Parenting can often feel overwhelming. We want to raise our children well, disciple them faithfully, and navigate the pressures of modern family life, yet many of us feel like we're making it up as we go.
In this episode, I sit down with Harriet Connor and Andrew Horsfield, contributors to Parenting in God's Family Volume 2, to talk about the realities of parenting, discipleship, fatherhood, motherhood, family life, and the role of the church in raising children.
We discuss parenting failures, finding healthy limits, why children need more than just their parents, the importance of fathers taking responsibility for discipleship, and how modern culture has reshaped our understanding of family.
Whether you're parenting toddlers, teenagers, or preparing for family life in the future, this conversation offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement.

What should Christians do when a respected ministry leader is disqualified?
In this episode, Cass reflects on the recent news surrounding Sam Allberry and explores a broader question facing the Church today: when Christian leaders fall into sin, should we reject everything they have ever taught?
Drawing from Scripture, church history, and current events, Cass discusses repentance, restoration, leadership qualifications, cancel culture, and why wisdom is needed when evaluating the legacy of fallen leaders.
She also turns to a far less discussed issue: pornography in the Church. If we are outraged when pastors are disqualified for sexual immorality, are we taking seriously the widespread struggle with pornography and sexual addiction happening within our congregations?
This episode is a call for biblical discernment, consistency, repentance, and grace.
In this episode:
 The Sam Allberry situation and church accountability 
 What disqualifies a Christian leader? 
 Should we cancel everything a fallen leader taught? 
 What Scripture teaches about repentance and restoration 
 Why God has always used broken people 
 The hidden pornography crisis in the Church 
 Why churches need better support for those struggling with sexual sin 
 How to think wisely about leadership, grace, and truth

In this episode of Her Theology, I’m joined by theologian and ethicist Dr Andrew Sloane to discuss voluntary assisted dying, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, palliative care, dignity, suffering and the Christian view of death.
Voluntary assisted dying is now legal across most of Australia, and the conversation is only growing. But how should Christians think about it? Is euthanasia an act of compassion? What is the difference between voluntary assisted dying, palliative care, withdrawing treatment and physician-assisted suicide? And what does Scripture teach us about human dignity, suffering, autonomy, community and death?
In this conversation, we discuss:
 the difference between euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide and voluntary assisted dying 
 why palliative care is not the same as euthanasia 
 where voluntary assisted dying laws currently sit in Australia 
 why Canada and the Netherlands raise serious ethical concerns 
 autonomy, suffering and the slippery slope argument 
 whether Christians should support voluntary assisted dying 
 what it means to die with dignity 
 the difference between prolonging life and prolonging dying 
 why medicine should be understood as care, not just cure 
 how Christians should think about death as an enemy 
 the biblical basis for human dignity and the image of God 
 why community matters when we care for the dying 
 how the church can tell better stories about death, care and hope 
This is a deeply personal and theological conversation about one of the most important ethical issues facing Australia today.
If you are wrestling with questions around euthanasia, assisted dying, palliative care, end-of-life care, suffering, medical ethics or Christian bioethics, this episode will help you think biblically, carefully and compassionately.
Topics covered: voluntary assisted dying, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, palliative care, Christian ethics, medical ethics, dignity, death, suffering, end-of-life care, pro-life ethics, Australia VAD laws, Canada euthanasia laws, Christian view of death, image of God, autonomy, community and care.

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.
