In this special episode, Jamie Franklin responds to the recent conversation between Richard Dawkins and Jordan Peterson hosted by Alex O'Connor. Speaking from a theological viewpoint, Rev J says that both Dawkins and Peterson have imbalanced approaches when it comes to the interplay between facts and values. He argues that Christian Theology has to incorporate both to be properly understood and accepted.

Revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French get together to talk about the most important issues in church and state. This time:

• Thoughts on the upcoming budget.
• Trump on the Joe Rogan podcast.
• The Lambeth Palace clarification piece on Archbishop Justin's comments on gay sex.
• The now widely-known truth about the Southport killer and associated media and government gaslighting.
• Assisted killing update as the Senedd refuses to back Euthanasia.
• And a parish church is rebuked for not following the net zero ideology.

All that and much much more as ever.
