To mark one year since Matters of Life and Death joined the Premier Unbelievable network, we have a special one-off episode answering some questions emailed in by listeners. We discuss everything from whether Christians should lean into the culture wars to resist growing social liberalism, to how far we might go in suffering to care for elderly family members, and even whether it would be ethical to create lifelike child-sized sex robots to give to paedophiles in an effort to deter actual child abuse. Thank you to everyone who sent in questions, we’re sorry we couldn’t answer them all!

Is the idea of one God in three persons just a theological puzzle for scholars, or could it transform our understanding of God and ourselves? Discover how reflecting on Father, Son, and Spirit might unlock new meaning and practical insight for daily Christian living.

Ruth and Alister explore what those in Christian ministry learn from C.S. Lewis - the “very ordinary layman” who helped shape modern faith. Alister reflects on Lewis’ approach to prayer and spiritual growth, his vision for Mere Christianity and how his theology speaks to the challenges of living faithfully in a post-Christian culture.

This episode of Matters of Life and Death delves into the rise of Christian nationalism in Western politics. John Heathershaw, a Christian professor of international relations, unpacks whether longing for a “Christian nation” is helpful, harmful, or even idolatrous. The episode explores how Christians should engage in politics, what the gospel offers beyond national borders, and how faith responds to a world where power seems to triumph over principle.

In this episode, Prof Bob White - renowned geophysicist and former director of the Faraday Institute - tackles some of the toughest questions at the intersection of faith and science. Why do earthquakes, volcanoes, and genetic diseases exist in a world made by a good God? Is suffering in nature a sign of a broken creation, or is there a deeper purpose behind natural disasters? Join us as we explore suffering, creation, and the challenge of “natural evil.”

This episode explores the tension between being prophetic outsiders - standing apart from culture to call out evil - and incarnational insiders - engaging deeply to influence society for good. Drawing inspiration from the unexpected meeting of Elijah and Obadiah in the Old Testament, we ask: What kind of witness is most faithful to Jesus today?
