The landscape of historical interpretation is ever-evolving, and differing cultural perspectives often compete to dominate the narrative. How do we, as Christian teachers, navigate this complex terrain while remaining true to a Biblical understanding and explanation of the world? Join Lizzie in conversation with two current history teachers as we consider how we can bring glory to God in our classrooms.Why not join our growing network of Christian educators.Find out more www.christian-teachers.org.uk

Premier Christian NewscastThe podcast, brought to you by Premier, which takes you deeper into the stories impacting Christians around the world. Each week, we’ll dig into a particular issue, hearing from those directly involved or with a vested interest to make sense of the story and why it matters.The state of sex education in schoolsGraphic lessons on oral sex, how to choke your partner safely, and the existence of 72 different genders. According to the Christian MP Miriam Cates, these are some of the things appearing in sex education classes up and down the country. According to her campaign, a radical progressive ideology has infiltrated sex and relationships education. In response to her lobbying, the prime minister said he would bring forward a review into sex education in schools, to ensure they are not teaching quote inappropriate or contested content. But is this really something to be worried about? What are children actually being taught about sex, gender and identity at school? Should Christian parents be joining any campaigns to supposedly de-wokify education, or is this all just a right-wing culture war talking point? Guests this week: - Nick Batt, youth and families worker at Christ Church Bromley - Julie Maxwell, community paediatrician and deputy director of Lovewise - Lizzie Harewood, executive officer of the Association of Christian TeachersWhy not join our growing network of Christian educators.Find out more www.christian-teachers.org.uk
