On this episode of Her Theology, I'm joined by theologian, writer and cultural commentator Alastair Roberts to explore how the Gospel transforms our understanding of relationships, community, identity and the church.
We live in a culture marked by loneliness, isolation, fractured families, digital connection without true community, and growing confusion around identity and belonging. So how should Christians think about relationships in a deeply individualistic age?
Together we discuss:
- how modern culture has reshaped relationships
- the rise of autonomy and radical individualism
- loneliness and isolation in the digital age
- how technology and social media affect community
- why human beings are relational by design
- the church as the household and family of God
- the Gospel’s power to restore broken relationships
- friendship, marriage and community in Scripture
- embodied relationships vs online relationships
- relationships between men and women
- generational relationships in the church
- biblical view of relationships
- patterns and themes throughout Scripture and relationships
- healing from church hurt and relational pain
- why Christian community matters more than ever
Alastair explains how the Gospel doesn’t simply improve relationships — it fundamentally reorders them. From family and friendship to church and society, Christianity offers a radically different vision of what it means to belong, love, forgive, serve and live together as human beings made in the image of God.
This conversation will especially resonate with those wrestling with:
- loneliness
- church hurt
- isolation
- identity
- friendship
- broken families
- modern dating culture
- Christian community
- discipleship
- belonging
Topics Covered:
Christian relationships, theology of relationships, Gospel and community, loneliness, church family, Christian friendship, biblical community, individualism, identity, modern culture, social media and isolation, discipleship, embodiment, church life, family, theology and culture.
