Podcasts about travelling

it's what you do in that place that will... Feeling a little lost and wondering where "home" is, husband and wife Brian and Liz are back to take you along on a walking podcast, and this time, they've landed in a three-month rental just outside Bath. In this deeply personal conversation, Liz shares why the view of an ancient church from her window is helping her write the book on grief she was always meant to write, and Brian opens up about the simple things that make him happy. This is for anyone who has ever felt a little lost, is redefining "home" after a loss, or is simply wondering how to find pockets of light and purpose right where they are. We hope you enjoy this raw, real, and uplifting walk through the beautiful English countryside with us (and sorry in advance for needing a loo break and also the marriage spats as we go on our merry way...how embarrassing...??!!)

The long-awaited MetroLink line, which will finally connect Dublin Airport to the city by rail, has been approved by An Coimisiún Pleanála, three years after planning permission was sought.The 18.8km rail line, expected to cost more than €10 billion, was first proposed a quarter of a century ago and is anticipated to begin operations in the mid-2030s.Travelling mostly underground, the remote-controlled, driverless trains will run every three minutes from Swords in north Dublin to Charlemont close to Ranelagh in south Dublin. The route will have 16 stops serving areas including Dublin Airport, Ballymun, Glasnevin, Phibsborough and the city centre.A trip from Swords to the city centre is expected to take about 25 minutes, while journeys from the airport to the city will take about 20 minutes.But what happens if there is a judicial challenge to the planning permission? And what if “unknown, unknown” issues arise and the bill doubles as has been imagined? And when will the first passengers hop on board?Irish Times Dublin editor Olivia Kelly explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast.

My guest for this episode is author Raphael Cormack, who joined me to talk about his new non-fiction book, Holy Men of the Electromagnetic Age. The book explores what it describes as a ‘golden age of the uncanny' centered around the Eastern Mediterranean in the years following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.  This was a time when Clairvoyants, fakirs, mind-readers, miracle-workers and jinn-summoners enthralled people and audiences with the idea that unseen spiritual powers commanded a realm of hidden human potential. The story Raphael tells focuses on the lives of two such characters in particular; Tahra Bey, who took 1920s Paris by storm as a self-styled Fakir with remarkable displays of bodily endurance and mind reading ; and Doctor Dahesh, who combined a similar skill set with techniques from Spiritualism into something which would eventually evolve into a pan-religious faith in Lebanon. Travelling between Cairo, New York and Jerusalem, Paris, Istanbul and Rio de Janeiro, these two mystics reflected the desires and anxieties of a troubled age, beginning in the aftermath of World War One and extending into World War Two and more recent conflicts in the Middle East. In the interview I talk a bit with Raphael about his background, and how the idea for the book came about. From there our conversation loosely follows the structure of the book itself, first talking about Tahra Bey, and then Doctor Dahesh. It is a conversation more about a time in recent occult history, represented in microcosm by these two men, rather than an exploration of their purported abilities but it still provides a fascinating insight into a world that is quite recent, but mostly forgotten today.

After hitting 10 stops over three months, Alberta's travelling roadshow of participative democracy is wrapping up. Telus just turned a Québec fishing hub into one of Canada's AI hotspots.

Join writer and researcher Madeline Potter for a deeply personal and timely conversation about her acclaimed book The Roma, a powerful portrait of Europe's Romani communities, past and present. Blending memoir, reportage, and historical investigation, Potter sheds new light on a people too often excluded from mainstream narratives. From artists and boxers to survivors of persecution and injustice, The Roma uncovers extraordinary lives, and challenges the stereotypes and prejudices that continue to shape public perception. Drawing on her own experiences as a Romani woman, Potter offers a moving exploration of identity, resilience, and the importance of visibility.

The content discusses the profound spiritual growth that can be achieved through connecting with nature, as highlighted by Peepal Baba. It emphasizes the importance of solitude in nature for personal reflection, the lessons learned from the environment, and the value of activities like reading, gardening, and traveling. The conversation critiques the role of religion and technology in society, suggesting that they can be mechanisms of control rather than sources of enlightenment. Ultimately, it advocates for a deeper connection with nature to foster happiness and fulfillment.About the GuestPeepal Baba or Swami Prem Parivartan is an environmentalist who along with his team has planted over 20 million trees in 202 districts across 18 states in India. He was born to a doctor of Indian Army on 26 January 1966 in Chandigarh, India. His English teacher inspired him at the age of 11 to plant trees in 1977.Highlights

Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, un western spaghetti pas vraiment spaghetti vu quʹil est le fait dʹun réalisateur américain, jʹai nommé Quentin Tarantino. Mais lʹhomme est amoureux des westerns à lʹitalienne, un genre particulier, quʹil remet au goût du jour en 2012 avec Django Unchained. Un western cinéphile qui multiplie les références au genre, où la violence sʹinscrit en lettres de sang sur toutes les images, où lʹhumour déferle, où lʹon parle de vengeance, de chasse à lʹhomme, mais surtout dʹesclavage à lʹaube de la guerre civile américaine. Lʹhistoire est celle dʹun chasseur de prime allemand, le Docteur King Schultz, qui sʹassocie à un esclave afro-américain, Django, le temps dʹun hiver, lʹaffranchit, devient son ami, et tous deux se mettent ensuite en quête de la femme de Django, achetée par un propriétaire dʹune plantation dans le Mississipi. Quentin Tarantino reste fidèle à ses principes cinématographiques, stylisant lʹultra-violence, jouant des codes, multipliant les références, sʹamusant à glisser ici et là des anachronismes, le tout pour pouvoir regarder en face un pan terrible de lʹhistoire de lʹAmérique. Django Unchained dénonce le principe de lʹesclavage et le racisme. Toute les formes de barbarisme y passent dans un maelström talentueux où lʹinhumanité et la bêtise sont dénoncées. Avec la vengeance comme moteur, cette espèce de road-movie western-spaghetti est une formidable catharsis, porté par des acteurs de talent, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio notamment. Django Unchained est récompensé de deux Oscars, celui du meilleur scénario original pour Quentin Tarantino et celui du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle pour Christoph Waltz. A sortie, le film rencontre un énorme succès public. Mais certains, comme le réalisateur Spike Lee, dénonce le traitement de lʹesclavage sous forme dʹun western spaghetti, dʹautres jugent choquant et offensant lʹutilisation du terme nigger, nègre, qui revient tout le temps dans le film et certains conservateurs parlent de sectarisme anti-blanc. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Aujourdʹhui, dans Travelling, cʹest Django Unchained qui déchaine les propos. Nous avons des archives, des anecdotes, des extraits et évidemment la BO du film. On ne passe pas à côté dʹun BO dʹun Tarantino. Il ne nous reste plus que le Dr. Schultz délivre Django et nous pouvons commencer.   REFERENCES : Guillaume Labrude, Lʹœuvre de Quentin Tarantino, du cinéphile au cinéaste, Third éditions, 2021 Quentin Tarantino chez Shawn Edwards on BlackTree TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI8zbx-yNVA Quentin Tarantino chez Charlie Rose https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi54pAqkKqJ3VsFnVs_9T3mrwIG3-v-0u Meet The Press https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1QpScB-HJg Les Oscars, Christoph Waltz en 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWdn7pFmtdQ Série esclavage et cinéma https://memoire-esclavage.org/django-unchained

I make no bones about it – I'm a bit of an Apple yuppy. I was hooked at a critical time. Travelling across the US as a one-man tv-news-making band, I often found myself in seat 32B on a cut-price red-eye flight, totally dependent on a laptop with sufficient grunt to edit HD video for hours at a time, and sufficient durability so that when it got knocked about in the overhead locker, the casing would remain in one piece. And the way these companies work is that the moment you rely on them for one thing, they get their claws out and squeeze you ever closer. I went from being a MacBook user, to an iPhone user, to an iPad user, to an AirPod user, to an iCloud subscriber, too. I'm more or less trapped within the system now. Locked into paying Apple every month until I leave this mortal world. But finally, I think I'm drawing the line. Apple has just released its latest Apple Watch and finally caught up to much of the smart device competition by giving users a daily sleep score. The idea is that you wear your watch to bed. It measures your heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, temperature, and your movement. It records what time you go down, the number of disturbances you have, your various sleep cycles, and how much time you ultimately spend between the sheets. And then, 1-100, it gives you a score. Of course, you can be smart scored on all manner of things in life, these days. You can get a smart toothbrush that'll connect to an app on your phone and give you personalised feedback on your brushing technique. Breezed over a lower molar too quickly? That'll affect your score. You can get a smart razor that'll do the same thing. Pushed a bit hard on a tricky chin dimple? Stiff cheese. That'll affect your score. You can buy a smart water bottle that'll score your hydration. You can be scored on your light exposure and your posture. Apparently if you're really curious, there's even a market in devices that'll score individual sexual wellbeing. Just maybe don't Google them at work. But to me, at least, there's a fundamental contradiction at the heart of the sleep score concept. If I'm having a bad night's sleep, few things are guaranteed to make it worse than knowing I'm being assessed. I'd get anxious. I'd stress out, toss and turn, flip my pillow back and forth. And for what? Just to read a number in the morning that tells me what I already know. I don't need a smart watch or a special ring to know I've had a bad night's sleep. I know because I feel bad. So I should've gone to bed earlier or shouldn't have had that late afternoon coffee? I should've turned off those other screens and devices earlier? Thank you, but instead of looking up a score I'll look in the mirror instead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elias Makos is joined by Sue Smith is a Montreal journalist and broadcaster, and Neil Drabkin, is a lawyer who served as federal prosecutor and a political commentator who was a chief of staff in the Harper government. The CEO of Groupe Dynamite says he is considering moving his businesses to the United States amid concerns that Quebec’s rigid immigration policies pose a huge risk to his operations. Are Quebec politics moving to the right - at least economically? The word of the moment as the National Assembly gears up for its next session appears to be “efficiency” - with almost all the parties talking about it. The sun is setting on the second Valerie Plante/Projet Montreal term in office, but that hasn’t stopped the party from spending on what some are calling frivolous travel.

In this episode, Dr Radin returns to the show to talk to us about his amazing new book, The Science of Magic. We look at Meta-analyses with trillion-to-one odds. Hotel poltergeists that target specific researchers. Spoons that bend without force. Sigils. Always, always sigils. Radin explains why materialist skeptics have run out of arguments, how belief literally structures the universe, and why your unconscious mind might be doing magic right now. If you liked Real Magic, this one takes the conversation even further. The dominant of wider inclusions has surely arrived. Show Notes Pre-order the new book Dr Radin's website

We recorded this week's marriage diary podcast on location under the famous Sycamore Tree in Bampton, the real village of Downton Abbey. But it was harder than we thought. Downton Abbey has become our family's anchor, so when we found ourselves in the UK close to the location where many of the show's outdoor scenes were filmed, we packed our microphones and set off to record a podcast. While we were talking about why this show has become a lifeline for both our marriage and our family, a coachload of tourists turned up. I've never felt so awkward and self-conscious in my life. But Brian refused to stop filming. So you will hear my awkwardness in all its glory... After a year of loss and leaving our home in New Zealand, Liz and Brian, husband and wife, have been living out of suitcases, feeling nomadic and uncertain. In this very raw episode, we talk about how binge-watching Downton Abbey has given our family a surprising sense of routine, safety, and connection as we travel the world and heal after loss. We also open up about the expat's identity crisis, what it's like to not know where "home" is, and pushing through the fear of being seen when you're grieving. This is one of our most authentic and vulnerable conversations yet, and we hope you enjoy it. Thank you for joining us, you are what make this happen. Our hearts Liz and Brian xx Kia Kaha.

Clare LCSP Co-Ordinator Ashlene Reyburn says they want as diverse a field of participants as possible.

Working as a professional musician means long journeys between gigs, sleeping in different beds, setting up on new stages, and partying with other creative folk. Although substance use among musicians happens, and might even be stereotypical, we found a more interesting and insightful story. Desiree Dorion's band finds that cannabis plays well with their lifestyle and hits all the positive notes. We learn how each band member consumes cannabis in their own way. Some share a reefer back stage with famous people, while others chew a gummy in the hotel room to assist with a getting a better sleep.

September has arrived and it's Labour Day with Laura Bain. Laura is wrapping up school and starting a new job and she's back on Outlook to tell us all about travel, transitions, and changes she's made since she was last on air with us. Speaking of schooling, Laura has been on an academic journey in psychology and social work, having just completed a Masters in Social Work, taking her own time to get here and we're talking making education work for people with all sorts of needs, part-time as Bain did it: “being able to engage more fully with the material,” with ablest views on course load and full-time vs part time program participation in a rigid system. We're asking for accommodations; there's no shame in this. Laura tells us about how she navigated through her schooling and then through unfamiliar cities as a traveler. We talk about the differences between travel with others, a sighted partner for example, vs independent travel, interdependence in this or group trips, tackling new surroundings solo with Bain's trips to New York for the No Barriers Summit. Or whether it's in France or England most recently: things like being less than bilingual in a non English speaking country, using technology to get around, and the total mental drain it can take to access all our sensory skills when traveling alone. Things like needing time to rest in the hotel and moving away from such a frantic tourist experience as most take on and for which we're encouraged to join in on in this fast paced world. So whether it's in schooling or in travel, doing things on our own schedule is going against the grain of go go go. We hear about Laura's experience doing London half on her own and then half with accessible tour group Seeable Holidays where the guides are trained but sighted people join the group and are there to assist those who are blind. Brother co-host Brian learned about local greeter organisations, specifically London Greeters and the guide Laura had who knew Brian and had been impacted by Brian's earlier advocating for himself, which prompted this local guide to access some blindness awareness training. It's a small world after all as the song goes. So with the summer coming to an end, Laura is back at it and telling us about the jobs she's had recently which include working once more for Accessible Media Inc. and then working locally for her municipal government, Halifax Regional Municipality Office of Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator Accessibility Community Outreach and Research, a long title for a seemingly sweet job with government but she shares a bit about being on a probational basis and finding it difficult, though in the diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (DEIA) spaces, she wasn't getting that direct community engagement she prefers to have. So we finish off, with a new school year ahead for many and for Laura Bain it means taking on a new role at the CNIB as a program coordinator, dealing directly with the community by, for example, coordinating a camp for the community of kids and families. She took the leap from government job, not quite the right fit for her at this time, and what she's doing on contract until next March and we hope to have her back with us to discuss more on where she's headed next. We at Outlook appreciate our friends, like Laura Bain, joining us in community as it truly is a small world after all and we look forward to getting Bain's own tour of Halifax, her city, very soon with the privilege of access to travel making us better, more well rounded people.

Cʹest un film pas tout à fait comme les autres qui nous permet dʹévoquer un cinéaste pas tout à fait comme les autres. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! est un film américain de Russ Meyer, sorti en 1965. Russ Meyer vous le connaissez peut-être, cʹest le chantre de la sexploitation, un vrai cinéaste indépendant qui développe une esthétique particulière, très colorée, érotique, avec des contre-plongées magnifiques. Lʹhomme montre un amour certain pour les actrices à très forte poitrine et pour les décolletés dans lesquels on peut se perdre. Russ Meyer est considéré comme un auteur majeur du cinéma de série B à tendance X. Il a influencé de nombreux réalisateurs et artistes, que ce soit Andy Warhol ou John Waters. Quentin Tarantino est même son fan numéro 1. Russ Meyer est connu pour ses films Vixen, Supervixens, Up et Beneath The Valley of the Utlra-Vixens mais également pour Faster, Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill ! qui raconte lʹhistoire de trois femmes sauvages, dans trois voitures de sport, qui, avec violence, férocité, et sensualité, vont braquer un homme infirme et ses deux fils dans leur ranch, tout en ayant kidnappé et drogué la petite amie dʹun homme qui a eu le malheur de croiser leur chemin. Mettant en scène des actrices sulfureuses, dont la très iconique Tura Satana, le film séduit un public tant masculin que féminin. Car pour la première fois, à lʹécran, ce sont des femmes très fortes, véritables Virago, qui sont montrées, capables de plaquer au sol, de briser des vertèbres, de gagner au bras de fer, et qui sont fières de leur sexualité quʹelles exhibent comme une arme. Et ça plaît. Tant aux misogynes quʹaux féministes. Les féministes américaines en font, à lʹépoque, leur film étendard. Vous vous ferez votre propre opinion. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, nous allons parler de Russ Meyer, de Tura Satana, de Faster Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill. Nous parlons de films érotiques, sensuels. Vous verrez que Russ Meyer est souvent volontairement provocateur dans les archives. Mais tout va bien se passer. Enfin jʹespère. Puisque nous allons croiser la route de trois femmes, de trois furies, et le monde du cinéma changera radicalement.

The sermon explores Jacob's journey toward confronting his brother Esau, highlighting the interplay of faith and fear within a flawed individual. Drawing from Genesis 32, it emphasizes God's provision and encouragement through the appearance of angelic hosts, reminding Jacob—and the listener—of divine promises and unwavering presence. The narrative underscores the importance of prayer and humble dependence on God amidst challenging circumstances, acknowledging the ongoing struggle between trust and human schemes, ultimately affirming that God's grace and faithfulness remain constant, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty. 1.

In this episode, I chat with Cary Lowe and Trish Butler about the complexities of travelling with a mobility impairment like multiple sclerosis. The conversation centres around a new book released by Cary, entitled “On Two Legs and Three Wheels” in which he shares some of the global travel adventures he and his wife Trish, who is a wheelchair user, have had over the years. During the chat, Cary and Trish discuss some of the most common challenges faced by travellers who are wheelchair users, ways in which the hospitality industry could make their services and venues more inclusive to all, and address the topic of travel for an ageing population. They also share a few of their wealth of travel stories, both positive and negative, to illustrate their insights. Here's where you can find Cary's book: https://tinyurl.com/3zj4r77m Learn more about Cary at: https://carylowewriter.com/ Image description: The cover of the book On Two Legs and Three Wheels, by Cary D Lowe.

Tsvety Roo is a digital nomad and solo traveller on a mission to explore loneliness, self-discovery, and what it truly means to connect in today's fast-paced world.Her journey began when she made the bold decision to leave a successful career at a NYC agency, embrace minimalism, and step into life as a nomad. For the past two years, Tsvety has lived without a permanent home, travelling through 22 countries and visiting 37, uncovering how solo travel can lead not only to deeper connections with others but also to a more meaningful relationship with oneself.Through raw honesty and lived experience, she shares how she broke free from isolation, embraced fear instead of waiting for it to disappear, and discovered the surprising power of meaningful connections with strangers. Along the way, she learned to slow down, stay longer in each destination, and even create “mini communities” that offered a sense of belonging.What makes Tsvety's story compelling isn't just the places she's been, but the profound inner transformation she's undergone. Solo travel taught her to distinguish between loneliness and solitude, redefine what “home” means, and adapt with resilience when plans went awry. Travelling minimally—with just what she truly needs—became not only practical but liberating.Her story is an invitation to step outside your comfort zone and discover how choosing the unfamiliar can transform not only the way you travel, but the way you live.Let's enjoy Tsvety's story. To connect with her: https://www.tsvetyroo.com/Send BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate: Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!

Ep 185 w/ Matt Dennis On Travelling With A Disability: Breaking Barriers, Accessible Travel + MindsetIn this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Matt Dennis — a travel writer, journalist, and accessibility advocate — to discuss his inspiring journey of travelling with a disability and how mindset can transform the way we see the world.Matt, also known as The Empowered Traveller, has been featured in publications like Metro, The Independent, Evening Standard, and Adventure.com. His work shines a light on accessible travel and how small changes in infrastructure, awareness, and attitude can open up destinations for millions of travellers worldwide.We dive into Matt's story of becoming disabled at 18, navigating life with a paralysed leg, and discovering the confidence and freedom that comes through travel. From interrailing across Europe with crutches and a backpack to advocating for accessibility at global tourism expos, Matt shows that travel is not just possible with a disability — it can be empowering and life-changing.Throughout the episode, Matt shares insights into the realities of accessible travel, including which destinations are leading the way and which still have a long way to go. We explore countries such as Canada, France, Albania, and India, and discuss how accessibility isn't just about wheelchair ramps — it's about inclusive design, public transportation, adapted activities, and, most importantly, mindset.This conversation also highlights why accessible tourism matters for everyone. With ageing populations and an increasing number of people living with mobility challenges, accessibility benefits not only disabled travellers but also seniors, families, and anyone who wants easier, more inclusive travel experiences.Whether you are a disabled traveller looking for tips, an industry professional seeking to understand the importance of accessibility, or simply curious about how to make travel more inclusive, this episode will open your eyes to the possibilities.We discuss:Matt's first major adventures travelling with crutches and a backpack across EuropeThe mental side of disability and how mindset influences what's possibleThe challenges and triumphs of accessibility in destinations around the worldWhy countries that embrace accessibility benefit travellers of all abilitiesHow accessible travel opens doors not just for disabled travellers, but for everyoneWhether you're a traveller with a disability, know someone who is, or want better to understand the importance of accessibility in global travel, this conversation will leave you inspired.Matt DennisWebsite - https://www.empoweredtraveller.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpoweredTraveller-hh6vo

A Sermon for the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity St. Luke 10:23-37 & Hosea 6:1-11 by William Klock “A lawyer got up and put Jesus on the spot,” writes St. Luke in today's Gospel.  If you're following along, this is Luke 10:25.  “A lawyer got up and put Jesus on the spot.”  An expert on torah.  If you had a question about whether or not to do such-and-such or how you were to do this or not do that and it wasn't spelled out in black and white in the Bible, this was the guy you asked.  He knew how to parse it and extrapolate it all out.  And he's angry.  He's been hanging out on the edge of the crowd as Jesus addressed his disciples, but enough is enough.  He pushes forward.  He's going to put Jesus on the spot and expose him for the fraud he is.  And so he calls out, “Teacher,” and he gets Jesus' attention.  And then he asks, “What should I do to inherit the life of the age to come.”  I can imagine him leaning back on his heels, arms crossed.  Jesus is going to hang himself with his answer and everyone's going to walk away and never listen to Jesus again. But we before we get to Jesus' answer, we need to ask what the lawyer was actually asking.  “What must I do to inherit…zoen aionion?”  Zoe aionios to say it in Greek.  Zoe means “life” and we've traditionally translated aionios as “eternal”.  That's not wrong, but “eternal” doesn't fully capture the significance of aionios as it was used by Judeans of Jesus' day.  In English “eternal” just means “eternal”…“forever”.  And we think the lawyer is asking, “What must I do to live forever?”  For a lot of people that translates into “What must I do to go to heaven when I die?”  But it's really a lot deeper than that.  At the root of this word aionios is the word—and it might sound a little familiar—aion.  It's where we get our word “aeon” and it's basic meaning is “age” and it became shorthand for “the age to come”—meaning the messianic age everyone was hoping and longing for. And the lawyer asks this question about the age to come, because he's been listening to Jesus address his disciples as they returned from the mission he'd sent them on.  He sent out seventy to proclaim the good news—to gospel the gospel in the cities and towns of Israel and they came back excited because of the things they'd seen.  At the name of Jesus, even demons obeyed them.  And Jesus said to them: This is what the prophets foretold.  Isaiah and Ezekiel told of their visions of the satan falling like lightening and you're seeing it happen.  God's kingdom is breaking in.  God's light is driving away the darkness and toppling the rulers of the present evil age—and you're part of it.  And this is where he says to them, “Don't rejoice that spirits are subject to you, but rejoice [about what it means:] that your names are written in heaven.” God's got a book—metaphorically speaking—and in it he records the names of everyone who belongs to him, of everyone whom he will one day resurrect from death and lead into the age to come.  The Jews knew their names were written in that book.  God had chosen them and so long as they didn't wilfully reject him—which is what the tax collectors and sinners did—their names were written in that book and, when the Messiah came, he would set the world to rights and lead them into the age to come. But what's got this lawyer worked up is that Jesus is implying that they may not all have their names written in the book after all.  The lawyer—like pretty much everyone in Israel—knew his name was written in the book because God had made a covenant with them and because they kept their end of the covenant—the torah.  Circumcision, sabbath, diet, all these things marked them out and demonstrated their commitment and love for God.  But Jesus has just said to his disciples, “A blessing on the eyes which see what you see!  Let me tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, and they didn't see it; and to hear what you hear, and they didn't hear it!”  In other words, the renewal of Israel that God had promised through the prophets had come—in Jesus—and being written in God's book is about more than just being born a Jew or even the outward observance of torah.  And it's that last bit that Jesus is getting at in his answer.  Look at verse 26.  Jesus responds to the lawyer's question and asks, “Well, what is written in the law?  What's your interpretation of it?” And the lawyer gives the answer that every kid in Judaea could have given: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your understanding; and your neighbour as yourself.” And Jesus replied—I'm sure to the frustration of the lawyer—“Well said!  Do that and you will live.”  Picture the lawyer gritting his teeth.  No, no, no.  If that's true, then we're all on the same page!  But he knew they weren't, because if Jesus' disciples were “in”, then everyone else was, by implication, “out”.  So, Luke writes, “to justify himself” the lawyer asks Jesus, “But who is my neighbour?”  It's his second attempt at a gotcha question.  And Jesus responds with a story, a parable: “Once upon a time,” he said, “a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and was set upon by robbers.  They stripped him and beat him and ran off leaving him half-dead.” Everybody knew that road.  Very soon Jesus would be travelling it himself, going the other direction, up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover—and to become the new Passover himself.  That road was steep and windy and notorious for the robbers hiding in wait for unwary travellers.  The wise travelled in groups or well-armed.  Travelling it alone, like this man did, was foolish.  This lawyer, listening to Jesus, would be shaking his head and thinking to himself that anyone dumb enough to travel that road alone was a candidate for a Darwin Award. But Jesus goes on.  “A priest happened to be going down that road, and when he saw him he went past on the opposite side.'”  Now, you and I shake our heads and think, “What a horrible priest!  How could he not stop to help the man.”  But we only think that way because we've been shaped by the gospel and by Jesus and the Spirit.  The cross of Jesus has taught us mercy.  That God would not only humble himself, but would shed his blood on behalf of his rebellious children has taught us mercy in a way never understood before the gospel.  But that lawyer—and the crowd and maybe even Jesus' disciples—they lived in the dark world on the other side of the good news of the cross.  They saw nothing wrong with this priest passing by the man.  The priests kept themselves ritually pure.  They had to in order to enter the temple.  Even though this priest is going in the opposite direction—probably on his way home from serving his rotation in the temple—he still kept himself pure.  He couldn't tell if the man was dead or alive and if went over, rolled him over, and found him dead, well, then he'd be impure.  That was okay for normal people, but not for a priest.  And everyone knew this.  And, again, no one had a problem with it.  And, of course, this is the very problem with Israel that Jesus wants to highlight for the lawyer. “Then,” said Jesus, “a Levite came by the place.  He saw him too and went past on the opposite side.”  He might not be a priest, but being a Levite, he too served in the temple.  Again, he's going the opposite way—like the priest, he's probably on his way home from serving in the temple.  But, still, being a Levite, he can't chance becoming impure.  And, again, this was all normal and good and right as far as most people were concerned. “But then,” said Jesus, “a travelling Samaritan came to where he was.”  Everyone frowned at this.  Samaritans were filth.  They were descendants of the Jews who intermarried with the native Canaanite peoples when the people of Judah were in exile.  They worshiped at their own illicit temple at Shechem and they compromised torah with pagan practises and pagan philosophy.  They were traitors of the worst kind.  Just being on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho meant he was fouling the promised land with his impure Samaritan feet.  And yet, Jesus said, “He came over to the man and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine.  Then he put him on his own beast, took him to an inn, and looked after him.  The next morning, as he was going on his way, he gave the inn-keeper two dinars. ‘Take care of him,' he said, ‘and on my way back I'll pay you whatever else you need to spend on him.'” “Where's Jesus going with this?”  Everyone was thinking.  “What's his point?”  There's no way this would happen in real life.  But that's kind of the point.  Jesus looks the lawyer in the eye and asks, “Which of these three do you think turned out to be the neighbour of the man who was set upon by the brigands?”  Jesus is going make the lawyer come out and say it.  And the lawyer does, because there's no escape for him.  “The one who showed mercy on him,” he said. “Well,” Jesus said to him, “you go and do the same.” I fully expect that as the lawyer answered the question and said, “The one who showed him…mercy.”  The lights suddenly went on for him for everyone else.  That word “mercy” is the key.  Jesus had just turned Hosea 6:1-11 into a parable.  Here's what the Lord had said through the Prophet Hosea some eight centuries before: Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.” What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud,          like the dew that goes early away. Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light. For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,          the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. But like Adam they transgressed the covenant;          there they dealt faithlessly with me. Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood. As robbers lie in wait for a man,          so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem;          they commit villainy. In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's whoredom is there; Israel is defiled. For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, When I restore the fortunes of my people. This the Lord's rebuke of the northern kingdom of Israel—also known as “Samaria”.  Hint, hint.  There's a reason Jesus puts a Samaritan at the centre of the story.  The people of Israel went through the motions of obedience, but the Lord accused them.  Their love for him was “like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.”  Their nation was a nation of evil-doers with blood on their hands.  They offered their sacrifices, but there was no love in their hearts.  The priests were lying in wait for their people like robbers. Again, this was a rebuke of Israel eight hundred years before, but now Jesus brings the same rebuke to Judah.  And yet, there's still the promise.  The long-awaited age to come is breaking in.  As the Lord promised through Hosea, he will come to heal his people, to bind up their wounds, to revive them after two days, and to raise them up on the third day.  But whom will he heal and revive and raise up?  The lawyer gave the answer “The one who showed his neighbour mercy.” There was no mercy in the heart of the priest and no mercy in the heart of the Levite—and there was no mercy in the hearts of the people of Judah who saw nothing wrong with the priest and the Levite leaving the man to die.  For that matter there was no mercy in the hearts of people who saw the Samaritans as unredeemable, reprobate scum.  And that was the heart of the problem.  And this heart problem was precisely what Jesus came to fix.  Because the only people who will have a share in the age to come—in the kingdom of God—are the people who have the heart of God.  The people who are poor in spirit, who mourn the state of the world, the meek, the people who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the pure in heart, the peacemakers—and the merciful. This is why I think it's so important to pay attention to how we translate those words in the lawyer's question—zoe aionios.  Because it's not just “eternal life” Jesus offers; it's eternal life in the age to come—in God's world set to rights and eternal life in his presence.  Brothers and Sisters, “salvation” isn't just fire insurance.  It's not just rescue from death so that we can live forever, so that we can see our loved ones again, so that we can experience bliss forever and ever.  That's all a very self-centred, a very worldly, a very therapeutic understanding of salvation.  What Jesus offers us is the life we were meant for, the life we see Adam and Eve living in the garden at the very beginning of the story, a life of perfect fellowship with God, a life serving as the priests of his temple, a life stewarding his heart for the sake of the world. And ever since he called Abraham, but especially since he rescued Israel and made them his people, God's purpose for his people has been to reveal himself to the nations through them so that the world might know his goodness, his faithfulness, his love, his mercy, his grace—and on and on.  God's purpose for his people has always been to make his heart known to the nations.  Our lives and our collective life together is meant to lift the veil on God's future, on his new creation.  It's not about us or about our glory; it's about God and it's about God's glory. When he delivered Israel from Egypt, God came down and dwelt in their midst.  He fellowshipped with them.  It wasn't the perfect fellowship of the garden that Adam and Even had known, but it was a fellowship that made know his desire for humanity and a fellowship that pointed forward to the day when, through Jesus, he delivered us from sin—and even further to that day when sin (and death) are gone forever.  He gave Israel a law that set her apart and that taught her his heart so that they would know justice and mercy, love and grace, and put his heart on display for the world.  Theirs was to be a little microcosm of his new creation—however imperfectly—where reconciling love was on full display. Israel failed.  They kept the law outwardly, but they lost the heart of God.  They offered sacrifices, but their was no mercy in their hearts.  But in Jesus and the Spirit the renewal that the Lord had promised has come.  In forgiving our sins, Jesus has taught us the true depth of God's lovingkindess, of his grace and his faithfulness.  And in the Spirit he's turned our hearts of stone into hearts of flesh.  He's written his law of love on them so that we really can love him with all of our being and so that we really can love our neighbours as ourselves. But I don't think we reflect often enough on why God's done that—in part because we too often think of salvation in selfish, or at least self-centred, terms.  Our salvation is not an end in itself.  God has called and created a people to witness his heart to the world.  Brothers and Sisters, in us God is leading a redeemed people—a people he's already beginning to set right through the work of his indwelling Spirit—he's leading us to bring hope and good news to the nations.  He's using us to carry the good news about Jesus, crucified, risen, and Lord, to every part of the world and with it the kingdom, with it the message of new creation, with it the hope of a world set to rights, in which Jesus has finished once and for all the work he began when he died and rose again.  In the witness of Jesus and the power of the Spirit he's given us his heart.  And that's what it's all about: bearing witness to his heart.  And the people who do that, they're the ones who will one day know him eternally in the age to come. I like to think of it like a symphony.  Jesus and the Spirit have made us the players.  We each have our instrument and we look forward to the day when we all come together in the great concert hall to play our parts in harmony and to finally hear that glorious and beautiful piece of music under the hand of the divine conductor.  It's not about us.  It's about the music and the one who leads us in it.  But in the meantime, he's given us the sheet music for our parts and he's sent us home to practise.  And we have the privilege of being able to meet in our little sections to practise some of those parts together.  And in our practising we get a foretaste of the great symphony to come.  But, Brothers and Sisters, do we actually practise?  Are we investing our practise time in the fruit of the Spirit?  Are we practising the reconciling love of God that we've known in Jesus?  Are we practising the justice and mercy we've met in God?  And along the way, are we drawing in the nations as they hear the beauty that's present even in our little bits and pieces of the symphony?  Or are we wasting the time God has given us on sin?  Instead of practising the gospel life, are we investing in the fear and wrath and scrambling and grasping of the present evil age? Like Gilead, the world around us is filled with evil and tracked with blood.  It's always been that way, but it seems we see it getting closer and closer to home.  We've seen worsening in the last months and weeks and days in the US and there's no reason to think we're somehow safe in Canada.  Because this is what happens to a people without the gospel—and to a people who have lost the gospel.  And Brothers and Sisters, the worse it gets, the more the world needs the heart of God that Jesus and the Spirit have given us.  The more the world needs God's promise to heal and to bind up our wounds.  The world needs Jesus and the gospel and you and I are the stewards of that good news.  Don't be tempted to jump into the violent fray.  Don't throw gas on the fire.  Instead, be the wine and the oil that God has made us to anoint the world's wounds.  Show the world what godly justice and godly mercy are and minister the healing power of the gospel—of the good news that Jesus the Messiah has died for us, that he has risen for us, and that he is creation's true Lord. Let's pray: Almighty and merciful God, by whose gift alone your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

This week, husband and wife, Brian and Liz, share their recent married life podcast shenanigans. Recently returned from their two-month summer in Greece, they have been in their beloved birthplace, Blighty, for 48 hours and have somehow managed to get ripped off. Twice. Not that Liz is bitter.

On this episode of RAW, we discuss recognizing and resolving conflicts while travelling, whether it's with someone you started the trip with or someone you meet along the way and decide to ride with. Common sources of conflict include differing riding styles, daily routines, decision-making, or budget mismatches. The panel talks about how to communicate effectively on the road, ways to compromise, when to take space, and how to reset after tension or disagreement.Listen to the episodes on ARR featuring two riders who faced issues while travelling from Atlanta to Alaska together. They ended up parting ways and didn't remain friends. Each appeared on the show in separate episodes to share their side of the story. Abandoned on the DaltonAbandoned - The Other Side of the Story
