Where are we going as a society? And will you be happy when we get there? Steve McAlpine is here to help you answer those questions.
If a Delorean time machine pulled up in front of your house - Back To The Future style - and someone offered to show you what the future would be like, would you be content with what you found? And if not, what could you do to change it? Thinking this through is what Steve McAlpine calls Delorean Philosophy.
Steve McAlpine is a well-known social commentator, respected theologian and popular author. Each week, he takes a crucial trend or event that's playing out in society now and asks, "Where is this taking us?"
Rather than just pontificating, Steve then provides practical steps listeners can take if they want to change the future. That's Delorean Philosophy.

Customer Reviews
An excellent podcast
This is a wonderful podcast. It is short, sharp, and clear.
Stephen always does what he says he will do (in the show) and not only is his content clear, it is immensely thoughtful and practical.
Highly recommended, no matter what your faith background is!
Grace Under Fire
Stephen speaks clearly about the new paradigm Christians find themselves in: rapid social change with bankrupt social capital in the Christianity coffers. He draws upon secular insight to expose that the real deficit is in the wisdom of this age. I’ve appreciated how he calls us to cast our minds afresh at the wonder of the person and work of Jesus…and all in 17 minutes!
Ideological Garbage
The podcast is based on selected anecdotes being used to push an agenda. There is no attempt to lppk at trends statistically. If you like the agenda you may feel it affirming, If you don’t it is tedious
