In this episode of the Healthy Gospel Church podcast, we’re joined by Rev. Dr Lee Gatiss, Director of Church Society and a leading voice in evangelical Anglicanism. We explore key issues shaping the Church of England today — from the impact of liberal theology on church life, to the structures that define Anglicanism, and the vital role of systematic theology. Dr Gatiss also reflects on the evolution of preaching and what it means to live a life pleasing to God. Whether you're inside or outside the Anglican tradition, this wide-ranging conversation offers insight, clarity, and challenge.

Rev. Dr Lee Gatiss is a theologian, author, and Director of Church Society. He lectures and writes extensively on Anglican history, theology, and biblical exegesis.
