Tune in in your car on DAB, on the web at jamboradio.co.uk or download the Jambo! Radio app on your phone – the show is live from 10 am to 11 am on Saturdays. Exploring Faith is an open conversation exploring cultural relevant topics about the Church, the bible and the Christian life.
What Topics Do We Discuss?
- Apologetics – Exploring objections to the Christian faith, especially questions that black Christians might wrestle with.
- Church Related Subjects – This covers areas of the Christian life that perhaps are not explored much in teaching in Churches as well as issues within the church itself.
- Culture – A discussion of relevant cultural issues, especially pertaining to the Afro-Caribbean community in Scotland (and UK) from a Christian perspective.
