TRIGGER WARNING - this podcast contains description of abuse which some listeners may find upsetting.

Each month, we’ll be taking a break from our regular podcast to bring you a brand-new Heroes of the Faith episode. In this series, we’ll explore the lives of key Christian women throughout history, guided by expert guests. Our hope is to find inspiration and encouragement as we reflect on how their faith shaped every area of their lives.

In our first Heroes of the Faith episode, we’re joined by author Sarah Williams to explore the remarkable life of Josephine Butler—an English feminist and social reformer in the Victorian era. Driven by deep Christian conviction, Josephine fought for justice and dignity, bringing real and lasting change to the lives of some of the most marginalised women in society.
