Henare Whaanga grew up in the church, left the faith as a teen, and returned with a fire for apologetics and truth. But his journey didn’t stop there. As a Māori Christian, he struggled to reconcile his cultural identity with his beliefs - until letters from his ancestors reshaped his perspective.
Now, he leads Māori Christian Apologetics and runs workshops across Aotearoa to help others navigate faith, whakapapa and te ao Māori. This powerful conversation is a must-watch for anyone wondering how culture and Christianity can stand together.
🎧 Hear how Henare’s heart for the Church and for Māori identity is making space for honest kōrero and real transformation.
