About Abortion

Over the next few episodes we're going to be hearing from people who are "walking the walk", who are on the journey from pro-life belief to pro-life action.  We're going to hear their stories, their convictions, their challenges, their joys, and above all how they as ordinary people are seeking to live out by God's grace his call on their lives in this area. The hope is that this will inspire and encourage us all to get more active on behalf of the unborn and their parents.  In the New Year we will be segueing from inspiration to equipping, as we embark on a fresh and dynamic approach to learning together effective social reform strategy and pro-life apologetics through a series of teaching and training episodes. Watch this space!  In today's episode we are joined by Rebekah Collins of HOPE Pregnancy. She shares her story and a vision for pregnancy advice ministry that is clearly life-affirming and intentionally gospel-centred.

What’s “abortion” got to do with men?

Why is there such a heavy spiritual blindness upon our nation?

What’s going wrong in the family?

Why is the divorce rate so high?

What does our mistreatment of the unborn mean for how we regard the sick and the elderly?

This week’s episode with Lynda Rose (CEO of Voice for Justice UK) explores the enormous and far-reaching spiritual ramifications of industrial-scale child sacrifice in our land.

Although “abortion” is one of the most taboo subjects, rarely talked about, this conversation will help you to see how it has touched nearly every area of public and private life, providing vital root-cause explanation as to why our nation is how it is.

Anyone with a concern for the spiritual, moral, even socio-economic health of our nation needs to get to grips with the themes and connections laid bare in this episode.

Take your study further with the book that Lynda Rose edited: Mission Millions. And I highly recommend you subscribe to Voice for Justice UK’s mailing list for incisive and up-to-date analysis of the issues that really matter in our nation today.

Join us as Matt Cliff tunes in from Australia to talk about the silence of the church on the matter of abortion.

Recently the Guardian posted an article pushing a fake narrative on abortion. The fake news needs to stop.

Are you aware that UK Parliament has recently voted in contravention of the European Convention on Human Rights, repealing basic freedoms such as assembly, religion, and expression?  In this episode Christian and Dave unpack what this amendment to the Public Order Bill means for us all, and analyse in depth Stella Creasy MP's speech supporting it in the House of Commons.  Stella lays layer upon layer of deception and self-contradiction, even to the point of rewriting recent history, all the while trying to claim that she is a champion of free speech.

Second in a mini-series of three on the Silence of the Church, this week's episode features a conversation with Ben John of Christian Concern about why the Church must speak out on the baby genocide - and the damage that's done when we don't.  Listen in to find out why speaking out isn't an optional extra or a hobbyhorse: it's absolutely central to what it means to be a faithful disciple and follower of Jesus in the 21st century.

Christian and Dave react to the recent soup-throwing stunt of climate activists, and explain why it's the not the approach we favour when it comes to making abortion unthinkable.  What does effective social reform really look like? How do you effect massive social change? How can we be fruitful voices for the voiceless?  Listen in, and don't forget to go to cbruk.org/join to Join the Movement to end abortion.

In this week's episode we're so excited to be speaking with Dr Joe Boot of the Ezra Institute.  Freshly repatriated from Canada, Joe is eager to bring all that has to serve the UK Church and is starting an exciting new chapter in ministry.  No stranger to the UK, Joe has been a contributer to Christian Concern's Wilberforce Academy for many years and has written and spoken much into the UK Church context specifically, as well as on theology, culture, and apologetics more broadly.  His latest book, Ruler of Kings, is now available to buy.  Our conversation covers several important areas such as:  Does our call to engage in the world extend beyond evangelism? Is "abortion" a political issue or a religious issue? Should Christians get involved in politics? What do we make of Trump? What's the difference between evangelism and evangelisation? Should we respond to abortion "the American way"? Are theocracies so bad after all? Does the sacred/secular divide exist? Why is the UK Church so quiet about abortion?  We hope you enjoy and benefit from this conversation as much as we did.

It is estimated that on September 24th of this year, a significant line was crossed in England and Wales: the death toll under the Abortion Act 1967 reached 10 million.  In this week's episode Dave reflects on this sombre fact and asks the question:  Who killed the 10 millionth baby?  The response he gives may surprise you.  Tune in and consider afresh what the 10 millionth baby has to do with you and me...
