I’m joined by Christian philosopher William Lane Craig and atheist theologian Emily Qureshi-Hurst to discuss the question: 'Is Christian theism compatible with our best understanding of the nature of time?'
Craig defends the 'A theory' - that time flows from past, to present, to future. Qureshi-Hurst defends the 'B' theory - that all times exist at once. In a mind-expanding conversation, they discuss the implications of their different views for the nature of God and the doctrine of salvation in Christian faith.

Can Christians affirm gay relationships? Two same-sex attracted Christians join me to discuss why they disagree on sexuality, marriage, celibacy and scripture.
Matthew Vines is the author of 'God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships'. He represents the 'Side A' view that faithful monogamous gay marriage can be affirmed by orthodox Christians.
David Bennett is the author of 'A War Of Loves' and forthcoming books 'Queering the Queer in Contemporary Theology' and 'Beyond Compromise'. He represents the 'Side B' view that heterosexual marriage is God's design for sex, and that LGBT Christians are called to celibacy and friendship.
This episode will release to the public on 17 June, but regular Silver and Gold level supporters can watch it RIGHT NOW!
“What you are doing with Uncommon Ground is exceptional. I've enjoyed many of the shows you have produced/hosted, but Uncommon Ground is filling a unique need absent in the ‘religion and spirituality’ space: long form conversations between peers on areas of substantive disagreements regarding core issues.”

They’re spiritual but not religious. They’re curious and have big questions. And they’re turning online for spiritual guidance. But given that they often have a “pick and mix” approach to faith, how can we help Gen Zs discover Jesus, the one true God?
In this episode of Gen Z Insights, Peter Dray, author of the IFES report Gen Z Insights for Global Student Ministry, shares his findings on Gen Z’s spiritual openness around the world.
Afterwards, series host Annette Arulrajah, Associate Generation Secretary of IFES, is joined by guests from IFES student movements and beyond (including myself!) to share their perspectives.
Belle has written a book! The co-host of Re-Enchanting joins me and Graham Tomlin to talk about manifesting, witchcraft, nature worship and more as they explore Belle's new book 'The Sacred Ache: A Christian perspective on the search for spirituality in witchcraft, crystals and tarot'.
Reflecting on many interviews with former podcast guests, we explore the positive and negative aspects of re-enchantment in contemporary culture.
Alicia Edmund is head of public policy for the Evangelical Alliance and leads the advocacy team’s parliamentary engagement. She has worked on a range of issues including: asylum resettlement, refugee integration, poverty relief and religious freedom in the UK and overseas.
Recently Alicia has been deeply involved in conversations on the rise of Christian Nationalism in the UK, helping policy makers and churches understand and engage with the use (and at times misuse) of Christian language and symbols in rallies, protests and politics.
Is there a better way to pursue love of country and Christ? I ask Alicia whether we can re-enchant…. Christian Nationalism.
