Why aren’t all churches open and fighting for ‘freedom’? 
During this podcast Albert and Patrick respond to some of the harsh criticism that has been levelled against ‘noodleback’ pastors like themselves who have chosen to submit to the orders of our government during this pandemic. They give some thoughts about why they believe this is still the best approach for the Church in Ontario.

In this episode Albert sits down with the current Director of Fire and Emergency Services for Malahide Township to talk about everything from the evolution of the rural fire departments, to dealing with traumatic events and the importance of the mental health of first responders. 

This week Patrick sits down with Scott Lewis, a local businessman and member of the Malahide council. Join us for some rich conversation!

Today Trevor sits down with Josh, the lead singer of Moore Ave Underground as they talk about what it's been like navigating an industry that has been shut down for over a year and how he's gotten though it. 

In this episode Albert interviews Helen Brennemen, one of the co-owners of Johnny’s restaurant in Aylmer. They talk about the challenges and rewards of running a business in a small town and the additional stress of operating during COVID.

In this episode Patrick and Albert discuss how our faith, and not the pandemic, govern the way we respond to our government orders.

“If you are a parent, I’m living your worst nightmare”. The sudden and tragic loss of their 3-year-old daughter on September 19, 1996 left George and Sara Dyck’s family devastated. 24 years after this tragedy, we talk to Sara about living with loss, surviving grief and how they worked as a family to support each other in the days, months, and years since that day.

Grief is something none of us ever want to think about, but it is a normal response to loss and there are great resources like ‘Grief Share’ to help work through that loss and grief so don’t struggle alone!!
