Context Beyond The Headlines

Go deeper into the news and current affair impacting Canada and what it means for Christians trying to make sense of it all with Context Beyond the Headlines podcast. We sit down with people who have first-hand experiences to get their perspectives on how changes to society will affect Canadians and how the church can play a role in walking alongside the most vulnerable. Host Maggie John tackles how faith intersects with everything from abortion, decriminalization of drugs, reconciliation, human trafficking and systemic racism. Listen every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
