The All Terrain Podcast: Episode 50
The Rev Dr Helen Paynter
Host Jo Taylor is joined by the Rev Dr Helen Paynter for this month's hypothetical hike.
Helen was a nephrologist (kidney doctor) when God called her to Baptist ministry. Helen has a Masters in Missional Church Leadership, another Masters in Biblical Studies, and a PhD in Old Testament. She is the founding director of the Bristol Baptist College Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence, which exists to facilitate cutting-edge research and to serve the churches by providing resources in these areas.
Helen is passionate about the Bible and its power through the Spirit to transform lives. She is, however, concerned about the ways that it is sometimes used to cause harm in a variety of settings. She loves teaching and preaching, and helping others to learn to do so. Her most recent publication is Blessed are the Peacemakers: A biblical theology of human violence (Zondervan, 2023).
Helen lives in Bristol with her husband Stephen. They have three grown-up daughters.
