There are deep fault lines in our world and the trials of our day are revealing them. But this week at Speak Life we have been lifting up the One whose standards we’re all using, whether we know it or not!
It’s Jesus who has taught the world that rulers should be servants, that they should put themselves under the law, that they should not ‘lord it over’ others but instead sacrifice themselves. It’s Jesus who teaches us that we are all one, whatever our race or social standing. It’s Jesus who says ‘put away the sword, for those who live by the sword will die by the sword.’
Incredibly our world, built by Jesus’ message, still remembers the teaching even if they’ve forgotten the source. Here at Speak Life we long to remind them! And to remind the world that there isn’t just a righteous standard over us, but a loving Saviour who offers to be with us.
Perhaps you can share some of these resources with your friends and family and, during this divided time, point to the Prince of Peace.
Listen here.

In this episode we talk about what everyone is talking about: Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson, that Durham trip, the media and the tidal wave of splenetic rage engulfing the UK! But into that context we discuss the 10 standards which everyone in the west acknowledges, whatever side they take on the culture wars. We’re actually united by certain expectations that we share and these expectations are thoroughly biblical and totally bonkers. They are bonkers, that is, apart from Jesus Christ. He is the one who can come good on all our expectations. He is the one who can heal our divided nations and divided hearts. He is our one hope moving forwards.

In these strange and difficult times there are also silver linings. One is the ease with which we can traverse boundaries. When our mission to Cambridge was cancelled last month, we got online instead and interviewed Rachel Gilson who was due to headline our main event.
When the launch of Abortion by Lizzie Ling and Vaughan Roberts was put online, we got to interview Vaughan in a fascinating video.
And during lockdown, Justin Brierley, host of the Unbelievable radio show and podcast, found time to speak with Glen about ‘good faith conversations.’ These were three incredibly insightful chats — check them out as videos or podcasts below!
Something else that lockdown allows is the painstaking work involved in computer animation! It might seem like Christmas is far away, but when you have to build up a film frame-by-frame you need a long lead time. And lockdown conditions are proving just right for our CGI spectacular. Here’s where we’re up to in 90 seconds:

Vaughan Roberts is the rector of St Ebbes, Oxford and the co-author (with Lizzie Ling) of the new book Abortion. Here Vaughan speaks of his context among a liberal city and among conservative churches — and how both contexts make it difficult to talk about abortion. But talk about it we must. Vaughan tells us why and how in this fascinating interview with Glen Scrivener.
