Listen "The Church That Stopped Having Children"
Episode Synopsis
Western Christianity is facing a crisis few are willing to name: a dramatic collapse in fertility—not driven by secular culture alone, but by a deep theological shift within the Church itself. When Christians stop seeing children as blessings and adopt the secular logic of autonomy, convenience, and lifestyle optimisation, the result is quiet demographic suicide. Meanwhile, other faith communities retain a strong pro-natalist vision rooted in their theology. My latest article argues that the renewal of Christianity in the West begins with recovering a biblical imagination of fruitfulness, generational faithfulness, and the courage to welcome life.#Christianity #Theology #FaithAndCulture #Demographics #ChurchDecline #ChristianEthics #FamilyAndFaith #ProLifeTheology #CulturalAnalysis #ChristianLeadership #BiblicalAnthropology #PublicTheology #WesternChurch #FaithInBritain #FertilityCrisis #ChurchRenewal #brendonnaicker #livingtheology
