Another poddie brought to you by our girl’s weekend in Sydney! We chat books, movies, Netflix and fun times. We disagree about Jimmy Barnes’ autobiography and talk, yet again, about Ursh’s reluctance to get on board with the latest technology.

Show notes

Tam recommends going away with friends and getting your treat on.

She’s been watching Queer Eye on Netflix but fears it’s a bit cheesy. Ursh disagrees. She thinks they really care.

And read Wonder (cried more than her kids) and Tin Man (just cried. It’s beautiful).

Ursh visited the Heide Museum of Modern Art and loves the story behind it as much as the exhibitions.

She saw A Wrinkle In Time and recommends it more for the pithy quotes than the actual movie.

And her beautiful new faith community celebrated a Tenebrae service before Easter.

Shell saw and reluctantly anti-recommends Loveless, a Russian ‘masterpiece’ of a movie that we saw in Sydney.

But highly recommends The Book of Mormon. She’s still laughing. Also laughing at Schitt’s Creek which she began on Ursh’s recommendation and proceeded to smash through three seasons.

For getting your ethics on, Shell recommends the Ethical Fashion Guide, and For Dignity.

And we’ve all been playing with Bitmojis like teenagers. Even Ursh got on board.

In this pod, we talk about calling. Is it a privileged, Christianese concept that helps stock churches with employees, or a beautiful and necessary journey that we all take through life?

We discuss what our calling might look like, the difference between your vocation and your calling, and how you might start finding your calling.

It’s good stuff!

Show notes

Shell referenced some amazing books on calling and purpose:

* Growing Leaders: Reflections On Leadership, Life and Jesus – James Lawrence

* Falling Upward – Richard Rohr

* Purpose – Lisa Messenger (this book has the fab diagram about purpose vs profession vs vocation etc)

She also mentioned the article 6 Fresh Ways to Find Your Passion and the Facebook group Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine

Tam loves this TED talk from Emilie Wapnick because she, too, is a multipotentialite.

And is pretty sure this article used to be free to ready, but no longer, and this is sad because Sarah Bessey is amaze.

Ursh had many uh-huh moments with Oprah’s chat with Thomas Moore

And got some insights on purpose and calling from Mia Freedman’s Work Strife Balance

Time for a chat again! We ruminate on the things that got us going this week – everything from creepy business men, to cliff hangers, to really bad girl bands.

Show notes

Shell went to the cinema (without us!) and saw Phantom Thread which was apparently amazing.

She also recommends Lovesick which is about STDs but we’re not judging.

And Babylon Bee’s TL:DR edition of the bible is well worth a read, and a giggle.

Tam managed to recommend The End of the F***ing World again because she has no short term memory.

She read Commonwealth and The Choke – both were brilliant and heartbreaking.

And watched Game Face which stars the hilarious Roison Conaty and is super amusing.

Ursh got Battle of the Sexes on DVD from the library (so quaint!) and was pleasantly surprised!

She’s been binging YouTube videos of Scala and the Kolacny Brothers

And thinks you should definitely google The Shaggs if you need a pick-me-up

But seriously, she highly recommends the Abbotsford Convent for a beautiful day out.

This is a topic that intrigues, confounds and downright confuses (some of) us. Technology. Good or evil? Does it bring us together or force us apart?

We discuss in a podcast hilariously disrupted by many, MANY, technological problems.

Sorry, good luck, and happy listening.

Just in case you thought we were bitter and twisted old anti-Christians, here’s another pod on religion where we discuss some of the amazing resources that have us excited about our growing and changing faiths.

Show notes

Ursh receives Richard Rohr’s homilies every morning and loves it

The Liturgists provide regular meditations if you subscribe (and they’re amazing!)

Tam has loved the Beyondering podcast…

… which introduced her to Alex Sangston of St Andrews Uniting Church

Episode 38 of the Decontructionists with Richard (freaking) Rohr is required listening for everyone

Michelle loves Krista Tippett 4 eva

Ursh recently listened to Krista’s interview with Mary Carr and adored it

The Nomad podcast, and The Makers and The Mystics are great resources

A quick little light interlude for your ears this week. We chat movies, books and other things that are floating our boats this week. Enjoy!

Show notes

Michelle has been on a film binge and recommends both The Post (with merry Meryl) and I, Tonya

She likes to get her film reviews from Kermode and Mayo

Tam recommends The End of the F**king World (but warns you that there’s swears, blood and generally uncomfortable themes)

She read Commonwealth by Ann Patchett which was disturbing but worth it

Ursh read Joe Cinque’s Consolation and sings the praises of Helen Garner

And also thinks we all need to check out Richard Rohr’s daily meditations over on the Centre for Action and Contemplation site.

“Religion is a lack of spiritual curiosity” Richard Rohr in Falling Upward

Back to some more spiritual matters this week. Religion vs spirituality. What does that even mean?

We discuss how we’ve all gone through a journey of losing and regaining our religion over the past few years, and how religious and spiritual practices fit into our ‘new’ faiths.

We know we’re not alone on this journey – come and tell us your story over on Facebook or email us at [email protected].

Show notes

This blog post by Fr Richard Rohr explains the ‘three box’ definition we reference a number of times.

This is a comprehensive explanation of the intersection between religion and spirituality from the University of Minnesota.

We recommend everyone listens to this podcast of The Deconstructionists interviewing Richard Rohr (even if it’s just for their fanboy reactions!)

Sarah Bessey tells her story of losing and finding faith in this interview with The Deconstructionists.

Oprah speaks to Rob Bell about how people are looking for spirituality over religion.

Thomas Moore speaks to Oprah about finding personal religion without letting go of tradition.

The Liturgists interviewed Rachel Held Evans about her journey through faith deconstruction.

"I found out what the secret to life is: friends. Best friends." Fried Green Tomatoes.

Friendship is a common theme in books, tv shows, movies and songs, but it doesn't always come easy. We know how lucky we are to have found each other as teens. And how we are even luckier to still be friends twenty-odd years later.

We cover how important our female friendships are to us, how hard it is to make friends as grown-ups and how we miss male friendships now that they seem a bit 'out of bounds'.
