God's design for marriage rests on a complementarian understanding, so why is 'female submission' so contested today? In this episode, the ladies have their take. 

WorldView Wednesday

On Female Submission

Voting is neither negligible nor ultimate because a Christian’s “pilgrim” identity must shape how they engage everything, including politics.   As Uganda votes, we remind ourselves of our transcendent, yet relevant outlook in a temporal world we find ourselves in.  We ponder what it means to be “in the world but not of it” (John 17:14-16)

Ug Elections and Christian Responsibility.

We've just ended the most turbulent of years, 2020 left many with experiences unexpected, yet it also reminded us lots about what matters, namely; God's sovereignty, the nature of the church, our plans amidst his, waiting on God, and whatnot. Listen in as we endeavor to recount the year that was. Oh, and happy new 2021 to you!

The Year of our COVID: How 2020 changed everything we'd imagined about reality.

What do we make of Christmas in this COVID year? Why should we think about the birth of Christ amidst the pain and suffering and disorientation brought by the pandemic? Is the message of Christmas relevant for us today? Join Derrick, Denis, Joseph, and Eddie as they discuss the significance of the incarnation for our everyday life as humans.

EP #014 COVID Christmas

Someone told this generation that the world is the problem and the solution is within, yet scripture shows we are our main problem and the solution required a Saviour from without.  How you diagnose the human condition is central to which solutions you offer, and how you define happiness. Whereas lots of slogans and media messaging today constantly point believers to self sovereignty.  God liberates us from the tyranny of self and invites us to instead deny it and follow the one who knew no sin, yet lived a perfect life. 

EP #013 The Christian and Self Improvement (Part Two)

JJ Smith once said self improvement is like a boiling kettle, it heats faster (keenly) unobserved.  And so is the Christian life,   The more attention we get off ourselves the more likely we are to grow, behold, and change.  Or like the author of Hebrews 12 implies, the more we fix our eyes on Jesus, the more we overcome what easily entangles.  No wonder many of our self-improvement projects fall flat, we set up the wrong goals and consequently live inferior lives.  

EP #012 The Christian and Self Improvement

A “pandemic”, a “humbling of a civilization”, “COVID19” what haven’t we called the recent crisis?  Everything pales in light of imminent death, as church locations ceased this Sunday, as supermarket choices dropped, one thing remained—a steadfast hope amidst fear and chaos, a Christian hope.  To abide in Christ is to live out the good news amidst the bad.  But how then do you live as a treasured possession in a pandemic? 

EP #011 COVID-19, Christianity, and Suffering.

Distraction is the new duty, what used to reside inside a thousand minds is now a matter of public consumption.  The digital age is invading how we think of ourselves, God and the world around us.  As fragile identities lurk behind images, tweets and uploads, believers in Christ must ask bolder questions.  Who am I? What do my media habits reveal about my real loves, how is my use of time advancing the gospel? What deserves my utmost attention, what is leisure in an embattled world?  What about “redeeming the time?” 

EP #010 Wise Living In a Social Media Age.

We spend half of our adult lives at work, few things reveal, shape our character (or lack thereof) than the longest hours we give to our daily duties.  How does Christian identity address success and failure, rest, fear of man, laziness and workaholism?  What should our Christian witness look like between 8-5pm?  Listen.

EP #009 Why and How Must Christians work?

If  indeed wrong believing comes before wrong living, how we arrive at what we believe matters.  If indeed “rightly dividing  the word of truth” (2Tim 2:15) is central to our spiritual health. Then  how we do it is a matter of life, and death.  What is healthy Bible interpretation?

EP #008 What is Healthy Bible Interpretation?

The contemporary Ugandan church is often in confusion about how Christians should hear from God.  From dream interpretations to sentimentality and pseudo prophecies, God’s people  seem to always be in search of a more certain way of hearing from God, accurately and effectively.  In this episode we explore a more excellent way that the sufficiency of scripture provides.  Listen..

EP #007 How Does God Speak Today

On this Episode of the Podcast, we ask and explore the notion that Social Media is evil and ask the questions; Should Christians use it or should we altogether move away from it? Is it a stumbling block to be avoided or is there more to it that could possibly benefit the Christian and those unreached by the gospel?  Join Eddie, Derek and Jessica in having this conversation.

EP #006 Should Christians Use Social Media?

We are all too familiar with the 'testimonies' of Church hurt and people leaving the fold as a result of it. One way or the other, we are involved on either side of this 'debate'.  On this Episode, we explore Christian Community, its perks and possible downside(s) or misuse. On this episode, we are joined by Dennis Mugume, Youth Pastor at St. Francis Chapel Makerere and Besweri Walujjo who Pastors at Sojourn Church

EP #005 Is Church Community Overrated?

Ambition and the Christian seem like parallels, but are they really? Is there such a thing as godly ambition or does it compromise the Christian for them to be ambitious? On this Episode of the Podcast, we speak about the perversion of ambition and how we should and can redeem it for the glory of God. 

EP #004 Can The Christian Be Ambitious?

In the last three episodes of the podcast, we have been talking 'Salvation'. What, how, when it happens. In this third part of the series, we wrap up the conversation on this very pivotal conversation for the Christian. Have you listened to all three episodes? What are your thoughts about this conversation?  

EP #003 Salvation (Part Three)

Worldview Wednesday are about Roundtable informal conversations about faith, life, and culture. It is Christianity in the public square, in dialogue with other worldviews. Committedly biblical, we think that our generation must learn to think biblically and engage soberly, wisely responding to the questions of origin, morality, meaning, and destiny every heart poses. We desire to open avenues for respectful discussion and even polite disagreements.
