February 01, 2024 Defanging the Gospel | Ft. Dr Aaron Edwards
What if the "don't do politics" churches are actually themselves radically politicised?
What if, in a bid to "just preach the gospel", we've reduced the gospel to less than the gospel?
What's the difference between liberalising "social gospel" and biblically faithful "salt and light"?
What part does justice have to play in the mission of the Church?
Did Martin Luther have a dark side?
What is the greatest challenge facing the UK Church today?
Dave speaks with theologian, writer, preacher Dr Aaron Edwards about the excesses and blindspots of the "just preach the gospel" movement in the UK evangelical Church.

January 24, 2024 Pro-Life vs Eternal Life? Ft. Dean Gavaris
Dean is here in the UK for another couple of weeks this January: come and meet him and hear him in person at a location near you! www.brephos.org/event
Do we have to choose between gospel ministry and pro-life ministry?
Is justice work a distraction from gospel work?
Or does the gospel get in the way of saving babies?
Can Christians be "non-directive" in pregnancy counselling work?
What can UK Christians learn from USA Christians - the good, the bad, the ugly - as we begin the fight for the unborn on this side of the Atlantic?
Dave is joined by special guest Dean Gavaris, Director of Gateway, a pro-life, pro-gospel pregnancy centre in New Jersey, USA, which has seen thousands of women choose life for their baby and thousands of women turn to Christ over the last 38 years.

January 24, 2024 Jordan Peterson and Bodyless Souls: Are you in the ARC?
Many are flocking to the likes of Jordan Peterson for a courage and clarity on moral issues that they are quite simply not finding in the Church.
What are we to make of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship? Should Christians get involved?
In what ways do we need to caution or critique this movement, and perhaps more importantly, how do we need to let it challenge and correct us?
Will the ARC survive, let alone thrive?
Is this the vehicle for positive social change, including for the unborn?
Can the ARC make it without Jesus?
Dave considers the ARC in the light of Isaiah 26, and then uses the ARC as a negative mirror for the Church, showing us what we've got and where we're lacking.

January 24, 2024 Kevin DeYoung, Douglas Wilson, and Thin-Skinned Evangelicalism
Apologies for this episode's low-quality visuals; Dave is learning the ropes on some new technology!

What is the recent, high-profile interchange between Kevin DeYoung and Douglas Wilson really about?

And why does it matter?

And what does it have to do with us in the UK, and with "abortion"?

Dave offers a response to Kevin DeYoung's initial critique of Douglas Wilson and "the Moscow Mood", pointing out ways in which it reveals foundational problems in the attitude of the Church which amount to a block on accepting prophetic challenge in general, and therefore also specifically in relation to how we respond to child sacrifice.

The initial piece:

December 19, 2023 The Christmas cover up
Can't we give it a break over the Christmas season?
Isn't Christmas about goodwill to all, peace, joy, hope and love? How can we justify talking about abortion at this time of the year?
Join Beth and Tim as they dive into the Christmas accounts and show how relevant abortion really is to Christmas. If we won't talk about abortion now, are we in reality collaborating in a cover up of the greatest injustice of our day?

December 05, 2023 A Tale of Two Stellas
Right now Stella Creasy MP along with Diana Johnson MP is trying to legalise not only "abortion" up till birth but, effectively, infanticide as well, with some radical amendments to the Criminal Justice Bill going through the Houses of Parliament.

November 21, 2023 How British Evangelicalism Got Here ft. Rhys Laverty
Should we be more like the Americans?
Is politics a distraction from the gospel?
Is it unreasonable to expect non-Christians to behave more Christianly?
Is being publicly pro-life meant to be part of our Christian witness?
Dave calls in Rhys Laverty to help us think through some of the peculiarities of British evangelicalism. What are we like, and how did we end up this way?
Here's what Rhys is up to:
"I currently work for The Davenant Institute as Senior Editor at Ad Fontes (our journal, published in print quarterly and with weekly online content) and as Managing Editor at The Davenant Press (with book publications).
Our work focuses on the riches of classical Protesantism in church history, retrieving them in order to renew and build up the contemporary church. Our focus is on scholars, educated pastors, and interesed laypeople.
My editorial work includes commissioning, collaborating with authors, modernising historic works, typesetting, podcasting, and more.
Alongisde this, I am studying Davenant's M.Litt in Classical Protestantism."
