Peter Teagle has 20 years experience of working with international students and delivering talks to multi-cultural audiences events across the UK in that time. He has put his experience of answering questions of the Christian faith into a book that aims to both help the UK church and answer the questions internationals are asking. We will be discussing the differences in questions and experiences for international students and why the UK church should adapt their student ministries rather than expect internationals to assimilate. We will also be talking about what it means to contextualise the gospel message and where Christians often get this wrong.

Are Christians transphobic? Why are churches not inclusive? How do Christians view gender? We're talking with Andrew Bunt about gender, what the bible says about it and why the church is still good news for those who are trans. Andrew is part of the leadership team at King’s Church Hastings and Bexhill and is also a speaker and writer with Living Out. He studied theology at Durham University and King’s College London, specialising in biblical studies and biblical languages. He loves helping people to understand and apply the Bible and loves wrestling with big cultural issues. He is the author of 'Who in Heaven’s Name Do You Think You Are?' (Charis Books, 2014). He regularly contributes for www.livingout.org and his story can be found here: https://www.livingout.org/resources/podcasts/1/meet-the-authors-1-andrew-bunt #gender #inclusion #christianity --- About the channel --- Dan and Phil are mates who like talking apologetics, philosophy, ethics and theology.

We're talking to Anne about her journey with Christianity. On a more personal note, we are discussing sexuality and how she supports people who are attracted to the same sex and the challenges that raises for those who follow Jesus. We will be discussing why Anne holds the view she does about sexuality as well as how Christians can be better at providing community for all. From Anne's website: I wholeheartedly believe in the mission to invite people, families and communities into life-transforming relationships with Jesus. My local ministry is focused on sharing my faith, discipling Christians, social action and outreach. I also have a national role which involves telling the better story of biblical sexuality, encouraging churches in supporting same-sex attracted members and giving positive teaching on singleness, marriage, celibacy and community so that everyone can thrive.
