CUI Podcast

Whether it’s choosing what to have for dinner, whether or not to buy what’s been in your basket for the last week or choosing which modules you want to take this year, we all make decisions everyday. Some big, some small. Some of those bigger choices point towards the question : what is my unique purpose?

Join Tiwani and Olivia as they dive deeper into this question using our Flux Resource. They talk about how they find decision making and how what Paul says in Philippians can help us as we discover our unique purpose.

This podcast works alongside our ‘FLUX’ resource, a devotional book designed for School Leavers and Freshers to support them through this season of change (or flux). It walks through Philippians, and also includes some articles to help point them to Jesus in this season. FLUX is a completely free resource thanks to our financial supporters.

‘What’s your name?’, ‘What course are you studying?’, ‘What are you up to on the weekends?’. Questions you’ve probably asked and answered hundreds of times within the first few weeks of university. All these questions point back to one thing - who are you?

Join Olivia and Tiwani as they explore our true identity using the first section of our resource FLUX. They work through the joy of our true identity being found in Jesus,

what this means as you start university but also how this impacts how we interact with and share Jesus with those around us.

'Purpose' is a new podcast series from CUI, seeking to equip church leaders & student workers to support student outreach in their context. 

In Episode 1, Glen Scrivener joins us as we discuss how Christianity is present in the very fibres of what has defined western culture both throughout history, and today. We will be unpacking how sharing Jesus brings fresh understanding to our culture and context. 

This week Glen Scrivener has been helping students in Belfast answer the question 'what does it mean to be human?'

In this one off Q&A Podcast, two students (Robyn and Jonny) sit down with Glen for an extended Q&A on hypocrisy, Freedom, Suffering and Value. 

In this special episode, Alison Williams is joined by Glen Scrivener, Director and evangelist at Speak Life.

Many people watched on in shock and horror as news concerning apologist Ravi Zacharias broke headlines in February.

Ravi was a pioneer in modern day apologetics, a gifted Bible teacher, and the esteemed figurehead of a well-respected global ministry that has helped thousands in their Christian faith over the last decade. Not surprisingly, then, when the news came out about the scandalous goings on in his life behind closed doors, believers were left feeling hurt and disappointed at how such a seemingly mighty man of God could fall so hard.

Ravi is not the first, and will unfortunately not be the last to have this story.

Glen and Alison discuss how we as students, leaders and the wider church can rise up in disappointment, seize the opportunity to grab hold of truth and put our ultimate hope on the perfect author of faith.

CUI Chair Jim Crookes is joined by world renowned author and social critic Os Guinness, for a special episode on The CUI Podcast on the Christian and politics.

The world watched in shock at the events that unfolded on January 6th outside the Capitol building in Washington DC. Protesters held signs that said “Jesus Saves” as they rampaged through one of the greatest symbols of democracy in the world.

In both Ireland and the US, evangelicals are confused and dismayed by the astonishing speed with which their culture has rejected its Judeo–Christian roots. Some are tempted to fight politically in defence of a Christian Nation; at the same time, tens of thousands of young adults from evangelicals are moving into agnosticism or liberal post–evangelical communities.

How far should Christians get involved in politics? How should we engage effectively with a post–Christian world in a way that honours the Lord Jesus Christ?

Ever felt massively misunderstood?
