Welcome  back to our worldview series! Today we’ve got a great and challenging  conversation for you. We’re sitting down with practising Hare Krishna  Ian Nene and hearing about the journey he took to adopt this worldview.  Even though his beliefs are very different than ours, it caused us to  ask some important questions: How far will we look for answers about  life? How much are we willing devote ourselves to find meaning? Join us  to find out!

Memes  are so common in our online lives, they’re practically a new language  that we communicate through. But is the culture they create of turning  everything into a joke slowly turning us all into nihilists without us  even realising? Enter Helen, aka The Nihilist Potata. In today’s episode  she shares her research of how memes are shaping our culture and her  personal story of finding meaning in her own life. Come with us as we  continue our series on WORLDVIEW and discover how we can be aware of  subconscious worldviews - and how we use memes as weapons for change  while we’re at it.

We’re  coming at you with a special episode! We’re in the middle of the World  Cup, the largest sports championship in the world, but the actual  football is being overshadowed by controversy. The host country of Qatar  and FIFA (the global governing body of football) have come under  intense scrutiny over the last years for corruption. Is corruption in  any large organization inevitable? How do we get there, and is possible  to prevent it? Whether you’re a footy fanatic (like Zac) or a newbie to  this sport (like Courtney), you won’t want to miss as we unpack the  controversy of the World Cup - and don’t be surprised how much it  personally affects you.

Imagine living in a culture that has a completely different worldview from you. That’s exactly what our guest today, Rob, and his family have done. Spending years working with a Christin Development Organization in Central Asia, he has real, first-hand experience in a culture with an Islamic worldview which is very different from his own. How do you stand firm in your beliefs? How do you challenge other people in their point of view? Are you allowed to question your own worldview? Why is it so important to have your actions line up with what you say you believe? Find out as we ask these questions in todays episode!

Under  the long skirts, veil hair coverings and horse and buggies, the  Mennonite core beliefs really aren’t all that different from your  average Christian worldview. So how come their worldview seems so  extreme with their “simplistic” lifestyle? On today’s episode, we’re  continuing our WORLDVIEW series as we sit down with our friend and  former Mennonite, Stef. Join us as we hear her story of how she formed a  new worldview with the same core beliefs and as she reveals why she let  go of her Mennonite upbringing to find real simplicity.

Welcome to week two of our new series on WORLDVIEW! If you missed last week’s episode, you’re definitely going to want to go back and listen to it before jumping into today’s conversation. Why? Because last week we sat down and discussed our personal worldview, and today we’re sitting down with someone who sees the world VERY differently than us. In this series we’re learning to have conversations that challenge but don’t attack (hey, it’s what we’re here for) in a very practical way. So join us as we hear from our friend Nomi on his worldview!

Do  you ever find yourself in a conversation that’s going nowhere because  it seems like the person is on a different planet than you? Well, maybe  they are - kind of. Today we’re kicking off a new series on WORLDVIEW,  basically the lenses from which we view, well, everything. We’ll be  answering the 7 questions every worldview must answer so we know where  we stand, and how other common worldviews answer them. We hope that  today’s conversation gets you thinking about what you believe, and helps  understand where others are coming from a bit better!

The  recent death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has made a huge impact  on the UK. And while many have been vocal in their mourning for the  Queen, those who have chosen to take this moment in history to speak up  against the monarchy have appeared to be silenced. Could it be that  freedom of speech is encouraged until it’s against something deemed  “untouchable”? Is the monarchy viewed as one of these things - and  should it be? Join us as we take a deep dive into these questions in  today’s episode!

These  days it seems that everyone is offended by everything. So how is it  even possible to have a conversation with opposing points of view  without getting offended, defensive and turning it into an argument?  Well, that’s our mission here at The Anchor of the Week - we’re  determined to have the hard conversations without making it personal. We  always say we’re here to “attack topics not people”, so today we’re  diving into what that actually looks like in real life and why we all  need this perspective shift.
