UCB Interview with Vicky Gibbens

I was very impressed by the presenter Vicky Gibbens who interviewed me yesterday on her radio show. I’ve been interviewed on the radio quite a few times and I’ve often come away feeling rather deflated and disappointed. I’m making myself vulnerable here. With Vicky it was completely different. It wasn’t really an interview; rather a very enjoyable conversation with a very intelligent, empathetic woman who really knew her stuff.

Our conversation included some thoughts on the ‘peanut man’, Elizabeth Fry, Harriet Tubman, the cultural mandate, discipleship, secular indoctrination and blokes who love nothing better than to plunge into freezing cold water at 3 am in the morning!
