About this listen

 A MOLAD listener got in touch with a fascinating question about hormone replacement therapy and the menopause. If some Christians are becoming sceptical about using hormonal contraception, should they be equally sceptical about the widespread use of hormone replacement therapy for women going through the menopause? Are our bodies good exactly as God made them, or is taking additional hormones just a non-controversial medical treatment to help women with their menopause symptoms? And why does the church find it so hard to walk with women through this inevitable part of aging in the first place? We’re joined by Christian GP Rosslyn Perkins to understand all things HRT and menopause, and consider what the Christian tradition has to say to women (and the men in their lives) wrestling with these questions. Some helpful resources Rosslyn recommends: Pause by Sarah Allen - https://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/pause?srsltid=AfmBOoqYVGhrb2jJCHaRqwiOlqhfCamQ3r4cfrof42b66SYU6L7uFqT- Identity Theft, edited by Melissa Kruger - https://icmbooks.co.uk/product/29165/identity-theft-reclaiming-the-truth-of-our-identity-in-christ Lost in the Middle by Paul David Tripp - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Middle-MidLife-Grace-God-ebook/dp/B005NJC7RW The British Menopause Society - https://thebms.org.uk/ Rock My Menopause course - https://rockmy.com/course/rockmy-menopause-course-everything-you-need-to-know-about-menopause/ Menopause Matters - https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/ • You can send in your questions for us to discuss on the podcast, or ideas for future episodes, to molad@premier.org.uk • Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 • If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com • Find some of Tim's journalism and sign up for free to his weekly church news newsletter The Critical Friend: https://tswyatt.com • For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com
