Daniel French and Brandon LeTourneau host a weekly show on the basics of faithful Christianity alongside the hot button topics of the day. Expect lots on how we resist the emerging "brave new world" and remain true to Jesus, the Bible, the creeds and become ark builders in a time of cancel culture.
Rev Daniel explores the core idea of Christianity that the problems of the world run through each of us, that we share responsibility and are never immune from the troubles and sins of the world. The System may be bad but unless we sincerely examine our hearts and repent we will never know the Kingdom of God.

Worry More About the Eye of God than Surveillance Systems
Rev Daniel French continues his series Awake for Lent with episode 4, where he reflects that though it is right to be worried about the power of survelliance today the Christian should be more focused on the Divine survelliance. It is the gaze of God upon each of us which should concern us. For all our faults God sees us as gloriously made, where as the System sees as a product or a number on a spreadsheet.

The System Isn't Broken

Only Christianity stands in the way of the Brave New World
Rev Daniel French continues on his series, Awake to Lent. In this short talk he argues that to combat the new world order before us we are going to have to re-learn the old ways of inhabiting the Christian faith. Many are now seeing that only Christianity stands in the way of a Brave New World. To understand why this is the case we need to go back to the basics of the faith and why Jesus came to save us.
