I have been a Christian for 18 years and for the last 10 years I have been in dialogue with college students and high school students about the Gospel and I have written articles, sharing my thoughts on a sundry of topics with a diverse audience. These opportunities have served as a platform for sharing thoughtful perspectives on the Gospel from a Christian World view. With this podcast therefore, my aim is to continue the conversation as I share with you, my views on how being a Christian shapes all of life.

I found it Necessary: How does God speak to us
This series of episodes (Part 1 of 3) is a response to the recent issue of the death of members of a Church in St. James. These members were killed through what seemed to be ritualistic killing, which has been very disturbing to the Jamaican public. It has also sparked numerous discussions and my hope is that these episodes will serve others to think critically.

Introduction to Worldviews: How we make sense of the world
We ask questions inherently for multiple reasons throughout life. In this episode the reasons for three main questions of 1) Who am I 2) Where did I come from and 3) Why am I here are asked as we aim to make sense of the world. We explore these questions, not to answer it right away but to affirm their place in the pursuit or discovery of Truth.
