Is it ever OK to Pick N Mix your religious beliefs?
Have you ever filled a Pick N Mix bag at the cinema with every colour and flavour you could grab?

To explore this growing trend, Esther Higham is joined by author and speaker Reverend Dr Ian Paul to discuss what’s driving this shift and how the whole Gospel can connect with younger generations.
Mental health is drawing Gen Z to Church. Can it deliver?

Abram to Abraham, Simon to Peter, and angels instructed Mary and Joseph on what they should call the coming Messiah. So how should Christian parents approach choosing a name for their child today? Nana-Adwoa Mbeutcha, mother of six, joined Esther Higham to share her thoughts and the spiritual significance behind her children's names.
