Sonship Podcast

Ian speaks about the Toronto revival, learning to rest and learning to like himself and getting off the performance treadmill as a result of love.

He also speaks about dependence as a crucial element in any faith walk

Charles takes us through his journey of prophetic ministry, rejection of hellfire and eternal torment to the reconciliation of all things, through psychiatric care, drunk and disorderly arrests, & recovery...

Here are a couple of quotes from the chat

"I was letting the revelation lead me instead of Holy Spirit"

"Legalism drives you to dependence upon something which may not even be good for you in the long run but might leave you warm and fuzzy for just a little while"

Florian is the founder of Divine Embrace Ministries & Publications, focussing on the revelation of Father's Love and mystical union through Christ.

I have heard people describe Florian as an Apostle and a mystic so we decided to chat about mysticism and Christian living.

Ken Norberg shares his journey from teenage hippy to pastor and his encounters with Father's Love. 

On the way, we chat about music, mental health, God's comfort and everyday life as ministry.

In this episode, John interviews Martin Fell about how discovering love led him to change the way he understood God and Christian doctrine.

We cover hell, penal substitution, inerrancy and more

Lorna Farrell has (so far) had an interesting life. A former sports broadcaster, stand-up comedian, and radio show host, Lorna underwent a "straightforward" operation only to find herself partially disabled and wheelchair-bound.

In this episode, she speaks about life, faith, and lots more

Homosexuality has been, for a long time, regarded as sin by believers.

We read our translations describing same-sex attraction as abominable and treat same-sex attracted people accordingly.

What if we have misunderstood the Bible teaching on same-sex relationships?

What if we have forgoten Jesus' instruction to love?

How then do we regard same-sex attracted people and fellow believers?

In this follow up to his conversation with Michael Bird, John looks at what the Bible says and means regarding same-sex attraction and more importantly, what the Bible doesn't say.

What is it about same sex attraction that causes Christianity to react so negatively at times?

What about the people, the individuals who are wrestling with faith and same sex attraction, how to we treat them, how do we respond and how do we love them?

In conversation with Michael Bird, John MacDonald explores some of these issues.

Part one of a two part look at the issue of same sex attraction

I chat with Florian Berndt & Felicia Murrell about faith journeys.

We talk about the gospels core message, separation/alienation, Jesus' cry from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me" finishing with thoughts on the cross and Psalm 22

I chat with poet David Tensen about his inspirations, broken times, when trite faith answers don't add up and wounded heroes.

We speak about recovery from burnout, the need to be a rescuer and how his faith grew through deconstructing and reconstructing, dismantling coping mechanisms and getting help

If you thin you don't like poetry, think again. David's poetry is life, it is raw at times and most of all it is real - giving language to our own heart cries.
