That Good Fight: A Reformation for GentlemenWhy Multiculturalism is a Very Bad IdeaIn this episode we talk about the impact of multiculturalism on British (and western) culture; the rise of globalism; The Strange Death of Europe, and the mission of the Church.
Too few Christians today are aware of the societal disruption caused when the liberal ideology of multiculturalism is imposed on a culture with the assumption that contradictory worldviews can harmonise (whilst eroding the dominant culture) without significant unrest. Instead, Christians often assume that multiculturalism is not a secular idea but a fruit of the Gospel bringing different people together.

Pod of the GapsEpisode 78 - Islamism and Islamophobia: A Christian Response (feat. Tim Dieppe of Christian Concern)Many Christians are naïve about the ways Islam has gained much ground within western society in recent years, influencing numerous spheres of culture, politics, and law. The vision of Islamic beliefs ruling all spheres of society (‘Islamism’) may not be adopted by all western Muslims, but it is a belief entirely consistent with Islamic tradition.
Where Muslims are often very bullish about defending their values and public symbols, Christians often happily give away such cultural ground, fearing the accusation of ‘Islamophobia’. What are the implications of allowing elements of Shariah Law to be imposed within western societies today? What can Chris...2024-04-051h 06
