  • You Are Creative - The Art of Self Expression - 071

    You are creative. Many times in life we convince ourselves that we are not creative. That creativity is reserved for the special and talented. This week Jeff and Mona debunk that idea and celebrate the creativity of everyone. Our hosts discuss the relationship between creativity and talent and offer up their own creative methods. The episode ends in a creative exercise with the segment, Good News, Bad News.

  • Farm to Communion Table - A Conversation with Zachary & Christy of Simple Church - 070

    The statistics regarding church attendance and relevancy in today's culture seems to be getting more and more bleak. With church participation steadily declining in America it is important for churches to let go of outdated models and begin to explore new ways for people of faith to gather together. This week we talk with guest co-hosts Zach Kerzee and Christy Wright of Simple Church. Simple church is a dinner church that is doing some creative things to reclaim the community and intimacy of church gatherings. They are breaking the mold for what it means to be a thriving congregation. They don't meet on Sunday, they don't have a building and they don't even have an organist. What they do have is bread.

  • Grieving for Orlando with Guest Host Bentley Stewart - 068

    Grieving for Orlando in the aftermath of the shooting at the Pulse night club Jeff & Mona discuss the tragedy with guest host, Bentley. Bentley is a chaplain at UCSF Medical in the Bay Area, and has worked for many years as a pediatrics chaplain. He is also originally from Orlando and provides profound context to the origins of the Pulse night club. Through grappling with their own feelings and thoughts, the three touch on a wide range of topics around the shooting, including tragedy and grief, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism, violence, toxic masculinity, the challenges of being an ally, power, and voice. Instead of having a group segment at the end of the show, Mona reads the names of the victims to honor and commemorate their lives.

  • Charitable Giving - With My Mind on Minding My Money - 067

    Churches, non-profits, Kickstarter campaigns, charity events - Jeff, Mona and Allen give some space this week to the topic of charitable giving. How do we exercise generosity in a way that really makes a difference? From the "faith giving" of the televangelists' guaranteed returns to the one-for-one giving of Toms shoes, this conversation challenges our notions of philanthropy and charity - and is followed by another round of Knowin' Jemonen.

  • Does Social Media Make Us More Social? - Loving the Like - 066

    The social media landscape seems endless. Not only are there more and more platforms available, but there are also endless implications for humanity. These are some of the things Jeff, Mona and Allen explore this week. Does social media make us more social? Do we end up more disconnected in the long run? Is all of it it simply a funhouse mirror that distorts what's already inside of us? We end our discussion with another round of Famous Christians for 100.

    Bridging the gap between culture and language are two of the biggest hurdles in approaching scripture. For the final installment of our interpreting the Bible series Jeff, Mona and Allen talk about ways we can accomplish this sometimes overwhelming task. How do we read the bible in and out of its original context? The episode, and series, ends with a segment called Biblical Oddities.

    Our first Irenicast Book Club with Mona will be July 11, from 8:30pm - 10:00pm Eastern Standard Time. The Club will meet every second Monday of the month.

    1. The beginning of the meeting will be introductions and making a community agreement for engaging the conversation and each other
    2. We will spend the rest of time time in a guided conversation on what you found most moving, surprising, or challenging about the book and what these things might mean for the ways we walk around in the world. Please mark passages you want to talk about.

  • Interpreting the Bible Part 1 - Literally Literature - 063

    Part one of a new series on interpreting the Bible starts this week. Throughout the course of the next three episodes we will be answering the questions: How do we read the Bible as literature? How was the Bible written over time? How do we read the Bible in and out of context? Jeff, Mona and Allen kick everything off with a conversation laying out why the Bible should be recognized as literature and what that means for engaging the text. Rounding out the episode is our second attempt at Pursuit of the Trivial.
