In Episode 10 of the Big Change series, Jonathan Wilson and Andy Crouch debate the controversial topic of the historical impact of church and missions.

Acclaimed podcaster and author Justin Brierley joins Jonathan Wilson in Episode 8 to explore why so many prominent atheists are rejecting secular materialism, and re-evaluating the merits of the Christian faith. They discuss how many of these secular elites are reassessing the perceived triumph of science over religion, as well as the fallacy that Western values such as human rights stem from the Greco-Roman world. For those seeking to live a meaningful life, Christianity is once again emerging as a compelling intellectual option.

Fellow venture capitalist Mr David Harlley joins host Jonathan Wilson in Episode 7 of the Big Change series. They argue that the current state of capitalism closely resembles the feudal system it rejected centuries ago, and that there is a need in both the global North and global South to re-imagine work and wealth distribution. In response to this systemic challenge they offer a different approach of deploying venture capital, in light of a generative, non-extractive view of capital and capital growth.
