The Keswick Convention Podcast

What do we mean when we use the word 'race'? How can the church encourage unity and welcome for all? What was going on with the Tower of Babel?
In this episode, we explore the amazing theology of race and ethnicity and discuss how the Bible speaks to our understanding of a global church made in God's image. No matter what our culture and ethnicity, Jesus affirms the uniqueness of our race, language and who we are.
We're joined by Rev Dr Israel Olofinjana (Director of the One People Commission of the Evangelical Alliance), Efrem Buckle (Deputy CEO and Director of Training and Mentoring at London City Mission, and Ruth Naomi Floyd (Jazz vocalist and composer) all of whom will be at Keswick Convention 2023 in the summer.

Here we go. Brass tacks folks! How are we genuinely grateful for our identity in Christ? We've heard it as a nut-shell phrase but how do we go about living out this identity and being grateful? What about when it's really hard and we just don't see it? Or it all just feels theoretical? We start by defining our terms and understanding why and how we've got here with our identity and hear from Professor Glynn Harrison and Author and speaker Karen Soole on our identity in Christ and how on earth we can be grateful for it. As ever, chit-chat and 'what does this feel like for you and me' with Rachel Redeemed and Jam Cary.

Sharon, a medical doctor and someone who has walked a difficult road with a variety of severe and enduring mental health struggles shares how she has leaned on the Lord through her journey. She shares her love of psalm 13, the how and why of her new book 'Wrestling with my thoughts' as well as the struggle to see herself as more than a diagnosis... and what we as church family can do to help those in similiar situations.
Sharon Hastings is absolutely passionate about helping anyone who suffers from 'severe and enduring mental illness' (SEMI): schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder. She wants the church to know all about these illnesses: how they devastate ordinary people and how they need to be treated.
