I'm really stoked that you're covering this, Russell. I remembering hearing years ago that Radio Rhema was the biggest radio network in NZ - I'm sure that's not the case now - but it was a surprise to those at the conference at the time.

How can I put this politely? I'm glad that so many commenters feel such conviction about the place of religion in their lives. I'm sure that you, Russell, are more interested in hearing than being heard. Gutted I can't be there tomorrow night - will catch the podcast.
