    The Pro-Life Movement Needs to Hear This

    Send us Fan Mail Abortion is one of the most difficult and divisive issues in Australia today. As the pro-life movement gains traction, Christians need to ask not only what we believe, but how we are carrying those convictions. In this episode, Cass speaks as a pro-lifer to pro-lifers. She gives a snapshot of abortion law and culture in Australia, reflects on Psalm 139, and addresses the growing infighting between incrementalists and abolitionists in the pro-life movement. But this is not just about politics or strategy. It is also about women facing unplanned pregnancies. Many women who seek abortion are scared, misinformed, unsupported, pressured, or convinced they have no other option. If Christians are going to speak up for unborn children, we must also be ready to support women in crisis. The unborn child is not disposable.  But the woman is not the enemy. We must speak truth.  We must defend life.  And we must support pregnancy centres doing the work on the ground. Topics covered: Abortion in Australia Pro-life movement in Australia Psalm 139 and unborn life Incrementalists vs abolitionists Christian character in public debate Women facing unplanned pregnancies Pregnancy centres and practical support Why Christians must be people of word and deed Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.  Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

    Porn in the Pews & Fallen Leaders at the Pulpit

    Send us Fan Mail What should Christians do when a respected ministry leader is disqualified? In this episode, Cass reflects on the recent news surrounding Sam Allberry and explores a broader question facing the Church today: when Christian leaders fall into sin, should we reject everything they have ever taught? Drawing from Scripture, church history, and current events, Cass discusses repentance, restoration, leadership qualifications, cancel culture, and why wisdom is needed when evaluating the legacy of fallen leaders. She also turns to a far less discussed issue: pornography in the Church. If we are outraged when pastors are disqualified for sexual immorality, are we taking seriously the widespread struggle with pornography and sexual addiction happening within our congregations? This episode is a call for biblical discernment, consistency, repentance, and grace. In this episode:  The Sam Allberry situation and church accountability  What disqualifies a Christian leader?  Should we cancel everything a fallen leader taught?  What Scripture teaches about repentance and restoration  Why God has always used broken people  The hidden pornography crisis in the Church  Why churches need better support for those struggling with sexual sin  How to think wisely about leadership, grace, and truth Timestamps 00:00 Introduction  06:19 The Sam Allberry situation explained  10:40 What qualifies someone for church leadership?  16:30 Should we cancel a leader's past teaching?  22:20 Can God still use flawed people?  28:15 False teachers vs repentant leaders  34:00 The church's pornography problem  39:10 What the latest research reveals  44:00 Why churches must do better  48:30 Final reflections on grace, wisdom and accountability Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.  Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

    Voluntary Assisted Dying, Dignity & the Christian View of Death with Andrew Sloane

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Her Theology, I’m joined by theologian and ethicist Dr Andrew Sloane to discuss voluntary assisted dying, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, palliative care, dignity, suffering and the Christian view of death. Voluntary assisted dying is now legal across most of Australia, and the conversation is only growing. But how should Christians think about it? Is euthanasia an act of compassion? What is the difference between voluntary assisted dying, palliative care, withdrawing treatment and physician-assisted suicide? And what does Scripture teach us about human dignity, suffering, autonomy, community and death? In this conversation, we discuss:  the difference between euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide and voluntary assisted dying  why palliative care is not the same as euthanasia  where voluntary assisted dying laws currently sit in Australia  why Canada and the Netherlands raise serious ethical concerns  autonomy, suffering and the slippery slope argument  whether Christians should support voluntary assisted dying  what it means to die with dignity  the difference between prolonging life and prolonging dying  why medicine should be understood as care, not just cure  how Christians should think about death as an enemy  the biblical basis for human dignity and the image of God  why community matters when we care for the dying  how the church can tell better stories about death, care and hope This is a deeply personal and theological conversation about one of the most important ethical issues facing Australia today. If you are wrestling with questions around euthanasia, assisted dying, palliative care, end-of-life care, suffering, medical ethics or Christian bioethics, this episode will help you think biblically, carefully and compassionately. Topics covered: voluntary assisted dying, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, palliative care, Christian ethics, medical ethics, dignity, death, suffering, end-of-life care, pro-life ethics, Australia VAD laws, Canada euthanasia laws, Christian view of death, image of God, autonomy, community and care.

    Gender Identity, Women’s Spaces & the Evidence We Were Told Not to Question

    Send us Fan Mail Australia’s gender identity debate is no longer theoretical. The Giggle v Tickle case has exposed how difficult it is for women to maintain female-only spaces under current Australian law. In this episode, I look at how we got here, from the 2013 changes to the Sex Discrimination Act, to shifting medical language around gender dysphoria and gender incongruence, to the growing international backlash against unquestioned “gender-affirming care.” We also discuss the Cass Review in the UK, the new detransition clinic in Texas, the stories of detransitioners becoming harder to ignore, and why the evidence around desistance, suicide and medical transition is far more complicated than the slogans suggest. This is not about cruelty. It is about truth, compassion, women’s spaces, children’s safety, and why Australians need to speak clearly while there is still time.

    The Gospel & the Restoration of Relationships with Alastair Roberts

    Send us Fan Mail Get your tickets to see Alastair live in Sydney, Wednesday 17th June - https://singleminded.community/?event=cross-related On this episode of Her Theology,  I'm joined by theologian, writer and cultural commentator Alastair Roberts to explore how the Gospel transforms our understanding of relationships, community, identity and the church. We live in a culture marked by loneliness, isolation, fractured families, digital connection without true community, and growing confusion around identity and belonging. So how should Christians think about relationships in a deeply individualistic age? Together we discuss: how modern culture has reshaped relationshipsthe rise of autonomy and radical individualismloneliness and isolation in the digital agehow technology and social media affect communitywhy human beings are relational by designthe church as the household and family of Godthe Gospel’s power to restore broken relationshipsfriendship, marriage and community in Scriptureembodied relationships vs online relationshipsrelationships between men and womengenerational relationships in the churchbiblical view of relationshipspatterns and themes throughout Scripture and relationshipshealing from church hurt and relational painwhy Christian community matters more than everAlastair explains how the Gospel doesn’t simply improve relationships — it fundamentally reorders them. From family and friendship to church and society, Christianity offers a radically different vision of what it means to belong, love, forgive, serve and live together as human beings made in the image of God. This conversation will especially resonate with those wrestling with: lonelinesschurch hurtisolationidentityfriendshipbroken familiesmodern dating cultureChristian communitydiscipleshipbelongingTopics Covered: Christian relationships, theology of relationships, Gospel and community, loneliness, church family, Christian friendship, biblical community, individualism, identity, modern culture, social media and isolation, discipleship, embodiment, church life, family, theology and culture.
