The Right Kinda Christian? Several years ago I was having dinner with my wife’s long-term university friends who had all studied psychology with her back in the day. Great bunch. They’d all met in their late teens in their first couple of weeks on campus, and here they were in their forties still meeting up, […]

Polarised: Gunning Down Activists and Tearing Down Posters
This is a still picture from a video of a 77 year old former law professor gunning down two environmental activists who had blocked a road in Panama as a protest. A video is also available on Twitter. I won’t link that. Note the spent casing as it jumps from the gun. This is the […]
Actually Max, the post-Christian West IS Babylon: It just depends what you mean by it.
I wasn’t able to attend the 2023 Freedom For Faith conference recently. I did attend the 2022 version where I was one of the keynote speakers, whereupon I promptly got COVID (my first awful round) on the trip back. I was also scurrilously misquoted by The Financial Review, whose reporter made me out to be […]

Are Churches Growing Or Are Christians Just Shifting?
This is a guest post by a friend of mine, Dr. Steven McCready, who is the Senior Minister of Riverview Church here in Perth. I’m writing this to my brothers and sisters, the pastors of the churches in Perth. I am a guest in this great city, and I consider it an honour to co-labour […]
A Sexular Stage

And once again it’s been done from a big stage. A […]
Five Lessons That Big Ange Can Teach Christian Leaders
My Big Ange Dilemma I am a Gunners supporter. An Arsenal Football Club tragic. From way back. 1980. Living in Australia watching late night replays as a band of white English blokes hoof the ball forward for a nil-all draw on a muddy pitch in the shadows of the standing-only chilly Highbury terraces. Now? It’s […]
The Matildas: It’s All About Football, Sex and Transcendence.
And He Scores! I remember the best goal I ever scored in a football match. Okay, in a soccer match for you minority football codes in Australia, New Zealand and the USA. That goal! It had a sense of, a sense of transcendence. My best goal ever. A desperately fast back-and-forth cup final match, when […]
Victoria’s Anti-Conversion Legislation Promotional Is A Soothing Bed-Time Story
The Victorian Government has just published its media information pack on conversion therapy. And I’ve gotta say, the YouTube video its has produced takes the biscuit. And it’s taken a leaf out of casting central, by employing Mr Bed Time Story Guy to provide the voice over. As I was watching it I wanted to […]
I’m Reading “The Case For Christian Nationalism”, So That You Don’t Have To (Pt 1)
We’ll get to Stephen Wolfe’s The Case For Christian Nationalism in a moment, but first… It’s an angry political world. And Christians are not immune. Angry Politics I am not immune. You are not immune. It’s angry politics at twenty paces – even among Christians. I’m a conservative so I get angry from the Right. […]
