Transcribe →Reconciled by Christ | Talk 1 | Resident Doctors Conference 2025
Nov 1900:45:54Tap to summarizeSurrounded as we are by philosophies of self-help, mindfulness, manifesting, and resilience, it's easy to lose confidence in Jesus Christ. As Christian health professionals, we need to recover an approach to life and work that is grounded in him. That is what the Apostle Paul presents to us in his letter to the Colossian church. Dr Paul Coulter's opening talk at the 2025 CMF Resident Doctors Conference digs into the first two chapters of this letter and explores how Jesus is supreme in everything and is all we need to live life to the full.Support the show

Finger on the Pulse | S2, E4: no-one mourns the Wicked
Dec 11, 202400:47:39Tap to summarizeThis week, Sally and Ben discuss the recently released film, ‘ Wicked’, and in particular, the film’s counter-cultural emphasis on friendship. They also survey the latest news on the Assisted Dying Bill and how they're thinking about it now that it has passed its second reading. References:In the show, Ben and Sally mention that the Bill passed with a majority of 55 MPs – that means that just 28 MPs would need to shift from a 'yes' to a 'no' vote (or abstain) to see this defeated at the third reading. The article below shows that some MPs who voted 'yes' (more than 28) did so while stating public concerns. They could switch their vote if their concerns cannot be addressed by the committee stage:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/assisted-dying-mps-vote-bill-b2656510.html Transforming Friendship: Investing in the Next Generation- Lessons from John Stott and others, book by John Wyatthttps://ivpbooks.com/transforming-friendship Support the show
