Help internally displaced people in Africa!Disasters and conflicts have led to a record number of over 75 million internally displaced people, or IDPs, around the world. IDPs are people who have been forced to flee their homes but have not crossed international borders. Almost half of all IDPs - more than the population of Australia and New Zealand combined - are in sub-Saharan Africa. Most of the displaced have left everything behind: their homes, belongings, and livelihoods. They urgently need food, shelter, clothing, and trauma counselling. So Anglican Aid has launched a Forced to Flee Emergency Appeal to provide essential aid to IDPs in Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond. This aid will be distributed by local churches, who are sacrificially providing for the needs of the displaced, and pointing them to the God who is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

With All Due Respect is a term that many use mainly when they feel they need to correct someone or a situation . We can give the phrase a twist by moving and functioning with respect, as then we should only expect respect in return. The only thing due to anyone is respect, therefore we should all have a mentality to owe no one anything but love and respect.

In the final episode for this season, Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit are talking comedy. Their big question: does God have a sense of humour?

In this episode, Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen are talking about Christian Nationalism. Nationalism promotes the distinctiveness of the people of a nation. Christian nationalism goes one step further, defining a nation by its faith, and maintaining it should be protected by the state, enshrined in its laws, and actively maintained.But is this so? Is Christian Nationalism even compatible with the Christian faith? In a western society that is often spoken of as Post-Christian, the relationship between Christianity and the State has become an increasingly vexed issue. Michael and Megan start their investigation by reviewing a documentary that seeks to look at how this is playing out in US evangelicalism. Moving on, they discuss whether Christian Nationalism is a problem in an Australian context. Then it's your chance to shape the show - a question and answer session on Australian evangelicalism and what the WADR team think about where it is going.LINKSAfter the highly successful “In the footsteps of the Reformers” tour through the Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland and the UK.

While we have been dealing with a pandemic over the last couple of years, we have also been experiencing what some are calling a loneliness epidemic.Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen discuss how this new struggle has been reported across many countries, particularly in their home country. The Ending Loneliness Together report says that one in four Australians are experiencing problematic levels of loneliness, with one in two Australians feeling lonelier due to the pandemic in 2020. Why is this so? Does it happen to Christians as much as anyone else, and how can we respond? Michael and Megan talk first about how loneliness might interact with faith, and then they invite Susan Mettes, behavioural scientist and author of The Loneliness Epidemic, on to the show to discuss how we can begin to deal with this challenge.Finally, the WADR team take a look at a comedy of loneliness, This Way Up.

Most of us wear clothes every day - Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit make a point of it! But as much as we might think we pay no attention to what we put on, most of us dress in accordance with the fashion of our day. And like it or not, what we wear communicates something about who we are. Very little thought is given over to Christian fashion. But the WADR team discover the one area that does get talked about is women dressing modestly - they immodestly think they have some helpful things to say on this. Michael and Megan then speak with a Christian fashion designer Neri Morris about how her job relates to her faith.

This week we invited the author Oliver Traldi on the podcast to talk about the role of experts in society and how we assess different kinds of skill, talent, and truth. Oliver, a writing fellow at Heterodox Academy and a doctoral candidate in philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, is one of the most exciting young thinkers and writers around today—as evidenced by his recent tour-de-force of an essay titled "With All Due Respect to the Experts." The conversation begins with Shadi's half-joking admission that he is being red-pilled in real time, mostly due to the increase in crime and many liberals' inability to concede that it is indeed a problem. This leads to an interesting back and forth about the difficulty of pinpointing truth in a pluralistic and democratic society. What is the role of experts really? Are "experts" the academic equivalent of pilots flying planes? Would we be better off as a society if we diminished the importance of punditry? In Part 2, available here for subscribers, the conversation zeroes in on the role of elites, and the qualities needed for effective leadership. Would technocracy seem like a more desirable system if our expert class hadn't sullied its credibility so extensively over the last 20 years? Is the horse-sense of normie voters a better guiding light than the prophecies of an elite class that is all to0 often high on its own supply?

Creative acts - and creative people - have sometimes been given short shrift within evangelicalism. Creative work can be seen as less significant than the work of a pastor or evangelist. But on the other hand, the Bible begins with an act of creation - the first and greatest of all creative acts. So Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen ask, 'Is creativity a waste of Christian time, or is it an essential vocation of the Christian?'In pursuit of an answer, the WADR team talk to the artist and cultural thinker Makoto Fujimura, who has written extensively about the intersection between the creative and theology. Then they finish with a look at a beautifully creative piece about a creative person - Oscar best picture winner CODA.LINKSMakoto Fujimura's new book, Art and Faith: A Theology of Making.If you'd like to help Michael and Megan continue to deliver With All Due Respect each fortnight, why not make a donation?With All Due Respect is the podcast for The WADR Project.
In the run-up to this weekend's federal election, Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen get all economical.Jesus famously said, "You cannot serve both God and money," or wealth, depending on the translation. While Christian scandals often involve abuse of sex or power, love of money seems to be the sin we often tolerate. Is that because Christians in the west have been living under capitalism for some time now? Capitalism gets quite a bad rap these days, so the WADR team asks, Is it the root of all evil? How should Christians relate to issues of money and ownership? Megan and Michael then talk to capitalism expert Professor Gordon Menzies from the University of Technology, Sydney, about how economics and faith might interrelate. And we finish the show with the television series that has been called a satire of late capitalism - Apple TV's Severance.

Now that the Prime Minister has called for an election, Christians will be bombarded by people wanting to win or influence their vote. Some of that campaigning will be based on what people THINK influences a Christian vote. But despite the rhetoric, the Christian vote is more diverse than is often realised. What issues are on Christian minds and hearts this election? Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen put that question out there and receive significant responses from Christian leaders as well as WADR listeners. Then the WADR team then discusses how you might sort through all this as you cast your vote. And to finish off, our resident 'Marg and Dave' review of a series that will make for good election viewing.LINKSFull comments from the Christian leaders who responded to Megan and Michael's questions.If you'd like to help Michael and Megan continue to deliver With All Due Respect each fortnight, why not make a donation?With All Due Respect is the podcast for The WADR Project.
Several books have recently been released on the problem of narcissism in the church. When we mix this with some high-profile examples of pastors gone wrong, the ego-centric leader becomes an important issue to consider. While we may not have evidence of legions of diagnosed clinical narcissists in the church, we can all point to church leaders with ego problems - not that surprising when church leadership can come with attached power and status.So, Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen ask how do we deal with the potential ego problem of leadership? Step one: interview Professor David Starling about his research into New Testament approaches to leadership.Then the WADR team follow this up with a discussion on whether our whole approach to leadership is wrong, before finishing with a surprising movie on leadership, Disney's Encanto.If you'd like to help Michael and Megan continue to deliver With All Due Respect each fortnight then why not make a donation?With All Due Respect is the podcast for The WADR Project, and a proud member of the Undeceptions Network.
Black Sabbath - old-school heavy metal band or day in the Christian calendar? The Saturday just before Easter Sunday has been called various names but that hasn't kept it top of mind in religious circles.It tends to be ignored by many Protestants, stuck awkwardly between the mourning of Good Friday and the joy of Easter Sunday.So Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit ask what was going on in that gap? And what spiritual significance does it have to people of faith today? Then the WADR team reviews the TV series The Chosen, which tells the stories of the gospels, as well as filling in some other gaps.If you'd like to help Michael and Megan continue to deliver With All Due Respect each fortnight then why not make a donation?With All Due Respect is the podcast for The WADR Project, and a proud member of the Undeceptions Network.
Soul. It's a word that continues to have a lot of resonance. We look for a soul mate, we say something is good for the soul, we engage in some soul searching and we bare our souls to each other. None of us wants to be soulless. But what is a soul? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit discover that this is one subject even Christians, who are in the business of 'saving souls', are less clear on.The WADR team ask some searching questions - do we have a soul and what is it? - in For Argument's Sake. Then they look at Swansong, a recent movie that is perhaps, soulless. Finally, it's time to take a look at a book that Megan reckons is good for the soul - Anne of Green Gables.If you'd like to help Michael and Megan continue to deliver With All Due Respect each fortnight then why not make a donation?
