While many evangelical churches call themselves "conservative", the reality on the ground is often very different, especially when it comes to challenging front-line issues which might offend the closet feminists in their midst.

This is one reason why evangelical churches and leaders struggle to talk about obvious Biblical moral issues like abortion at just the time they should. In this episode, Aaron interviews Dave Brennan, who heads up Brephos, seeking to help conservative evangelical churches in Britain embrace an unashamedly pro-life emphasis.

How did evangelical churches get to this point where they needed reminding about an issue that is seemingly so obvious? What other Biblical and historical examples of challenging social issues can be drawn upon to help pastors think through the problem? What is the long-term cost of ignoring a more robust evangelical witness on social issues? What kind of reformation does the Church require in order to wake up and speak up?
