    The 1975 Tape the ABC Tried to Bury – Whistleblower Defies Gag Order

    In 1975, Australia’s national broadcaster the ABC, aired a radio program where adult men openly bragged about sexually abusing boys. For fifty years, that tape was buried. Until whistleblower John Adams broke a legal gag order to expose it. But this story isn’t just about one broadcast. It’s about a pattern, how the sexualization of children has been quietly normalized through media, education, and politics for decades. From the Lateline pedophile tape to today’s gender ideology and sex-ed curriculum, the same darkness is being repackaged as “progress.” In this explosive episode, PJ and cultural commentator Kurt Marlberg connect the dots between a 1975 cover-up, the current free-speech battle in the U.S. Supreme Court, and the global movement to blur the lines between innocence and ideology. 👉 What started as a “discussion” in 1975 has become a cultural agenda. Watch as we ask: • How did the sexualization of children become mainstream? • Why are powerful institutions protecting it? • And what can ordinary people do to push back with truth and courage? 🔗 Listen & subscribe: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0qRJy4l... ✉️ Join our newsletter: lovequestionspodcast.com

    Her Girlfriend Converted… It Turned Her Life Upside Down

    When Kiran’s long-term girlfriend had a radical encounter with Jesus, everything in their relationship changed overnight. What happened next was something neither of them expected. Alone in her home — with no church, no pastor, and no scripted prayer — Kiran felt a conviction that shattered everything she believed about her identity, her sexuality, and her future. “I didn’t design you this way.” That moment broke the lie she had built her whole life on. In this powerful conversation, Kiran (now part of X-Out-Loud, a global movement amplifying testimonies of people leaving LGBT identities through faith) shares: • Growing up in a Sikh household in the UK • Early same-sex attraction and the loneliness she carried • How media shaped her identity • Her girlfriend’s unexpected conversion to Christianity • The moment Jesus spoke to her with no one else present • What repentance looked like without church involvement • How the church responded — and what needs to change • Why honest, vulnerable conversations matter for real transformation This is not a debate. This is a story of conviction, surrender, and the gentle voice of God calling someone home. 🎙️ Listen to the X-Out-Loud Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast...

    Criminalised for Supporting Marriage: The Matthew Grech Story

    What happens when sharing your testimony becomes a crime? In this episode of The Love Questions Podcast, PJ sits down with Matthew Grech — a Maltese singer, former X Factor contestant, and Christian who made international headlines after he was criminally charged simply for sharing his story of leaving same-sex relationships and standing for marriage between one man and one woman. Matthew’s case became a landmark moment in Europe’s free speech battle. He wasn’t accused of harming anyone. He wasn’t promoting therapy. His “crime” was talking about his faith, his journey, and his beliefs. In this conversation, Matthew opens up about: Growing up in Malta’s aggressive LGBT culture His season of same-sex relationships His spiritual encounter with Jesus Why he spoke publicly about sexuality and marriage The backlash, the police interrogation, and the court case His music, worship, and calling Why he still believes marriage is worth standing for How he finds joy, peace, and courage under pressure Whether you agree with Matthew or not, his story raises important questions about freedom, identity, faith, and whether we’re still allowed to disagree publicly in a modern Western democracy. This is an honest, vulnerable, and thoughtful conversation — not a political debate. 🔗 FOLLOW MATTHEW GRECH / X-OUTLOUD YouTube:    / @xoutloud   Instagram: @xoutloud Website: https://xoutloud.com 🔗 FOLLOW THE LOVE QUESTIONS PODCAST Website: https://lovequestionspodcast.com Instagram:   / love_questions_podcast   TikTok:   / love_questions_podcast   Facebook:   / 61577286917971   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0qRJy4l...

They explore: 🔥 Why pastors avoid political conversations (and why that must change) 🔥 How the Gospel intersects with politics without becoming partisan 🔥 The cultural cost of silence inside the Church 🔥 Why “freedom of religion” has been twisted into “freedom from religion” 🔥 How believers can think critically, engage wisely, and speak truth with love If you’ve ever wondered whether faith belongs in politics or what happens when it’s pushed out this conversation will challenge you to rethink everything. 💬 Join the conversation What do you think, should the Church speak up more on political issues?
