Tim Dieppe Responds to Today’s Biggest Questions

In this in-depth conversation, host Luke Thornton sits down with Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern, for a clear-eyed look at the cultural and legal battles facing Christians in Britain today.

Tim shares his journey from fund manager to full-time defender of Christian values, triggered by studying Islam after 9/11 and a wake-up call over Sharia finance. He explains the day-to-day work of Christian Concern—handling around a thousand calls a year from people facing workplace pressure, legal threats, or ideological demands—and why there is no truly neutral public square.

The discussion covers major flashpoints: transgender ideology and the turning tide, high-profile cases such as Jennifer Melle (suspended for “misgendering”), the Darlington nurses, Luke Salmons, and street preachers; the growing threat to religious freedom; lessons from assisted suicide laws in Canada and the Netherlands; practical advice for parents navigating schools; grooming gangs and the need for honest inquiry; and the importance of moral courage. Tim also offers a pastoral word to LGBT listeners and looks ahead to signs of both judgment and possible revival in the coming decade.

A thoughtful, unflinching episode for anyone wanting to understand what’s at stake—and how ordinary people can respond with clarity and conviction.
