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.

Phyllis Tickle (1934-2015) was a force of nature. She was a poet, author, publisher, teacher, professor, and so much more. She was one of the leading experts on the church in America, and her Divine Hours books introduced a generation of Christians to fixed hour prayer. And in the mid-2000s, she became a leading ally for and advocate of the Emerging Church Movement. She seemed the unlikeliest emergent – a lay Anglican in her late 60s, hanging around with a bunch of disgruntled GenX evangelical pastors – but by the time her book, The Great Emergence, came out, she had established herself as a leading voice in the movement. And there can be no doubt that her stature earned the movement great credibility in the eyes of many who would have otherwise been dubious. Phyllis spent the final decade of her life preaching emergence, and in this episode, we examine her legacy. Guests include Jon Sweeney, Brian McLaren, Nadia Bolz-Weber and Diana Butler Bass.

1. Toward the beginning of his sermon, Tim “Oak of Righteousness” Suttle talked about our tendency to disengage from reality by moving into either cynicism or sentimentality. Using two Oscar Wilde quotes to help clarify, he defined a cynic as someone “who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing,” and a sentimentalist as someone who wants to “have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it.” Which of these two ditches do you most lean toward? Are there certain situations in which your tendency changes? In sharing about your answer, feel free to share examples of times in which you've seen yourself veer into one space or the other. Tim suggested that, if we can avoid the appeals of both cynicism and sentimentality, we can find a middle road, on which we see both the wind of God at work *and* the pain of the world around us. He named this orientation as one of hope. How accessible does a stance of hope feel for you? In what ways does it feel more natural? In what ways do you feel more resistance? Why do you think that is? 2. Tim also used Phyllis Tickle's idea of a “great rummage sale of wisdom” occurring every 500 years, pointing out that these big perennial shifts and evolutions in thought often result in some sort of split within the church at large. How does it feel to think of your “normal life” existing in the context of one of these enormous milestone eras? Is that an easy idea for you connect with, or does it take some considering and evaluating? How does it feel to conceive of your world and all of us living - right now - as being in the middle of an evolution of epic proportions? Scary? Exciting? Put some feeling words to your own internal responses. 3. Tim put forth the idea that, in our time, God is “reaching into the center of Christianity” and pushing down with his finger to make a “new gravitational center.” He talked about this new gravitational center's way of pulling us across boundaries and making irrelevant divisions that used to separate us. He talked about how this can pull us toward each other and toward God, and, with that, out of all the divisions, fighting, & chaos that we've known. He also talked about reasons why some might resist this new gravitational pull: In this paradigm, there's no place for delineating who is in and who is out. There's not easy access to control. Winning and affluence aren't the hallmarks of God's hand at work. For some, these shifts might be uncomfortable and unappealing. What about for you? It might be easy to name the appeals of a cultural shift that puts a greater emphasis on Jesus's way of life, long-standing church tradition, contemplative prayer, self-sacrificing love, a rejection of violence, and people of different religious traditions joining together in common purpose. But what are the aspects of this new vision for now that might stir up resistance in you? You may not be super motivated by dividing people into “in” and “out,” or the splash of prosperity promised by some. But a gravity that pulls us toward the things emphasized above also asks new things of us. What might you be asked to give up that you'd rather hold? What might you be asked to step into that you'd rather not approach? Put some thought about the possible “down sides” of the kingdom view Tim called to mind. (Because, if there were none, we'd all be doing it already). Share and discuss with the group.

Disciple Up #290 Christian Baby Boomers Want Change Too By Louie Marsh, 1-12-2023   Here's some excerpts from the article I read and commented on in this podcast…   https://broward.us/2023/01/04/christian-boomers-like-me-want-change-too/   Christian Boomers Like Me Want Change Too Some of us are working to change the unhealthy evangelical church culture we helped create. MICHELLE VAN LOON | JANUARY 4, 2023   In the last couple of decades, American Christian boomers (myself included) have been given an advance peek at the kind of obituary the church and the world has already begun to write about us.   Not all these critiques are made in good faith—whether they're from political scientists, sociologists, op-ed writers, exvangelicals, or from the generations born before and after us—but a surprising majority of them are.   For example, CT's Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast details the leadership failure and organizational implosion of the church franchise led by Mark Driscoll. And while Driscoll himself was a Gen X pastor, Mars Hill was nourished in the soil cultivated by boomer megachurch leader culture.   In a CT piece earlier this year, “The Church Is Losing Its Gray Heads,” Adam MacInnis offered a snapshot of many boomers who've exited the church building, even though “just under half of Christians over 40 who stop attending church feel they're still practicing their faith.” Like some members of the younger generations, many boomers still love Jesus, but not the local churches they once attended.   The late Phyllis Tickle famously observed that the church engages in a kind of spiritual rummage sale that every 500 years or so—and in these times of “rearrangement and upheaval,” the “institutionalized church throws off things that are restricting its growth,” which allows a “more vital form of Christianity” to arise in the aftermath.   Michael Metzger of the Clapham Institute summed it up well: “To date, our legacy as Baby Boomers is indulgence, narcissism, and moralism. If we are to emerge as wise elders, our view of faith, fame and forever ought to migrate from Boomer biases to a more biblical Christianity.”   For one, Boomers played an outsized role in encouraging greater authenticity in the church.   We learned from our culture in the 1960s to let it all hang out. As that messaging filtered through the church in subsequent decades, it became more acceptable to share our struggles and questions in Christian community.   The unwritten rule of the churches I attended back then was that it was only acceptable to talk about your struggles if they happened before you were a Christian. SNL star Dana Carvey's Church Lady character may have exaggerated church life for comic effect during the 1980s, but too many congregations back then seemed to encourage a religious facade.   Secondly, boomers have helped lead the movement toward both destigmatization and education of mental health issues in many evangelical streams.   There's still much work to be done in how the church embraces mental health issues, but it has certainly come a long way over the past few decades.   Third, many boomers have joined, and in some cases are leading, the effort to create safe communities for those who have experienced church abuse.   Christian social media can be a cesspool of conspiracy theory, bullying, and wacky theological hot takes. But it has also been an essential connection point for survivors of abusive leaders or toxic congregations.   In The Four Loves, C. S. Lewis said that “the typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, ‘What? You too? I thought I was the only one.'” Social media has created powerful fellowship as survivors discover they aren't the only ones—and this has brought them together to drag into the light what has festered in the dark corners of the church.   Finally, many boomers are exhibiting a growing distaste for evangelical leader culture.   Perhaps the boom bubble in churches built around the pastor-as-CEO or spiritual Ted Talk gurus hasn't quite burst, but it seems to be deflating—and few seem interested in reviving it.   While mostly anecdotal, I hear regularly from boomers who have been burned or are burned out from their nondenominational megachurches. Many are seeking simpler, more organic forms of gathering with other believers for worship and fellowship—or they're finding their way into churches with formal liturgy and denominational structures.   And while we boomers of faith won't be around to see how things unfold in the larger movement, we can spend the time we have left rewriting our own obituary.   This rewriting begins with the kind of unflinching humility prescribed in James 4:7–10—wherein we humbly submit ourselves to God and trust that he will uphold us. Only this heart posture will allow us to own our specific sins while recognizing the impact our generation's proclivities have had on those who come after us.   Michelle Van Loon is the author of seven books, including Becoming Sage: Cultivating Meaning, Purpose, and Spirituality in Midlife.

Today's meditation comes from The Gospel Of Matthew in The New Testament and from the writings of Phyllis Tickle, with music by Acreage.

Key Conversation Points: The ordinary moments anchor us and connect us across neighborhoods, states, countries and oceans....even for Lisa-Jo's friend in Ukraine. Lisa-Jo graciously reminds us that acts of extraordinary courage are getting up and advocating for our kids, sick spouse or family abroad or taking time to serve at church or sharing our platforms with someone.  It all is courageous in the middle of hard times when all we really want to do is stay in bed. The rhythms of anticipation can feel like Christmas, even as we feel stuck in the end of winter. What is engraved in Lisa Jo's bag that anchors her in such a powerful way right now?

What does pressure mean for you? Jim and Steve discuss their own journeys with pressure and nerves, as well as the potential for healing through those around us.

What are your habits of faith? What comes to mind when I say that? Do you have faith habits that ground you and keep you centered on God, even when the going gets tough? This episode, we are going to get into the benefits of faith habits, why they are important to our Christian faith, and how they can actually be the key to others entering the faith! Jen answers questions like... There are some who do not want their faith to become "religious" or routine. Even then, why do we want to make faith a habit? Is there a particular heart posture we need to make our faith more than a mere habit but a continual, life-giving spiritual experience? In the book, you include the faith habit of scripture. What other habits of faith do you consider to be the most vital to our Christian experience?

Welcome to episode 95, the countdown to episode 100 is on!  Can you believe we are only 5 episodes away from 100! In this episode, I will be talking about the Convergence Movement and have as my guests Father Kevin Daugherty and Father Michaelangelo D’Arrigo. The Reverend Father Kevin Daugherty is a priest and an Elder and Secretary-Treasurer within the Convergent Christian Communion. The Reverend Canon Michaelangelo D'Arrigo is a Priest and an Elder in the Convergent Christian Communion, and Canon to their Presiding Bishop. Links: Convergent Streams: The Premier ISM Magazine. Resources on the Convergent Movement. Recommended Books on the Convergent Movement: "Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why," by Phyllis Tickle. "Becoming Orthodox: A Journey to the Ancient Christian Faith," by Peter Gillquist. "Evangelical, Sacramental, and Pentecostal: Why the Church should be all three," by Gordon T. Smith. "Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail: Why Evangelicals are Attracted to the Liturgical Church," by Robert Webber. This podcast is hosted by Bishop David Oliver Kling and produced by the Community of Saint George (a Young Rite jurisdiction).

Reflecting on Jeremiah 31:31-34 & John 12:20-33 this sermon uses Phyllis Tickle's Book "The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why" as a source of inspiration. These texts are often Reformation texts. Tickle observes that every 500 years something significant happens in the church. 500 years ago was the 16th Century Reformations; we find ourselves due for another one. How can we understand the changing reality facing Christianity, and COVID-19, as yet one more evolution in our faith and practice of following Jesus? Listen to wrestle with that topic. 

On episode eighteen I'm talking with my friend Donnell Wyche. This conversation was a lot of fun and we talked about many important topics, including Liberation Theology (and why African American theologians have been overlooked), ethnic diversity in the Church, Critical Race Theory, and much, much more! About Donnell: The Reverend Donnell Wyche currently serves as Senior Pastor and Head of Staff at the Vineyard Church of Ann Arbor where he has served for 21 years. Passionate about the intersections of race, faith, politics, and technology, Pastor Donnell is a member of the racial equity team for the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's office and the co-coordinator of the Washtenaw Faith Leaders Forum. Pastor Donnell has advocated for peace and justice as the president of the board of the InterFaith Council for Peace and Justice (ICPJ) and has pursued issues of affordable, fair, and accessible housing as a board member of the Religious Action of Affordable Housing (RAAH).

Theme: The Call to the Practice of Prayer I first encountered Phyllis Tickle as the founding editor of the Religion Department for Publishers Weekly, and I've longed to speak with her ever since. Phyllis is a true authority on religion in America. She is the author of more than three dozen books, but perhaps best known for The Divine Hours series on fixed-hour prayer. We talk about how Christian fixed-hour prayer relates to the call in Islam to pray five times a day, if the call to prayer is universal or unique to particular traditions, and how she prays as a lay Eucharistic minister and lector in the Episcopal Church.

Phyllis Tickle was at Fuller Seminary for a talk about her new book "The Age of the Spirit". She then came over to (a)Spire to have a pint with us. This was no ordinary pint! Tripp brewed 'The Grain Emergence: a 500 year rummage ale'.   We do some Q & R with Phyllis - then Barry Taylor chats with her. Then we played "Au Contraire Mon Frère II" with Tripp and Tony.  Round 3 will be in Chicago at the Progressive Youth Ministry Conference later this month. This is a rough-cut edit. That means that a couple of swear words made it through the filter ... and that some things removed for public conception.  We want to thank Andy and his team plus all those who helped to make this event happen and to those who came out and made this an amazing night. PS Claire also brought some amazing home brew.  That was tasty. We also want to wish Phyllis a Happy 80th Birthday!!

Phyllis Tickle founded Publishers Weekly's Religion Department and has written numerous books about modern American Christianity, including "The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why." Phyllis begins our conversation by describing 500-year social, cultural, and religious cycles in parts of the world influenced by Abrahamic faiths. Building upon that, she asserts that our current historical moment lies at the edge of two such cycles. The upshot of this is a breakdown in traditional understandings of authority and a period of chaotic exploration. Emergence Christianity, like other emergent faiths, is developing as a response to this period of transition. Though religion has been a regular theme in the background of The Conversation, this is our first episode dedicated entirely to it. As a result, we introduce a lot of new themes and you will hear fewer explicit connections to earlier episodes. Having said that, there are some interesting ties between Emergence Christianity and the income gap which harken back to Chuck Collins, Francione-like questions of purity versus pragmatism, and more Tim Cannon and Max More-style transhumanism than you'd ever expect.

Deacons I am thrilled to let you all in to a live HBC house-show & yard party with your favorite British PoMo theological and cultural super star Barry Taylor (check him on the podcast, with Peter Rollins on the Apostle Paul and at Theology After Google). The show is almost an hour and a half of interactive theology, inappropriate religious jokes, guitar strumming, Pop Culture commentary, & curse word Bingo (Barry will explain…I hear lay people at his church invented it).  If you can't imagine course language and thick sarcasm being use for something fruitful then please don't listen.  Pete Rollins may have his Pyro-theology but we got Profane Theology.  This was recorded September 30, 2011. We discuss Scot McKnight's King Jesus Gospel, Peter Rollins, Mark Driscoll's Thug Jesus excitement, reality TV (and Christianity), Phyllis Tickle, Mel Gibson's love of the Jewish people, the Passion of the Christ, Rob Bell, Love Wins, Rick Warren, Shane Hipps, techno-noise, AC/DC, the Star Wars religion, changing religious data, skulls, and trash art. Dr. Barry Taylor is the Associate Rector at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills, California. He also teaches theology and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he is the Artist-in-Residence for the Brehm Center, and he teaches advertising and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, topics that were part of his theological doctoral study program. He writes and plays music, usually with friends, occasionally for money – his songs have shown up in a few movies, and he has composed a couple of soundtracks for largely over-looked films. He has written a few books: A Matrix of Meaning with Craig Detweiler, A Heretic's Guide to Eternity, with Spencer Burke, as well as his latest, Entertainment Theology.
