Government U-turns: Weak leadership or Christ-like integrity?
In the build-up to the Autumn Budget, there’s been criticism of last-minute U-turns by Labour on key promises. But is changing direction always a sign of bad leadership? Michael spoke with Rachel Maskell, Labour MP for York Central, alongside Gary Spicer, professional mentor for Christian entrepreneurs, and Graham Miller from London City Mission, to explore what strong Christian leadership might look like.
Is singing the key to connecting to God this advent?
Tim Chester is a lecturer in historical theology and spiritual formation for Crosslands and Chair of Keswick Ministries. And this advent, he’s encouraging you...to sing! His latest book is a 24-day Advent devotional with short daily reflections on the songs of praise poured out in the Gospels during the Nativity story, and he joined Michael to tell us more!
Are far-right values leading people to church?
Supporters of Tommy Robinson are reportedly coming to church—some driven more by politics than by faith. Should this make us wary, or should we welcome them in? To explore this polarising issue, writer and socially conservative commentator James Cary and Danny Webster, Head of Advocacy at the Evangelical Alliance, joined Michael. They also heard from Tim Farron, Liberal Democrat MP and host of Premier’s politics podcast A Mucky Business.
