Were the conspiracy theorists right? The Epstein files Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

As the Epstein files continue to surface, one question echoes across the globe: were the conspiracy theorists actually right?

In this gripping and sobering episode of Rebuilders, Mark, Liddy, and Daniel return to the topic of conspiracy theories—this time through the lens of the unfolding Epstein scandal. With implications spanning politics, finance, science, intelligence, and celebrity culture, this isn’t just one scandal—it’s a systemic unveiling of how power really works.

Mark offers a wide-ranging cultural and theological reflection on what the Epstein case reveals about elite networks, institutional decay, and spiritual reality. From parapolitics to parapower, blackmail to broken trust, they ask:

What do we do when once-dismissed suspicions turn out to be true?
How do we navigate the cultural disorientation and moral outrage?
And how can followers of Jesus respond—not with fear, but with clarity, wisdom, and hope?

This is not a descent into darkness—it’s a call to spiritual discernment, gospel courage, and faithful rebuilding in an age of profound exposure.

Trump shakes the global order Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

January felt like a decade—and the world order may have just shifted.

In this episode of Rebuilders, we unpack the extraordinary global developments that marked the start of 2026. From the dramatic ICE raids in Minnesota, to Trump’s military strike in Venezuela, to rising tensions in Iran and the eerie blackout in Greenland—this month has signalled more than just upheaval. It reveals a deep, global redefinition of how power works.

Mark explores how the old world order—shaped by institutions, norms, and restraint—is giving way to a new one marked by raw assertion, norm-breaking, and unfiltered authority. What does it mean when the usual checks and balances no longer apply? And how should followers of Jesus respond in a world that feels increasingly disorienting?

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, confused, or powerless lately, this conversation will bring clarity—and hope.

Revival and the Rightward Turn Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Rebuilders, we unpack the complex interplay between revival in the church and the political turbulence shaking the West. As young people return to church and spiritual openness increases, so does a populist longing for control, security, and tradition. What does this mean for the future of revival? What are the risks of conflating spiritual renewal with political movements? And how can Christians hold onto hope and discernment in a world that longs for both transcendence and control?

Show notes

From memes to missiles, the digital world is breaking into real life. Are we still in an age of anxiety—or has action already begun?

In this episode of Rebuilders, Mark Sayers, Liddy, and Daniel explore the shifting landscape of culture, politics, and power. As drone incursions threaten borders and internet personalities are assassinated live online, the team asks: Is the age of anxiety giving way to something far more volatile—the age of action?

They unpack the spiritual implications of a world where image becomes violence, where global crises go viral, and where real-world chaos follows online rhetoric. What does faithful Christian presence look like in this new reality?

Managers to Monarchs: The emergence of post-secular power Aug 27, 2025

Show notes

As the lines between democracy and monarchy blur, what kind of power are we living under—and what kind of authority do we trust?

In this episode of Rebuilders, Mark, Liddy, and Daniel explore the seismic shifts happening in how power is exercised and understood in our time. From Max Weber’s classic categories of authority to the rise of charismatic leaders like Donald Trump, they trace how the erosion of rational-legal power and the resurgence of personality-driven, almost “royal” rule are reshaping politics, culture, and even the church.

Is Trump’s style of leadership a symptom—or the beginning—of a deeper cultural shift? Are we witnessing a post-secular return to sacred forms of power? And what does it mean for Christians to live under the authority of a very different kind of king?

The AI revolution: jobs, social cohesion and the hope of humanity Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

As AI transforms the world at warp speed, what does it mean for the workforce—and the church? In this episode of Rebuilders, we zoom in on one crucial aspect of the AI revolution: its disruptive impact on white-collar work. What happens when entry-level jobs vanish, AI reshapes our thinking, and a generation raised online struggles with real-world connection?

From the looming white-collar recession to AI-induced creativity loss, Mark offers a sobering yet hopeful vision of how the church can respond—not by competing with machines, but by offering what only humans can: presence, discipleship, and resilience. This is a call to prepare, not panic.

The Era of Volatility May 07, 2025

Show notes
