Contending for the faith includes living in accordance with that faith in every aspect of our lives, and so we publish content that we hope will help all Christians grow in grace and godliness and in particular, resources to help respond to complex contemporary issues. Here’s some of what we published online in 2018:
Spiritual abuse: John Telford looked at this new category and offered helpful advice on how to acknowledge and avoid it.

“Micro-cheating” – is that a thing now? Phill Sacre explained why both purity and platonic friendships are to be valued.
Quarrelsome Christians are not wise: Lee Gatiss reminded us that meekness is not weakness, especially as we engage with our opponents.
Ministry and Mental Health: Mark Meynell talked about his own struggles and his new book on the subject in this episode of the podcast.
Singing the Psalms: Matt Searles explained the importance of the psalms in Christian devotional life and corporate worship in this podcast.
