  • The big picture: Creation

    The big picture: Creation
    2025/12/24
    Over the Christmas break, we’re going to be returning to a series we did on Matters of Life and Death a few years ago, exploring the theological underpinnings of much of what we discuss on the podcast. Many Christians, going back to church fathers, have understood the grand narrative of scripture through a four-part journey: from Creation, to Fall, to Redemption, to New Creation. This week we are beginning with creation. Why is it that some traditions in the church have developed such hostility and suspicion of everything beyond the church walls? Is it Biblical or godly to hold such fear for what he has made? How can we rediscover the character of God – his truthfulness, goodness and beauty – in his creation? And how can believers faithfully celebrate what he has made? • You can send in your questions for us to discuss on the podcast, or ideas for future episodes, to molad@premier.org.uk • Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 • If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com • Find some of Tim's journalism and sign up for free to his weekly church news newsletter The Critical Friend: https://tswyatt.com • For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com

  • Unlocking the menopause, with Dr Rosslyn Perkins

    Unlocking the menopause, with Dr Rosslyn Perkins
    2025/12/17
    A MOLAD listener got in touch with a fascinating question about hormone replacement therapy and the menopause. If some Christians are becoming sceptical about using hormonal contraception, should they be equally sceptical about the widespread use of hormone replacement therapy for women going through the menopause? Are our bodies good exactly as God made them, or is taking additional hormones just a non-controversial medical treatment to help women with their menopause symptoms? And why does the church find it so hard to walk with women through this inevitable part of aging in the first place? We’re joined by Christian GP Rosslyn Perkins to understand all things HRT and menopause, and consider what the Christian tradition has to say to women (and the men in their lives) wrestling with these questions. Some helpful resources Rosslyn recommends: Pause by Sarah Allen - https://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/pause?srsltid=AfmBOoqYVGhrb2jJCHaRqwiOlqhfCamQ3r4cfrof42b66SYU6L7uFqT- Identity Theft, edited by Melissa Kruger - https://icmbooks.co.uk/product/29165/identity-theft-reclaiming-the-truth-of-our-identity-in-christ Lost in the Middle by Paul David Tripp - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Middle-MidLife-Grace-God-ebook/dp/B005NJC7RW The British Menopause Society - https://thebms.org.uk/ Rock My Menopause course - https://rockmy.com/course/rockmy-menopause-course-everything-you-need-to-know-about-menopause/ Menopause Matters - https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/ • You can send in your questions for us to discuss on the podcast, or ideas for future episodes, to molad@premier.org.uk • Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 • If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com • Find some of Tim's journalism and sign up for free to his weekly church news newsletter The Critical Friend: https://tswyatt.com • For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com

  • Designer babies: Are children commodities or gifts?

    Designer babies: Are children commodities or gifts?
    2025/12/10
    We begin by exploring the remarkable offering of PickYourBaby.com, from a company which claims it can help you select the precise genetic inheritance of your child through IVF, to ensure your offspring are taller, more beautiful, healthier and cleverer. There are plenty of questions around the supposed science of this, and its ethics. But beyond all that, why is this kind of service attractive to would-be parents in the 2020s? What does our culture think children are for, and what might a Christian narrative of parenthood and procreation say in response? We discussed so-called liberal eugenics and efforts to use DBA sequencing and IVF to ‘improve’ the quality of newer generations in an episode last year too: https://www.johnwyatt.com/dna-parenthood-and-selecting-for-iq-the-surprising-return-of-eugenics/ • You can send in your questions for us to discuss on the podcast, or ideas for future episodes, to molad@premier.org.uk • Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 • If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com • Find some of Tim's journalism and sign up for free to his weekly church news newsletter The Critical Friend: https://tswyatt.com • For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com
