Faith, Made Public.
Our mission is to “influence the influencers”, from parents to pastors and public officials, helping believers cultivate wisdom, courage and conviction.
Confidence and Courage for the Body of Christ.
Faith Made Public (FMP) aims to assist Christian believers in embodying the flourishing life of the future Kingdom of Hope—within a world so often marked by contradictions to faith, hope and love. Its mission is to “influence the influencers” by inspiring Christian leaders, pastors and the lay public to develop a proper confidence in the Gospel and to live lives that are faithfully present in the fragmented and divided public spaces of modern democracy.

Together, they are passionate about equipping parents and church leaders to engage the next generation—creating space for honest questions, real conversations, and a faith that speaks meaningfully into today’s world.
A public theologian revisits the case of Jason Arday, the Cambridge professor who died following public plagiarism and academic misconduct allegations; and whose accuser has since been suspended from his university post. How did genuine concerns over scholarship become entangled with race politics? Are we hiding behind vulnerabilities and avoiding honest conversations?
A public theologian revisits the case of Jason Arday, the Cambridge professor who died following public plagiarism and academic misconduct allegations; and whose accuser has since been suspended from his university post. How did genuine concerns over scholarship become entangled with race politics? Are we hiding behind vulnerabilities and avoiding honest conversations? Dr Craig Heilmann questions whether media and public scrutiny contributed to Prof. Arday's fragile mental state, and whether his critics are now being similarly targeted in turn.
