This week on Politics in the Pulpit, Geoffrey is chatting to Rev. Ken Benjamin.

He is a leading voice in the whole-life discipleship movement. As Director of Church Relationships at LICC, Ken is responsible for leading LICC’s church-facing work, helping fuel a sustainable whole-life disciplemaking culture in the UK church. He is married to Sue, and they have two adult children. In his free time, he enjoys playing golf and tennis as well as time away in his VW camper.

They discuss the lectionary readings for Sunday 26th February:
Genesis 2: 15-17; 3: 1-7

Romans 2: 12-19

Matthew 4: 1-11

Psalm 32
