It‘s the beginning of all beginnings and the end of all ends. Join Brent Siddall and the Rev Ian ‘Reido‘ Reid as they explore God, time, salvation and the cosmos. Explore the stories of Western culture as they pivot and interact with the main narrative of salvation history.

‘We are in the business of seeing others, seeing them the way God sees them, and letting them know they have value’.
Brent talks with Amy Williams about her new IVP book ‘Worth Seeing: Viewing Others Through God’s Eyes’.
