Regent College Podcast

When Protestants in much of the western world think about the factions in the church, we tend to focus on Protestants and Catholics––entirely forgetting about the Eastern Orthodox church. In today's episode, our hosts Octavio and Claire sit down with Eastern Orthodox priest Father Lawrence Farley. Father Farley, a convert from the Protestant tradition, explains some of the nuances and distinctions between Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox traditions. Brace yourself for a few laughs, some surprises, and a great conversation.To learn more about Regent College and its upcoming events and courses visit:www.regent-college.edu/Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

In today's episode, we are delighted to speak with Paul Williams, Chief Executive of the Bible Society and Research Professor at Regent College. Many Christians have an underlying insecurity about the role of faith in the public square: What can we contribute? How do we engage? And do we have to leave our faith at the door? Paul argues that a fearless, joyful Christian presence in the public square is not only possible but necessary.

This week we had the treat of welcoming Krish Kandiah back to the podcast to discuss a topic that is near and dear to his heart: caring for vulnerable children. Krish is a passionate advocate for fostering and adoption. With his wife, Mariam, he practices what he preaches, building a family where fostering and adoption are the norm. Krish showed us how a truncated understanding of the gospel limits our response to the needs of vulnerable children, encouraging us to reconsider our call as God's people. Should the church be responsible for the orphans in our cities? Is fostering and adopting a special calling on someone's life? Are orphanages a good idea?
