A Biblical Frame: Current Events in Perspective Podcast artwork

Welcome to A Biblical Frame. This is a spontaneous project that arose from a group of pastors and theologians who recognized the great need for theological direction for Christ’s church in Canada. Canada has faced totalitarian restrictions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. While there may have been a time to acquiesce to the provincial health officers, that time is coming to an end and the church needs help.

Mass Media and Christian Discernment: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Aug 24 2023 90 mins

One of the things that the Bible talks about over and over again is that when it comes to matters of justice, especially community justice, where life and other serious things hang in the balance, the situation or an event or an incident must be established by a multiplicity of witnesses, not just by one. In Canada we seem to have a single voice from the establishment media. How th

Our second episode, part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Aaron Kheriaty continues today. What have the churches learned from the pandemic? What should they learn?

The Covid Apocalypse | Part 1

Mar 24 2023 45 mins

As we look back on the various stages of the Covid-19 pandemic it is plain to see that there are many ways the church responded to the virus and restrictions.

Insights on the Covid-19 Pandemic and Vaccines with Dr. Steven Pelech of UBC

Jul 11 2022 100 mins

And this is the way to break out of the imaginary encirclement of our inertness, the easiest way for us and the most devastating for the lies. For when people renounce lies, lies simply cease to exist. Like parasites, they can only survive when attached to a person.We are not called upon to step out onto the square and shout out the truth, to say out loud what we think—this is sc

What Can A Pastor Do? Bill C-4 in Canada

Jul 05 2022 74 mins

It is not an understatement to say that Bill C-4 could have severe effects on the witness of the Church in Canada. Due to the rushed nature of this legislation, pastors, priests, and Christian counsellors have been reeling since its adoption.
