Uncharted

Evangelical Alliance

It’s faith... but not as we know it. Or is it? We have gone through the emotional, spiritual and physical turmoil of a pandemic. We all live with the scars. We are experiencing a cost of living crisis and there is a horrific and barbaric war in Europe. How has all this affected our faith, discipleship and how we feel about gathering for worship? What have we learned and what have we lost? As followers of Jesus in this strange, uncharted season, what direction are we going in? Fred Drummond and friends chat and reflect through some of these themes (and there’s even space for some laughter too!)
