April 18, 2023 Honest Conversations: Pastor Ebow on the Sword of the Spirit and the Western Church (Pt 2)
Welcome back to “Honest Conversations”, a new mini-series we are running alongside “Womb with a View”.
Whilst “Womb with a View” looks straight at the unborn child biblically and theologically, in “Honest Conversations” we are speaking exclusively with church leaders about the importance of engaging the issue of “abortion” from the front of church, and in particular why it seems so hard to do so. We’ll also be hearing encouragement and practical advice on various aspects of ministering in this area, in the context of the local church.
Not only analytical but also constructive, it is hoped that this mini-series will be of help especially to those involved in church leadership as they seek to address one of the most critical issues of our day.
The “pastor-to-pastor” format means that what you’ll be hearing in these podcasts is not the observations of armchair analysts or keyboard warriors, but reports from servants of the word of God on the frontlines, where biblical principles are being applied in real-life congregations and communities.
Whilst some of the church leaders we’ll be speaking with have been ministering in this area for a number of years, many of them are relatively new to engaging the issue and some are only just starting out. All of us still have a long way to go.
Join us as we learn from one another and seek to expose and dismantle the obstacles standing in the way of bringing the whole counsel of God to bear on the whole of the Christian life, individual and corporate.
In this week’s episode we speak with Pastor Ebow Essel from Basingstoke.
Ebow was born and raised in Ghana before serving in the British military and continuing his education in the UK. After receiving a clear calling to full-time gospel work, he left his pursuit of a career in engineering and worked and studied across a number of different church denominations before coming to pastor Wessex Christian Fellowship.

April 04, 2023 Ultrasounds are "manipulative"?? A very disturbing conversation
Often in the media it's pro-lifers, rather than those deliberately practising or advocating the deliberate killing of human babies, that are (along with their activities) demonised.
Sometimes these seeds of thinking take root even in the Christian Church, and we end up more horrified by pro-lifers than we are by the violence of "abortion".
Too many of us are apologising and blushing over things that are righteous and necessary, more upset with each other than with the injustice, and all the while we are getting out of the way for genocide-perpetrators to carry on their business as usual.
In this week's episode Dave relates a disturbing conversation with some people who identify as both Christian and pro-life...

March 21, 2023 “Single Mum, No Money: What does the Bible have to say to ‘Problem Pregnancies’?”
Womb with a View: Bible Studies on the Unborn Child: Episode 2
"Single Mum, No Money: What does the Bible have to say to 'Problem Pregnancies'?"
Two-child benefit cap, free childcare from 9 months, maternity leave, women in the workplace, cost of living, rent-a-womb surrogacy, IVF...
The question of how parents and in particular mothers can manage growing families alongside other responsibilities and pressures in today's climate is a topical issue.
Add on top of this the fact that nearly half of pregnancies in the UK are unintended.
But then there are others desperate to have children who seem unable to conceive naturally.
What does the Bible have to say to these issues today?
Will we find anything relevant in the pages of Scripture to these rubber-hitting-the-road problems such as paying the bills, dealing with selfish or negligent fathers, or manipulative women who deliberately get pregnant as a power grab or as a means to secure financial stability?
The answer may surprise you...
Join us as we explore four famous problem pregnancies in the Bible:
Hapless Hagar
Tenacious Tamar
Bathing Bathsheba
Meek Mary

March 14, 2023 Womb with a View: God as Midwife?
Womb with a View: Bible Studies on the Unborn Child Have you ever considered God's active involvement at the moment of your birth?
Today we start our brand new series, Womb with a View: peering into the womb at the wonder of human life at early stages, through the lens of Scripture.
In this, our first Womb with a View episode, we consider the striking biblical theme of God as Midwife.
What light does it shed on God's character and on our call as his people? And what about the midwifery profession?
An article written by Tim on 'God as midwife' is published here: https://www.brephos.org/post/god-as-midwife

March 07, 2023 BBC Panorama Hit Piece: How should we respond?
Last week the BBC launched an aggressive attack on the UK pregnancy centre scene with an "investigative" Panorama programme.
The bias, and the abortion lobby players, behind it are plain to see.
But how should we respond?
"Woe to us"?
Or "let us rejoice"?

February 21, 2023 Tim Keller: Silence in the face of evil?
A controversy was sparked the other day when a new cultural apologetics institute was named after a (still living) individual: the hugely influential Tim Keller. Whilst a number of concerns have been aired by a range of people, here Dave shares concerns of a rather different nature.
This goes much deeper and wider than just the wisdom of the name.
Read Dave's blog here - https://www.brephos.org/post/the-keller-center-why-i-m-really-concerned - and listen to this podcast as he explores the issue in greater detail.
To what extent is this trend responsible for the great silence of the Western Church on the genocide of the babies?

February 14, 2023 Kill the Babies, Lock Up the Catholics: Welby on Buffer Zones
In recent weeks a Roman Catholic woman called Isabel Vaughan-Spruce has been arrested for silent prayer, and a Roman Catholic Priest is facing criminal charges for having a bumper stick on his car reading “UNBORN LIVES MATTER”. In the UK.
What does the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, think about this?
The answer will shock you.
