2025-01-0925 minThe One Thing382 The Gospel at Work in Fractured Families at Christmas (Stephen McApline)Think Charles Dickens, but real life. For Steve McAlpine’s mother, Christmas wasn’t always merry: abandoned in foster care, kidnapped by her birth mother, left by her husband—then reconciled. Over 80 years, her extraordinary journey, shaped by the gospel, turned Christmas into something truly transformative.
Steve has a background in journalism and three decades experience pastoring and planting churches. He has spent most of his life in Western Australia, but is originally from Northern Ireland, emigrating, as so many did, back in the 1970s.

Delorean PhilosophyPeace - where on earth?In the run up to Christmas, Steve McAlpine looks dubiously at the West's repeated calls for 'peace on earth'. Could peace - at least as far as the West is concerned - remain beyond reach because of the direction our culture wars have taken?If calls for tolerance are now viewed suspiciously as a fig leaves for oppressive powers, so much so that we must behave in a violently intolerant way, then what room is there for peace?Instead, we may find ourselves in a society that is perpetually at war with itself b...

Statistics suggest it's definitely something to consider. The simple hashtag #revert has had 2.9 billion views, followed by #RevertMuslim (1.4 billion), and #MuslimRevert (525 million).Such movements have happened before, particularly after 9-11.

Delorean Philosophy2023's Word of the Year: ConspiracySteve McAlpine takes a look at our trend towards conspiracy theories and wonders where it will take us in the coming year. 2022's word of the year was 'gaslighting' and it seems we are set up for a darker shade of deceit in 2023 now that everyone is increasingly committed to only searching for the news they want to hear.The death of six people in Queensland as the year comes to a close demonstrates how dangerous conspiracy theories can be. But such disturbing events are a result of our increasing tendency to seek in...

The idea seems to be that if we can have the fruit of the gospel without the root of the gospel, we'll be just fine. And now pretty much the same for Christmas. If we can have t...

Delorean PhilosophyNo faith for the King to defendSteve McAlpine addresses the Western trend away from the Christian faith, evidenced by disturbing statistics from leading countries, and asks, "What will faith look like for future monarchs?"Much ink was spilled a couple of decades ago when King Charles III (then the Prince of Wales) stated that he would prefer his title to be 'defender of faiths' rather than 'defender of the faith'. Charles - in his multicultural, multi-faith zeal - was keen to embrace the growing religious pluralism of Britain. But now the statistics are pointing in a different direction.The king finds...

Delorean PhilosophyIf not Tate, then who?Steve McAlpine considers the near-universal agreement that Andrew Tate is not a suitable role model for young men, but poses the question, 'Where to from here?'Who are the role models who show what healthy masculinity is supposed to be like? And if we’re not sure, then there’s little chance the next generation of men is going to be either.Many of the alternate voices that attempt to define masculinity have zero connection with most young men. They suggest a path that has more to do with the absence of anything particularly masc...

There are also opposing sides in another way.

The technical term is expressive individualism – the almost sacred right of every person to find out what aids their flourishing and to do that, even if it comes at the expense of other people.It’s a project seemingly full of promise. Full of personal growth. And it’s built on the philosophical assumptions of the past couple of hundred years, in which communities – particularly family and faith communities – are viewed as restrictive and damaging to your flourishing as an individual.
