In this episode, to mark Easter Week, we are thinking about some of the biggest questions of the human experience: Barnabas Aspray explores the unfashionable but possibly vital virtue of temperance; Owen Gallacher asks whether Putin's reality is the most "real" reality or whether the events of Easter may point to something even more real and Nathan Betts reminds us that in our darkest moments, we are loved and missed by Someone.

About this episode

In this episode, Chine talks to Justin and Belle about the myths she has endeavoured to shatter around motherhood, whether or not the task of mothering can be subcontracted out to machines and how God is as much a mother as he is a father.
