Poverty has a voice. It tells a child you don't matter. You are nothing. Life will always

be this way. It steals their hope. At compassion, our mission is to release children from poverty

in Jesus' name, and you can help. For a gift of £32 a month, you can play your part

in helping to end poverty. When you're faced with a problem as big as poverty, begin with

a child.

The Ask NTWI anything podcast.

Hello and welcome back to the show. It's just in Briley bringing you the program where

I get to sit down with renowned New Testament scholar NTWI each week and ask him the questions

that you've asked, brought you in partnership with NTWI online and SPCK and of course

Premier for whom I'm the theology and apologetics editor. Today on the show we're talking patriarchy

and the Bible is the gendered language often used for God as father a problem and what about

those who struggle to relate to God as a father figure because of maybe past abuse of

a human father and how should we pray to God as well? Is it as a father or as Jesus or

what? So lots of questions coming up on today's podcast. Thanks so much to Sophie who gets

in touch and has actually left a rating in a review of the podcast. Says this has been

so helpful for me. Of course nothing should ever replace Bible reading but this gives me

so much motivation to read my Bible by giving historical background and more knowledge to

show Jesus who has changed my life to others. Thank you so much for this podcast and sharing

all your knowledge. Great to know that you're listening along Sophie God bless you. If you're
