In this episode of Living Theology, we explore one of the most crucial questions in the Christian–Muslim dialogue:
Has God’s Word been preserved — and can we trust it?
Through archaeology, manuscript evidence, and historical scholarship, we examine the reliability of the Bible and the claims of the Qur’an.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls to the early New Testament papyri, the evidence overwhelmingly affirms that the Bible has been faithfully transmitted — its message unchanged for thousands of years.
This episode contrasts the incarnational revelation of Scripture with the mechanical dictation of the Qur’an, revealing how God speaks not only in words but through history, flesh, and grace.

In this episode of Living Theology, we confront one of the greatest divides between Christianity and Islam — the question of the cross.
The Qur’an declares that Jesus was not crucified, that it only appeared so.
The Bible, history, and reason declare otherwise.
Through Scripture, ancient testimony, and historical evidence from Roman, Jewish, and secular sources, we explore why the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the best-attested events in antiquity — and why it is essential to salvation itself.
Discover how the cross reveals the justice, mercy, and love of God — not as defeat, but as divine victory.
The cross is not a myth. It is the moment when eternity touched time, and grace rewrote human destiny.

Is God a solitary being, eternally alone, as Islam teaches?
Or is He one divine essence existing eternally in three Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — as revealed in Scripture?
Join us as we explore the biblical, theological, and historical foundations of the Trinity, revealing that Christian monotheism is not divided but fulfilled in divine relationship.
Through Scripture, reason, and early historical evidence, we uncover how God’s oneness is not isolation but perfect love in eternal communion.
This episode dismantles common misunderstandings between Christianity and Islam, showing that the God of the Bible is not distant, but near — not silent, but speaking — not alone, but love itself.
“Before creation, God was not lonely. He is love.”

In this episode of Living Theology, we explore one of the most profound questions in human history: Who is Jesus of Nazareth?
Was He merely a prophet or moral teacher — or truly God in human form?
Through Scripture, historical analysis, and secular evidence, we journey through the biblical foundations and extra-biblical testimonies that affirm the divinity of Christ.
From the Gospel of John to the letters of Paul, from Roman historians like Tacitus and Pliny to Jewish sources such as Josephus, the case unfolds that the earliest Christians worshipped Jesus as Lord — not centuries later, but from the very beginning.
This is not mythology; it is history.
It is theology meeting evidence, faith meeting reason — and humanity meeting its Creator.
🎧 Tune in to hear a reasoned, reverent, and historical defence of the confession:
“Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

In this episode of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker explores what happens when faith and technology meet in the sanctuary. Can artificial intelligence ever reflect the values of the Church, or does it risk replacing the human and spiritual heart of ministry? Drawing on theology, philosophy, and spiritual formation, Brendon invites us to ask deeper questions about discipleship, attention, and the work of the Holy Spirit in a digital age.
With reflections on embodiment, presence, and grace, this episode challenges us to see beyond the algorithms and rediscover the Spirit who cannot be programmed — the living presence who forms, renews, and guides the people of God.
Tune in for a fresh, accessible conversation that blends theology, technology, and everyday faith.

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”
This single declaration from John the Baptist captures the heart of the gospel. From Abraham’s altar to the Passover in Egypt, from Isaiah’s Suffering Servant to the cross of Christ, the image of the Lamb weaves through all of Scripture.
In Jesus, the Lamb becomes both sacrifice and sovereign — the one who conquers not by force, but through self-giving love. The Lamb who was slain now reigns upon the throne, and His blood not only redeems humanity but restores creation itself.
To behold the Lamb is to behold the very heart of God — holy love revealed through humble obedience, divine power expressed through sacrificial grace.

What if attention is more than focus — what if it’s love?
In Episode 2 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker explores the sacred art of paying attention — to God, to one another, and to the moment right in front of us.
We live in a distracted world, always scrolling, swiping, and hurrying. But God still speaks in whispers.
This episode is an invitation to slow down and rediscover that stillness is not emptiness — it’s encounter.

“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him.” — John 1:10 (ESV)
The Creator walked among His creation — and the world failed to see Him.
From Abraham’s recognition under the oaks of Mamre, to Simeon and Anna’s joy in the temple, Scripture reveals a tension between divine presence and human blindness.
Christ’s words before Pilate still echo today: “My kingdom is not of this world.”
In an age of distraction and self-made kingdoms, do we truly recognize Him?
He is still here. The Word still speaks. The Light still shines.

Episode 1 — “When the Glow Took Over”
There was a time when evenings were filled with laughter — until the glow of screens began to take their place.

This is not about fear or rejection, but redemption and presence — a call for families and churches to reclaim attention, wonder, and worship in a distracted age.

Glory is not a distant light to be admired, but a divine fire shared.
In Christ, humanity is not only forgiven but transformed — made radiant through the indwelling Spirit.
The believer’s journey is a passage “from glory to glory,” where holiness becomes beauty and faith becomes light.
“The same glory that shone on Christ’s face now shines within His people.”
🎧 Listen to Living Theology with Brendon Naicker — where truth leads to transformation, and theology becomes worship.

Glory (doxa) and worship are not separate realities — they are the heartbeat of divine life.
Glory is the radiance of God turned outward; worship is that radiance turned back toward its source.
In Christ, the revelation of glory and the response of worship meet perfectly — the Son manifests the Father’s splendour and returns it in obedient love, completing the eternal circle of glory.
The Church, joined to Christ by the Spirit, now lives within this rhythm of revelation and response. Every act of adoration, every life surrendered in faith, becomes a participation in divine glory.
Worship is not performance — it is participation; not self-expression, but self-offering.
“We are not spectators of glory, but participants in the radiant exchange of divine love.”
🎧 Listen to Living Theology with Brendon Naicker — where truth leads to worship, and worship leads to glory.

In Christ, the story of creation’s lost glory finds its restoration.
He, the true Image and new Adam, gathers a Bride — the Church — and clothes her in splendour not her own. Her beauty is not borrowed but bestowed; her light not independent but reflected from the Lamb who loves her.
The Church’s glory is therefore cruciform — radiant through sacrifice, adorned through faithfulness, purified through grace. Her splendour is participation, not possession. For as Paul writes, “Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her… that He might present her to Himself in splendour.”
Here, glory is restored: the divine presence once lost in Eden now dwelling within the redeemed community. Worship becomes transformation, and holiness becomes the reflection of divine beauty.
“The Bride’s glory is the light of her Bridegroom made visible in her.”
🎧 Listen to Living Theology with Brendon Naicker — where faith seeks understanding, and theology becomes adoration.
