For the return of season 6, Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen plunge listeners into the heart of a two-thousand-year-old tradition in their efforts to understand what it might have to contribute to spiritual growth today.

Lent is a period of prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter that has been practiced since apostolic times.

Until recently it wasn't that popular among Evangelicals, but more believers are beginning to observe this 40 days of reflection - including guest Dr. Ros Clarke who has just released a devotional for Lent.

Forty Women : Unseen women of the Bible from Eden to Easter considers the historical truth that the first witnesses to the resurrection were not men, but women - and without women, the Easter story would not have happened at all.

The WADR duo then discusses whether Bible-believing Christians should be doing something that doesn’t appear in The Bible, and finish with a five-star film often watched at this time.

Help internally displaced people in Africa!

Disasters and conflicts have led to a record number of over 75 million internally displaced people, or IDPs, around the world. IDPs are people who have been forced to flee their homes but have not crossed international borders.

Almost half of all IDPs - more than the population of Australia and New Zealand combined - are in sub-Saharan Africa.

Most of the displaced have left everything behind: their homes, belongings, and livelihoods. They urgently need food, shelter, clothing, and trauma counselling. So Anglican Aid has launched a Forced to Flee Emergency Appeal to provide essential aid to IDPs in Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond. This aid will be distributed by local churches, who are sacrificially providing for the needs of the displaced, and pointing them to the God who is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
