Back in October of 2012 a meeting was held in The Hub to talk about how CVM could equip and resource men across the country and further afield with resources to help them share their faith. The Demolition Squad was born that day. Tasked with the objective of providing good answers to tough questions we […]
“For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:19–20, ESV) […]
Recently, we’ve been looking at what we’ve coined as The Stephen Fry syndrome – the idea of hiding behind the views of people more famous/clever/socially acceptable than yourself. Whatever our worldview, it’s easy to lazily hold up as truth things that the glitterati have said, rather than engage with the questions at hand. Below is […]
It’s the very thing that most Christians are least confident about and yet it’s the number one way we get into sharing our faith. “Hey you’re a Christian what do you think about..?” “How can you believe when..?” I’m sure you’ve been there!

Jon and I studied together for a period and he’s since returned to […]
We’ve all been there. The conversation is flowing, everyone is engaging, and things are moving along, well, nicely.

When sharing our faith with our friends, our colleagues, or our family, it’s helpful to have a few things in mind […]
“You only believe in God because you want someone to be there. You want your life to have meaning and purpose, you want the comfort of knowing someone is in control of it all. In short, your faith is simply a psychological crutch.” Have you come across some form of this argument? This common objection […]
There was something very satisfactory about watching the Lions blow away the Barbarians in Hong Kong in 2013. It was an encouraging start to the forthcoming tour of Australia and provoked a few headaches both for the Lions selectors as well as Aussie defence coaches, who ultimately failed to cope with the threats the boys from home […]

Do you have a favourite book that we haven’t listed? Let us know about it, leave us a comment. Mere Christianity C. […]
We love websites and online articles, and if you’re reading this, you might just like them too. For accessible starting-points for various tough questions, the world wide web is a great medium to host Christian Apologetics content. Over the next three weeks we want to highlight three different sources of useful training that will help […]
