LISTEN Podcast

Our last podcast before we break for the summer! We were joined by Ndidi Patience Amadi in June to talk with us about her experiences as a dance instructor, minister, creative arts director for the non-profit The Ruby Project (http://www.ruby-project.org/), and her charity work in the US and abroad. Share your thoughts, comments, and reactions below.

In May we had two musicians, Walter and Derrick, come dialogue with us about music, doubt, the church, and songwriting. For more from them visit http://waltercabal.com and http://soundcloud.com/derrick_amongotherthings. Share your thoughts, comments, and reactions below.

Join Nathan & Jacob for the inaugural episode of LISTEN Between the Words. They reflect on the last two dialogues with Jesse and Beth, talk about the recent Boston bombings and how easy it is to stereotype. Also, they discuss the tweet of the month and give some listening tips. You can email any questions to [email protected]. Join the dialogue by commenting below!

Paul Kiler has always had a keen eye for observing and creating beauty. Through photography, 3D sculpture, stained glass, and more recently perfume composing. His life’s work, in his own words, is “to bring back the Protestant Church into a positive relationship with images”. One of his many ways of reconnecting the church with art is to develop a way of worshiping using images called Visio Divina, which is based on the ancient practice, Lectio Divina, of Scripture reading and meditation. Jacob and I spoke with Paul on an evening in June for a small gathering at Madison St. Church in Riverside California.

We took a bit longer break than we thought, but we’re finally back with a great conversation with Kurt Willems who is an Anabaptist blogger, writer, and church-planting pastor in Seattle, Washington. Jacob Evers and Nathan Jeffers dialogue with Kurt about faith, the church, and how to build a community of change.
