Faith Runs Deep: Interviews by Karl Faase

Hugh Chilton

At the beautiful Scots College near Bondi Beach, Karl Faase sat down with Hugh Chilton, a historian, teacher and researcher into how Australia's identity as a Christian nation changed during the 1960's, 70's and 80's. Hugh speaks about the impact of Billy Graham's 1959 crusade, which packed out stadiums in both Melbourne and Sydney, as well as the culture shift that occurred in the next few decades.

John Harris

John Harris' incredible depth of knowledge into the history of Australia, both Indigenous and European settlement is shown in his many books on the subject, especially his powerful book titled One Blood. Karl Faase sat down with him in the chapel of St Mark's Theological College in Canberra to discuss his parents work and legacy as Bible translators in the Northern Territory; his own research into the relationship between the Indigenous people and the church in Australia; and the many stories of faithful people who shared the Gospel with others. While often a hard story to hear, our history needs to be remembered and learned from, and John's passionate work in this area is so valuable.

Ann Pattel-Gray

As the first Indigenous person to gain a PhD from Sydney University, Dr Anne Pattel-Gray's experience of racism from both outside and inside the church ignited a flame that drove her to pursue higher education, with the aim of giving her people the words to use in their campaign for justice. Anne's firm faith in God keeps her hopeful for reconciliation and for an easier path for future generations of Indigenous people. Karl and Anne discuss the inspiration of her mother, her Christian faith and the faith that runs very deep in the First Nations people.

Bernadette Black

After taking the ute across Bass Strait on the Spirit of Tasmania, Karl interviewed Bernadette Black in Hobart. Bernadette's experience of having a baby at 16 years old, and not finding the national organisational support she was looking for, led her to starting her own organisation meeting the needs of expecting and parenting teens. Brave Foundation is now nation-wide, and is paving a way for other nations to follow in this important work. As a voice and advocate for these young people, Bernadette is living out her Christian faith, making a difference to so many.

Andrew Fisher

With the two utes lined up in the starting pits of the iconic Bathurst track, Karl Faase interviewed Andrew 'Fishtail' Fisher, a former businessman who now drives a race car with the word 'Jesus' printed all over it. Through not shying away from making his Christian faith public, Andrew now has many opportunities to speak in schools and prisons about his story and his faith, which has changed the lives of so many. Karl chatted with Andrew about how he got started in racing, the ministry that has grown out of it, and the difficult season in his life that helped grow him and showed that God is in control, not us.
