“Breaching the Chaos of the Church” is the phrase we use regarding the Body of Christ to acknowledge that there is both a problem - a gargantuan one - and a stunningly blessed Hope. If you’re fed up, sick and tired of “church” and “christian spirituality” - and we expect you are - and if you’re also gagging for the Coming King - and we hope you are - this podcast will be a timely prescription for you.

    When young people are constantly told this lie by pastors (w/ Nick & Mairi)

    Dear Church,  Greetings to you all! You can read a short blog preview for this podcast here and my message to Justin Welby and HTB is here. OUR STATEMENT & CONFESSION OF FAITH IS HERE. When Esther chapter 4 and verse 14 is used to encourage young people in large gatherings, how is it that church pastors often fall short? Esther was brought to the kingdom for such a time as she was; but she first had to repent from her cowardice and silence.

    CHURCH LEADER VACANCY: person specification (feat. Nick & Mairi)

    Dear Church  Greetings to you all! If you’d prefer, you can watch the video version of this podcast here. The brokenness of the carnal recruitment processes of the world is reflected in the recruitment processes (and adverts) of the Church. What do we include in our person specification for a church leader? We include at least these 14 points in our personal specification for a church leader: 1. A man who is able to describe personal cost associated with their stand for the Gospel; 2. A man who is able to describe personal repentance and specific examples of their change of mind recently; 3. A man who is able to describe relationships as well as estrangements; 4. A man who is able to describe their urgent burden for the lost; 5. A man who is NOT popular with everyone; 6. A man who even has enemies; 7. A man who has been ostracised; 8. A man whose stand for doctrinal clarity has been personally costly; 9. A man who can describe turning down an opportunity to alleviate pain, ultimately declining out of conviction; 10. A man who is calling the Church to repentance as a Body and not only individual members; 11. A man who is willing to relocate, to be disrupted, including family/children/job; 12.  A man whose testimony is radically different post-2020 cf. pre-2020; 13. A man who sings/praises God every day; 14. A man who weeps for the state the Church and the glory of His Name.

    Special Christmas Devotional AND a spoken word performance (w/ Nick & Mairi)

    Dear Church  Greetings to you all! If you’d prefer, you can watch the video versions of this podcast here and here. This Christmas we focus on Luke chapter one and Isaiah chapter 9 — how many Christmas cards have you seen with Isaiah 9:5 on it? We hazard to guess…none. In this special podcast episode, you can listen to a short devotional about Zechariah’s radical transformation of faith, followed by Mairi and Nick performing a spoken word monologue/pastiche, (under glitzy Christmas city lights), inspired by  these two chapters.

    Q&A With Pastors & Elders | God Closed Church (Two Baskets of Figs)

    Dear Church  This is the video HERE to watch before listening to this podcast. This is the Q&A session with pastors and elders following episode four of a new six-part YouTube series in which Mairi is reading out our 2024 book, God Closed Church. (All info about the book here).  How do church pastors and elders typically think about the all-important church closures of March 2020? Where are the fault lines that result from a lack of wisdom and 'prophetic knowledge'? "Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint..." (Proverbs 29:18) "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children." (Hosea 4:6) Here is the first video.  Yours in Christ,  Nick & Mairi Franks PS Our main giving page is here.

    Unite the Kingdom: Waterloo Bridge or the Bridge of Khazad-dûm? 👹🇬🇧

    Dear Church  WATCH this podcast here. Gandalf said, "Swords are no more use here!" on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring to emphasize that the creature they were facing, Durin's Bane, was a foe beyond their collective skill and physical weapons. He meant that their swords were useless against this powerful being, a demon of shadow and flame, and that they needed to flee, not fight. Following on from the significant events in London over the last weekend, you can read Nick's blog article (and see related videos) here.  As we sat down this evening to read and pray, Nick was prompted to record this impromptu episode of the podcast to appeal to 'all who will hear' about the dangers of a great British confluence — that of the apostate British churches blending with the vast unsaved/unchurched population of the nation. It is surely a Corinthian river of spiritual lukewarmness. What of this juncture in world and church history really? Have we not profoundly underestimated the pivotal importance of clarifying true doctrine from false? What of this place of reformatory opportunity that we are standing at? Do we not need a new confession? If you would like to help us to begin a new house church, please see here. Yours in Christ,  Nick & Mairi Franks PS Our main giving page is here.

    How Does AI See the Future of the Church? (w/ Nick & Mairi)

    Dear Church  Following on from the second episode of a new six-part YouTube series in which we are reading out our 2024 book, God Closed Church, this is a follow-up conversation about the importance of recognising the illogical place of 'agree to disagree' that the Church comes to on matters of eternal importance.
