"We should live our lives in a way that demands a gospel explanation!" Jeff Vanderstelt Sometimes we find it hard to share our faith in our workplace.

This week we tackle an audience question from Katelyne! We all have a deep need to trust, but always seem to struggle with it when it comes to trusting God with our lives. In this episode we look at why that is, how we combat it in our own lives and also check out some biblical examples.

Israel Folau has recently become a polarising figure in the sporting world due to his social media posts regarding his religious beliefs.

Should Rugby Australia have the right to fire him and did Israel do anything wrong in the first place. If you want to hear our take on all of those questions this is an episode you wont want to miss!
