James and Ellen White were formidable leaders, prolific writers, expert organisers and tireless workers. They led the Adventist church through its early foundations, expansion and growth but during this time they were husband and wife, parents, mother and father to four boys. Their marriage experienced more hard ship than many others but through it all they persevered and prospered and there are many lessons that we can learn from them. Join us as Chantal Kilngbeil from the White Estate shares from her extension knowledge of the White family and may you be encouraged and inspired.

For many music is an integral part of their spiritual lives and their worship experience. It is a key way that they connect with God individually, however this was not always common practice for Christians. Join us for this fascinating podcast with Dr. Erwin Nanasi as he goes through the history that music played in the reformation and then expounds on how music and hymn writing has progressed in Seventh-day Adventist history. Dr. Nanasi speaks with a passion about this important subject as he charts the role of music in religious history.

Following the resurrection of Jesus, He would spend another 40 days on Earth with His disciples, giving them counsel and instructions that would form the foundation of the Christian church’s commission for the next 2000 years. Jesus would ascend to heaven from the Mt Olives, a place on which several significant events in His life took place. Today we serve a risen Saviour who will come back soon - this is the hope that we have as Christians!

The main figures of the reformation such as Martin Luther, John Calvin and Zwingli are part of what is known as the Magisterial Reformation. There was another wing of the reformation that was known as the Radical Reformation. Dr Dojčin Živadinovic takes us through this very crucial history and shares why we have much more in common with this less known, smaller branch of the reformation than we sometimes think.

The Sabbath has always had a special place in sacred history ever since its introduction in the Garden of Eden.

Most of the great reformers who significantly impacted religious history had a connection to the main Universities of their day. The Waldenses would send their young people to study in the great universities as missionaries. Thus, the role that public university campus ministry has played in religious history must be considered and appreciated. Israel Ramos, Director of CAMPUS in Michigan takes us through this fascinating subject and helps us to understand how vital this ministry is.

The Black American history is one full of both tragedy and triumph and how the Seventh-day Adventist church intersects with this history is fascinating. The late 1800’s in the USA was a time of turmoil and civil war with slavery at the heart of the issues fought over. Then in the mid to late 1900’s we have the civil rights movement in the USA. During both time periods the Adventist church had to grapple with how to deal with this social and political challenge. At times we can be proud of our history but at other times we did not act as we should have. Join us as Dr. Benjamin Baker, an expert on this subject, unpacks this subject.

The General Conference Session of 1888 will always be connected with the question, what if in Adventist history. A missed opportunity, a tragic misunderstanding, a fight about some issues that would later be declared irrelevant all form a part of the 1888 story.

Join us as we interview Dee Casper who has studied the 1888 message in depth and is passionate about people understanding what took place.
