In the realm of politics where does Jesus factor in? What does it mean to live out the truth of Jesus’ politics?

The Christian church today is meant to be the echo of their Godhead… An echo of harmony, unity, peace, love… Is this the case? Does the church today bring about shalom or are her ways doing nothing more than dumping skubalon all over society?   In this episode of UnCorked, Tony, Phil, & Matt enter into the dialogue regarding the movement and presence of the church today. Is the church a bearer of good news, or does she do nothing more than dump all over the people she is meant to love?  https://www.new-wineskins.org

What does the world find when it steps into the realm of Christianity? Is the message preached backed up by the lives lived? And is this proclamation authentic or artificial? Is it truthfully Christian or nothing more than a misguided replica?  https://www.new-wineskins.org​

Learning to lead like Jesus calls for a learning to live like Jesus. All of which beckons the question, do we know Jesus? What does pastoring look like today in the midst of… well… life?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated last week that the rioters at the US Capitol engaged in the “desecration” of the “temple” of our democracy. That is very religious terminology applied to a secular state, which interestingly is not uncommon in the United States throughout our history. We will focus on this theme of desecration involving democratic institutions as well as the Christian religion in our society.

Regardless of one’s take about what occurred last week, what do you make of the use of the terminology of “desecration” and “temple” being applied to the riot at the US Capitol?

Such is the content of today’s episode.

Sometimes you’ll hear someone say “I’m talking to the choir” when engaging those who think the same way as they do on an issue. However, we are facing more often than not in our churches and broader cultural settings today the challenge that not everyone thinks the same way as we do on a variety of issues. We may even find that our churches are divided on recent governmental restrictions related to COVID and that we are not speaking to the choir much of the time. Take, for example, Washington’s governor’s determination not to allow congregational or choir singing (on top of the already existing regulations requiring reduced attendance and wearing of masks in public worship) in light of COVID. We will delve into this subject at New Wine Tastings today in the hopes of gaining greater understanding and clarity on the issues while also safeguarding empathy and care for those who think differently than we do. That way, even though we may not end up seeing matters the same way or speaking to the choir on every issue, at least we truly see and understand one another in pursuit of grace and truth.
