Driving Melbourne to Canberra we listened to Undeceptions with John Dickson. Stimulating, encouraging and hopeful when thinking about the flourishing of our wider communities because of the presence of faith communities. Jesus serving the nations through his servants here on earth - us!
Hands down one of the best podcasts going. A thought provoking blend of history, faith and contemporary affairs. John Dickson builds on his deep background in the history of faith and society, offering profound insights pertinent to a contemporary life of faith. John's masterful podcast aptly connects our ancient faith directly with the raft of challenges confronting us all. Undeceptions has become essential fuel for my living faith today.
Excellent thought provoking topics that are well presented. I was looking for spiritually rich content to listen on my commute or long walks, this is ideal.
