Podcast Canterbury terbaik (2024)

Is doubt the opposite of faith? In Scripture, people are both challenged and commended for their doubt. The key question is, “What direction is your doubt taking you in?” Today we explore the topic of the purpose and meaning of doubt. We see that unbelief, not doubt, is the opposite of faith. And we examine how faith and doubt are actually family m…

John MacDonald: Don't panic about the police mental health call-out changes 6:26

Play Pause

1d ago6:26

6:26

From today, the police don’t intend to respond to every mental health callout. But I don’t think we’re going to see any major difference. I’ll tell you why shortly,. And it’s based on an experience I had on Friday night. So if you’re worried about the police saying “not our department” if you call up, as of today, about someone having a mental heal…

John MacDonald: We need to ditch this obsession with uni degrees 5:32

4d ago5:32

5:32

I didn’t go to university and there’s a bit of a dad joke that I trot out about that now and again. I say that I’m a student of life, in no rush to graduate. So maybe I’m coming at this with a biased view of the world, but I agree with this academic at the University of Canterbury who is saying today that universities have just become factories tha…

Politics Friday with Vanessa Weenink and Tracey McLellan: User-pays approach to health, single-patient rooms in hospitals, US Election 19:51

19:51

Today on Politics Friday, John MacDonald was joined by National’s Vanessa Weenink and Labour’s Tracey McLellan for a chat about the latest political happenings. The agenda today had a bit of a health skew, as they discussed whether it might be time for a user-pays approach to health and if single-patient hospital rooms are the way of the future. An…

John MacDonald: Mike King was right. But he was wrong too 5:32

5d ago5:32

5:32

It’s Gumboot Friday tomorrow and the guy behind it, Mike King, seems to have put his foot in it. Although, I’m a little bit torn on this one. So what’s happened is we’ve got this charity fashion show being held in Dunedin to raise money for suicide prevention and mental health awareness. And, like most events, the organisers wanted to serve alcohol…

John MacDonald: What's so wrong with slower traffic outside schools? 5:23

6d ago5:23

5:23

If I say to you “30 kph speed limit area”, chances are you can think of one. I can think of one straight away - on the southern end of Colombo Street in Christchurch. You’re cruising along at 50 kph and then —bang— it drops down to 30. No schools on that stretch of Colombo. There’s a school on one of the side streets, but it goes down to 30 —and it…

John MacDonald: Hi-de-hi campers! Christchurch's campervan clanger 4:36

7d ago4:36

4:36

When I heard that a campervan park is going to be up and running in central Christchurch, near Latimer Square —possibly in time for this summer— my first thought was that I’m glad I haven’t spent more than $500,000 buying an apartment around there. Not even the developer’s reassurances that campervan people aren’t “yahoo types” made me feel any mor…

9d ago27:48

27:48

“Come to Jesus and life will be easy and free of trouble!” Well, that’s what we might want to believe, but the truth is that faith in Jesus is not an escape from troubles. In fact, a common answer to prayer is for Jesus to assure us that He is with us in our troubles. Today, we explore some Bible verses that describe the fact the troubles in life w…

John MacDonald: How do you feel about parenting lessons in school? 6:27

11d ago6:27

6:27

“There for the grace of God goes I.” We generally say it when something bad and we know that it could just as easily happen to us, and anyone who is a parent should say that whenever they hear nightmare stories about kids being abused by their parents or caregivers. I say that not just as a by-stander looking on. I say that as someone with three ki…

18:45

John MacDonald was joined by National’s Hamish Campbell and Labour’s Reuben Davidson for Politics Friday. On the agenda today was yet another case of Oranga Tamariki failing to act on information pertaining to child welfare – is it time to start parenting courses to help with the stress of raising children? A petition has launched, looking at banni…

John MacDonald: Performance pay's no bonus for the public sector 5:15

12d ago5:15

5:15

I feel really uncomfortable about the idea of public sector bosses getting performance pay. Not that the Government is going to care too much about that, because it’s confirmed that, from the middle of next year, that’s what’s going to be happening. It’s unclear to me at this stage whether it’s going to mean the heads of all our government departme…

After saying just the other week that I don’t agree with central Government taking over local councils when things go pear-shaped, I’ve changed my tune. Slightly. And I’ve got an idea to run past you. First, though, can you imagine what it must feel like being a mayor and getting the phone call from the Beehive saying ‘you’re doing a pretty cruddy …

Labour Leader Chris Hipkins joined John MacDonald for their regular catchup. On today’s agenda: Andrew Bayly is in hot water for his “offensive comments” during a Ministerial visit – what are his party’s thoughts on the situation? Is it time to have central government reporting on local councils to mitigate the chances of what’s happening in Wellin…

John MacDonald: Does the government really think this is going to work? 4:45

14d ago4:45

4:45

Sometimes you just have to resort to cliches, because there are times when there’s just no other way to say it. Or no better way to say it. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over-and-over and expecting different results. That’s how I feel about the Government strengthening its Three Strikes law to make it easier to keep repeat offe…

You can call me a nerd, if you want to. But I reckon there is nothing like the performance of walking down to your local polling booth on voting day and casting your vote. The way we do every three years when we’re electing a Government. In the general election. There’s no confusion. It’s well-publicised. You can do early voting, if you want to or …

“Heroes of Faith” Hebrews 11:3–16, 32-39 (Stephen Field) 33:19

16d ago33:19

33:19

Stories of faith in the Bible are often simplified to a narrative of a person experiencing surprising things and believing for crazy things in the face of great opposition. But this is not how faith is most commonly shown in the pages of the Bible. So what does faith look like? Today we explore Hebrews 11 and those people listed as great examples o…

What’s the thing you hear people say time-and-time again about the way we seemed to just get on with the job of building infrastructure back in, say, the 1970s? What’s the most common thing you hear people say about that? They say “our forebears had the foresight”. And that’s what I hope Christchurch city councillors have when they decide whether o…

A blow to South Canterbury as Timaru's Smithfield meat-works is confirmed to be closing. The entire nearly 140-year-old site will close by December's end. Alliance Group's told staff they'll be offered re-deployment at its other processing plants, where possible. Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey told John MacDonald that he's gutted. He says it'll impact …

John MacDonald: ACC is in desperate need of treatment 6:34

Here’s my perception of ACC: some people get ACC pay-outs at the drop of a hat and others have to fight, for what can be years. And it’s the fighting bit that seems to be biting ACC on the backside, with the news that it’s gone from having a $900 million surplus last year to a $7.2 billion deficit this year. It’s saying one of the reasons for that …

Christchurch's mayor is keeping mum about seeking re-election. First time mayor Phil Mauger took the reins in 2022 after narrowly beating former health boss David Meates. City Councillor Sara Templeton has announced her bid for mayor a year out from local body elections. Mauger wouldn’t confirm to John MacDonald whether he's decided to run. He says…

The highest court in the land is too big for its boots. That’s what the guy who runs the New Zealand Initiative think tank is saying today. Roger Partridge is his name - he’s also a lawyer and King’s Counsel. And he says the Supreme Court needs to be reined-in because he thinks it’s trying to re-write the laws made by Parliament. One of the example…

John MacDonald: Less eyebrow raising, more glad-eye for foreign investors 4:59

I think we need to get over ourselves here in New Zealand when it comes to foreign investment. And it looks like we’re going to have to get over ourselves - whether we want to or not - with the Government’s plan to make it easier for foreign investors to buy New Zealand companies and properties. The way I’d describe it is that, at the moment, the G…

There are a lot of weird things in the world, but one of the weirdest would have to be the international drivers licence. You know, you’re licensed to drive in one country, but a little bit of paper lets you drive in any country. It doesn’t matter that you know next to nothing about the road rules or the driving conditions. But tell that to the Gov…

Labour leader Chris Hipkins claims the Government's failure to compensate for the nurses’ pay rise has driven Health New Zealand's budget blowout. The agency's finances jumped from an expected half-a-billion dollar surplus to a $1.4 billion deficit in April. It's now expected to blow out to $1.76 billion. Chris Hipkins told John MacDonald that ther…

John MacDonald: Let's not keep running down our defence force 6:20

I think we need to see the New Zealand Navy ship sinking as a wake-up call. Not the sinking itself, but what it’s going to mean for our Navy and our wider defence force. The fact that we’re probably going to lose a truckload of money because of the ship being under-insured isn’t an issue for me and I wasn’t overly surprised when Finance Minister Ni…

What does faith look like when put into action? Depending on what Church tradition you were raised in will shape how you see the interaction between faith and works. For some of us, faith means waiting and not working for our relief. For others, our actions are all that count and can be separated from faith. In our reading today, James puts faith a…

The Government's fast track legislation is shaping up to be a real cluster. Especially, in Greater Christchurch. I think some of the projects it wants to get going here sooner rather than later are making its new legislation more ram-raid than fast track. So it's released details of 149 projects that will be included in the Bill which, it says, is …

She demanded it because of the financial pressures the council and ratepa…

John MacDonald: The anti-food truck argument doesn't make sense to me 5:43

I think the hospitality outfits trying to shut down the Arts Centre’s plans to have more food trucks on-site need to pull their heads in. Annabelle Turley from the Central City Business Association has made the bold demand that the council pull its funding from the Arts Centre if the food truck thing goes ahead. This all goes back to the city counc…

Christchurch's Mayor isn't swayed either way on a clash between city hospitality and food trucks. The Arts Centre Trust is applying for up to 33 food trucks to operate on the site.

Today we start a new series on the topic of Faith. To begin, we ask a simple but profound question: “What is Faith?” Faith is often defined by what it is not: not rational, not logical, not reasonable! But is this true?
