In this episode, from an elective at the 2025 Priscilla & Aquila Centre annual conference held on Monday 3 February 2025, Dr Kath Bruce, a GP, speaks about the medical side of menopause, and Cathy Young, Pastor at St David's Anglican Church in Forestville, Sydney, speaks about the ministry implications of menopause.

They remind us that understanding perimenopause and menopause will help us understand many of the women in our churches and many of the women we are seeking to reach with the gospel.

Even if you’re not a woman, let me encourage you to listen to Kath and Cathy’s talks, particularly if you are involved in pastoral ministry.

Please note: the book Kath Bruce refers to at the end of her talk is Pause: How to enjoy God, find hope and bear fruit through midlife and the menopause by Sarah Allen. Also, this episode is a companion piece to last week’s bonus episode with Kate Snell on the theology of menopause. If you have not heard that one, I encourage you to go back and listen.
