Is Racial Justice a Valid Barrier to Faith?
October is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the impact of Black heritage and the influence of African and Caribbean communities on the Church. Yet for some, issues of race and justice make faith in Jesus feel complex, especially given Christianity’s links to slavery and colonialism. Clare Williams-Sarpong from the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics joined Lydia Bennet to discuss how we can approach these conversations with compassion and grace.
Tim and Rachel Hughes' Adoption Journey
This week is National Adoption Week, a time to celebrate stories of radical hospitality and highlight the importance of adoption. Tim and Rachel Hughes, co-senior pastors of Gas Street Church in Birmingham, have an incredible story to share. After having four biological children, they felt called by Jesus to adopt, and shared with Lydia Bennett how God revealed Himself when they said yes!
Christians need to be fearless again!
Christians were often at the forefront of industry, but that’s no longer the case. Gary Spicer and Shell Perris, members of The Lions, a network of Christian entrepreneurs, are working to change that by funding and empowering Christian businesses, organisations, and ideas to advance God’s Kingdom. They spoke with Lydia Bennett about why Christians must step forward with boldness and embrace the potential God has placed within them.
