Mar 17 2024 28 mins  
Well even with mobile phone cameras, we still all know the pressure of getting the perfect shot to capture that special moment before it passes.

Ep 7, Reshaping work and church

Mar 10 2024 46 mins  
Well over the years a regular conversation I've had with both pastors and Christians in the workplace is how to bridge the church-work divide.

Ep 2- How to handle the fruit of work

Feb 05 2024 41 mins  
So how should we think about the fruit of our work? Are there some ways of managing our money that honour God more than others? Is it best to save, invest, or spend? How should our Christian faith shape our relationship to wealth? Accountant Yo-kel Frank has thought a lot about these questions and more, and has published his thoughts in a recent - and very practical - book called

How would you respond if you were caught up in the middle of a political firestorm? So much so that your name and face was splashed across the front page of newspapers and on the nightly news on TV.
