What does it take to bring Christian ideas to the public square in a way that’s winsome and credible? Our speaker, Sheridan Voysey, is a presenter of Pause for Thought, an inspirational segment on Britain’s largest broadcaster, BBC Radio 2, heard by 9 million breakfast radio listeners daily. In addition, in 2006 Sheridan and Hope Media launched Open House, a nationally-syndicated talk show aimed at engaging Australia’s ‘spiritual but not religious’ crowd. In this talk we consider the four commitments that have driven these and other media ventures—commitments to be missional, credible, holistic, and hospitable—which can help Christian communicators of all kinds engage secular audiences.
