The pursuit of celibacy is seen as strange, taboo, and repressive in modern society. But that’s what David Bennett, a gay man, decided, after becoming a Christian during a night out in Sydney’s gay quarter.
Since then, he’s become a scholar of “holy virginity”, and the queerness of his Lord, Jesus. This is his story.

With all due Respect
With The WADR Project
Less aggro, more conversation.
Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it.
There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.
