Hear our voice unwavering! We’re talking about defeating the night but not with songs - with the truth of the gospel. Netflix movie Kpop Demon Hunters presents some deep themes: from sin and shame, to demons and damnation. We unpack all this along with our favourite songs and moments from the film (plus! a quick reflection on the Bluey episode “Fairies”).

BECKY LUI and her family live with 300 university students in the residential college where she works. As a ministry wife and mother to 3 sons she is incredibly blessed to share life deeply with many, many people, even if she is an introvert (although this is disputed) and always loves a tangential conversation that leads to Jesus.ZHIEN-U BAKARICH turned her curiosity into a career by studying a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Social Inquiry, followed by a Masters in Journalism. She now works for a Christian non-profit while raising two curious daughters alongside her husband.

Bigumbal and Kamilaroi man and leader of the Wesleyan Methodist church of Australia, Dr Rev Rex Rigby, helps us think Christianly about the upcoming referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. What part does an earthly government play in indigenous wellbeing? What should we be looking to Parliament for, in comparison to our ultimate ruler - God? And how should Christians discuss this topic in the lead up to the referendum?

BECKY LUI was adopted into God's family sometime in 2004 when she met the real Jesus by reading the Bible with the University Christian group while studying Commerce/Law. She married Phil and managed to squeeze in a Bachelor of Theology before having three sons.

ZHIEN-U BAKARICH turned her curiosity into a degree by studying a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Social Inquiry, followed by a Masters in Journalism. She now absorbs the curiosity of her two small daughters and works part time for a Christian charity.

This episode takes a bit of a different tack as we chat through a few quick things including online shopping (what are your household rules around spending?), vaccine hesitancy (with no shouting!), and learning from home (without despairing). As always we turn to the Bible for wisdom and encouragement.

Our first ever guest Kitty Chan, who has never been married, joins Becky and I in untangling the lies and truth about being ‘never married’.

Have you experienced the “Christmas paradox” - the feelings of joy, excitement, anticipation of Christmas meeting stress, dread, angst from all the things Christmas entails? Becky and I discuss a Biblical way of navigating the ‘silly season’ and the things that stress us out. Should we do Santa? Are we obliged to run around visiting everyone? What if you’ve partied too hard at the office party?
