Peace | Justice Worriers Episode 55 45:33

7 days ago45:33

45:33

Andy, Jörg and Leah talk through our response to preparations for war, where the only people calling for peace seem to be doing it insincerely. How can we respond to Jesus' words about turning the other cheek and loving our enemies when we feel the need to be protected? Do we abandon these ideas as irrelevant? Do we sacrifice the safety of our fellow-people to make a point? Contact us on justiceworriers@artificialworlds.net or look for JusticeWorriers on Mastodon , Facebook , LinkedIn , or YouTube .

Shamilka on faith rocked by the Soul Survivor scandal | Justice Worriers Episode 46 1:18:44

39 weeks ago1:18:44

1:18:44

Content warning: brief discussion of coercive control and inappropriate sexual behaviour. Andy, Leah and Jörg talk to Shamilka about her faith journey, especially the importance of her experiences at the Soul Survivor festival, and the impact of finding out about the scandal surrounding its leader, Mike Pilavachi. She describes how as a teenager she longed for a sign of God's acceptance, and Soul Survivor provided some chance for that, and then how that was thrown into confusion when its integrity was destroyed. Why do we look to hero figures to live our faith for us? Can we take good things from youthful experiences, even when we have re-evaluated them later in life? Obviously people who abuse their power should be stopped and held accountable. How do we construct churches and societies that prevent power from being concentrated in the first place? Do our ideas about God lead us towards lack of accountability and concentration of power?

Andy, Jörg and Leah talk about freedom: What did Jesus mean when he talked about freedom? Would it be right to be "free" when so many terrible things are happening? Is the "Free World" free, or just free to buy things if you can afford them? What was it like for Jörg when freedom came to East Germany? Can we hope for freedom from sin? What would that be like?

Andy asks Leah and Jörg for help writing some hopeful prayers for Easter Sunday in the face of appalling violence across the world. What hope is there, and what should we do when we see precious people treated so cheaply again and again? Does the resurrection of Jesus offer some kind of pattern of hope that our world repeats every Spring? Or is it a sign of something terrifying and new that is far outside of our control?

Ghost on the Water | Justice Worriers Episode 43 1:05:02

1:05:02

Jörg asks Leah and Andy for help preparing his sermon on Mark 6:45-56, where Jesus walks across the surface of a lake, and his disciples are terrified that he is a ghost. What are we supposed to make of this story? Is it about how Jesus is powerful, or how silent prayer can somehow make us powerful? If so, how come Jesus didn't prevent them being blown completely off course? Did Jesus retire to the mountain to pray because he was exhausted? How does any of this teach us anything about silence and solitude? Also, why on earth was he about to walk straight past the boat?

Andy, Jörg and Leah talk to Steve and Claire talk about the kindness they have felt in church communities. We talk through the different phases of both their lives, including the remarkable influence of an "all-in" Christian community where members shared all their possessions and lived together, with all the joy and heartache involved. Their experiences lead us to discuss the importance of actually sharing our lives and being truthful about what is going on inside us.
