In Christ Alone
The Reformation is yet to find its way to the heart of many people on earth and yet it is what many people are searching for. The essence of the Reformation is that ordinary people would find purpose, be empowered by the word of God, and live a life according to His will. However, vast numbers of…

Being Human S2E03
What’s wrong with our world? What drives us apart? Things get gritty in this week’s episode of Being Human, as Peter and Jo wrestle with the conflict driving our story forward. We all seem to know something is off, but in the stories we listen to, what carries the plot along? If conflict is the…
