Our awareness of surrogacy is growing as commercial surrogacy and hollywood continue to utilise this process. But what should we think about it? Is it good? Or are there aspects we aren't considering?
In this episode I discuss all the ins and outs of surrogacy. From the process and options available through to the people it impacts (spoiler alert - it impacts everyone!). We talk through the ethical considerations, the commodity of women and children, the international concerns and the long term ramifications for us as a society.

HT celebrates 4 years this month. So to celebrate we are re-releasing a fan favourite from each year. So to start us out, here is one from 2020!
Not sure what we are talking about? We are discussing the gifts of the Holy Spirit!
A topic that seems to be divisive in the church. So we wanted to tackle it head-on with a tonne of grace and love, because, as far as we can see, there is a lot of misunderstanding when scripture is very clear on this topic.
We tackle some of the most prominent questions like;
* What are the gifts?
* What is cessationism & continuationism?
* How do we faithfully & carefully test the legitimacy of various gifts in action (prophecy & tongues largely discussed)
• How our experiences DO NOT define truth, Scripture does 😉
• How the Holy Spirit never contradicts scripture or himself!
• and a bit of Cass's personal testimony throughout as she has been growing, testing, studying and seeking scripture for the truth on this matter.Support the show
