Delorean PhilosophyChristmas past, present, and futureIn a special Christmas episode, Steve takes some time to reflect on how Christmas - an ancient celebration - is changing as fast as the culture itself.The commercialism and pageantry of Christmas has sucked meaning from this important celebration.The earliest Christmas memories of ordinary people can be lost in this meaningless procession.But are we at risk of losing something even more significant? Are we in short supply of joy at Christmas?It certainly seems to be in short supply at the moment - so what does that mean f...2023-12-2119 min
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...2023-12-1425 min
Delorean PhilosophyYoung, Female, Western and MuslimNever mind gender identity. The new trend is 'reversion' - a 'return' to the Islamic faith.A growing movement of young women are espousing the Quran, wearing the hijab, and calling on other young women across the West to do the same.Is it a social media storm in a teacup? 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. However, scratch the surface of this trending topic and Steve McAlpine shows...2023-11-2321 min

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...2022-12-2219 min
Delorean PhilosophyIf Christmas isn’t pagan now, it soon will beSteve McAlpine pulls up a chair to Christmas and asks if the increasingly secular scene we're looking at is one we'll be happy with in years to come.Steve believes Christmas is becoming like so much of the other stuff that Christianity gave to the world - advances that many in the West think sprang up from nowhere. 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...2022-12-1517 min

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...2022-12-0820 min
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...2022-12-0119 min
Delorean PhilosophyWhose World Cup is this?Steve McAlpine says the media-fuelled controversy surrounding Qatar, the host-nation of the World Cup reveals a hint of neo-colonialism in the way the West treats nations that don't agree with it.There are more than two football sides on the pitch these days. There are also opposing sides in another way. Two ways – at least two ways – of looking at the world.This World Cup is being held in a Muslim-majority country in West Asia and it’s being held at the very time sport in the West has taken on a teaching role - an alm...2022-11-2419 min
Delorean PhilosophyCrisis climateSteve McAlpine looks at the apocalyptic angst that is engulfing younger generations and asks if there is no off-tap to their earth-shaking fears.Those whose early memories are of the twin towers falling are experiencing not simply a climate crisis but a crisis climate.Crisis abounds. The end has seemed nigh for some time - for all of their lives at least - and they’re just waiting for the axe to fall. Or the fire to fall. Whatever it may be.Steve finds it’s a climate of crisis in seemingly every dire...2022-11-1720 min
Delorean PhilosophyCheaper to dieSteve McAlpine looks into a brewing crisis at the juncture of health care and euthanasia legislation.Stories emerging from Canada demonstrate that people with chronic illness or pain are choosing to end their lives not because they want to die but because it is too expensive to live.With countries like the Netherlands ever widening the door to assisted death, Steve asks what incentive exists for Western governments to repair struggling healthcare systems when clearing the path out of this world is so much more cost-effective.What hope is there for improving the...2022-11-1020 min

Nor is it a promotion for having ten and living in isolated communities behind barbed-wire fences.However, for whatever reason, many younger secular couples in the West have decided not to have CHILDREN. And if that trend...2022-11-0321 min
Delorean PhilosophyThe tip of the icebergSteve McAlpine takes a look beneath the surface of the heavy seas that are swamping Western governments and asks whether or not we have bigger things to fear than political instability.Our political turmoils are the tip of deeper cultural churning. The West is balkanising. We are fracturing, not along ethnic lines but along cultural ones. No one is willing to cede their authority, and that only leaves one way for us to get other people to do what we want them to: power.Political instability might be an inconvenience, but cultural in-fighting l...2022-10-2722 minThe Christian Education PodcastDo Christian schools have a future? - Stephen McAlpineStephen McAlpine joins me to discuss the state of Christianity and the future of Christian education.

Delorean PhilosophySocial Weed-killer'You do you' is the mantra of western society. 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.

Delorean PhilosophyHackedSteve McAlpine draws our attention to the wider implications of a data hack that's exposed the personal information of 40% of Australia's citizens. The attack on the data vaults of Australian telco Optus seems alarming, but a far greater amount of data is being released daily - willingly - by the digital citizens of the West.It's already being 'hacked' by political parties and corporate giants, and is likely to be sifted to a greater extent in the not-too-distant future.So what should we be doing if we don't want to end up living i...2022-10-0618 min
Delorean PhilosophyGod Saves The QueenSteve McAlpine looks at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II as a metaphor for a much bigger change in society.The death of the Queen was supposed to be the final nail in the coffin of a public acknowledgement of something transcendent, a God who orders the world. But instead what we’re finding is a longing for something more - something more than a materialist view of the world, or, as one writer put it, “something magical” to fill the void.If we're going to have a future without a personal monarch, Steve suggests, we're...2022-09-3018 min
