Is ableism an overlooked prejudice in the church?
Kay Morgan-Gurr, co-founder of the Additional Needs Alliance, and Katie Budd, Team Leader of Through the Roof’s Roofbreaker project, joined us to share some of the worst things they’ve heard in church, why inclusion starts with a conversation, and how churches can help people discover their potential rather than focus on their limitations.

Former BBC journalist Julia Bicknell and John Heathershaw, Professor of International Relations at the University of Exeter, joined Michael to discuss Trump’s attempt to restrict journalists from the White House. They talk about where criticism of media veers into attempts to silence, why outlets must be allowed to get things wrong, and the lack of accountability of new forms of journalists. Plus, why truth should always come before fears about reputational damage - particularly in the Church.
Franklin Graham joined Michael ahead of his God Loves You Tour stop at Co-op Live in Manchester, reflecting on returning to a city where his father Billy Graham preached 65 years ago, what he hopes will happen as thousands gather to hear the message of Jesus, and the Trump administration’s media restrictions, including why he isn’t advising the President either way.
Have you ever felt guilty about how little time you spend praying? Instead of beating ourselves up, why not join thousands of Christians next week for the National Week of Prayer? Bringing together churches, businesses, schools and homes across denominations, Michael spoke to founder Kam Flynn about how it works and why prayer matters.
