More on metaphors. We talk more about the idea of Jesus as 'Lord', and discuss how changes in culture, society or even technology might change our understanding of long-standing human metaphors. Also we talk about ritual and sacraments and how so many of them are simply heightened versions of everyday human activities. Meanwhile, Nick's preaching has some unexpectedly dramatic consequences and Joe thinks everyone should wear a tiara.

Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is a deliberate act of political confrontation with the Roman Empire's powers-that-be. After casing the mostly deserted late evening Temple, he makes plans to return the next day to make a royal mess of things; to disrupt business as usual. The Way Jesus walks, the Way that Jesus calls us to walk (together!), is a Way lined with palms that leads to confrontation with Empire.Sermon begins at minute marker 5:03Mark 11.1-19ResourcesBibleWorm podcast: Episode 531 – The Triumphal Entry, Amy Robertson and Robert Williamson, Jr.Ched Myers, “Palm Sunday As Subversive Street Theatre,” posted on Radical Discipleship, 2021.Marcus J.

Ched Myers wrote a book in the 80's called "Binding the Strong Man" which was a HUGE development in studying the Mark's gospel. I had to read this tome of a book for a class, and there is so much I want to talk about in it, but to start I just wanted to fill you all in on something called "hermeneutics." Understanding this term is important for all of us as we strive to grow in faith and understanding!

A re-telling of Mark 13 into one local context: for the apocalyptic tradition is "both profoundly contextual and transferable" (Ched Myers).

For Pentecost 20 Fran and Sean focus on Job's profound sense of God's absence in Job 23:1-9; 16-17. We note that Job has loudly rejected the theology  of his friends, who all assert that Job's suffering is the result of his sin. Job's is a bold and courageous stance is to defy them, and to continue to seek, approach, even rebel against God despite his ongoing despair. Psalm 22;1-15 is an echo of Job's suffering and also, of course, the Psalm from which Jesus' cry of dereliction comes. Both the Psalmist and Job somehow remain faithful when all the evidence asks them to do otherwise. Mark 10:17-31 outlines the hard call of discipleship for the rich man. We talk about the radical deconstruction of economic and power structures required when following Jesus 'on the way', and note the emotional and existential shock - the disruption - that the call to follow elicits in Jesus' followers - including us! We mention Jesper Svartvik's The New Testament's most dangerous book for Jews. Ched Myers et al's Say to This Mountain: Mark's Story of Discipleship

When your entire understanding of God, Jesus, and faith is filtered through the lens of the colonizer, it changes everything. But as today's guest points out, it's to the detriment of not only ourselves, but to everyone and every thing. Author Ched Myers talks with us about “radical discipleship,” how that relates to decolonizing our white American evangelical faith, and how a decolonized reading of Jesus offers us a truly wholistic, abundant, life-giving faith.Note: We apologize for Ched's sound quality on this episode.Find Ched online: https://chedmyers.org, https://healinghauntedhistories.org, https://www.bcm-net.org If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and a review

Ched Myers is a theologian, and author of the explosive Binding the Strong Man: A Political Reading of Mark's Story of Jesus. We asked Ched to reflect on the theology and ecology of rivers for this extended devotional podcast. He takes us on a journey down the Ventura river, where he lives in California, and goes on to open up the radical political imagination of the many biblical visions of rivers, in a world where colonisation and empire habitually steal water and turn fertile places into deserts.  Ched has recently co-authored, with Elaine Enns: Healing Haunted Histories: A Settler Discipleship of Decolonization.

On episode twenty-four, I'm sitting down with Kristen Daley-Mosier to discuss baptism and her research on the subject! About Kristen: Kristen Daley Mosier completed her M.Div. at Fuller Seminary Northwest (Seattle) in 2012, and holds a B.A. in Art History from Western Washington University. Based in the Pacific Northwest, her research interests explore intersections of creation, spirit, materiality, and place. She is particularly interested in developing a theology of water that connects persons, places, and the experience of baptism through the life of the Holy Spirit. Kristen lives in the Seattle area with her spouse, with whom she serves the community of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, located on Duwamish land in the Cedar River watershed.

Dr Angela Sawyer joins us to explore the tender and powerful image of God in Isaiah 40, as well as the cosmic and personal hope the end of exile represents to Israel. We talk about suffering and the yearning for freedom and fulfilment in Israel’s foundational story, and how it informs and shapes ours (communally). In a few short phrases Mark 1 outlines the subversive character of Mark’s writing, and of Jesus’ message of ‘good news’. We note that everybody came to hear John talk about repentance: what is the peculiar task of preaching about repentance in the 21st century? We highlight some key Advent questions: for whom are we waiting and why? We refer to Ched Myers’, Binding the Strong Man and Rick Morton’s One Hundred of Dirt.

In this weeks episode we speak with Ched Myers on Sabbath economics. Not sure what Sabbath economics is?

On this special episode, I am joined by Alex Gapud to discuss Jesus and empire. We look at Mark 5:1-20, the story of Jesus and the Gerasene Demoniac, and Ched Myers’ interpretation of it. We also lean on Alex’s expertise as a scholar of the British empire to discuss how the effects of the colonial era are still felt today.https://www.hermeneuticofresistance.com/Episode Bibliography:Ched Myers, Binding the Strong Man: A Political Reading of Mark’s Story of Jesus

We may try to separate money and faith in our lives, but the Bible will have none of that. Money themes are woven throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. We have lessons and stories, parables and prophecies about living together in God’s economy of enough for all. In this program, we begin to recover what God has provided in the Scriptures. Activist, theologian and popular educator Ched Myers will share his thoughtful and challenging insights into the Bible’s instructions around money, and we will hear examples of people who are, today, taking these biblical instructions to heart in their daily lives. These biblical foundations will provide solid footing as we continue to make the connection between our money and our faith.

In this episode, to address our current situation, I take a break from Matthew and hop over to the Gospel of Luke to look at the Parable of the Dishonest Manager - A strange parable for strange times. I am indebted to Ched Myers for opening up the secrets of this parable for me.

Episode 153

In this episode, recorded at the Kinsler Bartimaeus Institute in February of 2017, Elaine Enns and Ched Myers reflect on the fragmentation of movements for justice since the Beyond Vietnam speech. Ched shares about the disillusionment following the 60s when justice-minded people broke into niches, focusing on one issue to the exclusion of the rest. Elaine offers the wisdom of Audre Lorde who challenged people to "do their own work" and recognize that our very bodies are intersectional and therefore our movements must be as well. Elaine Enns and Ched Myers are co-directors of Bartimaeus Cooperative Ministries. Elaine recently completed a doctorate of ministry on historical responsibility and intergenerational trauma among Canadian Prairie Settler Mennonites and their relationship with Indigenous neighbors. Ched Myers has authored many books, including Binding the Strong Man and Say to This Mountain. Together Ched and Elaine reside in the Ventura River Watershed.

In this episode, recorded at the Kinsler Bartimaeus Institute in February of 2017, Elaine Enns, Ched Myers and Joanna Shenk offer input on the history of enslavement, the eras of reconstruction and the drafting of the Beyond Vietnam speech that Dr. King delivered on April 4, 1967, one year before he was assassinated. Many people in movement communities are familiar with the Beyond Vietnam speech, but few know about the man who drafted it, Dr. Vincent Harding. Elaine and Ched offer analysis of the history of movements for justice in the United States, encouraging us to neither overplay our current political reality or underplay the obstacles and oppression of the past. Joanna shares from her personal relationship with Dr. Vincent Harding and from his own words describing the experience of drafting the Beyond Vietnam speech and what it means for us today. Elaine Enns and Ched Myers are co-directors of Bartimaeus Cooperative Ministries. Elaine recently completed a doctorate of ministry on historical responsibility and intergenerational trauma among Canadian Prairie Settler Mennonites and their relationship with Indigenous neighbors.
