Adam Curtis explores this question, and many others, in conversation with Simon Wenham in his latest PEP Talk Podcast @solascpc ‘A Better Love: Sexual Identity and Sharing Christ.
Thanks so much for having us, Simon.

Francis Schaeffer, evangelical apologist and founder of L’Abri, dies in Minnesota. Known for books like Escape from Reason and The God Who Is There, Schaeffer equipped Christians to confront moral relativism and engage culture through a biblical worldview.
I don't subscribe to the speaker's sexual ethics, but she gives a marvellously brave rebuttal against the current gender madness prevalent in the cultural west.
"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead."
I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:
We believe that cost shouldn't be a barrier to anyone training for ministry and mission.
That's why Union is delighted to share a number of part-scholarship opportunities for students beginning their training in September 2026.
Baroness Berger (@lucianaberger) reiterates the fact that not a single Royal College will attest to the safety of this Bill.
Why do some Peers believe they know better than those who would have to deliver it?
Japanese football fans have been praised online after staying behind to clean up Wembley Stadium following their team’s 1–0 victory over England.

Here are a few I often pray.
"I don't know what to do, but my eyes are on You." 2 Chron. 20:12
"I believe, help my unbelief." Mk. 9:24
"Lord, save me." Mt. 14:30
"Lord, help me." Mt. 15:25
"Jesus, have mercy on us." Lk. 17:40
When I was a Youth Pastor, in my mid-20's, a very wise and experienced pastor told me:

I wrote that advice in my Bible, and have never forgotten it.
