How do I trust in God when everything feels so uncertain?
We live in unprecedented times. If you keep an eye on the news you’ll know that the world is unsettled. Wars, political uncertainty, cost of living crisis, cultural change - it's no wonder people are anxious. How should Christians respond to all of this? Berni Dymet is a Bible teacher, broadcaster and former leader of ChristianityWorks. He sat down with Lydia Bennett to share some encouragement and challenge on staying rooted when the world around us is so turbulent.
Why are white working‑class men missing from our churches?
The Gospel is good news for everyone, yet despite Jesus coming for all, the Church still struggles to reach every part of society equally. One group often missing from our congregations is white working‑class men. William Wade, Senior Pastor of Life Church in Cuffley, Hertfordshire, and Alison Hockney, worship leader and trustee at the church, joined Carlton Baxter to unpack how we can reach out to this group.
How a nationwide evangelism ministry started from one simple act
Soore Oloaye's calling has been shaped by a deep conviction that the Gospel is good news meant to be shared. He is the founder of Reconcile UK, an interdenominational movement taking the message of Jesus into UK cities, with a heart to see people reconciled back to God. This he does alongside his work in the energy industry. He joined Carlton Baxter to share how it all started and the incredible testimonies he has seen so far
