Three Important June Conversations

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:42:14 +0000

June presents several opportunities for Christians to reflect on how the doctrine of the imago Dei—the belief that every person is created in God's image—shapes our understanding of human dignity and ethics. In this episode of Equipped with Chris Brooks, Chris explores three important topics through that lens: the value of fathers and fatherhood, the biblical view of human sexuality, and the church's responsibility to model ethnic unity. Examine with us how these issues are connected to a Christian understanding of what it means to be made in the image of God.

The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God

Fri, 29 May 2026 18:00:00 +0000

The Christian faith that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But what if this isn’t the whole story? Could we be witnessing a return to belief in God in this generation? Writer and broadcaster Justin Brierley is convinced that we are seeing a growing wave of faith among intellectuals and former atheists. On this edition of Equipped with Chris Brooks, Justin and Chris Brooks discuss why this is happening and how we can prepare for a fresh wave of former skeptics who are now seeking Jesus!
