Episodes

  1. Weekly Word 65

    Long time between recordings, but here we are in 2024. This episode I focus and reminisce on some bands that I used to like.

  2. Weekly Word 64 - Merry everything?

    Merry Everything, ladies and gentlemen. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/pacific-werribee-changes-merry-everything-sign-after-backlash/news-story/0c46e74abdbc3221e377a9dd9489fb3b

  3. Weekly Word 62 - Hiroshima, the Peace Museum, and the current state of the world.

    When I was in Japan for work, I visited the Peace Museum in Hiroshima. It’s purpose is to show the human cost of war. Wars are fought between governments and principalities. Who suffers the most, but the innocent civilians caught in the middle. Much like it is the Israeli and Palestinian…

  4. Weekly Word 61 - 9/11, Biden not attending the ceremony in New York, and chaplains in Queensland.

    https://bridgetobrisbane.gofundraise.com.au/page/CaitlinWestaway Weekly Word from the car again. My mind can link things together that otherwise aren't related. On the anniversary of 9/11, I somehow went to school chaplains in Queensland. They have to fundraise most of their incomes, which means...

  5. Weekly Word 59 - response to Koraly Dimitriadis' opinion on sex for children.

    In response to the 'outrage' regarding the newly-released Sex For Children book, Koraly Dimitriadis writes that simply because children have the ability to access countless hours of pornographic material, they should read this book. I repeat myself when I say I have no idea why these people want...

  6. Weekly Word 58 - Yumi Stynes, Dr Melissa Kang, and Big W want to teach sex to children.

    Big W, popular department store in Australia, has decided that a book encouraging children to participate in sex, written by Yumi Stynes and Dr Melissa Kang, should be on their shelves. I will never understand why these people think that children ought to be taught explicit sexual content, tips,...

  7. Weekly Word 57 - Pride: a Christian teacher fired, 12 year olds changing gender, and gay penguins.

    One of the more strange weeks in Pride Month 2023. A teacher in New Zealand was deregistered for refusing to use the so-called 'preferred pronouns' of a student. Children as young as 12 are able to change their gender on their birth certificate without any treatment whatsoever. And apparently...

  8. Weekly Word 56: Pride Month part 3. A Christian who compromises is not a Christian.

    Pride month part 3. Jetstar can't make a plane depart or land on time, but in good news they have eliminated gender from their uniforms. A Christian doctor in the UK is sacked for refusing to play pronoun games in a simulated training exercise, and Christianity remains one of the only religions…

    more
  9. Weekly Word 55 - Pride month part 2: to apologise, or not to apologise? That is the question...

    Pride month part 2. Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass' apology to the 'Pride' community reminded me of Israel Folau and his staunch public adherence to his Christian faith. Bass apologised for his beliefs, and is now undergoing re-education. Sad, really. His apology is a sign of weakness…

  10. Weekly Word 54 - Pride month! Ready to be bombarded by rainbows?

    Pride month is almost upon us. Are you ready to be bombarded by rainbows? Or are you, as a Christian, willing to stand and reclaim the rainbow as a symbol of God's covenant to never again flood the earth?

  11. Weekly Word 53 - what is the role of government and should Christians automatically obey them?

    This week, particularly considering the actions of Daniel Andrews and Labor in Victoria openly opposing women's rights, flying the trans flag over parliament house, and hosting drag queen story hours, I question what the role of government should be. Should we, as Christians, obey at all costs?...

  12. Weekly Word 52 - Drag queens calling for protection and adults stripping for children. Mad.

    In what is becoming typical of Melbourne and Victoria under Daniel Andrews, a drag queen has called for more protection from authorities after cancelling hosting an event for children. And for some reason, Channel 4 in England thought adults stripping for children was a great idea for a…

    more
  13. Weekly Word 51 - Moira Deeming continued, plus tragedy in Nashville.

    Moira Deeming has been given a 9-month suspension from the Victorian LNP and their spineless leader John Pesutto. I guess women's rights aren't worth fighting for in Victoria.And the events in Nashville were tragic. Prayers to all involved....

  14. Weekly Word 50 - Liberal National Party are weak

    Welcome to my fiftieth video. Didn't think I'd ever get the courage to do one, let alone fifty. Women's rights event in Victoria, hijacked by a few Nazi's. Naturally, what does the media focus on? Yep, you guessed it. Not women's rights. And Victorian LNP leader John Pesutto needs to resign.

  15. Weekly Word 49 - Response to The Project and Rueben Kaye.

    Rueben Kaye makes a joke about Jesus on Channel Ten's The Project, and they issue a grovelling apology. The joke wasn't that bad, particularly since Kaye is gay and proud of it, and the apology was half-baked at best. Problem is, too many Christians for my liking started calling for The Project…

  16. Weekly Word 48 - rainbows, rainbows everywhere. Must be Mardi Gras time. Ask the Prime Minister...

    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made a very public showing of being the first Prime Minister to march in the Mardi Gras. It's a pity that this show of diversity, equity, inclusion etc has done little to curb the crime in Alice Springs. Similarly, Biden's $100 million to Ukraine has done little to...

  17. Weekly Word 47 - responding to trolls and opposing viewpoints

    I don't mind if people troll my socials. Fine by me. But there's a way that we as Christians need to respond. Firstly, the time for defence is over. Be offensive and challenge opposing viewpoints. Secondly, don't get caught in illogical circular fallacies and incorrect use of language....

  18. Weekly Word 46 - New York Islanders, Sonny Bill Williams, and Bethany Hamilton versus rainbows.

    What do the New York Islanders, Sonny Bill Williams, and Bethany Hamilton have in common? Ask the rainbow brigade, and they all have an irrational fear of trans/LGBTQI+ people. Also, book your tickets to Launceston Library's Drag Queen Story Hour. Link is below....

  19. Weekly Word 45 - Crowder v The Daily Wire

    Steven Crowder v The Daily Wire. We need to remember who our true enemies are, and maybe focus on them rather than on each other.

  20. Weekly Word 44 - Victoria and China.

    Daniel Andrews and Labor had an expected win in Victoria's state election. Not surprising, but perhaps surprising is the Australian federal government's lack of criticism so far of the Chinese government's obvious oppression of the Chinese citizens under the cover of a 'Covid zero' policy. Wonder...

  21. Weekly Word 43 - marriage equality five years on...

    November 15th, 2017, and Australia voted on the Marriage Equality bill. The result was in the affirmative. Five years on though, and we have seen increased encroachment on religion, religious freedoms, religious expression, religious institutions, and children are now the frontline of the…

  22. Weekly Word 42 - response to a Covid amnesty as a Christian

    Some have called for a Covid amnesty, seeking apologies from both sides. Yeah, I'm not buying it. Until there is genuine repentence, they are to me as Gentiles and tax collectors. www.christianityoutloud.com.au...

  23. Weekly Word 41 - government's response to Covid was wrong, and Jesus Christ proclaimed in Abu Dhabi.

    Two reports have slammed the government's response to Covid and the measures they implemented. No surprise that Daniel Andrews and Annastacia Palaszczuk lack the humility to admit they may have been wrong. Bringing me to my continued disappointment that churches nation-wide closed when a…

  24. Weekly Word 40 - reaction to John Oliver and his madness.

    John Oliver is British, trying to tell Americans how their country and states should run. He evidently has no idea what parenting is, and how he feels matters more than what is right or good for him....

  25. Weekly Word 39 - a bit of everything.

    Essendon Football Club hates Christians, David Koch is not a good interviewer, Russia bombs more of Ukraine including the German embassy, Germany sends air defence systems....but do not fear.

  26. Weekly Word 38 - 9/11 anniversary, and Queen Elizabeth passes away.

    Different events, different countries, both to a degree affected Australia. The 21st anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and we remember all the innocent lives lost. The people who went to work that day and never returned home. That, and Queen Elizabeth II, the monarch who reigned over the...

  27. Weekly Word 37 - from the car again this week. Williams v Court.

    Serena Williams retired this week, one win short of Margaret Court’s record. As great as Williams was, Court achieved more in less time, so deserves to be called the G.O.A.T. of women’s tennis. Also, feel free to publicly criticise any media outlets who continue the anti-Court anti-Christian...

  28. Weekly Word 36 - fight the good fight.

    Shout out to GETTR and free speech. Thousands march against EuroPride in Serbia, and Seattle offering sex-change surgery to children. What a contrasting world. www.christianityoutloud.com.au...

  29. Weekly Word 35 - the world's gone mad...

    Transgender inmate who impregnates two women attempts to cut 'her' testicle off, and a student in Melbourne, Victoria, identifies as a cat. Sure. No problems. All of that is fine and makes perfect sense... www.christianityoutloud.com.au...

  30. Weekly Word 34 - we must talk about mental health...

    Rough one this week. Two untimely losses, two families and extended communities in mourning. www.christianityoutloud.com.au https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/feeling-that-loss-paul-greens-brother-reveals-family-toll/news-story/5eb1b531e7f7d8ec023cef819c5af278...

  31. Weekly Word 33 - They're children. Please leave them alone.

    How can a four year old decide to have a gender reveal party? By having his closest family members enable the fantasy, that's how. It's quite heartbreaking. www.christianityoutloud.com.au...

  32. Weekly Word 32 - identity problems, but where is the church?

    Pride week, rainbow jerseys, inclusion and diversity, trans-detransition, and a UK gender clinic forced to close. Where is the church and why are they silent? Oh yeah. If you're an Episcopal church in New York City, you're hosting drag queens. www.christianityoutloud.com.au Sources:...

  33. Weekly Word 31 - just some thoughts on my way to church.

    Realised I wouldn't be available on Tuesday during my normal recording time, but I didn't want to leave it another week. So, you have some of my thoughts as I was driving to church. Remember, in the world but not of the world. Follow me on GETTR, Facebook, Minds, Locals, and Gab....

  34. Weekly Word 30 - Ah, Australian mainstream media. Why so dishonest?

    Since the overturning of Roe V Wade, media have gone bonkers yet especially in Australia they demonstrate that they have no idea what they're talking about. Follow me on GETTR, Facebook, Locals, Gab, and Minds. https://christianityoutloud.com.au/ Sources:...

  35. Weekly Word 29 - Roe V Wade overturned.

    Roe V Wade overturned. Good news for the sanctity of life and democratic processes, yet not here in Australia. Still, it would be nice if those championing 'women's rights' could define 'woman' for me. Follow me on GETTR, Facebook, Minds, Gab, and Locals. Website for all things:...

  36. Weekly Word 28 - Logic, coherence, science, common sense? No wonder the Greens removed her.

    Surprisingly, I agreed with comments made by a member of the Greens, but since they made common sense, powers that be removed her despite her election.

    They say to never talk about politics and religion. They do, but I don't listen. Bit of a look at the recent Australian federal election, what the next three years here may hold, and a brief look at the events in Texas. Follow me on GETTR, Facebook, Minds, Gab, and Locals....

  40. Weekly Word 24 - 11-5-22

    Straight to the point: abortion. I vehemently disagree with it, but instead of protesting and burning institutions to the ground for supporting it, I'd rather have ground-level one-on-one discussions as that's the best way to hear alternate opinions. Also, the Queensland government's abortion…
