If you are at all familiar with the versatile landscape that Christians in the UK have to tread you would have knowingly or unknowingly come into contact with Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre. 

On this episode of the Anvil & Hammer I am joined by Michael Phillips the lawyer of our friend Christian Hacking and a member of the Christian Legal Centre who describes what you should do if you were to find yourself or someone you love being persecuted for their Christian convictions. 

Michael speaks about some of his cases alongside noteworthy ones that he and the Christian Legal Centre did not represent such as a former police officer who was investigated by police over alleged transphobic comments. 

Michael answer question like: Does the UK have free speech? How should we share the gospel in the public arena? 

We even get into shadow banning and anti-Christian social media bias. 

Grab an Italian percolated, Sumatra medium roast coffee, sit back and focus. It is about to get real. It’s hammer time.

Imagine if a restaurant chain were to suddenly run an advertising campaign that went something like this:

This restaurant could claim that it ministers to people. Certainly welcoming families is an element of their business, but the reality is that they want you to come in and buy their products, which in this case is their food. So, if they are in the business of selling food, why are they asking for donations?  

On this episode of the Anvil & Hammer Podcast, I talk about my concerns with the practices of many parachurch organisations, YouTube trend leaching, and a future video based on our most popular video that atheists seem to love (they don't really).

I'm not against purchasing products from Christian organisations. In fact, I encourage Christians to support groups that are pumping out great content (see all the people we have interviewed on this podcast). My point is mainly that one cannot be funded by donations and paid products/services without there being a fundamental change in the expenditure, approach and running of the organisation.

Listen in to see what I think. What are your thoughts?

The aim of The Armoury Bible Game is to equip players with Bible knowledge through working together and putting on The Armour of God to battle sin! 

The Christian animation series Micah’s Super Vlog has covered this very theme. We had the privilege of interviewing Girish Manuel, the creator of this amazing series, to talk about the creative process and aim of the show.

We encountered some technical issues and had to record a second interview. This was relevant as we speak about putting our best foot forward when serving our King with creative material. 

I hope this episode will encourage you to make something great with the gifts God has given you, no matter how small.
