What do we mean when we use the word 'race'? How can the church encourage unity and welcome for all? What was going on with the Tower of Babel?

In this episode, we explore the amazing theology of race and ethnicity and discuss how the Bible speaks to our understanding of a global church made in God's image. No matter what our culture and ethnicity, Jesus affirms the uniqueness of our race, language and who we are.

We're joined by Rev Dr Israel Olofinjana (Director of the One People Commission of the Evangelical Alliance), Efrem Buckle (Deputy CEO and Director of Training and Mentoring at London City Mission, and Ruth Naomi Floyd (Jazz vocalist and composer) all of whom will be at Keswick Convention 2023 in the summer.

What is imagination? To what extent does our imagination vary? How does imagination impact our creativity and why is this so important to being human?

Whether you see yourself as a great artist or you've never picked up a paintbrush, this episode is worth a listen! We delve into how our God is a creative God but how our creativity also makes us unique as human beings. Whatever your calling, you will use imagination and creativity in your everyday.

We're excited to be joined by some creative guests for this episode including Ted Turnau (Chair of Journalism and Media Studies at Anglo-American University Prague), Ruth Naomi Floyd (Jazz vocalist and composer), and Efrem Buckle (Deputy CEO and Director of Training and Mentoring at London City Mission).

Work hard or play hard? We all at times wrestle with the purpose of our time, work, relationships and life. As Christians, we know that the Bible should answer these questions for us, but this isn't always easy to apply to our own lives.

In this episode, we delve into this big topic on the theme of Human, exploring what God tells us about our purpose as we are made in his image, and as we live out our faith in every aspect of our life.

We speak with Sam Allberry (pastor, apologist, author), John Wyatt (Professor of Ethics and Perinatology at University College London and University College London), and Andy Robinson (Training Director for South Central Gospel Partnership) ahead of Keswick Convention 2023.
