Episode 6: Culture in Historical Context II
Dr Stephen Chavura argues that cultural Marxism and the therapeutic ideology have infiltrated society via the universities and mainstream culture, reshaping notions of sexuality, gender and family. He contends that public policy now prioritises feeling good and safety over truth and religious liberty, producing laws incompatible with a biblical anthropology and mounting threats to Christian freedom.
Episode 4: What Is Lobbying And Why Is It Important?
Joshua Rowe challenges common caricatures of lobbying, arguing it’s neither purely transactional nor ethically hollow. Drawing on academic research, he highlights three modes of influence — money, persuasion, and grassroots mobilisation — and offers a biblical model via Joseph in Egypt. He invites Christians to engage purposefully in advocacy and public life.
Episode 3: Key Battlegrounds for the Church
Rev Mark Powell outlines the crucial battlegrounds currently facing the church, arguing Australia’s foundational rites — birth, puberty, marriage and death — have been radically reshaped. He identifies four key fronts: the “woke” worldview, coercive conversion-therapy laws, the erosion of religious freedom, and growing state paternalism. Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, he reminds believers that Jesus stands with them in the fight to honour God rather than conform to culture.
Episode 8: How Should Churches Respond?
Ps Paul “PJ” Bedwell highlights the creeping compromise of too many churches who are placing higher value in the preaching and teaching on the “research” papers coming from corrupted academia than on God’s reliable and unchanging Word, and reiterates Christ’s command to disciple nations rather than be conformed this world’s cultures.
