The Adrian Warnock Christian Podcast

Christmas is all about Jesus. He was the baby born to live, die and rise again for us all. He raises us with him, sharing his life with us, and will come back for us one day. Sometimes the best presents are the ones you give yourself. Why not buy a copy of the updated Raised With Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything , Now in a new cover with expanded content and a study guide. Available...

In this interview I sit down with Dr Mark Mayfield to talk about his new book The Mental Health Handbook for Ministry. We explore how Christians can engage with #MentalHealth wisely, how pastors can offer real #PastoralCare without overreaching, and why presence matters more than platitudes. If you care about #FaithAndWellbeing, this conversation will encourage and equip you. This is a public epis...

This is a sermon preached by my grandfather I believe in the 1960s. He was a tent preacher with the Counties Evangelists, based in Suffolk working with the Brethren. He has a large heritage of Christian descendants. You can hear his sermon here or read more about him: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/adrianwarnock/2008/05/edwin-millington-warnock-founder-of/ This is a public episode. If you would lik...

Both presidential candidates are routinely described by the other party as being a threat to the existence of democracy.  Why are we surprised that someone took it upon themselves to try and remove one of them? It is time for the political temperature in the USA to be turned down. The level of hatred and division on both sides of the political divide is way too high at the moment. The attempt on T...

Adrian talks with John Stevens , a leading UK christian. We spoke about servant leadership, a phrase used by Sir Keir Starmer but which ought to be deeply rooted in Church leadership. The mature Christian or pastor ought not to be remote, strong, entrepreneurial and untouchable but rather someone who knows what it is to have human weaknesses and go through human sufferings, and yet to find Christ...

The response to  my series on divorce and remarriage  and Dave Bish's sermon have been hugely encouraging.  We thought it might be interesting to have a podcast style conversation about it.  I hope this will be helpful for you if you are going through divorce right now, if you did so years ago, or if you would like to learn how to better support others.  What does the Bible say about divorce a...

Ebisidor Rasaki Nabena and Adrian Warnock talk about what it is like to be helping Nathaniel Nabena prepare for his forthcoming life saving stem cell transplant. His faith and hope are tangible but also based in the reality of the challenges they still face as a family.  The many miracles to date inspire confidence in the future.  I trust this will also inspire your hope in whatever challenges you...

Thank you to every single one of you who have donated, liked and shared. Don’t stop now. We do need to make sure that there is a buffer (in case he needs more treatment than hoped) and I know the family is...

Nathaniel Nabena who is a nine year old who found himself in the right place at the right time when a very rare and very aggressive form of blood cancer attacked him.  Just 100 children a year are diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) a year in the UK. Imagine the odds that one of them should be a young boy who just happened to be in the country visiting to get a prosthetic eye fitted for a...

Right now 1 in 30 Londoners are infective for COVID19 and the NHS here is in crisis. What do we know about how the body fights this disease. Why do some people end up in hospital?  How can a blood saturation monitor help you? What do we know about antibodies? How anti Covid spike protein antibodies are key to understanding the vaccine, monoclonal antibodies and also why some people with impaired i...

This second discussion with our friendly physicist atheist was still not a slugfest (you can also see part one) . We both intended to show that we can disagree agreeably. By the end I felt that in Billy Whizz I had a new friend. We spoke about absolute truth, morality, hope, and suffering. So covered loads of grounds. I feel I understood his perspective and I hope he understood mine. It is sad how...

This episode is a discussion with a new friend I have met as a result of my recent COVID19 article.  Billy Whizz (Richard Harvey) is an atheist with a physics degree described by a mutual facebook friend as a seeker after truth. Billy asked a couple of questions in the comments section including whether I was really implying only Christians could be scientists (I wasn't of course!) And it seemed t...

This episode is about   Christians and truth-telling about COVID19. The response has been very encouraging.  It seems that many people share my concerns about how some Christians have been sharing things that are simply not true about COVID19 conspiracy theories. One point of clarification - I have since learnt that this is not an American-only problem. There are indeed some UK Christians sharing...

A very difficult childhood. Bereaved of her father at the age of nine. Taken into care. A teenage rebel. Bereaved again of her beloved sister when a young mum. Ten years of severe chronic pain due to a degenerative back condition requring multiple operations. Damaged beyond repair?  Lost her faith? Absolutely not! Listen to this interview and prepare to be inspired as you face your own emotional c...

Something special is happening here in Britain. Similar reports are coming in from around the world.  I never imagined I would be able to type the next sentence: Since lock down 1 in 4 British people have attended an online service. That is an astonishing figure. And if you look at young adults the proportion is even higher at one in three! All this was reported in The Guardian which is not exactl...

Listen to this if you need a bit of hope from one of the World's Leading Experts in CLL. Just how risky is catching COVID19 for blood cancer patients?   Should we be stuck indoors alone for many more months? Can we begin to cautiously emerge? How do we wiegh the very real risk from COVID-19, against the very real costs of shielding which include risks to people's health and even life. Prof Peter H...

Watch this friendly and easy to understand two part interview   with one of the top specialist doctors in the World on this form of blood cancer. Prof Hillmen explained why treatment is often not offered initially, how that can be very worrying for patients, and how they decide when it is time to consider treatment. He explained that there are currently two strategies: to try and aim to get rid of...

Grabbed some time with Andrew Schorr from Patient Power. Was great to hear about how he was one of the first cohort of patients to be treated with FCR chemotherapy for CLL, a form of blood cancer, a couple of decades ago. He hadn't expected to survive his Blood Cancer this long, nor to get a second one and be successfully treated for that too.    This is a story of hope.  And a story of a man conv...

Dr Brian Koffman is a modern day pioneer, married to Patty who is the co-founder with him of perhaps one of the most remarkable patient groups around CLL Society Inc.. It is an absolute privilege to have both of them frequenting our little corner of the web, and even more so that he agreed to be interviewed (often Brian is the one doing the interviewing). The conversation was deep and rich and you...
