S12E1: Big questions - The Bible (Chris Morphew)

In today’s episode we speak to Chris Morphew. Chris is an author, teacher, youth leader and school chaplain living in Sydney, Australia who has written (he thinks!) 32 books. Anna spoke to Chris about how to explain tricky bits of the Bible and how to tackle tricky questions. The springboard for this was the ‘Tricky parts of the Bible’ chapter in ‘An A - Z of Parenting for Faith) which is out in October 2025.
