Russell Brand Gets 10½ Years and the Culture That Made Him a Scapegoat

Shownotes
Russell Brand has been sentenced to ten and a half years in prison. In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin offers a spiritual and cultural reflection on what that means.
First: the man and his soul. A family shattered. Young children who will grow up without their father. Celebrity Christianity without a season of hidden contrition. And the hard possibility that prison — within the providence of God — could be the purgation Brand needs to lose the world and gain his soul. “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?”
Then the broader picture. Jamie argues Brand has been made a scapegoat in the precise sense René Girard described: the sins of a debauched culture projected onto one man and expelled, while everyone else feels virtuous. The surrounding sexual culture is treated as “perfectly reasonable.” Consent is abstracted as the only legitimising factor. The rest of the seedy, transactional, post-Christian world gets a free pass. The same institutions that once courted Brand now disown him. The zeal that pursues him is absent when it comes to the grooming gangs.
A parable for our times — dark, complex, and deeply revealing of the liberal order we inhabit.

Shownotes
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin turns to the Russell Brand trial and reads it through the parable of the Prodigal Son.
Brand faces multiple charges of rape and sexual assault as the jury deliberates. Jamie refuses to play judge of the man’s heart or the legal outcome. Instead he asks what the story reveals spiritually: the far country of untethered lust, the slavery of sin that looks like freedom, the moment of coming to oneself, and the Father who runs to embrace the son while he is still a long way off. Grace is real for the genuinely repentant. But the past still catches up. Celebrity conversion without a season of hiddenness and humility is dangerous. Restitution matters. And the elder-brother instinct in all of us must be watched.
Also in this episode: the John Lewis Christmas advert, and a listener question on how Christians should engage with Halloween.

Shownotes
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin follows up on the legal challenge to Project Spire — and delivers a proper good-news story at the end.
First: the BBC wanted Jamie in a pre-recorded debate with Professor Alan Lester. He declined and suggested credentialed historians instead. Robert Tombs took the slot. Then Lester delivered a lecture from a church pulpit in Sussex, linking opponents of Project Spire to Edward Long, the so-called “founding father of English racism,” and accusing them of “misinformation.” When Bijan Omrani asked him to name names, Lester denied the charge, refused to specify, and blocked him. Jamie lays out the sequence, rejects the smear, and issues a direct invitation: come on Irreverend and make the case properly.
Then the good news: Harry Kane wins the Ballon d’Or. Rejected by Arsenal at eight for being “too chubby,” years without a trophy, no campaigning, no preening — just relentless work, team play, humility, and fidelity to his wife and children. “Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.” Jamie argues Kane is the perfect antidote to football’s narcissists and a model worth holding up for parents and the next generation.

Live from the University of Greenwich: Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin and Rev. Daniel French on The God Solution.
For a generation the Church felt like a lost cause under new atheism and The God Delusion. Now the mood has shifted. People step toward the vicar. Interest in real Christianity is rising. But can the Church meet the moment?
Jamie lays out the thesis of his book The Great Return: Western values — human dignity, equality, liberty, the intellectual conditions for science — are Christian capital, not Enlightenment inventions. The Greco-Roman world had no such vision of humanity. Strip out Christ and the borrowed capital runs out. We already see the collision in debates over abortion and assisted dying.
Cultural Christianity is not enough. Preference for the Christian story without genuine belief has no binding authority. Real renewal means prayer, holiness, parish life, and a recovered confidence in the Church’s historic identity — not more fashionable politics.
Jamie also discusses his high-profile involvement in the legal challenge, brought with Dr Bijan Omrani, against the Church Commissioners’ £100 million Project Spire slavery-reparations fund — including the media coverage it has attracted and why the use of Section 106 is being contested.

Shownotes
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, the Rev'd. Dr. Jamie Franklin covers four major stories.
First: twenty years after The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins is still misunderstanding classical theism. Jamie explains necessary vs contingent being, why “a universe from nothing” isn’t nothing, and why new atheism has become largely irrelevant.
Second: the failed lethal injection of Krista Pike in Tennessee after 30 years on death row. Church leaders appeal for mercy. Jamie supports the death penalty in rare cases of pure malice, but finds the American system Kafkaesque and would not reintroduce something similar in Britain.
Third: a South London rector refuses to close the church doors on members of an anti-immigration group labelled “far right.” Jamie largely praises the pastor’s gospel-first stance and questions whether “Christian nationalism” is always the bogeyman it is made out to be.
Fourth: Bijan Omrani’s call not to abandon the Church of England plus listener emails on staying and fighting rather than leaving for continuing Anglicanism. Jamie argues the fight for the soul of the C of E is the fight for the soul of the nation.

Shownotes
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Jamie, Tom and Daniel take on three stories that reveal how far parts of the Church have drifted from historic Christianity.
First: a viral sermon by Episcopal priest Flourish Klink claiming God is non-binary, Mary “assigned” Jesus male at birth, and the risen Christ “transitioned.” The clip has millions of views. The three vicars walk through the argument and ask what happens when the pulpit becomes a webcam for untested ideology.
Second: St Helen’s Bishopsgate, one of the Church of England’s flagship evangelical churches, distances itself from episcopal oversight. Rector William Taylor has described bishops as false teachers. What does that mean for the future of conservative churches still inside the C of E?
Third: the Archbishop of Canterbury’s interfaith award, given on 9/11, to a Pakistani cleric who once praised Osama bin Laden. The award was withdrawn after the backlash but this withdrawal has now caused deep offence to the Church in Pakistan who demand an apology from the Archbishop of Canterbury. The panel asks how Lambeth got into this mess and what should be done now.
Also in this episode: Ephesians 6, spiritual warfare, and why the modern Church prefers net zero to the unseen realm.

Jamie Franklin, Tom Pelham and Daniel French on a week the Church of England and the culture both told on themselves.
On the anniversary of 9/11, the Archbishop of Canterbury gave an interfaith award to a cleric who praised Osama bin Laden as a Muslim warrior standing next to his wife in a niqab. Lambeth put the photo out then withdrew the honour after a Google search anyone could have done. The hosts say the real scandal is a church that would rather curry the world’s favour than speak of Christ.
Then: Greta Gerwig’s new Narnia. Meryl Streep voices Aslan. Rainbow whiskers. Bowie eyes. The panel argues Aslan is Christ in Narnia, not a costume, and that “Translan” is the point.

Shownotes
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin reacts to two major developments.
First: a narrow but historic defeat for the assisted dying bill in the Commons. Jamie gives thanks to God, dismantles the myth of the “inevitable march of liberal progressivism,” and argues that only a restoration of Christian faith can stop this returning. He also critiques the weak responses from Church of England bishops who failed to make a distinctively Christian case.
Second: the Lindsay Clancy trial update. After a near-acquittal, several jurors have gone public. The sole holdout who refused to declare her not guilty by reason of insanity was a black man — shattering the expected narrative. Even more disturbing, a prominent panel discussion now frames Clancy’s near-escape as white privilege and calls for the same energy to exonerate women of colour who kill their children. Jamie calls this the demonic endgame of the culture of death.
Also in this episode: Andy Burnham’s push to let Catholics advise on Anglican bishop appointments, Angela Rayner’s two-tier donation rules, and a listener question about the nature of the devil.

Shownotes
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin is joined by Rev. Thomas Pelham for a wide-ranging discussion on two major stories.
First: Sadiq Khan celebrates a partnership between Fabric nightclub and St Paul’s Cathedral. Is this just another concert in a historic building, or a sign that the Church of England has lost the distinction between the sacred and the secular? Jamie and Tom examine Bishop Robert Barron’s strong critique, Gavin Ashenden’s polemics, and the wider question of what church buildings are actually for.
Second: Cambridge academic and Reform UK policy chief James Orr is forced to step down after being caught in a journalistic sting discussing foreign funding. Was it illegal? Immoral? Or just politically disastrous? The pair dig into the optics, the law, Nigel Farage’s ruthless response, and what it means for Christian influence in politics.
Also in this episode: the assisted dying bill, the AfD surge in Germany, Iceland rejecting the EU, and a listener question about blessing children’s backpacks.

Shownotes
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin confronts one of the most disturbing stories gripping social media: the Lindsay Clancy trial.
A Massachusetts mother methodically strangled her three young children before attempting suicide. As the jury remains deadlocked, supporters gather outside the courthouse wearing “Stand with Lindsay” T-shirts, while commentators rush to excuse her by blaming sleep deprivation, “the patriarchy,” mental illness, or Big Pharma. Jamie argues this is a clear bellwether of a post-Christian anthropology that replaces objective morality and personal responsibility with identity hierarchies — and shows how the logic of abortion is now being applied to born children.

Shownotes
Rev Jamie is back with a solo episode that starts with absurdity and ends with righteous anger.
🔥 The Home Office’s jaw-dropping pamphlet telling asylum seekers that “in the UK both people must say yes to sex” – complete with unfinished sentences and cartoon illustrations. Madeleine Grant calls it Victorian moralising; Jamie calls it something far darker.
👑 Prince Harry’s latest “hostage video” for the Diana Award: systemic racism, unconscious bias, and the obligatory apology for the sins of previous generations. Production values that would embarrass a parish podcast.
🎓 Academia continues its descent: a very tall man in a dress receives an honorary degree for DEI activism at the University of Bradford… while Cambridge’s Education Faculty hires someone who once called for engineering degrees to produce “advanced weaponry for jihad.”
And the main event: the continuing fallout from Jason Arday’s death. Nathan Cofnas speaks. The Bishop of Croydon and former Archbishop Rowan Williams turn the tragedy into a morality play about “bullying” and “basic human dignity” – while ignoring the plagiarism, the fabrications, and the DEI machine that put an unqualified man on a pedestal from which he had so far to fall.
Jamie names names, refuses the victimhood narrative, and asks the forbidden question: who is actually responsible?
Plus: the quiet death of the parish system under “oversight ministry” and why the Church of England’s technocrats don’t understand what a priest actually is.

The Church of England is sitting on an £11.6 billion endowment — yet parish churches are being closed, merged, and left without clergy or cash.
In this hard-hitting episode, Jamie Franklin interviews the Rev. Marcus Walker, rector of St Bartholomew the Great in the City of London and one of the key voices behind the Save the Parish movement.
They dig into:
- 🔥 The extraordinary growth at St Bartholomew’s (from ~50 to 250+) and why young adults are flocking to traditional high-church worship
- 💰 How historic parish money has been redirected while poorer churches struggle
- ⛪ The controversial push for 10,000 new lay-led church plants
- 📖 The Quiet Revival, the King James Bible, beauty, and why “relevance” often means the opposite of what people actually want
- ⚔️ What ordinary Anglicans can do to fight back
This is one of the most important conversations about the future of the Church of England right now.

- How fear was weaponised to enforce compliance and crush dissent
- The deeply flawed PCR testing regime and rushed mRNA rollout
- Coordinated censorship between governments, Big Tech, and legacy media
- The shift from temporary emergency powers to permanent digital authoritarianism
With over 940 citations, this is a meticulously researched account of one of the most consequential events of our lifetime.

The Church of England has released yet another howler — their official “Prayer for the World Cup.”
In this episode Revd Dr Jamie Franklin dissects the theologically shallow, barely comprehensible prayer, its widespread mockery, the questions raised at General Synod, and the woeful response from the Bishop of Lichfield and the Liturgical Commission.
Why is the institution doubling down instead of apologising? And who on earth signed this off?

In this week’s Irreverend, Jamie, Tom, and Daniel tackle the biggest stories with their usual mix of wit and insight.
Trump personally intervenes with FIFA to delay a red card for the US team — genius gamesmanship or outright interference? The lads break down his hilarious press conference and what it says about “fair play.”
Nigel Farage dramatically resigns his seat and forces a by-election in Clacton… but the major parties refuse to stand, leaving him facing Count Binface. Bold move or massive miscalculation?
Plus:
- Jeremy Clarkson’s provocative plan to save the Church of England by deconsecrating empty churches
- Latest developments in the Church of England’s LLF saga
- Kemi Badenoch, Andy Burnham, and the state of British politics
- Medieval chainmail barbecues, Erling Haaland the Viking, hot weather rants, and a stirring hymn of the week
Funny, faithful, and fearlessly irreverent Christian commentary on faith, politics, sport, and culture.

Rev. Jamie, Tom, and Daniel are back with a special live episode of Irreverent Faith and Current Affairs recorded in Winchester.
They deliver a sharp, no-holds-barred Christian take on Keir Starmer’s dramatic resignation, the rise of “cultural Catholic” Andy Burnham as the next potential Labour leader, and why the Church of England’s bishops in the House of Lords are failing as a Christian voice.
Jamie opens with a timely biblical reflection from Philippians 3 on heavenly citizenship amid earthly chaos, followed by a hard-hitting discussion on two-tier policing, immigration, assisted dying, Tommy Robinson, Bishop Kai Dewar, and 10 years since Brexit.
Plus: plenty of banter, audience Q&A, organ sing-alongs, and a powerful Hymn of the Week.
Raw faith meeting current affairs at its best.

Rev. Jamie Franklin is back with a no-holds-barred roundup of the biggest stories in church and state.
He tears into the Church of England’s official “Prayer for the World Cup 2026” — calling it poorly written, theologically shallow, embarrassingly unserious, and a perfect symbol of the institution’s current woes.
He also reacts to Keir Starmer’s plan to ban social media for under-16s, dissecting the authoritarian tone, questioning the real motives behind it, and exploring the deeper issues around parenting and technology and the spiritual battle of the internet, attention and addiction.
Plus: Psalm 148, live event details, and a powerful Hymn of the Week — Praise the Lord, Ye Heavens, Adore Him set to Haydn’s majestic Austria.

Shownotes
In this hard-hitting episode of Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs, Revs Jamie Franklin and Tom Pelham tackle the escalating crisis on Britain's streets.
A brutal knife attack in North Belfast by a Sudanese migrant — with apparent attempts to behead his victim — has triggered major riots, burning houses, and intense public anger. Jamie and Tom break down the incident, the shocking police response, and draw uncomfortable parallels with the murder of Henry Novak and growing accusations of two-tier policing.
Tom delivers a timely Bible reflection on Matthew 9:37-38 — "The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few" — challenging the Church to rise to the moment with hope and action. The conversation covers:
- The failures of mass immigration and integration
- Legacy media spin and gaslighting
- Kier Starmer’s plans to restrict social media for under-18s
- The Church of England’s response to the unrest
- Why civic nationalism may be the only alternative to rising tensions
Plus: Listener emails, the Hymn of the Week ("The Church’s One Foundation") and much more.
Raw, honest, and unfiltered Christian commentary on faith and current affairs in a nation under strain. If you’re tired of the mainstream narrative, this episode is essential listening.

The BBC’s new docudrama Dear England is meant to celebrate Gareth Southgate’s England team but it’s actually infuriating propaganda that puts race, kneeling, and virtue signalling front and centre while ignoring real football.
In this no-holds-barred review, Reverend Dr Jamie Franklin explains why he loved the original stage play but couldn’t stand the TV version. From the cringeworthy dressing room lectures to Harry Kane’s moralising and the obsession with George Floyd, taking the knee and Black Lives Matter, this drama turns England’s football story into a condescending sermon on racism that England fans never asked for.
Franklin argues that England got so close to winning major trophies not because of systemic racism but because the team spent more energy on political gestures than on the fine margins that win tournaments.

Shownotes
Reverend Dr Jamie Franklin responds to the shocking murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton. He examines the brutal knife attack, the police response that left Henry handcuffed and dying whilst they attended to his attacker, and what this case reveals about two-tier policing, institutional failures, and growing societal division in Britain.
Jamie reflects on Nigel Farage’s powerful statement, Henry’s father’s moving words outside court, the glaring contrast with the George Floyd response, and the Church of England’s silence. He addresses the protests that followed, the deeper issues of multiculturalism, and calls the Church and nation to repentance and a renewed commitment to justice and truth.
A raw, heartfelt, and unflinching look at a tragic case that has become symbolic of much that is wrong in contemporary Britain.

Why do so many churches feel spiritually thin, aesthetically bland, and disconnected from the deep longings of modern people?
In this lecture, the Rev’d Dr Jamie Franklin argues that the crisis of the modern West is not merely theological or moral but rather aesthetic in nature. Drawing on Alexander Schmemann, David Bentley Hart, Iain McGilchrist, St Anselm, and the Christian tradition, he explores a striking idea: that Original Sin was, at its heart, a refusal to receive creation as a gift and offer it back to God in thanksgiving.
This talk traces how Christianity once understood the world as sacramentally charged with divine meaning and how that vision was gradually eclipsed by modern secular assumptions.
Topics include:
• Original Sin as a failure of “original blessing”
• The sacramental vision of creation
• The Reformation, iconoclasm, and the loss of symbolic thinking
• Beauty, liturgy, and the recovery of the sacred
• Why the Eucharist stands at the centre of a truly Christian vision of the world
• What parish churches can teach a disenchanted cultureIf you’ve ever wondered why beauty matters, why ancient liturgy continues to attract people in a secular age, or how Christianity can recover a sense of the sacred, then this conversation is for you.

Shownotes
Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French sit down to talk about the biggest issues in Church and State. This time:
- The battle of no ideas at the top of the Labour Party, as we ask, "Has Andy Burnham ever had a proper job?"
- We look at the fallout from the most recent Unite the Kingdom rally and ask if perhaps "Christian Nationalism" is more widespread than the lanyard elite think.
- And we review a recent speech given by the Archbishop of Canterbury which appeared to be aimed at Tommy Robinson and at all the enemies of progressive multiculturalism.
All that, Hymn of the Week, and much much more!

Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the big stories in Church and state and to offer a Christian perspective. This time:
- The last days of Keir Starmer's dark and dismal premiership. What, if anything, can we learn from the catastrophic failure of the PM and the Labour Party since coming into power?
- Rowan Williams says we should talk about the devil and stick to the supernatural, but is he entirely consistent about that?
- And Zack Polanski says that no nation has the right to exist. What is a Christian view on nationhood and sovereignty?
All that and a little bit more as ever!
