Hey fellow readers! I want to introduce you to different individuals who are engaging with political or moral issues in Canada. The first group that I want to introduce you to is The Scribbler News - a married couple who is not afraid to report on what is happening in Nova Scotia.
I think its always great to know the people behind the news that I listen to. So, tell those who may be reading this a little about yourselves. Who are you, where are you from and what are your passions in life? We are Sam and Beth Medicraft. A couple of reformed Baptists currently living in Halifax, with way too many kids and pets. I (Beth) am fascinated with theology, politics, and psychology. I am interested in these subjects both collectively and individually. Sam has a passion for theology and politics as well but enjoys psychology from more of a business/ marketing framework. The Scribbler News began this year. What made you want to start writing and reporting? In relation to Nova Scotian news, we saw a serious lack of conservative Christian perspectives. We also felt compelled to point out the inconsistences, lies, and overall “wishy-washiness” that took place during the briefings. People would often tell us they couldn’t put their finger on exactly what it was about the briefings that bothered them, so we decided to help while giving a little bit of humour to illuminate the situation. From what I have read and heard your primary focus is on Nova Scotia politics. In the past Christians have shied away from politics. Why do you think that is? Talking about politics can become impolite and Christians often equate politeness with sanctity. But in our opinion politics is an unavoidable part of life, and like all parts of life the bible has things to say. And it is our duty as Christians to bring the light of scripture into the world, and this includes politics. Clearly you're taking a stand and not shying away from politics. Why is it important for you to engage and report about what has been happening in Nova Scotia? Because we are rapidly falling under an authoritarian government who is anti-Christian. It is our desire to see people learn the truth through the lens of the gospel. As you continue to write and report on what is happening what do you hope to accomplish in the lives of your listeners and readers? We are hoping to help people see that putting your trust in man/ government isn’t going to work. We do it by pointing out their (the government) inconsistences and instead pointing people to God. I look forward to your future reports and I encourage those of you that may be reading this to check out The Scribbler News. Is there anything you’d like to say as we come to an end of this interview? While we’re currently on a “summer break” because family comes first, we look forward to providing more content in the fall. We encourage other Christians to speak up and make their perspective heard. God has placed us where we are, as who we are, for His glory.
