In this first episode of the new year, we look at a number of issues in the news including the King’s Christmas message, the London fireworks, plans to abolish trial by jury in ‘swift courts’, the new chickenpox vaccine and the rise of Islam. We begin and end the episode with a call to live by ‘faith over fear’, with biblical realism and the hope of Christ and his return. We finish with reading the ‘song of Simeon’ from Luke 2:29-32.

In this episode we catch up on a few recent news events, and then focus in on the proposals for Digital ID in the UK. We consider the potential scope of a digital system, the danger it poses, the global agenda behind Digital ID and the biblical principles it raises. We read from Revelation 13:15-18 and end with John 8:31-32 and the reminder that the truth Jesus brings will set us free.

In this episode we focus on the assassination of the gifted Christian apologist Charlie Kirk. We consider the significance of Charlie's murder, reactions to it, and the spiritual battle we face. We also discuss the 'Unite the Kingdom' rally in London and the Christian response to these events. We finish with reading from Romans 12 where we are told to hate what is evil and cling to what is good. (apologies if the audio is slightly out, this is beyond our control)
