The Power of the Pause: How Waiting on God Elevates You

Miki digs into 2 Peter chapter one, verses five to ten, unpacking Peter's list for growing in faith: goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love. This conversation is about discipleship, accountability in small groups, and what "making every effort" looks like in the small, everyday choices we make.

Andrew explores the tension between church and multiculturalism, unpacking Brian Tamaki's controversial social media post and its place in Aotearoa's immigration debate. Douglas Brown of the Free Speech Union weighs in on free expression versus incitement, Jonathan Dove of the Auckland Church Network makes the case for our national anthem's prayer for unity, and Laidlaw theologian Dr. Gregory J. Liston turns to Romans 14 for practical wisdom on handling disagreements without losing sight of Christian fellowship. Plus, could immigration be fuelling a faith revival rather than diluting our Christian heritage?
