Podcasts about Bruxy Cavey

Bruxy Cavey is one of the most well known pastors in Canada. Unfortunately, he known for both his success and failure. I have no desire to attack Bruxy, nor am I his judge. But Bruxy Cavey has made a quiet comeback at https://www.theghostof1820.com. My purpose for this video is to reflect as a pastor on when and how to return to ministry after a fall aside from what we think of Bruxy's path. All pastors should be thinking about these issues.

The Meeting House was meant to be a new kind of church; one that would appeal to those who felt alienated by mainstream Christianity. The church's charismatic leader, Bruxy Cavey, with his impassioned sermons, and sometimes controversial interpretations of scripture, drew parishioners to their Oakville, Ontario headquarters from across the Greater Toronto Area. At its peak, Meeting House membership numbered 5000, and the future looked bright for the so-called ‘megachurch'.Then, in 2021, allegations of sexual misconduct were made against Cavey, and in the aftermath of that scandal, other incidents involving Meeting House staff began to surface, pointing to a more systemic issue within the church. Membership has since dwindled, and criminal proceedings against Cavey are ongoing.So what exactly happened at the Meeting House? What can this scandal tell us about the phenomenon of Church sexual abuse more broadly? And what needs to change to make sure that places of worship are also a place of safety for all?GUEST: Rachel Browne, investigative journalist and documentary producer who wrote about The Meeting House in The Walrus

In the past number of months, we have heard some terrible stories by such prominent pastors as Bruxy Cavey, John MacArthur, and Brian Houston. What is going on? Is there even a way to stop such abuse? In this episode, I vent my frustration. Support this podcast through Patreon. Visit me at my website.

After allegations against Bruxy Cavey, the investigation has been completed. But was this "just an affair"? When a pastor (any pastor) gets involved with a person they are ministering to, it is more than adultery. We look at this difficult topic in this episode. Visit me at my website.

Our Church Trauma Series continues with a look at the sexual abuse controversy involving progressive Anabaptist pastor, Bruxy Cavey. Plus, our Heretic of the week is best-selling Canadian poet Darrell Epp, author of the newly-released Permanent Smoke.

Guest: Morgan Bocknek, investigative reporter After celebrity megachurch pastor Bruxy Cavey was arrested and charged with sexual assault in June, the Meeting House — once one of the most prominent megachurches in Canada — has been surrounded by scandal. Many other accounts have come to light and the church has acknowledged that three other former pastors have faced similar sexual misconduct allegations. We take a look at what happened. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Alexis Green

Mark Driscoll, James MacDonald, Bill Hybels, Ravi Zacharias, Bruxy Cavey. There is no lack of examples of once respected Christian leaders who have now been discredited based on their behaviour. Should we be talking about what happened? Or should we ignore these examples to avoid tarnishing the Church's reputation? That is what we will look at in this episode. Visit me at my website.

This episode is from a video I recorded right when the reports of Bruxy Cavey's sexual abuse first came out. More details have been released since I first recorded this. It is heartbreaking to see such abuse taking place in the Church and to see the fall of such a respected pastor. Visit me at my website. Support me through Patreon.

You know celebrity pastors like Mark Driscoll, Bruxy Cavey, and James MacDonald. Like so many others these men have been platformed despite their very serious character flaws. Yet then there are others like R.C. Sproul, Tim Keller, and others who have weathered the storms that popularity brings. What's the different? And Is there a better way to platform pastors and theologians that are capable of not falling due to the pressure. ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS -------

Pastors Doug, Blake, and Kyle return as a team to discuss the following: *please note this episode briefly mentions sexual misconduct, please take care when listening* 1. My question...what does the Bible and subsequent literature based on scripture tell us about our roles as husband/wife, Dad/Mom, man/woman? Society has taught me somewhat poorly and my wife and I are rethinking as in some fundamental ways we can see society's teachings aren't working for couples or families 2. There's a lot of questions about homosexuality and it's probably because of Brock needing to step down a couple years ago. I know that we are all on our own journeys and beliefs change as we mature but it's a bit hard hearing three straight men talk about homosexuality. Why not invite a gay person like Brock on the podcast to talk about the other side of the conversation? 3.u. I love this church, but I've been thinking about a lot since the news of Bruxy Cavey was released. You talk a lot about the importance of a diverse church and yet the leadership is made up of only white men. It doesn't seem like there are any women in the decision making process and there's some POC on staff. How do we reconcile that?

Hi friends, Hannah joins me (Will) again for this week's podcast! And we cover a lot of ground in this chat.In this episode we speak a fair bit about recent events within the evangelical church that you may or may not be familiar with. We do our best to give context, but if we accidentally assumed some ‘insider knowledge' anywhere I apologise for that. There are links below to a number of the individuals and situations we make reference to if you want to get more familiarised. Whilst we were reflecting on some specific recent events, we were also just grappling with what these are symptomatic of. This isn't really intended to be a ‘hot take', it's really just our own attempt to process and make sense of some of the patterns and trends we see, that ought to give us all pause for thought. As we are discussing allegations of clergy abuse and imbalanced power dynamics in religious settings, you may want to proceed with caution if these have been lived realities of yours. As always, take care while listening, and reach out to someone for support if you need it. In this episode we make reference to the following people, situations and resources: Bruxy Cavey's sexual misconduct and The Meeting HouseDanielle Strickland and Jarrod McKenna's response (cited in the article above)Beth Moore and this series of tweetsBrian Houston's resignation from HillsongDan Koch, You Have Permission PodcastJesus and John Wayne, Kristin Kobe Du Mez

Today we respond to three recent scandals in the Evangelical world. This episode is a modified version of our patron-exclusive Generation Gap Culture Hour (GGCH) episodes with Tony Jones. Also joining us is former guest Josh Patterson (Rethinking Faith Podcast), who provides context, having worked with Bruxy as part of the Jesus Collective. Tony also provides context for Bray's story as well as the Christianity Today / Mark Galli allegations.

This is the preach I never got to give. The exposing, painful truth of Bruxy Cavey's sexually abusive history has been an incredibly difficult time for my own community at The Meeting House, the church with whom I served on the teaching team. It has also coincided with many other truths being revealed around Clergy Sexual Abuse, harassment and misconduct from other places as well - Brian Houston, and Christianity Today to name two others exposed just these last few days. It appears we are in a season where God is rooting out some deeply embedded sin. The temptation is to think this is a fight against flesh and blood. But it's much bigger than that. So, what do we do? How do we fight back? Who is our actual enemy here? That's what I hope to communicate in this podcast. Here are some tools and clarity around how we fight back. Ephesians 6:10-20Hope it helps.

Bruxy Cavey, John MacArthur, and others have recently had various types and levels of abuse reported on in their churches by Julie Roys. How are we supposed to think about this? Today we will focus on physical abuse and while we are far from experts on this important issue, we have been through several occurrences of abuse within the church. Our goal will be to have a healthy and biblically grounded conversation on how to deal with abusers and comfort victims in the local church.

Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David? David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”' David calls him ‘Lord.' How then can he be his son?” (Luke 20:41-44)   Jesus has been peppered with questions ever since arriving in Jerusalem's temple.  But after silencing all his opponents, Jesus takes on the role of questioner himself.  Everyone knew that the Messiah would be a Son of the David, thee Son, in fact.  The terms were synonymous.  And when people referred to Jesus as the Son of David, he never took any offence.  Luke was, in fact, at pains in the first couple chapters of his gospel account to tell us that Jesus was the Son of David.  He was fit to be the Messiah.  His credentials checked out. But now Jesus throws a wrench into the whole works.  How can the Messiah be both David's Son and David's Lord at the very same time?  No answer is given.  No one responds.  Jesus doesn't explain.  The narrative just moves on. People's expectations of the Messiah were different than the Messiah that Jesus was.  They were looking for a new earthly King to fight their earthly battles for them, and reclaim their earthly land from Rome.  All their hopes lay within human reach.  But would David have need to refer to one of his merely human descendants as Lord? Only God can save in the ways that we need saving.  Which are earthly ills, yes.  We need saving from the earthly, unjust, violent oppression of war, like what we see playing out in Ukraine under Putin's aggression.  We need saving from earthly abuse and its impacts, as our sisters and brothers in the Meeting House feel acutely right now following Bruxy Cavey's dismissal this week for sexual abuse.  We need saving from disease, as we know from two full years to the day—today—of suffering under a pandemic.  But we also need saving from a spiritual ill that shoots through and undergirds it all: sin. Only the Son of God himself can do both.  Only if Jesus is Lord and Christ can he save us from everything that destroys and disfigures life.  Only if he is both human and divine—imminent and transcendent, near enough, but also big enough—can he save us from our sins and all their effects.  Thanks be to God: Jesus is not merely the Son of David, but also the Son of God.  He is Lord and Christ.  And even today: he reaches down to save, heal, and redeem us from all our violence, abuses, disease, and pain as only our Lord God can do.  But as our human King, he is also close enough to us to comfort us in our sorrow and enfold us into his care.  He is our Lord King, and in all this, we belong to him.  

The Best of 2021: #1 Jesus, Tattoo's and Church with Bruxy Caveywww.jesusneverran.com

Come dipingeresti il volto di Dio? Rassicurante o inquietante? Amorevole o ostile? Se vuoi davvero sapere quale volto ha Dio, ti basta guardare quello di Gesù; non i dipinti di lui, ma ciò che ha fatto qui, quando è sceso in terra. --- Predicatrice: Jean Guest CLICCA SUL TITOLO PER ASCOLTARE IL MESSAGGIO Tempo di lettura: 9 minuti Tempo di ascolto audio/visione video: 29 minuti  Scommetto che se tu chiedessi alle persone di descrivere l'aspetto di Gesù, sarebbero in grado di farlo. Dopo tutto, è la figura più dipinta dell'arte occidentale. È così riconoscibile che la gente sa persino che è lui quando appare sul loro toast.  Vogliamo vedere se riusciamo a descriverlo? Capelli lunghi o corti?  Con la barba o rasato? Magro o robusto?  E naturalmente molto sicuramente bianco!  Per 2000 anni Gesù è stato oggetto di speculazioni artistiche. Il mio preferito è il Gesù palestrato di  questa pubblicità.  Naturalmente non abbiamo idea di che aspetto avesse perché le prime icone erano basate sulle tradizioni del tempo ed avevano a che fare di più col simbolismo cristiano che con la realtà.  Gli dei avevano i capelli lunghi e la barba per mostrare che erano proprio quello, dei; erano seduti su troni per dimostrare il potere; la loro postura simboleggiava il loro rapporto con gli esseri umani: e così Gesù ha la barba, è seduto su un trono e la sua mano ha le due dita unite per mostrare la fusione del divino e dell'umano ed è alzata in segno di benedizione. Ciò che Gesù chiaramente non è l'essere un bianco, e che Dio perdoni noi cristiani occidentali per i danni che abbiamo causato nei secoli insistendo sul fatto che lo era e lo è.  No, non possiamo sapere che aspetto avesse fisicamente Gesù Anche se questa è una ricostruzione fatta attraverso il cranio di un uomo della Galilea dell'epoca di Gesù, ci dà un intrigante sguardo ciò che è possibile. Ma possiamo e sappiamo cosa vedeva la gente quando lo guardava.  Immaginate una persona che sia così persa  e s'allontani così tanto da ciò che sa  essere il giusto e che finisca per vivere una vita totalmente dissoluta, partecipando a comportamenti lascivi e dannosi. Una mattina si ritrova ubriaco con il vomito addosso in un letto e non ha idea di come ci sia arrivato, o dove sia. Ha toccato il fondo. Si vergogna completamente di quello che è diventato/a e decide di tornare a casa barcollando. Arrivato  a casa, sta cercando la chiave, quando la porta si apre e c'è Gesù. Cosa fa Gesù? Cosa vi immaginate che faccia? Si arrabbia? Sembra deluso? Lo fa entrare, ma si gira e se ne va? Tyler Staton, la cui idea ho appena usato, dice che il modo in cui rispondiamo alla domanda rivela il Dio in cui crediamo veramente. Non quello in cui pensiamo di credere, o di cui abbiamo letto, o quello che ci hanno insegnato. Ma la nostra risposta istintiva è il Dio in cui crediamo veramente.  A W. Tozer, pastore americano e pensatore cristiano del 20° secolo, disse questo: “Quello che ci viene in mente quando pensiamo a Dio è la cosa più importante di noi... Noi tendiamo per una legge segreta dell'anima a muoverci verso la nostra immagine mentale di Dio"  (da “The Knowledge of the Holy” - A.W. Tozer) Come hai risposto alla domanda? Il tuo Dio è deluso da te? Ti mette paura? È sempre arrabbiato? È distante?  Se per te è una o tutte queste cose, allora lascia che ti presenti Gesù.  “Ma Gesù ad alta voce esclamò: «Chi crede in me, crede non in me, ma in colui che mi ha mandato;  e chi vede me, vede colui che mi ha mandato.” (Giovanni 12:44-45) Gesù sta dicendo: “Guardami, ecco com'è Dio”. Recentemente ho sentito qualcuno dire: “Se non lo vedi in Gesù, non è vero di Dio”.  Allora perché alcuni di noi lottano per trovare una visione di Dio amorevole, gentile e compassionevole, e finiscono per averne una piena di ira, punizione e disapprovazione? Perché questo è importante.  Vorrei suggerire che parte del problema è che spesso i cristiani non riescono a tenere in equilibrio le scritture. Se guardiamo all'Antico Testamento, vediamo esempi di quello che sembra essere Dio che pone condizioni alla sua misericordia e persino condona la violenza.  Per esempio il Salmo 103: “Come è lontano l'oriente dall'occidente, così ha egli allontanato da noi le nostre colpe. Come un padre è pietoso verso i suoi figli, così è pietoso il Signore verso quelli che lo temono.” (Salmo 103:12-13) Parla dell'incessante amore  di Dio, il suo amore tenero e compassionevole, MA solo per coloro che lo temono. Nel Nuovo Testamento, con la nuova alleanza stabilita attraverso Gesù, troviamo che il suo amore è incondizionato  “Ma Dio, che è ricco in misericordia, per il grande amore con cui ci ha amati, anche quando eravamo morti nei peccati, ci ha vivificati con Cristo (è per grazia che siete stati salvati).” (Efesini 2:4-5) Un altro esempio è la lapidazione delle donne se si pensa abbiano commesso peccati sessuali: “Ma se la cosa è vera, se la giovane non è stata trovata vergine, allora si farà uscire quella giovane all'ingresso della casa di suo padre, e la gente della sua città la lapiderà a morte, perché ha commesso un atto infame in Israele, prostituendosi in casa di suo padre. Così toglierai via il male di mezzo a te. “ (Deuteronomio 22: 20-21) Ma quando la donna sorpresa in adulterio fu portata da Gesù, cosa disse a quelli che chiedevano il suo sangue?  "Quello che fra voi è senza peccato, scagli la prima pietra!" (Giovanni 8:7 b) L'Antico Testamento è ispirato da Dio, ma è pieno di impronte umane. È una rivelazione incompleta di Dio e, come dice Bruxy Cavey, "Gesù chiarisce la nostra visione e ci chiama a ripensare tutto ciò che pensavamo di sapere". La nuova alleanza sostituisce la vecchia.  “Poiché la legge è stata data per mezzo di Mosè; la grazia e la verità sono venute per mezzo di Gesù Cristo. Nessuno ha mai visto Dio; l'unigenito Dio, che è nel seno del Padre, è quello che l'ha fatto conoscere.” (Giovanni 1:17-18) Ancora una volta voglio ricordarvi che Gesù sta dicendo:”Guardatemi, ecco com'è Dio!”  Aggrapparsi all'idea di un Dio arrabbiato e vendicativo non ci fa bene. Ci sono prove che suggeriscono che una tale visione non giova al benessere e alla salute mentale di coloro che hanno tali opinioni.   Il Prof. Pargament ha anche scoperto che:”...  quando le persone credono che Dio le ha abbandonate, o quando mettono in dubbio l'amore di Dio per loro, tendono a sperimentare una maggiore angoscia emotiva, e persino ad affrontare un rischio maggiore di morte anticipata." Né è un bene per coloro a cui siamo destinati ad essere testimoni. Non possiamo spaventare le persone per farle entrare nel Regno, e anche se ci riusciamo, la paura può dare loro una sorta di bussola morale, ma vi garantisco che non saranno credenti gioiosi e pieni di speranza.  Sapete,  c'è una ragione per cui gli scrittori di thriller polizieschi hanno spesso come protagonista principale un fanatico religioso, perché è facile fare la connessione tra qualcuno che crede in un dio vendicativo e lo stesso che si vede come suo agente vendicatore.  Il dott, Newberg ha detto: “Ad esempio, se invece di sostenere l'amore e la compassione, una religione  sostiene l'odio verso i non credenti, anche queste convinzioni negative diventerebbero parte del modo in cui il cervello funziona. In teoria, questo accenderebbe aree del cervello coinvolte nel pensiero dell'odio, e potrebbe aumentare lo stress e stimolare il rilascio di ormoni dello stress.”. Ora non sto suggerendo che tutti noi conosciamo potenziali serial killer, ma scommetto che ci siamo tutti trovati in una stanza con un credente che si è permesso di giudicare un altro essere umano e lo ha giustificato con una scrittura, e una scrittura che non menziona la grazia. Quando la gente ci guarda, ha bisogno di vedere persone che indicano Gesù perché lui è la via, la verità e la vita.  In Ebrei 1, versetto 3, dice “Questo Figlio è lo splendore della gloria di Dio, l'impronta perfetta di ciò che Dio è. . (Ebrei 1:3 a) E la parola  impronta nell'originale greco è  χαρακτήρ charaktēr, che significa "'espressione esatta (l'immagine) di qualsiasi persona o cosa, somiglianza marcata, riproduzione precisa in ogni aspetto." Ovvero, un facsimile Quando guardiamo Gesù vediamo veramente Dio. E cosa vediamo?  La sua compassione che ridà vita e speranza; ci sono infiniti esempi di come Gesù dimostri questo, ma uno dei preferiti è la storia della madre il cui figlio è morto: “Quando fu vicino alla porta della città, ecco che si portava alla sepoltura un morto, figlio unico di sua madre, che era vedova; e molta gente della città era con lei. Il Signore, vedutala, ebbe pietà di lei e le disse: «Non piangere!» E, avvicinatosi, toccò la bara; i portatori si fermarono ed egli disse: «Ragazzo, dico a te, àlzati!»  Il morto si mise a sedere e cominciò a parlare. E Gesù lo restituì a sua madre. “(Luca 7:12-15) Il suo profondo amore per gli infranti e gli emarginati  “Una donna, che aveva perdite di sangue da dodici anni {e aveva speso tutti i suoi beni con i medici} senza poter essere guarita da nessuno, si avvicinò di dietro e gli toccò il lembo della veste; e in quell'istante il suo flusso di sangue cessò. E Gesù disse: «Chi mi ha toccato?» E siccome tutti negavano, Pietro e quelli che erano con lui dissero: «Maestro, la folla ti stringe e ti preme [e tu dici: Chi mi ha toccato?]».  Ma Gesù replicò: «Qualcuno mi ha toccato, perché ho sentito che una potenza è uscita da me».  La donna, vedendo che non era rimasta inosservata, venne tutta tremante e, gettatasi ai suoi piedi, [gli] dichiarò, in presenza di tutto il popolo, per quale motivo lo aveva toccato e come era stata guarita in un istante.  Ma egli le disse: «Figliola, [coraggio,] la tua fede ti ha salvata; va' in pace».” (Luca 8:43-48) È stata evitata come impura per dodici anni, non ha conosciuto un tocco amorevole in tutto questo tempo e lui la chiama figlia (tra l'atro è l'unica volta che Gesù usa questo sostantivo); non solo è guarita, ma  viene anche riabilitata come persona.  Riuscite a immaginare cosa significasse per lei?  Il suo amore incondizionato che  guarda sempre, e aspetta, e corre verso di noi.  “Egli dunque si alzò e tornò da suo padre. Ma mentre egli era ancora lontano, suo padre lo vide e ne ebbe compassione; corse, gli si gettò al collo e lo baciò.”(Luca 15:20) I prodighi sono ritornati là dove erano partiti. La porta è aperta e siamo invitati ad entrare da un Dio amorevole, misericordioso e compassionevole che dice: "Benvenuti".  Volgi il tuo sguardo su Gesù  Guarda a fondo nel suo meraviglioso volto.  Amen.GUARDA LE DIAPOSITIVE DEL MESSAGGIOGUARDA IL VIDEO DEL MESSAGGIO IN BASSA RISOLUZIONE SU FACEBOOKGUARDA IL VIDEO DEL MESSAGGIO IN BASSA RISOLUZIONE SU INSTAGRAM---GUARDA IL VIDEO DEL MESSAGGIO IN HD (Visita il nostro sito per ascoltare la registrazione audio, vedere il video del messaggio, per scaricare gli appunti e per vedere le diapositive del messaggio)

Bruxy Cavey is a Canadian pastor working with The Meeting House, a church with roots in the Anabaptist movement. He has written a book about having a relationship with Jesus called The End of Religion. You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and bruxy.com.      Satan has always been after Christians and works to seduce them with power, he convinces people they can make their country more Christian through politics. He pushes us to seek religion rather than relationships. Bruxy is here today to teach about a different way to change the world-- the way the Anabaptists follow; the way of love and non-violence; the way of Jesus. Anabaptists believe politics has nothing to do with Jesus. We should ignore what the government is doing and focus on our Kingdom mission, which is to love people and introduce them to Love Himself. You can find more about the anabaptists' background and beliefs here: Radical Reformation Teaching.      Full Show notes: www.thebadroman.com/show-notes/44-love-without-politics-with-bruxy-cavey     Blog submissions: thebadroman.com/contribute-to-the-blog     Connect with us on social: thebadroman.com/social-links     Want to get more involved?

33 | Bruxy Cavey on Deconstructing and Reconstructing Faith, How Jesus Redefines our Concept of Kingdom and Community, Navigating the Tension Between Institutional Religion and Organic Faith, and Living in Celebration of the Gospel

Bruxy Cavey is the senior pastor at The Meeting House, a church for people who aren't into church. The Meeting House is a multisite Anabaptist congregation in Ontario, Canada where thousands of people connect to God and each other through Sunday services, online interaction, and a widespread house church network. Bruxy is also author of the bestselling book, The End of Religion and his new book, (re)union: The Good News of Jesus for Seekers, Saints, and Sinners. In my time with Bruxy, we talk about so many things: how legalism can find its way into our relationship with food or exercise, why he finds Jesus to be so magnetic, why God is more beautiful than we can fathom, and how we have a pivotal role in bringing about more beauty in the world. I hope this episode encourages you today and inspires all of us to be “part of the solution…partnering with God to bring about something good,” as Bruxy puts it.

Sam Harvey gives an overview of the message that we carry, and drawing from Bruxy Cavey's book "Reunion", looks at one word that describes the gospel, three words and thirty!

Bruxy Cavey, author, and pastor of The Meeting House, dives into relational faith, loving God through loving our neighbor, repenting with a hopeful future focus, how doubt is connected to our faith, how we are not people of the book (bible) we are people of the person (Jesus), and three perspectives on hell concluding with the fact that the New Testament church never leveraged hell to get people to make a decision for Jesus.

Bruxy Cavey, an Anabaptist pastor and part of the Meeting House church in Canada, drops in on our podcast this week. He's here to discuss his new book "The End of Religion." Bruxy and Jonny talk about faith traditions, religious people, spiritual family, creative engagement in loving our enemies, and questioning structures and systems that get in the way of following Jesus. And way way more! About "The End of Religion" - "Cavey contends that the Jesus described in the Bible never intended to found a new religion; instead he hoped to break down the very idea of religion as a way to God. With a fresh perspective on biblical stories, Cavey paints a picture of the world God originally intended and still desires: a world without religion." Also, a touching follow-up on our disability theology convo from last episode, and a little Spiritual Show and Tell. //Notes// The Meeting House: https://www.themeetinghouse.com/ Bruxy Cavey: https://www.bruxy.com/ Twitter, Instagram: @bruxy https://www.facebook.com/bruxy https://heraldpress.com/books/the-end-of-religion-expanded-edition/ Abuelita Faith by Kat Armas http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/abuelita-faith/406161 //About this Podcast// Resist and Restore is a podcast by Circle of Hope.

We're excited for you to watch this week's show. Addison Aspilla, one of our Takeover Winners, hosts this SPICY show about 'WHERE ARE ALL THE CHRISTIAN MEN?" Yep! You heard that right. We go there. And this show is not just for single women looking to get married, but it's also for women married to men who are just not 'into' the whole God thing, and for US the big 'C' church .. on why and how we should support our single people because we're not doing a great job at it currently. And, if we did support them well and include them in our lives (being a part of our communities, inviting them to dinners and lunches) maybe, just maybe, single people wouldn't feel so alone, isolated and forgotten. So as part of our exploration and discussion today on Where are all the Christian Men and What do we do about it; we have a PANEL OF MEN who will be sharing their thoughts with us: Bruxy Cavey, Lead Pastor of The Meeting House, Rev. Chris, The 'Viral Vicar' on YouTube and Dr. Narry Santos, Associate Professor at Tyndale Seminary. An Important conversation for ALL OF US – single or married – and how we can support and love one another.

We all know that Christianity is a "relationship, not a religion." But how do we act on that 'knowledge.' Pastor and author Bruxy Cavey joins us to chat about his new book, "The End of Religion" and its themes for the individual and church.  CONNECT:  @bruxycavey www.bruxy.com

In this sermon, Bruxy Cavey talks about what it means for God's light to shine through the body of Christ in the midst of the world. We are to witness to the world what God has done in our life and wants to do in the world. This is the first sermon in a three-part series on what it means practically to be salt and light in our world.

Should Christians be involved in affairs of the state? Do taxes make us responsible and complicit for the sins of a nation? In this episode Craig speaks with Bruxy Cavey, pastor at The Meeting House Church in Canada. The conversation was sparked by a video Bruxy made explaining the separation of Church and State as an actual separation. They explore the importance of reading Romans 12 before Romans 13, how pacifism is not equivalent to  inaction, and how we might go about “planting a pebbles in people's shoes.”   To learn more about Bruxy, read his writing and explore his teachings please visit his website bruxy.com!    For full show notes, to learn more about The Bad Roman Project visit thebadroman.com/episodes If you have a question about this episode or any previous episodes leave us a voice message or send us an email and your question or comment could be on the next Bad Roman Round Table!

We are starting a new series entitled Course Corrections. In this first installment our guest speaker Bruxy Cavey lays the groundwork in examining how internalizing the gospel message actually affects our lives. In the past century the gospel has often times been minimized as a ticket out of here, instead of an example to be imitated of how we actually live in the here and now. As Bruxy said, "the gospel is not just a message that saves people, it is the message that saved people live by."

To finish our Cross Centered sermon series we held a Q&A night on Sunday, April 9th. It was hosted by Greg Boyd, Dennis Edwards and Bruxy Cavey. It was a Q&A on the topics relating to Cross Centered, and to Greg's new book, Crucifixion of the Warrior God.

How are other pastors and church leaders responding to Greg's proposal for interpreting the violence of God in the Old Testament? In this sermon, we get to hear from the perspective of Bruxy Cavey, pastor of The Meeting House in Toronto, Canada. He summarizes his interpretation of Greg's writings, and offers his take.

In the third sermon in this series, given by Bruxy Cavey, we take another look at God's original plan for the world to live without religion. We learn that we do not study Scripture so that we can follow Scripture. We study Scripture so that we can follow Jesus.

Church history has been painted and made by angry, alpha types. Whether it was governments or church leaders, it seems that we find violent, power-hungry attitudes throughout history. In this sermon, Bruxy Cavey teaches the importance of dealing with the temptation of anger.
