In this episode, Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen ask about the cost of conscience. 

Conscience has been at the forefront in public discussions, as a new phase of the pandemic requires measures that have created an urgent set of ethical dilemmas. This has come at the same time as our politicians are debating bills about freedom of religion.

The WADR team tease out the Biblical approach to freedom of conscience before taking a more personal look at it with Alison Preston, a Christian living with the consequences of a decision of consequence. 

Then Michael and Megan finish up with a well-known movie about conscience, Les Misérables.

What is With All Due Respect?

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.
