J.A. Franklin

T.J. Pelham

Are you wondering how a Christian should respond to current events? What are we to think about a world that appears to be going absolutely mad? How are we to discern the signs of the times? In this podcast, featuring The Reverend Thomas Pelham, The Reverend Daniel French, The Reverend Doctor J.A. Franklin and the occasional guest, we attempt to give some answers. Email us at irreverendpod@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter @irreverendpod or on Telegram at https://t.me/irreverendpod. We also have a youtube channel which can be found by searching Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs!

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to give you the soundest take on recent events. This time:

 • The latest on the Keir Starmer Mandelson debacle as I ask why the political discourse in Britain has degraded to such an extent.
 • The Assisted Suicide bill fails in the House of Lords. The country is spared but how long until Leadbeater tries to resurrect the foul corpse?
 • And Russell Brand has a new book on how to become a Christian. I comment on his appearance on Piers Morgan's Uncensored and his cringing inability to locate a passage in the Prophet Isaiah.

All that, your correspondence, hymn of the week, and a little more as ever.
