Her Theology

This is the first episode of a new fortnightly Her Theology segment where we look at cultural and societal events through a biblical lens.
In this episode, Cass walks through three major conversations shaping the cultural moment:
 The viral Trump “Christ-like” AI image and what it reveals about power, pride and modern political idolatry 
 New survey data from the Australian Christian Lobby shows a shift in public opinion on gender ideology 
 The rise of assisted dying across the West and what it means for hope, suffering and the value of human life 
Anchored in John 1 and John 3, this episode explores how Christians can bring truth into confusion, light into darkness, and clarity into emotionally charged issues.
This isn’t about reacting emotionally.
 It’s about thinking biblically.
Topics covered:
Christian worldview, culture commentary, Trump meme, gender ideology, puberty blockers, ACL survey, euthanasia, assisted dying, biblical truth, cultural analysis

What does it actually mean to learn Christ?
In a world flooded with information, content, and constant noise, many Christians are consuming more than ever, but growing less.
In this episode, I sit down with Colin Marsh to unpack what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. We talk about the reality of cultural “discipleship,” why many believers feel stuck, and how to pursue real spiritual maturity, not just more knowledge, but transformed lives.
This is a practical and theological conversation about learning, doctrine, discipleship, and what it looks like to grow in Christ in today’s world.

AI is moving fast. Real fast.  It's creating a little bit of a chaotic response, and the opinions vary greatly. From job disruption to AI companions, there seems to be a lot of concern around the future and AI (& tech in general).  All this frames a conversation from practical to ethics and identity. What does it mean to be human? 
In this episode, I sit down with Akos Balogh to cut through the hype and think clearly about AI from a Christian perspective.
We talk about what’s actually happening (not just what headlines say), the real ethical concerns, and how AI is already shaping the way we think, relate, and live.
This isn’t a fear-driven conversation.
It’s about wisdom, discernment, and how to navigate a world that’s changing rapidly, without losing sight of what’s true and, most importantly, biblical.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with Luna from Alabaster Ministries.
In this episode, we move beyond her story and begin unpacking the beliefs, practices, and rapid growth of the New Age movement.
We talk about how to engage people caught up in these practices, how to evangelise with wisdom and patience, and why discernment is critical for Christians today.
We also discuss specific practices like yoga, tarot, astrology, and other forms of divination — and why these things are not spiritually neutral.

This week I’m joined by Luna from Alabaster Ministries to hear her story of leaving the New Age and coming to faith in Christ.
Before becoming a Christian, Luna was deeply involved in witchcraft, Wicca, yoga philosophy, tarot, shamanism, spirit guides, and occult spiritual practices. In this conversation she shares what first drew her in, the spiritual experiences she had, and the moment Jesus met her in the darkness and called her to follow Him.
We also talk about the appeal of the New Age, why it feels so convincing, and how the local church helped ground her in Scripture and truth after her conversion.
