Churches gather weekly, but for what purpose?  We sat down, in person, and had a conversation with Dr. Jeff Greenman around this very question.  In it we discussed Jeff's book, The Pedagogy of Praise,  which delves into the formative practices that mold the people of God into who God has called them to be.  We also discussed the importance of theological institutions like Regent and the relationship between the academy and the church.  We hope you enjoy our conversation with Dr. Jeff Greenman.

Theological education is about the formation of people, communities, and the world.  However, much of our theological and higher education has been designed and formed by rugged individualism and what is known as whiteness.  Today we had a conversation with Dr. Willie J. Jennings about his new book, After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging.   Listen in on what Dr. Jennings means by whiteness and how it has permeated our theological institutions.  We hope you enjoy this conversation.

Brokenness and addiction are prevalent in our communities, churches, and nations.  Drug overdoses have gone up significantly in North America and our addictions to media, entertainment, and consumerism have only increased.  Today we had a conversation with Aaron White about the descriptive and prescriptive beatitude community Jesus calls us into and out of our addictions.  Aaron White is a pastor, author, and resident theologian for Jacob's Well and 24-7 Prayer Canada. He recently wrote a book entitled Recovering: From Brokenness and Addiction to Blessedness and Community.  We hope you enjoy our conversation.

Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways.  The #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations allow for light and truth to be shed on the abuse of power.  Often organizations and churches want to prevent this abuse, but many lack an awareness of how power actually works.  Dr. Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for how we can address these issues and understand how power can be redeemed.  We hope you enjoy our conversation.

Calling often can be for vocation or career, but can one be called to friendship?   Many of us have had childhood best friends, but is friendship merely  a matter of preference?  And what does friendship with God look like, is it a disembodied friendship, or something more?  Join us in our conversation as we tackle these questions and more with Dr. Cindy Aalders and Dr. David Robinson.

In this conversation we unpack the harmful and destructive effects of the Doctrine of Discovery.  Sarah Augustine brings a much needed prophetic voice calling the church to rise up and take action against ways this Doctrine has and continues to devastate indigenous cultures.  Sarah recently wrote a book on this subject, called "The Land is Not Empty: Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery."  We hope this conversation challenges you.

Often we think of food as simply our source of energy or something we share together at the dinner table, but have you ever thought of food in regards to discipleship and following Christ?  Dana Robinson has recently written a book on this very subject, specifically how food was used to form and shape Early Christianity.  We had a wonderful conversation about her book, "Food, Virtue, and the Shaping of Early Christianity."  In it we discuss the Early Church and how the dinner table, food, and following Christ were all tied together.  We also discussed how this might impact our modern understanding of food and our walk with Christ.  Enjoy this conversation! We hope it reframes your understanding of food.
