Feeling anxious is a struggle many of us know well and it can seem impossible to escape. There are millions of self-help resources out there - ironically enough to make you anxious. In this episode we speak to Helen Thorne - an experienced counsellor and also someone with significant personal experience of anxiety. We speak about the causes of anxiety, the danger of coping mechanisms and about how the Christian faith can offer real hope in the face of anxiety.

Helen Thorne has written an excellent book on this topic:

Sex life - It's one of Netflix’s most watched shows of 2021 and it's best know for full on fantasy but not much reality.  So in this Table Talk we try to inject some much needed reality into the conversation on sex & relationships by interviewing a panel of 4 real life  people who share their honest experiences. Christians are not known for talking openly  about sex  - so you could see this episode as a  rare window of opportunity!
