Open House


Open House
Collection of interviews by Sheriden Voysey

The first installment of transcribed interviews from the ‘Open House’ program on Christian radio station Hope 103.2fm.

Even though he is a Christian on a Christian radio station it is good of Voysey to allow his interviewee to talk and to tell their story. This is easy enough to do in most cases where the interviewee is largely giving their Christian testimony.

There are some other cases where the subject is more secular or controversial in nature. Voysey still lets them talk. I like that, he lets them tell their whole story and then allows the listeners and readers to think about the topic in their own way and then discuss what was said.

There is a vast array of personalities being interviewed. Someone will appeal to everyone.

I found that the people I hadn’t heard of still had fascinating stories to tell. I’m glad I read them all and didn’t cut to the people I thought would be most interesting.

The secular personalities are in some ways more interesting, as their views on Jesus aren’t as clear cut or predictable. They have many varied views on Jesus between them. It should be no surprise that some have no clear view on Jesus, instead hold various views on their own.

I'm a late starter, as by the time the start reading this edition there have been two more editions of ‘Open House’ released. If the first is anything to go by then two and three will be very enjoyable indeed.
