In this weeks episode, the pastors discuss the following:*Please note this episode deals with the topic of sexual assault and abuse. Please take care while listening**1. 1:45 into episode Further to your discussion on the man v. bear question, Kyle at one point said that when these discussions come out often the "good" guys end up shying away from the discussion for fear of being caught up in it. However, I would propose that is part of the issue. The "good" guys need to step into the discussion and prove that they're still out there. As the quote goes, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” The Bible itself says "Rescue the perishing; don't hesitate to step in and help. If you say, “Hey, that's none of my business,” will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know— Someone not impressed with weak excuses." (Proverbs 24: 11-12 MSG). I would question why "good" men are afraid of being caught up, though no one is perfect, if you're not part of the problem shouldn't you be part of the solution? Too many men sit back and watch while their friends and acquaintances make rude and demeaning comments about women (or other men) and don't step in and do anything - if men can't stand up to the people around them for the comments they're making then how "good" are they really? I'm not suggesting men (or anyone) needs to engage in the social media discussions but this matter is so prevalent in day-to-day real life, if your eyes are open to it. I think the larger problem here is that many men aren't willing to be inconvenienced by stepping in to conflict by calling out improper behaviour in the other men they are in relationship with, be that sexual or otherwise. There is an epidemic of men who are not rising to their potential or becoming the men that God has called them to be, in part because those God has placed in their lives aren't willing to call them on their unhealthy, lazy, destructive behaviours. I apologize that this ended up to turning into a bit of a rant but if I were to end it in a question, my question would be – how do we better encourage the “good” men to step into the fullness of life God has for them and get them to be the “protectors” they were created to be? Most of us no longer live in a society that requires men to physically protect from the wilderness and elements anymore but they can protect many with their words and character and stop allowing other men to perpetuate their “bad” behaviours. 2. 16:32 into episode In episode 343 Kyle talked about the men becoming apathetic to the issues facing women or feeling like they can't win even if they are “good guys”. I think it's worth noting that this is how women have felt for years, and that while not all men are “bad guys” statistically speaking women are more at risk with men they know, are related to, or in relationships with. I believe it's worth reflecting that those you deem as good men have the same risk factors, and we need to support women who have been impacted by the behaviour of men and those deemed “safe men”. Just because you yourself would never fathom doing something violent to a women, doesn't mean the majority of your male peers are the same, even if you think you know them well.3. 30:48 into episode May 8 - What is/are your must read book/books?Blakes picks: - The Patient Ferment of the Early Church- What if Jesus was serious?-Holy Fire - Canoeing the Mountains - My sheep have ears -Letters by a modern Mystic Doug's Picks:- Everybody Always-Bruchko-The Beast That Crouches at the Door-Traveling Light - The Blue Parakeet -When Everything's on Fire Kyle's Picks:-The Patient Ferment of the Early Church-The Blue Parakeet-Practice Resurrection -Desiring the Kingdom- Cross Vision - A Burning in my Bones

In our final podcast of our Easter Practice Resurrection Series, Intern Rita talks about how artwork and creativity can connect us with the promises of the Resurrection. As a special treat, Rita brings her mother, Linda Argus, onto the program to discuss this important connection.
In this special extra episode of our Easter Practice Resurrection Series, Intern Rita talks with Colleen Maki, about the show Madam Secretary and the ethical questions it raises. This is a show that Colleen recently began re-watching and reflecting on from a faith perspective. Colleen and Rita share a great conversation about these themes and the ways that reflecting on ethical questions is a way of practicing resurrection.
In this episode, Scott talks about moving to a new town and joining a new church and all the opportunities this provides for him to practice letting go. In order to make room for new life, we have first to be willing to let go of the old.
Title: Practice ResurrectionText: Colossians 3:12-17Pastor: Thomas Kuhn
SEAN DELBECCARO, Pastor of Community and Formation / Second Sunday of Easter / Acts 2.14a, 22-32
In this post-Easter show focussing on concrete ways we can practice resurrection, Scott Stoner talks about how rising above our smaller selves is a choice we can make to put our spiritual beliefs into action. For example, when someone says or does something hurtful to us, we have a choice of how we wish to respond. We can react and hurt them back or rise above our initial hurt and seek to create a greater good. This is not easy, but no one said that practicing resurrection is easy!
On this Easter Sunday, we take a look at the way Jesus's resurrection impacts how we live in the days that follow Easter.
Recorded live at Arlington Street Church, Sunday, April 9, 2023.
(Easter Sunday 2023) Phil focused on why the resurrection of Jesus is the most plausible explanation for the presence and prominence of love in so many spheres of the world today. Phil also spoke to the present power of the resurrection to mobilize believers towards good deeds.
Resurrection is real. Jesus is alive and present. Two thousand years later...sometimes we struggle to really live like it. To live with that sense of expectancy, like He really is with us. Not just some religious teacher or figurehead...but here, now, resurrected and real, present and speaking. Practicing resurrection means we practice making decisions believing Jesus really goes before us. Everywhere we go, looking for Him because we believe He is at work and that we will see Him.
Every day is Ascension Day. In Acts 16 we see that the story of Jesus was drawing the attention of all kinds of people. The gospel transcended racial, economic, and religious differences. Jesus was worthy enough for Lydia; strong enough for the slave girl; forgiving enough for jailer. Could he have what you need? Notes: "Ascension" image - Photo by Nheyob, Saint James the Greater Catholic Church (Concord, North Carolina), courtesy Wikimedia Commons. “[In the story of the church] Ascension is the opening scene that establishes the context for everything that follows: Jesus installed in a position of absolute rule: Christ our King. All men and women live under the rule of Jesus. This rule trumps all other thrones and principalities and powers.” – Eugene Peterson, Practice Resurrection, 43.
