In the midst of so much sorrow and grief, we released Peace Songs, a record in partnership with Good Shepherd Collective on our Principles and Practices of Peacemaking. When it was planned to be released at the end of October, we didn't know it would come as a timely dose of beauty and hope in a time of so much sorrow. But we are glad it has. Listen to a conversation with David Gungor and Kate Gungor, Liz Vice and Diana Gameros about the new album and one of the songs, Accomplice.

After eight and a half years, beloved Telos team member Jack Saba, Israel/Palestine Program Director, is transitioning into a year-long sabbatical from Telos starting in September. He joined David Gungor on the show to reflect on time with Telos and what's next.Sometimes, peacemaking can be perceived as “neutrality” or “passivity.” Jack reminds us that actually, peacemaking is tough and gritty. It comes with a cost. With clarity and vulnerability, he describes what those costs have been for him and his family, reminding us that a future of mutual flourishing means a future free to simply be human, without having to be consumed by conflict (or even its transformation).It is a radical act to commit to rest and your own humanity when you're wired to jump into the midst of conflict for its transformation. But we're thankful Jack is doing so. Somehow, even when stepping away for a time, Jack is still teaching us what it means to be a peacemaker. Listen to his last interview (for now!) on the show and wish him a farewell on social media

What do we do when it feels like we take one step forward toward peace and justice, but two steps back? When the temptation to nihilism is strong, is there room for hope? In the newest single in the Peace Songs album, Kate Gungor, John Guerra, and Diana Gameros explored the possibility of hope in the face of nihilism. They declare with us that hope is not a feeling, but an action. It is something we do—like the patient, attentive tending of a garden, in expectation of its bloom.Hear from Kate and David Gungor in this episode exploring the story behind Garden Will Bloom, the newest single by Good Shepherd Music Collective in partnership with Telos.

Meet Peace Songs, the album by the Good Shepherd Music Collective in partnership with Telos, coming this September!In this short, musician, pastor, and Telos team member David Gungor invites us into stories and inspiration behind this exciting new project, which is based on Telos' Principles and Practices of Peacemaking. David had his first experience with Telos in 2013 with a group of Christian leaders. After it, he embarked on a new journey of creating music that inspires empathy. This album, almost 10 years after his first trip, invests deeper into that mission by exploring each of the  Principles and Practices of Peacemaking. More than a dozen musicians and artists contributed to this album, which hopes to bring peacemaking to congregations, communities, and beyond. Listen to the end to get a sneak preview to the first single, Side by Side, sung by Charles Jones and Dee Wilson, dropping tomorrow June 2! Read and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking Follow Telos on Instagram @thetelosgroupIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts or SpotifySubscribe to the Telos Newsletter

Last week David Gungor shared his struggle in determining his type, how he embraces his “chaotic intentionality,” and what it means to need others to “get out of his face.”  Today we continue the conversation using the Enneagram to help Enneagram Eights grow in self-awareness through spiritual practices and leaning into the people they do trust to gain true intimacy.   David Gungor is a member of The Brilliance, the American worship music duo of David Gungor and John Arndt. The band started making music in 2010 under the Integrity Music label.  Their latest album was “All is Not Lost” released in January 2017. David is also an associate pastor at Trinity Grace Tribeca. For more information about David, visit www.thebrilliancemusic.com  

Enneagram Eights are called The Challenger for a good reason.  Eights don't like to feel controlled and avoid any appearance of vulnerability.  They are naturally confrontational and their combative energy can feel intimidating to others.  But what feels like intimidation to others actually feels like connection to an Eight.  Eights express their anger freely, are fueled by high levels of stimulation, and react very strongly against challenging injustices.  And, as you'll hear from our guest, David Gungor, the “circle of trust” is small but tight. So what does it sound like when an Eight acknowledges their weakness or vulnerability? What does it look like when you break through that tough exterior? Listen to today's replay from Season 1 as David Gungor shares his struggle in determining his type, how he embraces his “chaotic intentionality,” and what it means to need others to “get out of his face.” David Gungor is a member of The Brilliance, the American worship music duo of David Gungor and John Arndt.

[acf field="sbtc-embed"][acf field="podcast-link-buttons"]Lift your hands up to the sky.Whether "Shout to the Lord," gives you nostalgic warm fuzzies or sends a chill up your spine, if you've ever owned a WOW CD, this episode is for you. For many who grew up in evangelical spaces, the music was as defining as any sermon or youth group Bible study. There was the worship music on Sundays, the Christian ska for Friday nights and, if you like REM, maybe check out Newsboys?Katelyn and Roxy grew up in, we'd argue, the glory days of CCM (Contemporary Christian Music), but our relationship to that particular music of our youth is, well, complicated. We talk with theologian and CCM guru, Leah Payne, about the evolving industry and how worship music became big business. We're also joined by pastor and songwriter David Gungor to explore the formative power of worship liturgies.GUESTS:Leah Payne is a theology professor at Portland Seminary, cohost of the Weird Religion podcast, and author of a forthcoming book on the history of CCM.David Gungor is the worship pastor at Good Shepherd New York.

None of us can turn away from the news in Ukraine. We stand behind international law and decry the Russian invasion, just as we lament the loss of life and displacement this invasion will cause. In this moment, don't look away. We're developing and sourcing resources now to direct you on getting active for peace. In the meantime, we want to share some good, and dare we say it, hopeful news: Telos travel is finally back after two years. We'd love to tell you all about it. Commander Mike Horn, recently retired from the Tempe Police Department, joined David Gungor to discuss his recent Telos trip leading law enforcement across the US South to discover deeper truths about what it means to be a "peace officer." Mike shares about their powerful encounters with stories that have left them completely changed and ready to dive back into their work transformed.We also hear from Jack as he shares about our first trip to Israel/Palestine since early 2020, and the joy of reuniting with our partners and friends on the ground.In this moment, we're not asking you to tune out from the headlines—we're living in a potentially world-shifting moment. But those are often the exact moments when we need stories of hope and joy all the more.

Questions we had for David in this episode: Tell us about the song and iInspiration behind "Turning Over Tables," the theme song for our podcast? Can you unpack the relationship between imagination, faith, and discipleship? What are the advantages—both in art and peacemaking—to being comfortable with dissonance?

In this episode of Undaunted, we hear from fathers, activists, and best friends Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin. According to convention, they should be enemies—Rami is Israeli, Bassam is Palestinian. But they’ve been united together through the gravest of circumstances: the loss of their daughters to the conflict. In the face of their shared grief, they’ve committed their lives to writing a different future for their home. One where the cycle of violence is broken, reconciliation is possible, and a just peace is secured for all. They share their stories with us in this episode. Rami and Bassam are members of the Parents Circle - Families Forum, an organization of over 600 bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families working to build a reconciliation process as a prerequisite to sustainable peace in Israel/Palestine.

This week, we’re releasing a double feature: our peace hero Robi Damelin, followed by Telos co-founder and president, Greg Khalil. Greg co-founded Telos after living in Ramallah and advising Palestinian leadership on peace negotiations with Israel. When we talk about peacemaking, we mean so much more than kumbaya credits. Today, Greg shares why. He dives into the challenges peacemakers face, how peacemaking can be hard, gritty, even dangerous, and how story can be both the cage and the key to our freedom. In this episode, three stories: the man in the white shirt, the man in the red shirt, and the girl with the pink backpack.

Unless we find concrete ways to weep over the brokenness, we will often use the brokenness to break others. Or ourselves. Lament provides a healing third way to engage the sorrow without exporting it. In this episode, Aaron Niequist invites us into this historic spiritual practice. Carried by Jenna Perinne's nine steps of lament, David Gungor's singing, and a whole team of collaborators, you will experience a liturgy of lament, and you'll be empowered to create your own. For such a time as this.

A rousing conversation the day after our Premiere Live Event at NYC's Cathedral of St John the Divine, we bring our guests into the studio: David Gungor of the Brilliance, faith futurist Maria French of H&Co, and author and theologian John Thatamanil of Union Theological Seminary. Beginning with our reflections on the previous night's event, the group launches into a wide-ranging conversation about spirituality, the state of the church in America, politics, capitalism, technology, and some deep theology about the relationship between our desires and our spirituality, and the powerful mythic language that can help us orient those desires toward the good.

Author and speaker Carlos Whittaker is today’s special guest co-host as we discuss the controversy surrounding Liberty’s Falkirk Center think-tank, the Oscars nominations, Lauren Daigle’s performance at the National Championship game and a lot more!

Other contributors include: James McAlister of Sufjan Stevens, Jarod Evans of Blackwatch Studios, and Huntley Miller, Mastering Engineer for Bon Iver, Zedd, and more.   Further Info: As a straight white male, Will Retherford was compelled to write an advocate song for his queer friends and the larger LGBTQ+ community. He wrote this song on the same day as the wedding of his dear friends Sam & Haley Hedrick, in which one is transgender. As a long-time advocate for the queer community, Will has been frustrated at the great rejection of these people from society, church, and family. Will hopes this song brings healing to many and convicts the right people who are infected by homophobia. Although this song is for queer people, it belongs to all people who have been rejected, shut out, and told to change. “Take pride. Take heart.”  Artist Quote: “Some of my queer friends have been the most important people in my life. This is a song to tell them to never change who they are and that they are very much loved.”  Artist Bio: Artist and producer Will Retherford is known for writing about social constructs and post-spiritual ideas crafted with the sounds of orchestral dream pop and mild flavors of folk and indie rock. Inspired by his Anglican faith and participation in activism, Will seeks to unite people through the power of music and ideas in the everyday discovery of purpose and belonging.  

Mercy is one of those things that I want freely bestowed upon me, and yet I tend to be pretty stingy with mercy for others. God's Word has wrecked me over the past few weeks as it relates to mercy. The Porter's Gate Worship Project has a haunting ballad that has complimented my study as I worship with their song, "Have Mercy on Me." As we look intently into the mercy of God, may we better reflect it in our own lives. On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Use an outside resource - I used this excerpt from a book by Herman Bavinck Explore a topic Write out Scripture Slow down Make a list Complete a word study Being initially inspired by Psalm 18:25-27 that we first discussed on Episode #266 How I need to see God's mercy and so I need to learn to be merciful Bavinck's definition, "The goodness of God, when shown to those in misery, is called mercy." A great confession of the Old Testament - Exodus 34:6 The results of mercy as found in Deuteronomy 4:31 God's great mercy despite our unfaithfulness - 2 Chronicles 30:9 Contrasting God's mercy to the ways of men in Psalm 86:15 Realizing God's mercy is what causes his wondrous works to be remembered as we see in Psalm 111:4 and as discussed on Episode #265 Contrasting the attitude of men with the mercy of God in 2 Samuel 24:14 and Proverbs 12:10 Completing a word study on three different words translated as mercy Rachum Channun Checed Mercy triumphs over judgement - James 2:13       Additional Resources Lyrics and music - Porter's Gate Worship Project Story Behind the Porter's Gate Worship Project - YouTube Video This Week's Challenge Use the excerpt I found by Herman Bavinck to look up all of the Scripture references for yourself.

What do you do when your faith doesn't match most of the lyrics and style of Christian music? What makes music "Christian" anyway? David Gungor (The Brilliance) sat down to chat about how his music has changed with his faith, how he can still appreciate some aspects of Christian music, and why the word "God" shows up less and less frequently in his music.

What happens when the pastor of a progressive, social justice obsessed church buys a modern sporting rifle? Freakouts and hand-wringing, of course.

What the band for The Brilliance looks like. How David goes about writing and who he involves in the process. The logistics for the recording process.
