086 - The Kenotic Lifestyle with Ben Teefy
Special reduction sauce, change agents, the portrait of God, the essence of incarnation, entering into each others reality, the kenotic lifestyle, the taste of those you meet, crucifying the ego, disciplinary structures that buffet you, replacing instead of reflecting, touching the leper, love as justice, incarnation in witness and presence.

085 - The Irreducible Minimums of Christianity Pt 2 with Ben Teefy
What is a Christian?, turning up to the barren lands, cracking the compass, exclusive to our worldview, selfish Christians, embrace the darkness, genuine table fellowship, incarnational Christian mission, undermining the witness of others, who gets the last piece, an abiding taste of love, the novelty of spirituality, the bullseye of spiritual gifts, behavioural activation.

084 - The Irreducible Minimums of Christianity Pt 1 with Ben Teefy
Drying the lake, supposed to till, rain makers and soil servers, tools of the tiller, digesting without Jesus, a pavlova without any insides, the cross bearing discipleship factor, aware of presence, extra gears, slamming cups.

081 - The Importance of Interpretation
Getting to know God, the farmer and his wife, ever present, everything about me says something about me, tangential application, speaking genealogies, the meadows of our own imagination. Эрүүл мэндийн төлөө 🇲🇳

075 - Looking Past the Tree to See the Forest
70+, point of first mention, literalizing metaphors, this is all one story, ‘fulfil’ not ‘abolish’, 3rd millennia cultural filter, the story is going somewhere, unredeeming images, individual waypoints, it worked even if we don’t know how. Prost 🍺

We'll look at challenges Gen Z faces, such as loneliness, shifting values, and the search for truth.

071 - The Problem with Worship
Connection to the creator, everyone worships something, things of wood and tin, bowing down to your own opinions, you God spirit truth, dust is dust, stuck on form, following ancient footsteps, surrender of will, not always convenient, allegiance vs autonomy, conformed to the image. Fenékig 🥛
Aug 09, 2023•27 min
070 - The Problem with Prayer
It’s elemental, does it work, what’s happening in you, distraction, self-centricity, listening to your own prayers, we are the rabbits, role playing with God, doubts and fears compound, the answer is not in the problem, find a quiet place. Dô 🇻🇳
Aug 02, 2023•15 min
069 - An Alternate Reading from the cutting room floor
Warning: potentially offensive, St Stephen, 51 verses deep, savage shift, OT whistle-stop tour, humanity on display, an unnecessary death, saint-ifying people, bland insight, hope or accusation, how not to preach, anti-wisdom, circumstantial lenses, effective good news. 乾杯 🎌

068 - The Problem with Going to Church…
What?! spiritual measuring stick, the rootstock and the branches, if I can ‘go’ I can leave, one dimensional spirituality, it’s who we are, duality, be life, rivers within, kingdom pot luck, ticking the box, out of the bubble, training wheels for life. Sláinte ☘️
