On today's episode we're discussing the topic of Climate Justice in the wake of the recent COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland on October 31 through November 13 of 2021 (the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties). We are joined by three guests from Australia: Pastor Ray Minniecon, Jarrod McKenna, and Dr. Byron Smith. Over the course of our conversation we talk about the severity of the problem of climate change and how it impacts indigenous communities, and the theological necessity to engage ourselves with the work of climate justice as an embodied expression of hope in the resurrection. Pastor Ray Minniecon is an Australian indigenous leader and a descendant of the Kabi Kabi nation, the Gureng Gureng nation of South-East Queensland, and also the South Sea Islander people with deep connections to the people of Ambrym Island. He holds many roles, including as executive member of the Indigenous People's Organization, Director of Bunji Consultancies, and Honorary Indigenous Minister for Scarred Tree Indigenous Ministries, St. John's Anglican Church, Glebe. Pastor Ray also recently attended COP26. Jarrod McKenna is the co-host of the Inverse Podcast, the Founder of First Home Project for refugees, was the founding CEO of Common Grace (a Christian advocacy organisation), an initiator of LoveMakesAWay.org.au (a movement for refugees which has become the largest faith based civil disobedience movement in Australia's history), and was World Vision Australia's National Advisor for Faith and Activism and a Nonviolent Social Change Educator for World Vision in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Dr. Byron Smith is an ecological ethicist and Christian minister. His PhD in theological ethics from the University of Edinburgh focused on emotional responses to climate change in the context of Christian identity. His time is split between pastoral ministry in the Anglican church in Sydney, and a speaking/writing ministry helping churches join the dots between ecological justice and faith. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne and Stephanie Kate Judd.

On the last episode of this season, we're taking a trip "down under" with Tyler and Chelsea Goss as they reflect on their time hanging with Jarrod McKenna and the First Home Project for a year. Listen to stories about their living in an intentional community that's geared towards helping refugees and asylum seekers [...]

In doing this, we’ll hear from my mate Jarrod McKenna as we hear his story and explore things like…-What is non-violence, actually?-What is non-violence trying to achieve?-What does non-violence look like on the ground?-What do we do with the larger questions of non-violence as it pertains to problems in our world?

Episode One Hundred and Twenty is here and it is with Jarrod McKenna. Listen as we talk about his journey to being an artist, to studying theology, to his involvements in NGO’s, building the “First Home Project” to creating Common Grace and how his faith has been form throughout that journey.

Our guest and friend, Jarrod McKenna joins us this week to continue our series on the beatitudes, with Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. - Matt. 5:7. Pastor, activist and co-founder of First Home Project, Jarrod is well-placed to teach us about what mercy looks like and how God's people can show the mercy of God to others.

My guest today is Jarrod McKenna.Jarrod McKenna the is the Teaching Pastor at Cornerstone Church in Perth, he is the co-founder of "First Home Project", a community welcoming housing and “giving a hand up not a hand-out” to recently arrived refugees, and is a peace award winning nonviolent social change trainer.Jarrod obviously a very smart and charismatic man - not many pastors are anything less - but Jarrod is also a man who is voracious in his drive to campaign for positive social change when it comes to asylum seekers and refugees.Not many folks are willing to risk their lives for a cause - and Jarrod did just that, when he was smuggled onto Manus Island to spend time with and speak with people that our Australian government has detained.Among those people - are 107 children.Children like your kids and mine.Kids who are far from home, scared and needing care and support.When I pay my taxes, that money gets used for many things that I’m happy about.Roads, hospitals, infrastructure and social services.That money is also being used to detain children who had no choice in their situation.That’s my money. Your money.Personally - I’m not too happy about it.Do I have an answer to people arriving to Australia by boat?Nope.Is locking up children the answer?Not as far as I’m concerned.Jarrod belongs to a church that I have had a few things to do with over the years - and not all of those experiences were positive, but as you’ll hear me say to him - I’ve learned to be quick to see where religious people are right.Just because I have a different idea of what might be ‘god’ or a ‘higher power’ doesn’t mean that I can’t powerfully share values of kindness, compassion and caring for others in our community that a man like Jarrod does.Jarrod is a good man, a kind man, and I’m very proud to support him and bring this conversation to you.If you’d like to support Jarrod and his work - www.kidsoffnauru.com is where to start.We do talk about some pretty heavy stuff here - including talk about suicide. If you or anyone you know needs support - please take control and call lifeline on 13 11 14.I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jarrod McKenna.

Grace. It's more than just a word. It's more than a theory or a concept. I saw grace in such a powerful and tangible way recently while I was visiting Jarrod McKenna in Perth.Jarrod is a friend, pastor, non-violent activist, father, and prolific speaker. He has spoken in many different environments ranging from churches to music festivals (including Splendour in the Grass). He is the founder of First Home Project in Perth and currently lives there with refugees in Perth. Jarrod also works internationally as an activist trainer, particularly in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.It was an absolute privilege to have him share with great vulnerability during this episode. He is a man who is so in love with Jesus and truly believes that healing will come to humanity and that it will come through our love for our neighbour, whomever that might be. 

This week on the podcast we find out what it's really like to open your home to refugees. We talk to Jarrod McKenna from the First Home Project who lives in a street where 24 refugees have been made welcome by every neighbour.  We also discuss if 'Quality Time' is bogus and what time is meaningful with family. Plus the right and wildly wrong things we learnt from the secret books and what happens when Coyote caught the Roadrunner.

Jarrod McKenna is one of those "cool Christians" you've heard about, except he actually is genuinely cool. Jarrod is many things: a pastor, a protestor, the National Advisor for Youth, Faith and Activism for World Vision Australia, founder of the Love Makes A Way campaign and the First Home Project, theologian, husband, dad and drealocked d00d. He subscribes to the whacky idea that Christianity should look like Jesus and that compels him to do good, important things.   In this conversation (recorded in the communal kitchen of the First Home Project) we covered a lot: the problematic nature of ANZAC Day, his journey to faith, living Jesus’ love, being the Christian kid at school, non-violent protest and how he turned a further meth lab in the Perth suburb of Midland into a home for people who are trying to build a new life for themselves.    My upcoming dates on the MICF Roadshow @jarrodmckenna Jarrod on Facebook Love Makes A Way on Facebook The First Home Project campaign video The First Home Project on Facebook Causes of the Week: The Coalition for Asylym Seekers, Refugees and Detainees (carad.org.au), the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (asrc.org.au), SOS Blak Australia (sosblakaustralia.com)    

Jarrod McKenna, activist and pastor from Perth, Australia joins the show to discuss the First Home Project, why he keeps getting arrested, Fair Go, his experience in Nashville at Lipscomb University, 9/11, the importance of Prayer and why he will never be invited to Texas.

The Immigration Department has a slogan on its website that declares "No Way. They will not make Australia home." The slogan is aimed at deterring asylum-seekers from fleeing to Australia to establish a new life for themselves. Life and Faith spoke to Jarrod McKenna who is co-founder of First Home Project, which welcomes refugees and new arrivals to the country to live with Jarrod and his wife for a year so they can get established. Simon Smart also discusses the appeal that home holds for us.
