Is it ever okay to lie? The Bible’s answer isn’t always as straightforward as we might expect. In this episode of the CCL podcast, Tony Payne speaks with Moore College OT Lecturer Jack Day about deception in the Old Testament and what it means for Christians today.

How should Christians engage with politics?
Are we called to step back, dive in—or something different altogether? Why do we often feel like we don’t quite fit on either side?

How should Christians engage with politics?

Some of us keep our distance. Others engage closely. Yet many of us feel we don’t quite belong—neither Left nor Right.

Join us for “Left right out: The strange position of the political Christian”, an interactive workshop from the Centre for Christian Living, as we reflect on what faithful Christian engagement looks like in the public square.

Wednesday 20 May 2026
7:00–9:00pm
$15 (or $12.50pp for groups of 4+)

This workshop will not be livestreamed, but portions will be recorded for future CCL podcast episodes.

As headphones become part of everyday life, it’s worth asking what we might be tuning out—not just noise, but people, and perhaps even God’s voice.

A thoughtful reflection on listening, isolation, and the call to hear more deeply.

Moore College student Paul Rajkumar reminds us that listening is a choice in this brief article.

Part 3: If smartphones are shaping our habits and desires, how should Christians respond? Tony Payne explores what faithful living with technology looks like today. Listen: https://t.co/ECcWOmtOKF

In Part 1 of our series, we explored the extraordinary power and usefulness of the smartphone, as well as the powerful effects and consequences that follow from its widespread usage—the way that the phone, in fact, shapes the way we think about our lives and the way we act as humans.

In this episode—Part 2—we’re going to think about what God says about all this—what he says about what it means to be human, and how human technology and manufacturing relates to God and to the purposes he has for humanity. How do the Scriptures shape our understanding of technology in general and the smartphone in particular? We’ll find it does so in surprising and disturbing and liberating ways.

(Please note: Part 3 will be published in a fortnight’s time.)
