Friday Mar 18, 2022

This week Jo, Alicia and Peter take a deep dive into the challenges that women face in the UK and Ireland today and how our faith in Jesus shapes how we should respond to them. Topics include feminist theology, responding to abuse in the church and the horrific case of Child Q. We were very sad that Damilola could not join the conversation this week due to technical difficulties.

Friday Mar 11, 2022

This week Peter, Jo and Danny think about how we are responding to the war in Ukraine, both as Christians and as people living in the West operating within a particular system of values. The return of Killing Eve to our TV screens is also discussed with its intriguing portrayal of Christianity – and question how examples like this may or may not subvert our culture's thinking on faith and Jesus.

Friday Mar 04, 2022

This week Peter, Jo and Danny take a deeper dive into issues beyond the headlines in Ukraine as we think about how to respond to the war as followers of Jesus. Sport, just war theory, racial discrimination and China are just some of the areas explored. This week's episode also features an interview Peter had with Ryan Burton King, Pastor of Grace Baptist Church Wood Green, London, whose personal links to Ukraine help us to think more broadly and deeply about the issues facing Christians there.
