Movements of disciples and churches are transforming lives around the world—from the underground churches of Iran to the suburbs of California, from the bustling streets of Indonesia to inmates on Texas death row.

Originally broadcast on Radio 4 in 2003-4, We’ve Been Here Before is the topical, satirical, historical panel game that aims to show beyond all doubt that there’s nothing new in the news. Hosted by award-winning comedian, broadcaster and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Clive Anderson, it takes a wry, witty look at long-gone days through a present-day lens, as the panellists battle it out to discover who’s got the best memory for detail when it comes to raking up the past.

LET GOD DISRUPT YOUR WORLD AND SHOW YOU WHAT HE CAN DO. When we open the book of Acts, we’re struck by the gap between our experience and the movement described in its pages. The book of Acts calls us back to the beginning—to a movement born in obscurity, captivated by God’s grace, devoted to prayer and the spread of his Word. A movement that was bold in persecution, generous in love, alive with God’s presence, and on the move from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. What if Luke isn’t just telling us, “This is how it was,” but also saying, “This is how it can be”?

When Jesus rose from the dead, he found disciples who were defeated and disillusioned. Just like us. But in the forty days between his resurrection and his ascension, Jesus restored and prepared them for their worldwide mission. Spend forty days with Jesus as you explore forty decisive moments from Genesis to Revelation and discover your part in God’s story. Invite Jesus to do for you what he did for those early disciples. He met them in their failure. He opened their minds to his Word. He showed them their part in God’s story. He promised the power of the Holy Spirit.
