Podcasts about Social club

L'épisode (gratuit) de Yves Citton (#238) est un épisode essentiel pour tous ceux qui sentent que quelque chose cloche mais qui n'arrivent pas à mettre le doigt dessus !

Matthew 28:16-20Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him, but they doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. We are party deprived. That's the argument Ellen Cushing makes in a wonderful little article in The Atlantic earlier this year. On any given weekend or holiday, only 4% of Americans hosted or attended a social event. Polling shows most people like the idea of parties, but nobody wants to host them. Maybe that sounds familiar.None of this should surprise us. More than any other time in modern history, adults spend less time with friends and more time alone—and we're strangely okay with it. In fact, we often prefer it. Confined to our couches, transfixed by our phones, feeding on the stories our screens serve us. Simply put: we need more parties.And yes, that's part of my response to today's question: is the church a mission center or a social club? This is the second-to-last week of our Asking for a Friend series. And we have covered lots of big topics. But today the question is both what should the church with a capital C—the universal body of Christ across all time and space—be, but also the lowercase c church: Cross of Grace. What are we? A mission center or a social club?Someone was looking at the list of questions a couple weeks ago and began laughing out loud. Oh no, I thought, we made a typo. But then they turned to me and said “who's preaching on the 14th?”. I lied and said I don't know because depending on why they laughed I might have changed it. But this person said well because it'll be the easiest answer of them all. I said “why is that?” and they said because the answer is yes!It is both a mission center and a social club. I'm sure many of you think so, too. But if I had to guess, most would say the church needs to be a mission center:the place that equips, educates, empowers, and then sends out not just people but disciples to share the gospel in word and deed. That's what Jesus commands in the Great Commission: Go, baptize, make disciples.Here at Cross of Grace, that language is familiar. Nearly 25 years ago, when we were just getting started in the school and knocking on doors, we called ourselves a mission center—even without a building. It's also why we call ourselves Partners in Mission, not members. Members join to consume. Think wellness center, country club, or book club. But partners engage to participate. And this mission of sharing the grace of Jesus Christ, with no strings attached, depends on your participation.It just so happens that church is also a social club. And sometimes we feel guilty about that—like fellowship is less important than mission, or just a by-product of “real” church work. But here's the problem: too often we treat mission and worship like consumers. We show up, get what we think we need, and leave. That makes faith transactional—something we “use” to make ourselves better.So maybe the real question is: should mission always come first, and fellowship second? I don't think so. I don't think that's what the Bible shows us, either. Which is why today I want to come to the defense of church as a social club, because fellowship is not secondary. It's essential.Keep in mind, when we talk about church as a mission center or social club, we're talking in metaphors. And metaphors are helpful—they give us new ways of seeing something familiar. But no single metaphor ever tells the whole story. Take the old saying that the church is a “hospital for sinners.” It sounds good, but if we lean on it too hard, church becomes just a place you visit when you're sick, get patched up, and leave until the next problem. Every metaphor has limits. Whether we call the church a hospital, a mission center, a social club, or one of the thousand other metaphors we use. At best, they point us toward the deeper truth: the church is a community of flawed people, gathered by God, given the gift of grace in Jesus Christ.This gift of grace doesn't just forgive us; it transforms us. It places us in relationship with God, and that changes who we are. As Isaiah says, we become a light that reveals the source of our gift, a lens that offers a new way of seeing the world. We become liberators for those held down by oppression. That is what Jesus did, and that becomes our mission too—not because we have to, but because we can't help but share what we ourselves have received.But that kind of work is never easy. It is hard, long, dangerous, and exhausting. Which is why the grace of God doesn't just send us out—it also gathers us in. It gives us each other. Because if we're going to live into this mission for any length of time, we will need fellowship.That's exactly what we see in Acts. After hearing Peter proclaim the grace of Jesus, the people were moved. But notice what they did next: they didn't scatter to form food pantries or community centers. Instead, they devoted themselves to eating and praying together. In just five verses, Acts gives us five reminders of the early church's desire simply to be with one another. Fellowship wasn't an afterthought, and it didn't come after mission. The two rose up together, side by side, as the Spirit's gift to the church.To me, the bigger miracle of Pentecost wasn't that people suddenly spoke in languages they had never learned. The real miracle was that people actually wanted to be with one another. Can you imagine such a thing in the year of our Lord 2025? Fellowship be damned—we'd rather be alone. Or maybe the deeper truth is we don't really know how to be together anymore. And that's exactly why I want to defend the Church—this church—as a social club for this moment in time. Because if we don't know how to be together, then practicing fellowship is the mission. At a time when political violence is rising, when fear of our neighbors is the default, when anxiety and loneliness feel normal—and we're largely okay with that—the work the church is called to right now is fellowship itself.And if you think that's not biblical, Jesus should did spend a lot of time eating and drinking with people… so much so that he was known as a glutton and a drunk. And the people weren't just his disciples, but those who were different from him in every imaginable way.Maybe if we spent more time together, if we ate and drank more together, if we learned how to talk and listen to one another, if we began to see the image of God in each person, we wouldn't feel the need to tear each other apart over political disagreements. I know that's an over simplification, but I also believe it's true. What's really happening at our social gatherings—brew club, Mardi Gras, Oktoberfest, moms' night, or anything else—is that the grace of Jesus Christ is shaping us. It's teaching us to be a people who want to be together.This desire is not soft sentimentality. It's the work of the Spirit: forming in us a determination to care for our neighbors and seek their good, even when they are different, indifferent, or opposed to us. Grace gives us the desire—and the courage—to be in the company of one another. And when we do, we begin to see the face of God in every person, whether a Partner in Mission, a neighbor, a friend, a Democrat, a Republican, a president, pundit, and more.The Church is constantly reforming how we meet the needs of our neighbors and the world around us. Right now that looks like more parties and more fellowship—especially with people who don't look, act, think, believe, or behave like us. Yet, what never changes is what we offer. The church, this church, always offers the grace of Jesus, with no strings attached. We offer it at the font, at the table, through the resources we share, and yes, through the fellowship that binds us together in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dans cet épisode, je t'invite à plonger dans l'univers de Cédric Pollet, un botaniste-photographe pas comme les autres, qui nous révèle les arbres comme tu ne les as probablement jamais vus.Il existe de nombreux photographes de nature, de forêts, d'arbres… mais Cédric est le premier à avoir consacré tout son travail à un sujet unique : les écorces.Quels arbres ont les plus belles écorces ? À quoi servent-elles ? Qu'ont-elles à nous apprendre sur la vie des arbres… et sur le fonctionnement même du vivant sur Terre ?Depuis 25 ans, Cédric explore ce territoire de textures, de formes et de couleurs. Je t'ouvre la porte, dans cet épisode, à son univers botanique fantastique.Les écorces, nous en croisons tous les jours, et pourtant elles restent un sujet peu étudié par les scientifiques. Nous sommes à l'aube de découvertes passionnantes, et Cédric nous explique pourquoi.Son credo est simple et puissant : quand on aime quelque chose, on le protège. Avec ses photographies, il veut que notre regard change, que la beauté des arbres nous touche… pour que nous les aimions davantage, et que nous ayons envie de les défendre.De l'« écorce à bisous », aux écorces qui concentrent toutes les couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel, en passant par la redécouverte de savoir-faire anciens comme le tissage d'écorces de tilleul… cet épisode est une promenade pleine de merveilles inattendues.Très belle écoute—Les dates des prochaines expositions de Cédric : https://cedric-pollet.com/fr/exposLe lien pour découvrir ses livres : https://cedric-pollet.com/fr/livres

Une interview sensass pour découvrir ce qu'on ignore et que pourtant nous devons savoir pour faire les bons choix pour nous, notre santé et le vivant.Je ne connaissais pas Nathalie Gontard pas avant de lire votre livre qui a radicalement changé ma vision des choses.Avant j'avais une idée du plastique surtout autour du "matériau" plastique et en lisant son livre j'ai compris que ce qui était dangereux était en réalité celui qui est partout invisible dans nos vies : en micro et nano particules dans l'air de nos intérieurs, dans les peintures, colles, traitements anti feu, anti tache, anti....vie ! Qu'il se déguise aussi en faux bois, fausse pierre, faux marbre, fausse laine, faux papier.... bref qu'il s'est enkysté partout et que quoi qu'il arrive on est en interaction avec lui en permanence.Il est dans l'air, dans l'eau, dans les sols mais aussi dans notre corps. Vous connaissez peut être ce chiffre rappelant que nous ingérons l'équivalent d'une carte bleu par semaine de plastique.Nous voilà donc tous concernés et notamment celles et ceux qui prescrivent et choisissent pour nous, utilisateurs, les matériaux des endroits dans lesquels nous nous divertissons et où nous partageons avec nos amis et nos proches (hôtels, restaurants, cafés, cinémas, théâtres, opéras....)Cet épisode est au coeur de mes réflexions autour de la cosmopolitesse. Il est diffusé aujourd'hui, en 2025, car je ressens que nous sommes prêts à entendre ces révélations sans s'écrouler car nous avons déjà été pas mal informés ces dernières années.2025 est l'année où l'audace se met au diapason du beau cosmpoli !

Rodger Deevers knows he’s a lucky man. He’s a financial advisor in Eugene with all his basic needs met — and then some. But two years ago, after he and his wife took a vacation to the island of Curaçao off the Venezuelan coast, he wanted to bring some of the sense of community and vibrant public art back to the Eugene-Springfield area — and contribute to area nonprofits.    He says he didn’t know quite how to begin, so he just started with an idea for one mural, at nonprofit NextStep Recycling, and decided to see if people were interested in helping him paint it. Dozens of people showed up — and the nonprofit was thrilled to have a mural on a space that would otherwise have remained unadorned. Deevers calls the project Lucky Enough Social Club, and now has a system of sorts, and volunteers who show up to paint. But he does most of the legwork, outreach and designing of the mural, in collaboration with whatever nonprofit is getting painted.  He says he’s seen the transformative power of creativity in the people who show up to volunteer, and calling attention to mental health and suicide prevention is one of the biggest motivations driving him. We hear more from Deevers about the creation of the club and how he hopes to see it grow in the future.

Step behind the velvet ropes and welcome to the VC Social Club: an intimate gathering of vinyl record collectors discussing vinyl and music topics of the day (smoking jacket is optional). The regular panel consists of host Jason Roxas, Chris (The Grooveseeker), Dom (Seekingathread), and Joel (Static ATX Records). This particular conversation kicks off discussing personal listening habits - how/where/when we listen to the music we have on vinyl - before the immortal John Bong joins the proceedings (16:04)  Soon followed by another guest (Concert Buddie) (37:00) fresh off covering the looming Buckingham/Nicks reissue onslaught, the conversation dovetails into a deep dive into fast food chains and their old record labels. Did you know that KFC made records AND original extra crispy chicken? Or Cracker Barrel serves LP's and meatloaf and dumplings? It's true, it's true, it's cholesterol frenzy true.  The conversation moves to a brief study on Julie Andrews, and whether she was secretly a member of the Jugalos, before attempting to get back to the last topic of the show - artists that no longer matter. Some of the names and bands will shock you (or shake your fist to the sky).  Welcome to the VC Social Club. Have a seat, drinks will be served soon.

On today's episode, we chat with Christine Myers and Kristen Palladino, co-founders of Locals Social Club—a kids' apparel brand born from a casual idea on a girls' weekend that turned into a nationwide, grassroots success. With no background in retail, they taught themselves everything from design to sales—all while working full-time jobs and raising kids.We talk about what it really looks like to bootstrap a product-based business, how they stayed scrappy (and sane) while scaling, and the power of leaning into community, not perfection. From micro-influencers to wholesale dreams, this conversation is full of tactical tips and honest reflections from two women redefining what "building a brand" looks like on your own terms.

After seven long years, DT!HQ finally landed at home in Columbus for a LIVE episode! The kind folks from ANIMATE! Columbus invited us to perform our humble podcast in their Social Club. Well we kicked down the door of that Social Club to ask the daring question: which IRL job would make the best subject matter for a JRPG? Andrew is talking about consultants and it's going to make you sad. Todd is talking about tech support and it's going to make you a different kind of sad. Kyle was there with us in spirit, but spirits don't exist in live podcasts. Recommended reading: You can find the PowerPoint at the following link.
