March 13, 2018 Episode 7: Poor In Spirit
I'm doing something a little different in this episode. I sat down last week to record an entirely different episode and couldn't deny the leading to go off script a little and share what I was feeling the Spirit saying to a few of us. Not everything in this episode will apply to everyone listening but I hope it's an encouragement to those whom it does connect with. You may know someone who could be encouraged to hear this one and if you do feel free to pass it on.Spiritual life is about seasons, and sometimes there can be a shift seasonally that applies to both individuals and a whole. I sense that we're in one of those seasons right now and by voicing that we're not alone we can gain a little strength to step out of it together. Commoners Communion is really a community of people searching for a new way of being in a social, political and spiritual landscape that is rapidly changing around us. If you've found this podcast it's probably because you feel that, and in some way you've experienced your own kind of estrangement in the process. If that's you, this podcast is my word to you. With love, and a whole lot of personal vulnerability.Arohanui,Strahan.The music in this podcast is kindly provided by Rhys Machell from his meditative album 'In Glass'. Click here to hear more.

February 20, 2018 Episode 6: Hongi
Intimacy with God is not an option in our spiritual walk, it's the entire
point. We were kissed by God in the beginning and restored to wholeness by
a kiss by Christ. In a culture starved for intimacy, we're invited to
receive the hongi of God and to share that hongi with the world as we
reconcile earth with heaven in the age we live.

February 20, 2018 Episode 5: Revelation
God is not an idea, a political persuasion or a theology we can knit tight. He is a Person who transforms knowledge into revelation through the process of spending time with him. In today's information age we need more than ever to sit with him, and others, in the tension of what we think we know and that which we don't. Revelation is the way in which we draw God's eternal present into the social, economic, political and ideological battles we face and it's the deeper beauty of our claim of living within the life God himself.

January 23, 2018 Episode 4: New
It can sometimes be hard starting a new year. What do we do with unmet promises from the year before? How do we hope for flourishing in times of transition or tension? Just as there are times and seasons in the earth and times and seasons in our lives, there are also times and seasons in kingdom spirituality. In this episode I share what I feel God has been saying to me over these past months about 2018 and how we can start the year open heartedly and with intention.

December 19, 2017 Episode 3: Mystery
We don't often celebrate the beauty of not-knowing in our walk with God, but if he truly is Spirit, truly the God of all existence, then embracing mystery is foundational to our walking with him. God is not always interested in telling us the why of what we're going through, because in the tension between our longing and our lack he's making his goodness all the more satisfying to us.
