We've talked about sex, now it's time to talk about porn. Yep - porn. We're joined again by Rachel Gardner as Xenia and Mateus discuss with her how Christians should (or rather, shouldn't!) approach pornography. With the rise of anti-porn movements such as TraffickingHub and more, there's little doubts that it doesn't hold up ethically, but what about spiritually?If you want to learn more about the damages of Porn, or need help overcoming a battle with it, check out: www.nakedtruthproject.comFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/thewayukFOLLOW US ON TIK TOK: www.tiktok.com/@thewayukWant to know more?

Martin and Rachel are back again with a brand new series - Into God Knows What.This season of the podcast is all about looking ahead towards the future. In a world that feels uncertain and ever-changing how can we as practitioners help young people navigate paths that we haven't travelled ourselves? How do we chart out safe passage for ourselves, let alone those who are looking to us as we work with the teenagers around us? Come join us as we delve into the unknown, chat to experts and decipher and discern what this could mean for our youth work in this next season.Today we sit down with Dr. Gemma Madle as she brings her reflections and thoughts from the research she's been sifting through as part of the team at the Youthscape Centre for Research. If you want to explore some more of the wonderful research and work that the team are producing, head over to youthscape.co.uk/research

In this week's episode, we speak with Rachel Gardner, the conservation translocation officer for the executive agency Forestry England, about her job in species reintroductions.  Rachel takes us on a walk  back in time into England's ancient forests and shows us what the future of forests and the landscape could look like. She talks about her work in species reintroductions and recovery projects with their Forest Wilding Programs, and the delicate but critical balance that's needed to restore the health and diversity of forests and landscapes across the island of England. Forestry England says that “measuring and monitoring change” should be the bedrock of the larger plan and looking well into the future and what can be established now is critical to a successful plan. You could call this episode “Forests & Fairytales” after listening to Rachel tell the story of England's forests over time. There is something magical there, and saving these spaces of ancient beauty not only for us but for the creatures that live there is worth the incredible effort that Forestry England is making. A fairy tale worth telling for centuries to come. Lots of Love Kindred is hosted by Kate Coffin and Jenn Asplundh. Please find out more info and message us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠kindredpodcast.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Buckle up for the last episode of this season where we've looked at some of the most difficult questions within youth ministry. Martin and Rachel are in the hot seat answering rather than asking the questions and we dive straight in!

Rachel and Martin discuss the 'dark night of the soul' and Martin lets us know what strange request he received around a recent funeral.

God has called and redeemed us from a life of sin. Paul reminds us that the world is passing away and lifts us up to a higher standard. We then must evaluate our relationships from an eternal perspective. This is why Paul says that it can be considered preferable to stay single, but that marriage is the best option for most people. Unmarried people are able to better focus on the things of the Lord. A married person must devote a lot of energy to their spouse or kids. Marriage is then a distraction in some ways compared to the possibilities of an unmarried life. He calls us to understand the hard truth that our significant relationship will last until death, but after that, it will be as if we didn't have a spouse. That is our future whether we like it or not. However, we can still have these deep emotions in this life for another regardless. Singleness has its own advantage: to be devoted to the Lord without distraction.Connor returns to the podcast after a couple weeks to dive deeper into the advantages of singleness as a christian. Oh, and, Rachel Gardner, TBC's Worship Administrative Assistant, joins the podcast as a special guest to give us her perspective as a single christian woman.

Despite a career that might suggest otherwise, talking about ‘it' was never the aim, says youth worker and church planter Rachel Gardner. Her latest book is The Sex Thing: Reimagining Conversations with Young People About Sex but “My big thing is Jesus,” she says, adding, “because my big thing is Jesus, of course I talk about sex and masturbation and eating disorders and exam results and stress and mental health.” In this in depth interview, the pair discuss how the Church can get better at having tricky conversations with young people.   The Profile is brought to you in association with Premier Christianity.

Some of Rachel Gardner's first words during this one-hour conversation were a warning. “I'm going to bring plenty of sass to this interview.” She didn't disappoint. Adjectives such as ‘bubbly', ‘gregarious' or ‘extroverted' somehow feel insufficient when it comes to the president of Girls' Brigade England & Wales. Sassy is a much better descriptor. Whether preaching, writing or campaigning, Rachel combines her determined, driven nature with dollops of grace and compassion.  Follow Rachel on Twitter @rachelgardnerRA You can also read this interview in the latest edition of Premier Christianity magazine.

Listen to the talk Rachel Gardner (Relationship Lead at Youthscape, President of the Girl’s Brigade England and Wales, founder of the Romance Academy) gave at our four services on the relationship between Christ, culture, and us.

Often we hold back from coming close to God because of fear. Rachel explores Hebrews 4:14-16 and shares stories to remind us that we can boldly approach God because of Jesus, our high priest, who understands us better than we do ourselves.

This week, the New York Times marked the anniversary of the end of Prohibition with a special event at one of America's few women-owned distilleries, Republic Restoratives in Washington, DC. "Women in Whiskey, Sisters in Suds" featured a discussion of the role women play in distilling and brewing - both today and in history. We'll talk with Republic Restoratives co-founder Rachel Gardner and bring you the discussion on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the tentative Brexit deal between Great Britain and the European Union is being welcomed by Ireland's distillers and brewers on both sides of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Brown-Forman's stock price jumped after a positive quarterly earnings report, and Pernod Ricard plans to start exporting whiskies made by its unit in India.

When it comes to birth, dads are often left out in the cold. I mean this metaphorically and in reality. During pregnancy, a lot of the focus is on the mum. Dad is often neglected from appointments during pregnancy and a lot of the communications directed towards pregnant couples are actually for mum. Poor dads aren’t really being spoken to in all of this. And yet, they should be. There should be more information available on how to prepare dads for childbirth.. but where is it? Even if you put a simple google search how to prepare dads for childbirth you’ll only get a handful of articles show up. It’s a shocking state of affairs! The thing is, Dads-to-be are known to experience pregnancy symptoms alongside their partner and they also experience the hormonal changes. Their lack of knowledge around birth can lead to them experiencing a lot of fear too. Coupled with the fact that childbirth is an inherently female event, can make it terribly alienating for them. They too are about to become a parent. The thing is, dads are the best person to support mum throughout pregnancy and birth, and yet very little is being done to support them. One of my previous podcast guests is on a one-man mission to change all this. Mark Harris, who’s the man behind Birthing for Blokes, has just released a book, Men, Love and Birth and is working tirelessly to help prepare men for birth. Well, on today’s podcast I’ve got a guest who’s also throwing her weight behind supporting dads in birth. Today, I’m chatting to Rachel Gardner, founder of Doula Daddy. Rachel believes that dads are the perfect birthing companion and that all they need is some loving support to help guide them. Once they are equipped with the knowledge and practical tips, they can be amazing birth partners. Rachel is a highly experienced hypnobirthing teacher and doula, who has taught over 250 couples and attended 44 births. Rachel is Lead of Sheffield Maternity Services Liaison Committee and is currently working with midwives at Jessops on an exciting research project. Rachel’s great passion together with supporting couples (which includes dads as well as mums!) in pregnancy and birth, is supporting and protecting maternal mental health. Rachel lectures on this subject at Midwifery conferences and is currently helping Sheffield Public Health in this area. After years of teaching Hypnobirthing, Rachel was asked to attend a couple of births and enjoyed this so much she decided to train to be a doula. In the course of this training she was dismayed to find that the Doula’s in training were encouraged to give Dads little jobs to keep them busy “and out of the way”. This went against everything Rachel wanted for Dads at births and also for the Mothers. Rachel is a fierce believer in the role of the Father and Birth Partner at a birth. Rachel has long said that the difference between a good hypnobirth and an exceptional one is the Daddy/birth partner. In today’s episode, Rachel shares how she works with couples on how to prepare dads for childbirth. Rachel believes that midwives are the expert on birth, the mother is the expert on her body and her partner is the expert on her, and that mummy and daddy are the experts on their own birth. Some of the advice she has for dads which she shares includes; If you have positive thoughts about your partner during birth - share those with her, rather than keeping them to yourself. Shower her with love and affection… this does wonders for stimulating oxytocin during birth which helps keep labour moving Touch is super important: stroking, handholding, touching, kisses. Make sure there is that physical contact and support for mum ALL the time Pack some facecloths in dads bag so that you can run them under cold water to help cool mum down during birth if she needs it Have some bendy straws handy so that mum can have a drink Don’t wait for mum to ask for something that you think she might need during birth - lik...
