A wide-ranging discussion on what on earth is this thing we call 'church'? How it began and where has it got to. What was the reason for church buildings? Why do we meet together? What is the point of a local church? How many Christians in your local church? Where should folk find God - in Church or in the world? What's the point of mega-Churches? What about home groups? When is Church really 'church'? Is on-line Church relevant? Will the Church go underground? Why is there trouble at the top of the Church of England? Do we need leaders? What is the relationship between the Church and the World? How did Justin Welby fall from grace? Is the Church fundamental or radical?

We are joined here by Paul Smith, leader of 'Prayer for Israel' in the UK. We hear of his background, as well as the history and objectives of his ministry in these difficult times. How to deal with the false information propagated by social media and how do we get the truth out? Why doesn't the Church in the UK by and large 'get' Israel? Is there any hope?

We examine the contrast between the Greek and the Hebraic mindsets and ask (and hopefully answer) the following questions: Are we Hebraic and what is it? How did Greek thinking dominate our culture? What was the Enlightenment and what affect did it have on Darwin and H G Wells? Is there a conflict between God and Science? Does the Church have a problem in believing? Where does our wisdom come from? How can two people be right when they disagree with each other? Why do we argue and hate so much? What's wrong with politics and why is is so polarised? Can we tell lies? What is the greater good? When does doctrine get in the way? Are we kind enough? Are we teachable? What is a Greek Christian?

We look not just at our choices, but also heroes who become villains and vice versa. In no particular order: Jonny Rotten, Freddie Flintoff, Jimmy Saville, Eric Liddell, Andrew Tate, Daley Thompson, Huw Edwardes, Geoffrey Boycott, Jonathan Aitken, Gary Lineker, Dick Dastardly, Mick McManus, Rolf Harris, Bill Beaumont, NAR 'prophets', Lady Jane Grey, 9-11 firemen, Benny Hinn and 'influencers'. We also ask this question, 'are evil people redeemable?'

What is going on in our streets today and everywhere else, when you come to think of it? Where is our country going? Have we lost the sense of our national identity? How do you feel when groups that have no connection to you take over the streets of our towns and cities in endless marches? Why do the so called 'peace' demonstrators rejoice in declaring 'nazi scum off our streets' when often the object of their wrath are ordinary patriotic British people of all races and colours? We have seen the symptoms of the growing unrest in our country, but what is the actual cause and what can we do about it? What is the reaction of the Church? How do we define our identity or does the whole thing confuse? We discuss all of these things and more in this open and far-reaching episode.

Things that make us go ... wow! In this revealing episode the team (quite rightly) start with their wives and then cover such objects of wonder as ... the milky way, Orion, the Northern Lights, Grand Canyon, waves off the Brittany coast, Jerusalem, fresh new bed sheets, the smell of coffee / grass / bread, the moon landing, eclipses, the Lake District and much much more ...

What is jargon? Is it useful? When is it a pain? Looking at origins and usages. What about Church jargon? Does it do more to hinder? Can Christians use the 'F' word? Also looking at deconstructionalism and the language of progressive Christianity.

Speaking with some expertise in this subject the team ask the following questions: Are Jews a litmus test for our culture? Can we blame the Jews for everything? How did Hamas rekindle antisemitism and why was the reaction from the World so frightening? Why did everything change on October 7th? What is the root of antisemitism and why have Christians been among the worst perpetrators of it? Did George Orwell prophecy what we see with the pro-Palestinian demos? Do the students realise what they are doing? Is hatred the enemy of truth? This is a lively but very informative discussion.
