    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.

    Children or Adults First? The Ethical Crisis in Modern Families with Katy Faust

In this episode, I sit down with Katy Faust to unpack one of the most confronting ethical issues of our time: how modern decisions around IVF, divorce, surrogacy, and family structure are impacting children.
