When Lucy climbed into the wardrobe, C.S. Lewis opened a world that has enchanted children and adults for generations. And it’s why we dedicated a Life Issues to the 75th anniversary of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. But the truth is there was so much more to C.S. Lewis than Narnia – books on faith/love and Sci fi – a boy from Belfast who could hold court in academia – and a man who gave hope to a nation in darkest times. So, in this week’s Life Issues join us as we discover C.S. Lewis: Beyond the wardrobe.

How Christianity changed the world, for the better
[Originally broadcast the week of 14th March 2022]It can increasingly feel as if we are living in a society that has moved on from Christianity – either deeming it irrelevant or responsible for doing more harm than good. In this Life Issues, Sharon James encourages us to take confidence from and maybe shout about the way Christianity has changed the world, and share a Gospel that is and has always been a force for good.

When we don't have the words, how can liturgy can help
[Originally broadcast the week of 20th October 2024]Words are one of the most powerful tools we have but often they can escape us. Particularly when it comes to prayer. But what if we don't need the "right" words or even our words? In this week's Life Issues Helen Lea is exploring the ancient practice of liturgy with authors of Liturgies for Hope & Liturgies for Wholeness Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore.
On Life Issues we talk about the topics that affect our personal lives and our world - even the difficult topics, because we believe that our faith and our God have something to say on everything that touches us.New episodes available every Monday.
