One of the things I love doing this podcast is it introduces me to things I didn't know were a thing but love learning about. This chat with Rev Pippa White is so significant for many reasons. For Christians, this is a real challenge to them for whether they are inhabiting the spaces of the younger generation. Jesus used the common communication tool of the time to communicate his message.
For teachers, this is about The Great Commission in the 21st Century - go out into 'all' the world. This now includes the digital world.
But this is also about the nature of Theology and doctrine. Where is the authority and accountability for the Theology that is being created and shared on Social Media? Can you be a Christian in a disembodied state and what the advantages and disadvangtes of that?
Plus, regardless of spending my teenage years in an Anglican Church and 23 years as an RE teacher, I learnt that I had no idea what the Anglican Church was!
But overall, it was just so lovely to talk to Pippa. She is a warm and delightful human being so please follow her on Social Media:

This is one of my favurite episodes because of how powerful, emotional and authentic it was. I chat with former Islamist - Sohail Ahmed. His story is true, honest and relatable as he tells us what led him to become an extremist and what eventually led him to leave that life behind. It's linked to identity, sexuality, atonement, purpose and belonging! It reveals the misconceptions regarding extremists, what to teach our children and what to look out for. Sohail's grace and humanity is so evident in this interview and I know this will change the life of anyone who listens to it.

In rememberance of LGBTQIA History Month, we remember this GLORIOUS chat with Rev. Andy Fitchet, we look at the damage that traditional and literal interpretations of Genesis have had on women and LGBTQIA Christians. Andy talks openly about his own difficult journey and the dangerous practices of the Church to heal people of 'gayness'. We discuss homosexuality, gender, sexism, hypocrisy. grinder and Jesus as a trans male. Andy is so theologically knowledgeable and also has the most wonderful sense of joy in his faith (the bit about finding Adam a 'helper' is my personal favourite, or how there is a special section in hell for polyester wearers if the Bible is to be taken at face value!) If God is not binary and we were made in his image, then we are not binary!
