Parish renewal is the buzzword of the moment—and with it comes an overwhelming array of resources and ministries. So how do you cut through the noise to find what will truly help your parish move forward? In today's episode, I talk with Susan Windley-Daoust, author of The Four Ways Forward: Becoming an Apostolic Parish in a Post-Christian World (https://www.osvcatholicbookstore.com/the-four-ways-forward-becoming-an-apostolic-parish-in-a-post-christian-world.html). Susan encourages us to focus on renewal models that prioritize: * Radical hospitality * Small group discipleship * Mission refocus * Signs and wonders Look for resources that align with these key principles and have a proven track record. Engage your parish leadership team in discernment, and don't be afraid to start small—what matters most is finding what genuinely supports your parish's growth in missionary identity.

What made C.S. Lewis such a compelling thinker and writer? In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer is joined by Dr. Jeffrey Barbeau, professor of theology at Wheaton College and author of The Last Romantic: C.S. Lewis, English Literature, and Modern Theology.

In this thought-provoking discussion, Cameron and Nathan dive into the pressing question, "What do Christians actually do?" They explore how modern Christianity has evolved in a culture that is increasingly post-Christian, addressing the growing ignorance of biblical truths and the decline of core Christian practices such as prayer, Bible reading, and church attendance. With a focus on how Christians can live out their faith in a society that prioritizes autonomy and casual hedonism, this conversation offers deep theological insights and reflections on how the Christian way of life stands in contrast to the prevailing cultural norms. Ideal for those seeking to engage with current events through a theological lens, this video challenges believers to reflect on the real-world implications of their faith.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

In this episode, Lucas Burton shares his journey into evangelism, shaped by mentorship, theological reflection, and hands-on experience. He emphasizes the power of genuine spiritual conversations and the warmth of human connection in sharing the gospel. Lucas and Matt discuss the mission of Message Canada, the evolving spiritual climate in Canada, and innovative approaches to reaching younger generations. This conversation challenges common misconceptions about evangelism and highlights the importance of equipping local churches to foster meaningful faith conversations.

After earning his M.Div from McMaster Divinity College in 2017, he served in campus ministry, cross-cultural missions, and pastoral leadership.

This is due in part to the fact that “Babel” and “Babylon” happen to be the same word in Hebrew.

On this episode, we are joined by Elizabeth Oldfield to discuss her newly-released book Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times. After beginning her career covering religion for the BBC, Elizabeth for a decade ran a London-based think tank called Theos, which seeks to stimulate the debate about the place of religion in society, challenging and changing ideas through research, commentary and events. Under her leadership, its staff increased tenfold—and still supports podcast she hosts today, "The Sacred." Joining Elizabeth is Damir Marusic, a resident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council's Europe Center and an editor at The Washington Post. Along with Shadi Hamid, a longtime friend and advisor to Faith Angle, Damir co-founded the podcast "Wisdom of Crowds." Damir writes extensively on US politics, polarization, US foreign policy, and European affairs. Bringing a non-religious vantage point, he highlights with Elizabeth key themes in Fully Alive and the two get right into it, not mincing words even when there are differing views of sin, grace, evil, and the possibilities for human community.   Guests Elizabeth Oldfield Damir Marusic   Additional Resources Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times, by Elizabeth Oldfield "The Sacred" Podcast, with Elizabeth Oldfield, a Theos Think Tank podcast  Fully Alive Substack, with Elizabeth Oldfield Wisdom of Crowds Podcast and Substack, with Damir Marusic and Shadi Hamid

How do we build communities of collaboration and care? Are our communities in the West in crisis? What are the “common objects of love” that we share, and how do we—average Christians who care—seek those out and build on them?We were delighted to talk with Jake Meador on some of these questions, which he touches on in his first book, In Search of the Common Good.

Published: January 29, 2023 An increasingly post-Christian world is forcing parishes to re-envision how they “make disciples of all nations” (Mt 28:19). Jim Friend speaks with Susan Windley-Daoust, theologian and director of missionary discipleship for the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in southern Minnesota, who provides a roadmap to pastors and parish staff to make sense of it all through her new book, The Four Ways Forward, Becoming an Apostolic Parish in a Post-Christian World. The book describes how Pastors and lay leadership must pivot to building up mission-first parishes equipped to proclaim the Gospel to those who have not heard it — all while the numbers of practicing Catholics fall with increasing speed.
