Beatbox Nativity

by Rodney Olsen

What’s the most unusual telling of the Christmas story you’ve heard?

In their article The Beatbox Bible: Rapping vicar rhymes the story of Nativity and becomes internet hit, Britain’s Daily Mail is reporting that a beatboxing vicar has retold the Christmas story in a rather unusual way.

Reverend Gavin Tyte (aka TyTe) was a professional beatboxer before dramatically changing careers and his Nativity video has had more than 15,000 views on YouTube in three weeks.

The 40-year-old vicar of Uplyme Church, in east Devon, raps: ‘Welcome to Beatbox Bible’, before continuing his sermon online to parishioners.

Enjoy watching the vicar’s efforts in the video above.

In the beginning …

by Rodney Olsen

Dr Tas WalkerPeople used to believe that the earth was flat and then that the sun and stars revolved around the earth. As time went on we discovered this wasn’t the case. Many people now believe that the evidence overwhelmingly tells us that instead of being created several thousand years ago, we evolved over millions of years. Is there really evidence of biblical creation or are we just seeing what we want to believe?

The creation / evolution debate continues to rage. Why is the debate so important? If having to believe the creation story is keeping some people from knowing Jesus, shouldn’t we just agree to disagree and move on?

Dr Tas Walker holds a Bachelor of Science with first class honours, a Bachelor of English with honours and a doctorate in mechanical engineering. Using his wide experience, Tas has developed a biblical geological model to connect geological structures with biblical history.

He now works full-time for Creation Ministries International as a researcher, writer and speaker.

Dr Tas Walker recently joined me in the studio at 98.5 Sonshine FM to discuss the ongoing debate. You can hear what Tas had to say by clicking the play button at the bottom of this post.

After a distinguished military career and more than thirty successful years in the business world, Chuck Missler decided to pursue his life-long love of teaching the Bible on a full-time basis.

He founded Koinonia House, an organisation devoted to encouraging people to study the Bible.

He has spent many years studying the links between the scriptures and current day events. He recently joined me in the 98.5 Sonshine FM studios to talk about his views on Scripture and how words written thousands of years ago are relevant for the 21st century. His main emphasis is on knowing what’s really going on in the world. Where are we headed today? What part do we need to play in this rapidly chaning world?
