Can extreme spiritual discipline make — or break — your faith?
We’re at the start of Lent, a season of fasting and spiritual discipline. Some give up treats or social media… but what about giving up all your comforts at once? Programmes like Exodus 90 are growing in popularity, challenging participants to 90 days of prayer, sacrifice and accountability. Leadership coach Matt Parkes joined Esther, alongside Ayoola Bandele of Daily Bible Devotions, to discuss whether the harder path is always the holier one.
Does the Church overlook women’s safety?
Have you heard of Curfew? The thriller envisions a world where men are required to observe a 7pm–7am curfew for the safety of women. Fiction, yes, but the issues are real. In the UK, violence against women and girls is a national emergency, making up nearly 20% of crime. Bekah Legg, CEO of Restored, and campaigner Gavin Drake join Esther to discuss how churches can address blind spots and improve the safety of their female congregation.
Facing modern evil through Lord of the Flies
Did you ever read Lord of the Flies at school? Golding’s 1954 novel has haunted generations and is back in the spotlight with a new TV adaptation. But how can Christians interpret the seminal text? Are humans naturally evil, or does society create monsters? Broadcaster and writer Tony Wilson joined Esther to explore why the book still resonates today and what we can learn from it.
