What does it mean to be fully alive and at peace with ourselves and our neighbors in the anxiety and fear of contemporary life?Joining Evan Rosa in this episode is Elizabeth Oldfield—a journalist, communicator, and podcast host of The Sacred. She's author of Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times.Together they discuss life in her micro-monastery in south London; the meaning of liturgical and sacramental life embedded in a fast-paced, technological, capitalistic, obsessively popular society; the concept of personal encounter and Martin Buber's idea that “all living is meeting”; the fundamentally disconnecting power of sin that works against the fully aliveness of truly meeting the other; including discussions of wrath or contempt that drives us toward violence; greed or avarice and the incessant insatiable accumulation of wealth; the attention-training benefits of gratitude and the identify forming power of our attention; throughout it all, working through the spiritual psychology of sin and topography of the soul—and the fact that we are, all of us, in Elizabeth's words, “unutterably beloved.”About Elizabeth OldfieldElizabeth Oldfield is a journalist, communicator, and author.

Christianity and Hip Hop have a long and complex relationship. From Kanye's Jesus Walks to the development of Christian Hip Hop, artists rapping about their faith has caused controversy in a genre that's known for its violent oversexualised lyrics. But who's rapping about God right now and is anyone claiming the title of Christian rapper? Swarzy Macaly, a BBC 1Xtra presenter, is a Christian who works within the mainstream music world, playing secular music. She loves it when she hears people share their faith in their music, like the pioneers of Christian Hip Hop like Lecrae and Guvna B did. But in recent years, artists beyond the Christian Hip Hop world have been releasing ‘gospel' filled music like Kanye West and Stormzy, blurring the lines between religious and secular music. Swarzy wants to know if that's having an impact on the music Christian artists make, and if they feel pressure to dilute explicit faith messages in their songs to reach a wider audience. Is the label ‘Christian rapper' too restrictive for artists who want their music to go further than the church? To find out more, Swarzy meets Still Shadey and Jo Joey, young Christian rappers making popular drill music with a religious message; Deyah and Happi who've moved beyond the ‘Christian' artist label, and Limoblaze the artist behind viral TikTok hit Jireh, to hear what it's like producing music with a Christian message, and how receptive the music industry is to the growing trend of faith filled music.

Rap is changing. High profile UK artists such as Stormzy and Dave are shunning the genre's dominant tropes of hypermasculinity and aggression. Instead they're putting their battles with mental illness at the forefront of their music. From North America, Drake, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar are proving it's ok - and commercially viable - to be vulnerable. References to mental health in rap lyrics have more than doubled in the last two decades. With black men the demographic most likely to suffer from mental illness – and also the least likely to seek help – the MOBO Award-winning rapper, author and broadcaster Guvna B assesses the extent to which rap now actively tackles this epidemic. For Guvna B, this is deeply personal. When his Dad passed away a few years ago, he sank into a depression and subsequently suffered a mental breakdown. Looking back now on his childhood and upbringing, with the help of his lifelong best friend Joe, he reflects on possible causes of his breakdown and on the progress he's made through writing so openly and honestly. Mike Silvera from the charity Mind explains why black men are affected disproportionately by mental health issues.
