The Daily Declaration Podcast

Cody Mitchell is joined by Senator Alex Antic (South Australian Liberals) to discuss the state of political engagement in modern Australia. Senator Antic also talks about ways that you can have a real impact through party politics or through other forms of grassroots activism.

Please note: The Canberra Declaration takes a non-partisan approach to political engagement. We encourage people to get involved to support the revitalisation of Judeo-Christian values in whatever way they think is most effective.

In this conversation, Dr Jason Hubbard and Warwick Marsh talk about the main figure behind the 'Moravian Pentecost' – Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf.  Zinzendorf was a gifted preacher, hymn-writer and prayer warrior, and it is largely thanks to his diligent and faithful witness that the Moravian Miracle occurred.
