In a recent Matters of Life podcast (https://www.johnwyatt.com/did-ending-roe-v-wade-actually-save-unborn-childrens-lives/) John and Tim Wyatt made the claim that changing abortion law does little or nothing to reduce the number of abortions - echoing the claim often made by the abortion lobby. Here we take a fresh look at recent and historic data and question this interpretation - and the kind of approach that such an interpretation can encourage. https://secularprolife.org/abortion-rates/ A comprehensive list of and links to the secular pro-life studies referenced with regards to restrictions and abortion rates in the US. https://secularprolife.org/myths/ An excellent presentation which deconstructs the myth perpetrated by Guttmacher, that abortion law and abortion rates are not linked.

Common objections to speaking on “abortion” in church: A mini-series for church leaders Dave and Tim unpack the main reasons church leaders give for not speaking on "abortion". In each case they reveal the common misconceptions behind these concerns, and how they are not valid reasons for silence. This series will encourage and embolden church leaders to address the issue of "abortion" in their church confidently, and see that the churches who directly address "abortion" bear much fruit. #myth-busting Objection #4: "I can’t speak on abortion because I’m just here to preach the gospel. Abortion is a side issue. If I talk about abortion, it will distract from the gospel."   With 1 in 4 babies aborted in the UK today, why is this not a side issue? Why is talking about "abortion" essential for everyone’s discipleship? Why is addressing "abortion" an outworking of the gospel, not a distraction from the gospel? Join Dave and Tim as they discuss why silence on "abortion" in a bid to "just preach the gospel" is in fact a witholding of the fullness of the gospel itself.

Abortion is a woman’s issue. I’ll never have to go through it, so what right have I to talk about it? Conversely, Dave and Tim ask how men dare not talk about abortion.

It’s too sensitive a topic, especially for women who have had abortions. Tim and Dave talk about how grateful people are to hear the painful topic of abortion addressed in church, and how it releases those who are post-abortive into full healing.

What if the "don't do politics" churches are actually themselves radically politicised? What if, in a bid to "just preach the gospel", we've reduced the gospel to less than the gospel? What's the difference between liberalising "social gospel" and biblically faithful "salt and light"? What part does justice have to play in the mission of the Church? Did Martin Luther have a dark side? What is the greatest challenge facing the UK Church today? Dave speaks with theologian, writer, preacher Dr Aaron Edwards about the excesses and blindspots of the "just preach the gospel" movement in the UK evangelical Church.

Dean is here in the UK for another couple of weeks this January: come and meet him and hear him in person at a location near you! www.brephos.org/event Do we have to choose between gospel ministry and pro-life ministry? Is justice work a distraction from gospel work? Or does the gospel get in the way of saving babies? Can Christians be "non-directive" in pregnancy counselling work? What can UK Christians learn from USA Christians - the good, the bad, the ugly - as we begin the fight for the unborn on this side of the Atlantic? Dave is joined by special guest Dean Gavaris, Director of Gateway, a pro-life, pro-gospel pregnancy centre in New Jersey, USA, which has seen thousands of women choose life for their baby and thousands of women turn to Christ over the last 38 years.

Many are flocking to the likes of Jordan Peterson for a courage and clarity on moral issues that they are quite simply not finding in the Church. What are we to make of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship? Should Christians get involved? In what ways do we need to caution or critique this movement, and perhaps more importantly, how do we need to let it challenge and correct us? Will the ARC survive, let alone thrive? Is this the vehicle for positive social change, including for the unborn? Can the ARC make it without Jesus? Dave considers the ARC in the light of Isaiah 26, and then uses the ARC as a negative mirror for the Church, showing us what we've got and where we're lacking. Glen Scrivener's excellent analysis of Peterson's "gospel": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omNdy1hDq70 Apologies for this episode's low-quality visuals; Dave is learning the ropes on some new technology!
