Leaving Egypt Podcast

Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet Mark Lau Branson (Pasadena, California USA) to reflect on the concrete ways he has borne witness to the Gospel in his community and multi-ethnic church in a disruptive society. Mark has a unique gift of connecting the local with the broader changes in society. He is a Senior Professor of Practical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, serves as Senior Community Engagement Strategist on the Advisory Board of CHERP Solar Works, and participates in his local church. Jenny and Al chat with Mark about his sense of the unraveling, and we get a picture of how this looks in the cultures and the churches across the USA. Further, Mark describes how his own multi-cultural church has been working at being a people of God in their communities.

Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Mary Publicover and Barry Jung about their experiences of the unraveling in their local communities and explore their stories about how genuine community is being formed where they live. Mary lives in Birmingham (UK) where she is deeply involved with Rowheath Pavilion Church, Bournville. With several others, she’s established and co-hosts a Place of Welcome. Mary is a Companion of the Northumbria Community and was managing editor for ten years at the Journal of Missional Practice. Barry is a member of Granville Chapel, an established congregation in a central part of Vancouver (Canada). Several years ago, as a layperson, Barry realized there was little connection between his Christian life and the neighbourhood in which he lives. He began some small experiments in being with the people of his community. Out of these experiments came a whole new understanding of Christian life beyond going to church.

Alan J Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair introduce and discuss their vision for Leaving Egypt and what brought them to start this podcast together. Al talks about his own formation growing up in a non-religious environment then seeking to shape church life as a pastor, a teacher and a consultant to churches, leaders and denominations around the world. Jenny recounts her own growing up within the church, her wrestling with Christian life and her conversation of Catholicism where she encountered the powerful framework of Catholic Social Teaching that led to her work today. From within their very different journeys, they share their convictions about how God continues His work of reweaving the frail threads of our lives even in the midst of crises and disruption.
