Poetry, as Percy Bysshe Shelley once said, lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.And so, off we go, to try and defamiliarise the things which stare us in the face every blummin' day. Relationships. Words. Coffee. Social Media. Prejudice. Siblings. Aging. Home. Industrial Estates. Nature. Sex. Love. Yep. We're off to a poetry night, aren't we? To find out what they're all about. Who goes to them. What the poetry is like, and whether it's something every writer should have a go at.Poetry Jam in Durham to be precise. Wish us luck! Here's Kate Fox's lovely new book:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sycamore-Gap-2024-celebration-those/dp/0008735611 Here's organiser Steve Urwin:@urwin_steve on X.http://steveurwintalkingpen.blogspot.com/ And here are the guest poets: Rach Lydon.

Tlumené světlo pohlcené neomítnutými cihlovými stěnami bývalé tiskárny, verše vyplňujících ticho místnosti a improvizovaná hudba dotvářející atmosféru předneseného. Tak vypadá Poetry jam – performativní poezie propojující autorské básně s hudbou, která vzniká tady a teď. Střediskem tohoto žánru se v Polsku pomalu stává Lublin, respektive zdejší Dům slov, kam láká stále více účinkujících i posluchačů.

Here we are in the last week of 2023! Before entering into a new year, there are some things we should rid ourselves of in order to receive what God has for us in 2024.

For many people, their first thoughts each day are everything they need to get done on their to-do list. However, when considering our to-do lists, is Jesus prioritized in our schedules? This week we are reminded that Jesus should always be our priority. Our hope is that this episode helps you recognize Jesus as #1 before entering the new year.

As we wrap up 2023, there are some things worth examining before the new year. This week we are challenged with self-reflection. Romans 12:1–2 helps us understand the standard of holiness that the Lord is pleased with as we grow into our newly evolved selves through Christ Jesus. In 2024, our #1 goal should be becoming a living sacrifice for the Lord.

In this 2-part episode series, we break down this quote from my Spiritual Formation course curriculum: "...we must remember that spiritual gifts are not given for the purpose of providing a sense of personal satisfaction or achievement...Spiritual gifts are given for the common good, for building up the Body of Christ." Let's have a conversation about spiritual and how they can be misused or misperceived.

“In 2009, when he was twenty years old, Joshua Bennett was invited to perform a spoken word poem for Barack and Michelle Obama, at the same White House "Poetry Jam" where Lin-Manuel Miranda declaimed the opening bars of a work-in-progress that would soon revolutionize American theater. That meeting is but one among many in the trajectory of Bennett's young life, as he rode the cresting wave of spoken word through the 2010s.” In his newest book Spoken Word: A Cultural History (March 28, 2023), Bennett unpacks the roots of spoken word poetry, the Black Arts movement, and the prominence of poetry and song in Black education. He joins Tavis to discuss.
We've all experienced praying hard for something, but not getting it. Better yet, many if not all of us have experienced suffering that made us question God's character. We probably felt like God let us down. Nevertheless, we still choose to follow Him. Why?

Is God's will for your life now messed up because you fell short or made a mistake?

In John 17, Jesus prayed to the Father, requesting He help all Christians to be one as They are one. The Church is meant to be united in love and truth, and be a testament of the gospel to the world. However, many of the issues we bear inside our communities hinder this from happening. It's time we search our own hearts.

The Christian walk is not easy. It is filled with spiritual warfare, trials and tribulations, and sacrifices. If you are anything like me, you've sometimes found yourself growing envious of unbelievers who don't deal with the convictions and sacrifices you deal with on a daily basis.

I see that a lot of us can get caught up trying to make ourselves holy for God's approval. Many of us are tortured by the pressure of trying to sanctify ourselves, as if we ever had the power to.

As sinners saved by Grace, we ought to be ever mindful of God's love and abundant grace towards for us despite our deficiencies. However, in our humanness, we oftentimes tend to quickly forget about extending that same grace to each others. Let's discuss how we can fix this.

Phil 4:13 is one of the most famous verses in the Bible. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Is this a verse meant to rally us about defeating foes and trampling over obstacles?

Galatians 6:1 instructs us to restore our brethren who've been overtaken by sin with a spirit of gentleness. However, it seems a lot of Christian critique tend to come from a place of resentment and pride. In this episode, we all need to look inwardly and ask ourselves the question: When we are correcting our brothers and sisters in the Lord, are we doing so with the intent to restore them or shame them?

In 2023, there are too many false teachers and doctrines to keep track of. Nowadays it's not enough that someone disagrees with the Bible, but people even go as far to misconstrue its contents to justify their world views. Today we set a few things straight. Additionally, I want to talk about homosexuality and homophobia. It's a past due conversation on this podcast. This is a huge topic in our generation, so I pray you're able to listen with an open heart and ears. Let's open the Bible and get to work.
