On this episode of Talking Transformation we meet Matt Boulton and talk about what Circuit Breakers is doing to address the rising rates of domestic violence in Australia.

Matt shares the pragmatic and powerful call to work with, and listen to, the perpetrators of domestic violence in order to educate and prevent harm.   He also shares his heart for getting tools to people before they need them, acting pre-emptively to improve families and relationships.

A great project and a great listen.

On this episode Matt speaks to a Jewish Rabbi and a Palestinian Christian to learn about the radical power of listening to others, forming relationships without borders and demonstrating Christ-like empathy for others.

Both Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger (Director of International Relations for Roots/Judur/Shorashim) and Sami Awad (Executive Director of the Holy Land Trust) give incredible insight and profound challenge in this unmissable episode!

Lloyd joins Matt on the Talking Transformation Podcast to discuss his experience of running a Cinnamon Faith Action Audit in Stoke-On-Trent, a city in the middle of England. 

The results of the audit surprised the local authorities and the church, as neither realised that faith was doing so much good in their city. After the audit was published new opportunities to work together arose as many in authority realised that the collective impact of the church on the city was - and still is - remarkable.

When a church needed a jail location for a videoshoot (yes, you read that correctly) they called the local police station and asked to use a cell. That simple moment was a catalyst for a transformational project that connected the church to the local police force and eventually led to radical change for an entire community. 

Listen to Matt talk to Tops de Jager from Doxa Deo church in Pretoria, South Africa as he talks transformation on the latest Cinnamon International podcast.
