Going Deeper

The Fruit of the Spirit are the perfect antidote to the chaos and challenges of modern life. Jo Leutton talks with Jay Kim, author of 'Analog Christian', about the challenge of living faithfully to God in the midst of modern culture. It turns out that much of what we face is the same as people have faced throughout history!

We begin a new season with a new series on the Fruit of the Spirit, and the way they are powerful antidotes to the challenges and pressures of our present life. Connecting the passage from Galatians 5 with Jay Kim's book "Analogue Christian", Jo Leutton and Aimee Cowan begin a journey through each of the Fruit of the Spirit, talking with people who live out these fruit in their everyday lives and ministries. You'll hear form people from all walks of life sharing their success and challenges as they seek to live in step with the Spirit in all that they do. Join us for this journey!

While content has been limited this year, there has still been a lot to talk about in 2021 across the three podcasts across the Riverlife network. We've heard from some incredible guests and discussed a range of topics across theology, scripture, justice, and community! Join our producer, Tim, as he sits down with Jo to talk about all the highlights from 2021 and to look ahead to 2022. As is now a yearly tradition with Riverlife Podcasts, there will also be bloopers and outtakes. Here's to another awesome year ahead!

In this special bonus episode, we're bringing you the full Talking Justice event that was held at Riverlife in April 2021. As we look towards Freedom Sunday 2021 (19 September), the matters discussed in this engaging discussion have never been more important.

In a world of differences and divisions, the good news of Jesus can give those who follow Him the posture of patience and listening before jumping to judgement and separation. Tim Fawssett oversees Cross-Cultural Innovation for Scripture Union has experienced first-hand the power of seeing the person behind the beliefs, and the power of genuinely stopping and taking the time to hear someone else's story. Tim spoke with Ps Robyn and Ps Jo in this final episode of our Talking Justice series.
