Two or Three Gathered

To our Blessed Listeners / “The Gathered,” 

In this episode we had the opportunity to sit down and interview the magnificent ‘Vanessa Gatman;’ a Masters in Education (focusing on Health and Wellbeing), Author of the Book “I Quit Hating my Body so She could Love Hers” and Co-Founder of the Amazing Charitable Trust ‘You Are.’ On the last, she has been instrumental in the mentorship of now thousands of young women in Auckland and New Zealand, helping them to see their internal, beautiful self-worth and value as 'Imago Dei' in a culture that often depreciates it.   Vanessa is an inspiring and engaging speaker, and holds a variety of roles where she speaks from that depth of wisdom and experience. We recommend the following links for reaching out to her:

Hey Two's and Threes.

Today, we are joined by friend of the Podcast, Christine Welten.

In this episode, Christine shares her life story and testimony of God's incredible grace and mercy. 

This is a tough episode to listen to as Christine has definitely been through the hard yards, but due to the grace of God, she is able to hold fast to the profession of her faith, because our Lord is faithful.

Hey "2s and 3s" In this episode, we explore the ideology behind the important movement 'Black Lives Matter.' We also seek to explore the connections to Critical (Race) Theory, Cultural Marxism and Cancel Culture. Here for the sake of cultivating nuanced discussion, there are a variety of sources that present perspectives taking differing supportive/detracting perspectives of Critical Theory:

Hey Blessed listeners,

In this episode we had the privilege of interviewing Ashley Church; NZ Property Expert/Consultant, Cultural Commentator and Joint-Director of the 'Israel Institute of New Zealand.' We had a fascinating conversation about Christians being successful in business, the Israel's Institute's role of addressing Anti Semitic bias in society/media/politics, and the ethics of principles pertaining to being a Christian with wealth.

Our intention is to bring him back in the future to discuss the controversies around the 'Israel Issue,' as well as the Property Problems facing NZ and how we as Christians can steward ownership well. With this cast serving to introduce him to our fanbase, we hope you enjoy this cast. We would love to hear what you think in the comments below! You can access the various links plugged throughout the cast below.

God bless,

C & J.
