  • CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE - Dr Peter Hammond - Sanctity of Life Sunday: Abortion, Faith & the March for Life in South Africa
    As South Africa approaches Sanctity of Life Sunday and the anniversary of the legalization of abortion on 1 February, Dr Peter Hammond joins the program to deliver a powerful Christian perspective on the sanctity of human life.

    Dr Hammond, founder of Frontline Fellowship, African Christian Action, The Reformation Society, and William Carey Bible Institute, reflects on the devastating impact of abortion in South Africa, with over six million unborn lives lost since 1997. He calls on churches, pastors, and believers to stand in the gap, speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, and take a public stand for life.

    The conversation highlights the biblical foundation for defending life, the significance of Sanctity of Life Sunday, and details of the annual March for Life to Parliament in Cape Town, including the prayer vigil and national call to repentance. Dr Hammond also shares practical resources available for churches, youth groups, and families to engage meaningfully on the pro-life message.

    This episode challenges listeners to combine faith, compassion, and action, reminding us that loving our neighbour includes defending the unborn.

  • CHRISTELIKE PERSPEKTIEF - Jannie Pelser - ‘Ag Here!’ – ’n Geloofsperspektief op Nuus, Leierskap en God se Heiligheid
    In hierdie diepgaande episode deel ons ’n eerlike geloofsperspektief op die nuus, persoonlikheidstipes en die geestelike impak van ’n wêreld vol onreg en leierskapkrisisse. Wat maak ’n mens wanneer die nuus oorweldigend raak en die enigste gebed is: “Ag Here… help!”

    Ons reflekteer oor verrassings, persoonlikheid, en hoe dit ons reaksies vorm. Vanuit Bybelse verhale soos Hannah en Samuel, en die waarskuwende voorbeeld van Eli se seuns, word luisteraars herinner dat God nie ’n speelmaat is nie, maar heilig.

    Hierdie episode nooi jou uit om stil te raak, jou hart eerlik voor God te bring, en weer met erns oor geloof, verantwoordelikheid en geestelike integriteit te dink — veral in Suid-Afrika se konteks vandag.
