22.01.2022 It's been a crazy year with many challenges, particularly for young people. With rising anxiety and mental health problems it seems hard to thrive. Yet we meet someone who has found a pathway to help young people grow. On this week's Bigger Questions we speak with child and adolescent psychologist Sharon Garro about how she is helping kids thrive at Red Rock Christian College in Melbourne. https://citybibleforum.org//ep-182-how-can-young-people-th

21.01.2022 Welcome to the Dining Table with Melvin Tinker and Rob Smith

21.01.2022 What an excellent acceptance speech. Well worth listening to! The man who led the Human Genome Project Dr Francis Collins says: "I began a journey to try to understand why intellectually sophisticated people could actually believe in God and to my dismay, found that atheism turned out to be the least rational of all the choices." https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2678743805722949

20.01.2022 In an age when the average scientific atheist such as Richard Dawkins claims that religion and science can’t mix has held sway, the data suggests otherwise. Read Stephen McAlpine's latest blog here: https://thirdspace.org.au/node/4975 #ScienceVsReligion #science #Templeton

19.01.2022 How do you lead a response to a terrorist incident? Andrew Scipione was the NSW Commissioner of Police during the Lindt Cafe siege of 2014. He shares big lessons of leadership learned on that fateful day and his surprising source of inspiration and strength. https://citybibleforum.org//ep-180-what-are-biggest-lesson

19.01.2022 ‘You do you.’ Is there a better motto for life and how we love others? ‘You do you’ sounds good. It encourages people to be authentic, to be true to who they ar...e. Surely, a world full of conflict and division would benefit from more people adopting ‘you do you’ as a guiding principle in their dealings with others? But what would life look like if everyone did adopt such a ‘you do you’ attitude? What if ‘you do you’ is not as loving as we first think and actually leads to more conflict and division? Is there a better way to live and to love?

18.01.2022 Join with Third Space's David Robertson and SMBC’s Rob Smith for a fascinating discussion with Melvin Tinker. Tinker is author of That hideous strength: how the west was lost and retired Vicar of St John’s Newland in Hull, England. His book explores the rapidly changing worldview of Western civilization and seeks to open the eyes of Christians and other curious observers to the dangers of the worldview relentlessly promoted by the media. #DavidRobertson # MelvinTinker #CulturalMarxism

18.01.2022 Does truth matter? Is a world where your truth, my truth, and scientific truth are each valued equally such a terrible thing?

15.01.2022 How good is human memory? Is human memory good enough to accurately preserve remarkable one-off events which occurred long in the past? According to Professor Patrick Nunn in his book "The Edge of Memory" it is extremely good. Rob Martin considers this idea in light of oral traditions that preserved human history. https://citybibleforum.org//melb/blog/amazing-human-memory

15.01.2022 The experience of suffering in our lives and in our world can make us question: "Where is God? What is God doing?"

13.01.2022 Just two weeks to go until the 2020 National Prayer Breakfast! Have you registered? https://nationalprayerbreakfast.org/

08.01.2022 In a world obsessed with material prosperity Jesus' life and teaching present a challenge to everyone. He does not just call for radical compassion, sacrifice & mercy Jesus teaches it is the best way to live. But if Jesus criticised the rich and cared for the poor, why are so many Christians fixated on wealth? In our final talk in our series livestreamed from Hobart, 'Does Christianity have a PR Problem?' Aaron Johnstone will dive into what the Bible says about greed, money, inequality, and generosity.

08.01.2022 A Time for Everything: Why do I feel there is something more? Join David Robertson as we explore the book of Ecclesiates. As we reach the final stretch of 2020,... we are still adjusting to the demands of the new normal and planning for the challenges and opportunities that it will continue to bring. But what about the NOT so new normal? While the new normal might adjust some of the details, the big questions of life and the problems humanity faces remain: Why does life seem meaningless? Why can I never have enough? Why does it feel like there is something more? Why can’t we achieve justice for all? It would be foolish to ignore the not so new normal and the questions it has continued to raise.
