EPISODE RELEASED EARLY BEFORE ELECTION!

Church and politics is a risky subject. But today we're going there with the SPD's fearless legal representative Igor Radonjic. With an Australian election right around the corner, what principles should Christians think through before casting their vote? What is the landscape of religious freedom in Australia and the South Pacific? And how can we practice Christian principles in the ballot box? This is one conversation you don't want to miss. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm and Friday mornings podcast.p

Covid-19 changed a great many things—including how we think about illnesses and pandemics in general. Zombie movies hit different post-Covid and the upcoming film 28 Years Later explores a world irrevocably shaped by its own pandemic.

Join us in talking to Mark Hadley about his recent article Pandemics and the problem of pain. We talk about the movie but more interestingly, we talk about the issue that has plagued believers for centuries. What do we do with pain and how can Christians believe in a good God who allows it?

Dr. Stéphane Beaulieu is the Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at Burman University. In this conversation he shares his remarkable journey from working as a truck driver and high school dropout in Québec to achieving his doctoral degree. He recounts how his conversion to Adventism in his late teens sparked a passion for learning, leading him to pursue pastoral ministry. Now leading the only Adventist religious studies department in Canada, Stéphane discusses the unique vision of Canadian Adventist education, emphasizing contextual ministry, mentorship, and practical experience. He addresses the complexities of training pastors in a secular accreditation environment, the integration of theory and practice, and the challenges of attracting young people to ministry in an era marked by cultural shifts and perceived decline in church relevance. Candid and thoughtful, Stéphane offers a hopeful yet realistic look at the future of church leadership and theology training in Canada.

Frank Paine shares his journey from a devastating pornography addiction and legalism to finding freedom through understanding his identity in Christ. After years of smashing laptops, crying in closets, and feeling condemned, Frank discovered that true freedom comes not from trying harder but from embracing who God says he is.

• Grew up with minimal religious background but felt drawn to God from childhood
• Struggled with pornography addiction for over a decade
• Experienced crushing shame and believed God was punishing him for his failures
• Tried various solutions including Celebrate Recovery, Pentecostal and Adventist churches
• Battled legalism that made him believe his salvation depended on his behavior
• Discovered Love Reality Bible Studies in 2022, which transformed his understanding
• Learned that his identity is rooted in Christ, not in his behavior
• Found freedom by believing what God says about him rather than identifying with his sin
• Began working with a life coach who helped him apply gospel truth to daily living
• Now ministers to others struggling with similar issues

If you're trapped in cycles of shame and addiction, stop identifying with what you're doing and start identifying with what God's Word says about you in spite of what you're doing. The freedom you seek comes from believing the truth about your identity in Christ.
