Noel has been a worship leader and songwriter for many years. He and his wife Tricia have written many modern worship hymns and songs, such as ”All Heaven Declares” and ”You Laid Aside Your Majesty”. In these podcasts, he talks about his own spiritual journey and his perspective on the Christian culture. Through honesty and humour he shares his beliefs, and questions; maybe in the process killing some of our religious sacred cows.

    Mentors - the unsung heroes

    This podcast was inspired by reading about an Anglican clergyman who mentored many influential people within the UK church. Maybe an unsung hero. It got me thinking about the importance of being mentored and mentoring others.

    Penal Substitution!!!

    Martin Scott and I have just recorded with Martin Purnell (of ‘Off Grid Christianity’ fame) our fourth Christmas special. It features the normal bizarre quiz in which no-one seems to know who wins. The episode will come out some time around Christmas. In one of the ‘off the record’ moments, the conversation somehow got on to ‘penal substitution’. Anyway Martin Purnell has saved it as a stand-alone recording. This short podcast will challenge the normal ‘evangelical’ way of thinking about the Gospel. The Gospel is not an angry God who demands that someone - Jesus Christ - had to pay the price of our sin! The Gospel is reconciliation to a loving God.

    Friends or Enemies

    In this podcast, I talk about the moment I shared a potentially controversial opinion at a major event in Germany. Thankfully, it was in the days before social media. So perhaps I had a lucky escape from receiving negative feedback!

    I Almost Choked On My Coffee!

    How out of touch has the Church of England leadership become, when it is expending energy on debating what type of bread and wine is permissible for communion?

    Scary Stories

    In this podcast I talk about how the scary Bible stories I heard in Sunday School, gave me a distorted image of God. The God I follow today, is not the God I followed as a child!
