We are now in Advent. Traditionally a time that we are invited to look for Jesus in our midst. But what does that really mean? Join with me as we discuss why we need to get very real about our own longings as a first step in looking for Jesus in our midst.

This is the last Sunday in the Christian Calendar, which is called "Christ the King" Sunday. What is that all about? And what does that have to do with the Trans Day of Remembrance? Please join with me and we will discuss it.

Remembrance Day - perhaps more than any other occasion, raises up a strong discrepancy between what Christians say and what they actually do. That's because Jesus had some very challenging things to say about warfare.

Let's talk about that!

We all want to be happy. But where do we find happiness? Does happiness come when we have enough stuff? or does happiness come when we share with others and create community?

I think that most of us value being "well". 

But often, when an opportunity comes along where we can make life changes and become more well, we don't actually do it. Perhaps it's not so obvious that we want to be well. Certainly, it is worth discussing.

I wonder. Do we want to be well? Let's talk about it.

Christians have traditionally supported the idea of the "Holy Trinity". That is the idea that God exists as 3 "persons" - Father, son, and spirit. But what does that even mean? How can Jesus be both a person and God? In this episode we offer a rational way to understand the Trinity.

I'm delighted in this episode to interview Dr. Darrell Picketts, a member at Sydenham-Heritage United Church and a friend. He has his own take on "Rational Christianity".

In the Bible, God is sometimes represented in wind and fire. What do we hear if we listen to wind and fire today? We hear the voice of climate change and environmental destruction. Perhaps that is the voice of God today? And perhaps if we actually listen, we can find hope.

In our society, the subject of sexuality and gender can create a lot of angst. Many people struggle with people who have diverse sexualities and genders. But why is that?

Jesus preached love, not hate. Homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia are wrong. We can do better.

People with physical health issues often get a lot of sympathy. But people who struggle with mental health issues often do not. Why is that? Let's discuss that today.
