Dickie Ashcroft is the Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, Uganda & Rwanda Senior Specialist at Audley Travel. Inspired from a young age by the classic stories of the African exploration, after schooling in Shropshire and graduating from university, he packed his bags and headed to the Caprivi Region of northern Namibia to train as a guide.Apprenticing with a safari company operating throughout Namibia and latterly Botswana, he then moved to Tanzania in order to manage a lodge in one of the country's remotest national parks, Katavi. He's one of the first people to successfully kayak the length of Lake Tanganyika, the world's longest lake, completely unsupported -- all in aid of Dolam Children's Home Namibia.Dickie shares some of those early memories of inspirational adventurers and his family's influence, and what it was specifically about Africa that captured his attention. He relives those early days of arriving in Africa for the first time and enormous culture shift between Shropshire and Namibia. He tells host Si Willmore about Caprivi and Katavi national park, including the staggering landscapes and the wildlife we can expect to see if we visited - including "a pile of sleeping crocs" which hibernate in caves. Dickie also recalls kayaking the length of Lake Tanganyika, the world's longest lake, unsupported – including a day where he and his partner were in the boat for the entire day, travelling from sunrise to sunset and not leaving the boat once -- even for a bathroom break! To conclude, Dickie shares some recommended destinations and itineraries in Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, Uganda and Rwanda including the inimitable gorillas and chimpanzees in and around Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. In the JRNY Podcast, Si Willmore talks with pioneers, trailblazers and thought leaders, who are pushing the envelope in the travel industry. Hosted on Acast.

In the final part of the "Apprenticing with Jesus" series, titled "Do What Jesus Did," Dr. Scott McKee reflects on Matthew 4:18-25, where Jesus calls His first disciples to follow Him and become "fishers of people." Pastor Scott explains that this call was an invitation to apprentice under Jesus, learning not just to observe, but to eventually do what He did—preaching, healing, and helping others. He introduces the four stages of apprenticeship: watching, helping, doing with guidance, and doing independently. Pastor Scott addresses the common concern that we can't live like Jesus because He was divine, but emphasizes that Jesus, while fully God, lived as a human empowered by the Holy Spirit. The invitation to follow Him is achievable through surrender rather than trying harder. He encourages the us to embrace the prayer "Your will be done" and experience the power of trusting God fully.

In the second part of the "Apprenticing to Jesus" series, Dr. Scott McKee delves into the process of spiritual transformation in a message titled Become Like Jesus. Drawing from Luke 6:39-40, he emphasizes that becoming like Jesus is not just about behavior modification but requires deep inner transformation through intentional training and spiritual formation. Pastor Scott explores the necessity of practices that open us to the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, debunking myths such as relying solely on effort, knowledge, or doing nothing at all. He introduces a framework for spiritual growth, setting the stage for the upcoming seven-week exploration of core spiritual practices. This sermon invites us to engage in an intentional process of becoming more like Jesus, moving beyond being merely believers to becoming true apprentices of Christ.

Dr. Scott McKee kicks off a new sermon series titled "Apprenticing to Jesus." In this first part, titled "Be With Jesus", Pastor Scott reflects on the ancient practice of apprenticeship to a rabbi. He unpacks how we can apply this to modern-day discipleship with Jesus, emphasizing the three-part invitation of apprenticeship: to be with Jesus, become like Him, and do what He did. Drawing from his personal health journey, Pastor Scott highlights how abiding with Jesus sustains us through every challenge, urging the congregation to practice the presence of God in everyday life. This powerful message serves as a call to slow down and abide in Christ, allowing His presence to shape us for a life of purpose, peace, and joy.

When we experience Jesus for the first time, it is radical, overwhelming, and pure love. The direction of our life changes, but it doesn't mean that all our habits and practices totally change. Some actions and attitudes change right away, but our character being transformed into the image and likeness of Christ takes years and even decades of formation. This can be a discouraging and daunting task, but it can also be a lifestyle that brings joy, peace, and love in its fullness as we yield to the transforming work of the Spirit through the lifestyle of Jesus. Whether we've been walking with Jesus for one month, one year, or one decade, spiritual formation is a long road that requires discipline, perseverance, and humility. We are all being formed by the stories we are taught, the relationships we have, the habits we build, and the culture around us. Are you willing and ready to be formed by Jesus?

Jesus commands us to go and make disciples. If we desire to be apprentices and disciples of Jesus, we need to follow in Jesus' footsteps and make disciples as Jesus did. We do not do this through our own power or strength, but with dependence and reliance on the Holy Spirit who is already working in hearts.

When we accept Jesus' invitation to follow Him, we begin the journey of being spiritually formed in the way of Jesus. As we slowly open our hearts for God to work, our lives should gradually transform to embody Christlikeness. Being an apprentice of Jesus means committing to live in a way that is set apart from the world, practicing the way Jesus lived while He was on this earth, and continuously surrendering our will before our Lord, asking for His power to help us conform to His image.

The great and glorious truths of the gospel are not meant to be kept a secret. But how do we go about sharing these truths in a society that often seems hostile to the Christian message and the story of Jesus? As Paul closes out his letter to the Colossians, he lays a beautiful groundwork explaining in the simplest terms how ordinary followers of Jesus can work together with God in sharing his good news.

Psalm 67

Ever been on a winning sports team? Or part of a business that exceeded sales expectations because everyone came together? I know you've experienced the listening pleasure of your favorite band hitting every note and lyric in harmonious sync. It feels almost magical when every person is contributing. Working together toward a common goal can be both rewarding and frustrating. But one thing is sure… Everyone must be in alignment with the mission to achieve success. Jesus left his disciples with such a mission. “Go into all the world and make disciples,” he said. But many in the church have interpreted Jesus' commission to “making converts” and have become more concerned with getting people saved than loving people well. It's time to get back in alignment with what being a disciple really means. The word “apprentice” is my go to word for explaining what we are empowered to do in becoming more like Jesus and bringing Heaven to Earth. This Sunday, I hope to shift our understanding of what it means to be and make disciples that align with the command to love.

On April 5th, 2023 I had the immense honor of speaking at Harvard University with the Harvard Psychedelic Club about my journey with plant medicines, and the importance of using entheogenic substances within a ceremonial context. This speech was followed by an incredible Q&A and personal reflections  from the audience. About MeAndrew is a ceremonialist and multidisciplinary artist from Long Island, New York.

Back when Lorena Agolli was getting started in the trade, an aging cobbler grabbed her forearm, frowned, and dismissively said, "you're not strong enough." Well that was the wrong read on every level—almost a decade later, Lorena is currently entering a new era as the proprietor of Toronto shoe repair shop Sole Survivor. After scaling up the Sole Survivor business to multiple storefronts and largely training both locations' staff from scratch, Lorena has intentionally dialed things back to allow her and her team to focus on the types of repair jobs they're legitimately excited about. This episode, Lorena and Ben chat about how to listen to what an old machine is telling you, the conundrum of the next generation of cobbling talent, why the old ones are so darn grumpy, and the joy (ha!) of doing a single task for 8 hours straight every day. This episode was sponsored by Taft, whose new line of stitchdown construction boots is, believe it or not, right up our alley.Theme Song: The Road by Punk Rock Opera
