Title: Body Phobia: The Western Roots of Our Fear of Difference

Author: Dianna E. Anderson

Narrator: Dianna E. Anderson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 22 minutes

Release date: October 22, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Your body is who you are. We will only build a just society by rejecting fear of our bodies. Western culture hates the fact that we have bodies—from evangelical culture, which insists 'you are a soul and have a body,' to wellness culture that turns your control over your body into a moral test, to transphobic activism that insists any step taken to change one's body is an immoral act, to the treatment of disabled bodies in a profoundly ableist culture. Fear has led cisgender, white, and able-bodied people to deprioritize the physical experience and prioritize the mind alone, contributing to our alienation from one another, the marginalization of certain kinds of bodies, and harm to us all. Body Phobia is an examination of the western societal fear of the body, how it permeates all parts of culture, who gets to be perceived as more than their body, and who does not. By becoming self-aware of how our bodies interact with the world and what it means to have a body, we can begin to overcome the harm done in divorcing the western body and the western mind for centuries. Through cutting analysis and candid storytelling, Dianna E. Anderson exposes our fear-based politics and shows us a way to approach bodies that is neither positive nor negative but neutral. Our bodies are. And that's enough.

Title: The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture: Building a CORE Team to Awaken a Movement

Author: Justin G. Gravitt

Narrator: Michael B. Carnes

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 46 minutes

Release date: October 22, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Why do churches need a disciplemaking culture? At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus commissioned his followers to embrace a way of life making disciples. He extends that mission to us―a way of life rooted in relationship, focused on mutual growth, intentionality, and transformation as we follow Jesus together. Sadly, the activities and events that dominate many churches too often become an end in themselves and actually distract from discipleship. The Great Commission drifts out of focus of the whole church and becomes outsourced to a spiritual elite. Justin Gravitt wrote The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture to help you lay the groundwork for a disciplemaking movement in your church. In this powerful, to-the-point resource, you will learn how to: - identify and train other disciplemakers who share your passion and vision - build shared ownership and excitement for making disciples who make disciples - maintain momentum that spreads from your core team into the community - re-vision your church culture around the gospel priority of disciplemaking. A culture of disciplemaking is built and supported by a disciplemaking foundation. This audiobook will equip you with the tools and strategies you need to take the next step in God’s mission.

Title: All Ages Becoming: Intergenerational Practice and the Formation of God's People

Author: Valerie M Grissom

Narrator: Nan McNamara

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 25 minutes

Release date: October 15, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

We are in this together—all ages practicing, all ages becoming God's people. Often, intergenerational initiatives are seen as the next new church trend, or another programming tool for church growth and revitalization. Ultimately, though, intergenerational practice is at the core of what it means for us to be the body of Christ. God intends for all ages to participate in faith formation together; we are formed in our practice of intergenerationallity as we participate in the formation of becoming God's people. All Ages Becoming brings theologians, practitioners, and ministry leaders, representing diverse denominations, generations, cultures, and geographical locations, together to help us explore this adventure of intergenerational Christian practice. As you consider intergenerational practice in your own faith community, each chapter provides 'Theology in Practice' sections with questions designed to help your community reflect, discuss, discover, experiment, reinvent, redesign, and continue in your community of practice.
