God‘s story is the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. But it‘s also humanity‘s story, the story of a world fallen and blown apart and of a world reshaped and restored. 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.

Can the church be future proofed? Is the church future proofed already?
Brent talks with Stephen McAlpine about his new book from The Good Book Company called ‘Futureproof: How to Live for Jesus in a Culture that Keeps on Changing’.
Stephen has been reading, writing and reflecting ever since he can remember. He’s pastored at several churches in his home state of Western Australia and in his writing dabbles in a number of fields, notably theology and culture, and the rapidly changing face of secularism in the West.
