Jesus-centred Discipleship in the Post-election Reality

11/02/20 • 65 min

Political polarization in U.S. church communities has never been greater, and the whole world is watching with uncertainty at what will unfold in the wake of the November 2020 election. In this live podcast, we converse with two pastors leading churches in North Carolina and Arizona, both highly polarized swing states. We discuss practical ways to talk about politics and explore strategies and experiential ways to keep Jesus at the centre of discipleship and mission.

Jesus, Justice, & Racial Reconciliation

Slowing down to listen, learn, and engage together is a critical step on the road to justice and racial reconciliation. We want to unite around Jesus and seek what it means to walk humbly, act justly, advocate for change, and love well as his followers. Listen in as thoughtful leaders of colour within the Jesus Collective community share this important conversation about white privilege, systemic racism, and reconciliation, with Jesus at the centre. Pastors Shawna Boren (St. Paul, MN) and Hank Johnson (Harrisburg, PA) provide perspective from American communities deeply impacted by the recent chain of events, and Denley McIntosh (Oakville, ON) adds insights from a Canadian context.

(Re)centring on Jesus in a Time of Crisis & Opportunity

Join Greg Boyd, Danielle Strickland, and Bruxy Cavey as they explore the importance of keeping Jesus at the centre. Why does it allow us to be hopeful and see this time as an opportunity? How does it inform how we see God and his role amidst crisis? How do we care for ourselves and our communities well? And if we’re truly focused on following Jesus, what will our churches be known for? This conversation was recorded during our UNITE | ONLINE gathering.
