Daytime on Premier

We’ve been experiencing some of the hottest days on record — and many are asking whether this is just a passing moment, or a sign of something deeper happening in our climate.

Mary Corfield from the The Climate Coalition joined Carlton Baxter to share practical insight and a faith perspective on what it looks like to live greener today.

He joined Madeleine Kerzner to share his story and testimony.

There are seasons where we feel called to something more… yet the path ahead isn’t fully clear. Moments where comfort and security are familiar, but we sense God is asking us to move — to trust, to step out, to let go of control. The reality is that life can get really noisy, with everything else trying to get our attention. So how do we know and recognise God's voice amid it all? Founder of Uhambo, Jeronne Rudder, joins Mal Pope to unpack this.

John Kirkby, founder of Christians Against Poverty, and his wife, Lizzy, have started a growing vision, rooted in the words of Isaiah 61, to see lives transformed not just practically but spiritually.

Grief and bereavement are experiences we will all face at some point, yet they can feel deeply personal, confusing, and overwhelming. From the loss of a loved one to supporting a child through their first encounter with death, the questions around how we respond, emotionally, practically, and spiritually, can be complex. So how do we make sense of what’s happening within us when we grieve? Founder and CEO of AtaLoss, Yvonne Tulloch, joined Mal Pope to unpack this.

She joined Madeleine Kerzner to share more about the challenge and what the charity is doing.

It’s not a question we often hear in church, but for many young people today, it is. Conversations around sex, identity, and relationships are louder than ever, shaped by social media, culture, and a constant stream of conflicting messages.

Author and speaker Bobbi Kumari joined Madeleine Kerzner to unpack this
