Escaping from the web of lies – Podcast 120
I find it hard to believe almost anything put out by the mainstream media today – at least on anything of substance. Covid exposed the fact that the govt and the media will routinely lie. In this podcast we look at some recent examples, and ask – how do we break free? Alternatively, you can…

How can they STILL think they’re the good guys? – Podcast 119
Our elites seem to have an unshakable belief in their moral righteousness. How can this be the case, if an independent observer would judge that we don’t even keep our own standards? In this podcast we look at why the elites cannot see their own failings. Alternatively check out the audio podcast. Links

Should Christians support Israel?
One of the things I find most difficult about modern politics is the question of Israel. Should I, as a Christian, support Israel or not? Should I support Palestine or not? I think a lot of Christians have the idea that all Christians should support Israel unconditionally – or at least, should mostly support Israel.…

Love your neighbour, hate your enemy? – Podcast 118

In this podcast we look at the way that the Western elites pursue war. How did we with the Augustinian tradition of Just War end up in this situation? How should we think about it and react to it? Alternatively check out the audio podcast. Links Book Review The Toxic War on Masculinity by Nancy…

Reclaiming compassion from the progressives – Podcast 115
So much of the ‘progressive’ worldview now is seen as taking the moral high ground and the path of compassion. But is it really compassion? And why does it matter? Links

Men, women and the power of lies – Podcast #114
In this session we think about simply ‘telling an untruth’, but have a power behind them. Lies have the power to enslave us. In our society today, I argue that the biggest lie is the destruction of our masculinity and femininity, and think about what we can do about it. Links

Some thoughts on accountability
I recently mentioned that I was changing the organisation that I use for people to give financially to support me. One of the things I said in that post was that for various reasons I don’t have a formal accountability structure for what I do. One of my friends got in touch with me and…

Website: new look!
I have redesigned my website – which I’m sure the observant among you will notice. (If you are, indeed, reading this on my website). I felt that the previous design had become more than a little stale. Not to mention it felt amateurish – which is not surprising, given that it was designed by Yours…
