurch ministries, why go to Australia? Differences between Australian, American and … Continue reading Generation Podcast – Para Church Ministries, Evangelism with the Elites/Poor? Why Australia?

I am in the Netherlands this weekend – saying goodbye to some dear friends and looking forward to worshipping in Dutch today. Last Sunday we continued our series in Romans. Two very different services – in the morning we looked at the role of the Church in politics – the relationship of Church and State (it’s not as dull as it sounds!) from Romans 13:1-7 … Continue reading Romans 13:1-7 – Church and State.

Quantum of Hope 42 – An Apology and a Change; Entertainment; Politics; Religious Freedom; Christian Humanism; Education; Poverty; Leonard Cohen

This week’s Quantum marks a change in how we do things. We will continue to look at what is going on in the world; the good, the bad and the ugly – but there is a danger that just pointing things out can leave one with a sense of despair and turn into a kind of rant about how we are all doomed! I don’t … Continue reading Quantum of Hope 42 – An Apology and a Change; Entertainment; Politics; Religious Freedom; Christian Humanism; Education; Poverty; Leonard Cohen
