Tune in to hear how ministry leaders can ask better questions, engage new tools faithfully, and create more space for spiritual fruit, rather than just fearing innovation.

I do think it reminds us that not everything new is necessarily good.” — Kenny Jahng“The upside is that technology and AI can create conditions where the fruit [of the Spirit] can actually flourish more fully. And that's good news.” — Kenny Jahng“God's spirit is not threatened by AI tools. Because, the mission isn't confined by the methods of the past.” — Kenny Jahng“Your call today is not to become an AI expert. Your call today is to become the conversation facilitator about AI in whatever environment and community that you live in.” — Kenny JahngLinks & Resources Mentioned:Missional.AI (conference/community, referenced) - https://missional.ai/Wycliffe.org (Bible translation ministry) - https://wycliffe.org/SeedCompany.com (Bible translation ministry) - https://seedcompany.com/AI for Church Leaders & Pastors Facebook Group (community for pastors and staff) About the Church Tech Today PodcastThe Church Tech Today Podcast helps pastors, church staff, and ministry leaders navigate the intersection of faith and technology with confidence.

As Charlie Higson guides us through some of the fascinating folk who litter English history, he lands upon John Wycliffe, an academic, a philosopher, a priest, a preacher and a religious reformer who lived during the reigns of Edward III and Richard II. A passionate reformer, he was behind the first translation of the bible to into English – creating the so called Wycliffe bible - one that didn't require a knowledge of Latin to read and understand. In fact, you could even argue that Wycliffe's ideas fed into the beginnings of socialism in the UK and the foundation of the welfare state. Helping Charlie understand the man, he welcomes back Rory Cox, author of John Wycliffe on War & Peace Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

on todays show we talk about The discussion delves into the historical and theological impact of John Wycliffe, a 14th-century Oxford professor who challenged the Catholic Church's authority and practices. Wycliffe's reforms included advocating for laypeople to read the Bible in their own language, criticizing the church's wealth and corruption, and questioning doctrines like Transubstantiation. His influence extended to Jan Hus and later reformers like Luther and Calvin. The conversation also touches on the broader context of the Middle Ages, the role of scholasticism, and the political dynamics between the church and state. The speakers emphasize the importance of individual faith and the need for a balanced approach to religious authority and practice. In the conversation, Speaker 1 expresses gratitude and plans to exchange emails for further discussion. Speaker 2 emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context and opposing views of one's own theological beliefs, suggesting that this deeper understanding can lead to a stronger faith. Speaker 1 humorously mentions that marrying a Catholic could shake one's certainty. The discussion then shifts to a light-hearted comment about the significance of batteries in the context of AI development, with Speaker 1 joking that whoever masters batteries will have the best AI, implying that AI could replace the need for God. Glenn Cox clarifies the joke.  Do Not Miss IT!

Many Christians couldn't imagine -not- having a Bible in the language they speak. That's the reality for millions and it's pushing Bible translators to find new -- and faster -- ways to get the scripture to every corner of the world. Wycliffe ...

Today the History of the Germans is honoured to host David Crowther, doyen of the guild of podcasters and host of the most excellent History of England Podcast. Wycliffe's writings were to prove controversial and proved an interesting early echo of the Reformation. They heavily influenced the view of Jan Hus and the movement in Bohemia. And his ability to develop and present those views owed a lot to Oxford University, and its desire to protect intellectual debate and investigation. Enjoy

In this episode, Dr. Alan Strange examines more forerunners of the Reformation, focusing on key figures like John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and Erasmus. The discussion with host Jared Luttjeboer explores these reformers' revolutionary ideas challenging the medieval Catholic Church, including critiques of church authority, biblical interpretation, and clerical corruption. Dr. Strange also highlights Wycliffe's groundbreaking assertion of Scripture as the sole criterion of doctrine, Hus's continuation of Wycliffe's reformist teachings, and Erasmus's critical yet nuanced approach to church reform.

Czy wiecie jaka jest historia chrześcijaństwa? Jak powstała ta religia oraz dlaczego się podzieliła? Dlaczego dzisiaj jest tak wiele religii chrześcijańskich? Ten odcinek zawiera uproszczoną wersję historii chrześcijaństwa w Europie. Musicie też pamiętać o tym, że dzisiaj w wielu krajach istnieje tolerancja religijna. To znaczy, że wyznawcy różnych religii tolerują siebie nawzajem. W przeszłości tak jednak nie było. Dochodziło czasem do okropnych rzeczy.Zacznijmy od samego początku. Kiedy zaczyna się historia chrześcijaństwa? Jezus został ochrzczony przez Jana Chrzciciela gdy miał około 30 lat. Trzy lata później został zabity. Ponieważ nasz kalendarz jest liczony od momentu kiedy Jezus miał się narodzić, tak więc dzień jego śmierci czyli rok 33 uznaje się za moment od kiedy istnieje religia chrześcijańska.Chrześcijanie byli bardzo długo prześladowani. Oznacza to, że zakazywano tej religii, palono jej księgi, np. Biblię, a samych chrześcijan zamykano do więzień oraz zabijano. Kiedy zakończyły się te prześladowania? W tamtych czasach w Europie rządzili cesarze rzymscy. To właśnie oni kazali prześladować chrześcijan. Nie wszyscy, ale wielu z nich, np. Neron, Domicjan, Hadrian, Trajan czy Dioklecjan. Te prześladowania zakończył cesarz Konstantyn Wielki w roku 313. Wprowadził on w cesarstwie tolerancję religijną. Tolerancja oznacza, że każdy może sobie wybrać jaką religię chce i nie będzie prześladowany.Dlaczego cesarz Konstantyn Wielki zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan? Tego cesarza wielu uznaje za pierwszego cesarza, który sam został chrześcijaninem. W 313 zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan. Rok wcześniej czyli w 312 odbyła się bitwa przy moście Mulwijskim. Podobno cesarz Konstantyn zobaczył wtedy na niebie krzyż i miał umieścić go na sztandarach swojego wojska.Konstantyn Wielki miał być pierwszym chrześcijańskim cesarzem. Po nim prawie wszyscy cesarze także byli chrześcijanami. Gdy jednak chrześcijan przestano prześladować zaczęli się oni dzielić na różne religie chrześcijańskie. Podział religii oznacza, że z jednej religii, z jednej organizacji religijnej powstają dwie mniejsze. Dlaczego jednak religie dzielą się? Są dwa główne powody. Po pierwsze religie dzielą się dlatego, że nie zgadzają się co do jakiejś nauki. Np. na soborze nicejskim w 325 spierano się o to czy Jezus jest Bogiem? Po tym soborze nastąpił podział na tych, którzy wierzyli w Trójcę i tych, którzy nie wierzyli w tą naukę.Drugi powód dla którego religie się dzielą to kwestia tego kto jest najważniejszy. Np. w kwietniu 1378 wybrano nowego papieża Urbana VI. Potem we wrześniu wybrano drugiego papieża Klemensa VII. Przez parę lat było dwóch papieży. Wszyscy katolicy dalej mieli tą samą wiarę, nauczali tego samego, np. nauczali o Trójcy. Jednak różne państwa uznawały różnych papieży np. Francja i Szkocja uznawały za papieża Klemensa VII, a Polska, Anglia i Niemcy Urbana VI.Te dwa przykłady pokazują, że czasami do podziału dochodzi gdy jest różnica w wierzeniach, np. czy wierzyć w Trójcę, a czasem gdy jest różnica w tym kto jest najważniejszy, np. kto jest papieżem. Jednak oba te podziały nie były trwałe. Chrześcijanie ponownie się połączyli w jedną religię. Były jednak trwałe podziały czyli takie które trwają do naszych czasów.Jaki był pierwszy trwały podział chrześcijaństwa? Cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na część zachodnią oraz wschodnią. Na zachodzie mówiono po łacinie, a na wschodzie po grecku. W tamtym okresie było pięć najważniejszych miast chrześcijańskich. Biskupi tych miast byli uznawani za najważniejszych. Były to: Jerozolima, Antiochia, Aleksandria, Konstantynopol oraz Rzym. Gdy jednak powstał Islam muzułmanie zdobyli pierwsze trzy miasta: Jerozolimę, Antiochię i Aleksandrię i to przestały być chrześcijańskie miasta. O Islamie mówiliśmy w odcinku 123.Pozostały dwa główne chrześcijańskie miasta Rzym i Konstantynopol. Doszło do kłótni, kto jest ważniejszy czy papież w Rzymie, czy patriarcha w Konstantynopolu i 1054 roku doszło do wielkiej schizmy czyli wielkiego podziału. Powstał kościół katolicki na zachodzie oraz prawosławny w Konstantynopolu. Ten podział widać do dzisiaj i to nie tylko w religii. Na zachodzie używa się innego alfabetu niż na wschodzie Europy.Polska znalazła się w części katolickiej dlatego u nas używa się alfabetu łacińskiego, a Rosja była w tej części prawosławnej dlatego oni mają inny alfabet. Tak więc zachodnia Europa miała religię katolicką oraz alfabet łaciński, a wschodnia Europa miała religię prawosławną oraz alfabet grecki.W XVI wieku doszło do kolejnego podziału w Europie zachodniej czyli podziału w kościele katolickim. Co się wydarzyło?Odpusty to były opłaty za przebaczenie grzechu. Do czego kościół katolicki potrzebował tych pieniędzy? W tym czasie papierze chcieli zbudować Bazylikę św. Piotra w Rzymie i potrzebowali na to dużo pieniędzy. Jeden z takich wysłanników sprzedających odpusty pojechał do Niemiec.Marcin Luter był mnichem, któremu nie podobało się, że sprzedaje się odpusty.Podobno do drzwi kościoła w Wittenberdze przybił spisane przez siebie 95 tez przeciwko tym odpustom. Rozpoczął on reformację czy próbę zmiany kościoła. Nie był on pierwszy, bo przed nim takimi reformatorami byli John Wycliffe w Anglii i Jan Hus w Czechach. Marcin Luter miał jednak coś czego oni nie mieli.W 1455 Gutenberg wynalazł druk. Od tej pory można było wszystko drukować. Tak więc kiedy w 1517 roku Luter przybił do drzwi kościoła te 95 tez jakiś drukarz zaraz zaczął je kopiować i sprzedawać. W ten sposób idee Lutra się rozpowszechniły bardzo szybko. Wycliffe i Hus tego nie mieli ich pisma trzeba było przepisywać.Luter zapoczątkował powstanie religii protestanckiej. Ta nazwa pochodzi od tego, że Luter zaprotestował przeciwko odpustom. Później religie protestanckie podzieliły się dalej na wiele mniejszych religii, ale często określa się je właśnie jako religie protestanckie.Co zapamiętaliście?Kiedy w cesarstwie rzymskim zakończyły się prześladowania chrześcijan?Czy pamiętacie wszystkie główne podziały w chrześcijaństwie?Dlaczego cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na dwie części?Dlaczego ten podział jest ważny dla religii chrześcijańskiej?Kto się pojawił w XV wieku?Kim był Jan Hus?Przeciwko czemu był Luter?Dzisiaj panuje tolerancja religijna, ale w przeszłości tak nie było. Dochodziło do wielu wojen z powodu religii. Np. gdy Luter stworzył religię protestancką doszło do wojny 30-letniej w Europie, podczas której kraje katolickie walczyły z krajami protestanckimi.Do podziałów religijnych dochodzi gdy dwie grupy mają różne wierzenia lub mają różnych przywódców. Np. jedni wierzą w Trójcę, a inni nie lub jedni mają jednego papieża, a inni drugiego.

A @Christadelphians Video: Would you risk your life for a book? This may seem a ridiculous concept today, but this wasn't always the case. Not only was it once illegal to own a copy of the Bible, for centuries people were forbidden to even read it! Even more interesting is that some of those who risked their lives to ensure we can have it in our homes today have a connection to Rugby and the surrounding area. John Wycliffe (1329-1384) was an English theologian, philosopher, and religious reformer. He is best known for his translation of the Bible into English, which was the first complete translation of the Bible into English from the original languages. Wycliffe was a controversial figure in his own time, and he was eventually excommunicated by the Catholic Church. He died in 1384, and his bones were later dug up and burned by order of the Pope William Tyndale (1494-1536) was an English scholar and translator who is best known for his translation of the Bible into English. Tyndale's translation was based on the original Hebrew and Greek texts, and it was the first English translation to be made from these sources. Tyndale was a Protestant, and his translation was critical of the Catholic Church. He was eventually arrested by the authorities and burned at the stake in 1536. Miles Coverdale (1488-1569) was an English Protestant Bible translator. He was the first person to publish an English translation of the entire Bible, which was published in 1535. Coverdale's translation was based on the work of Tyndale and other scholars. He also translated the Bible into German and Latin. John Rogers (1500-1555) was an English Protestant martyr. He was the first person to be burned at the stake for heresy during the reign of Queen Mary I. Rogers was a minister in the Church of England, and he was arrested for his opposition to the Catholic Church. He was burned at the stake in 1555, along with other Protestant leaders. Thomas Cranmer (1489-1556) was an English religious reformer who served as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1533 to 1555. Cranmer was a key figure in the English Reformation, and he was responsible for the introduction of many Protestant reforms in the Church of England. He was also a translator of the Bible, and he was one of the authors of the Book of Common Prayer. Cranmer was burned at the stake in 1556 for heresy during the reign of Queen Mary I. These are just a few examples of the many people who suffered for making the Bible available in English. Their sacrifices helped to ensure that the Bible would be accessible to all people, regardless of their social status or religious beliefs.

In this episode of *Men Who Rocked the World*, Dr. Steven Lawson delves into the roots of the Protestant Reformation by exploring the lives of three key figures: John Wycliffe, John Huss, and Martin Luther. He highlights Wycliffe's pioneering work in challenging the authority of the Pope, translating the Bible into English, and his influence on future reformers. Dr. Lawson explains how Wycliffe's teachings passed to Huss, and ultimately to Luther, forming the foundation of the Reformation. This episode underscores the vital role of these pre-reformers in laying the groundwork for the movement that reshaped church history.

In this episode of "Men Who Rocked the World," Dr. Steven Lawson explores the profound influence of John Wycliffe, the "Morning Star of the Reformation." Lawson traces Wycliffe's journey from a brilliant scholar at Oxford to a fierce advocate for biblical authority over church tradition. Highlighting Wycliffe's role in translating the Bible into English and his bold defiance of the Roman Catholic Church, Lawson illustrates how Wycliffe's legacy paved the way for future reformers like John Huss and Martin Luther. This episode sheds light on how one man's unwavering stand on God's Word can ignite transformative movements that echo through history. You can find Dr. Lawsons biography of John Wycliffe here.

We wrap up by celebrating his immense contributions to the trombone community and eagerly anticipate his future performances. Also introducing special features with Patreon: www.patreon.com/tromboneretreatLearn more about the Trombone Retreat and upcoming festival here: linktr.ee/tromboneretreat Hosted by Sebastian Vera - @js.vera (insta) and Nick Schwartz - @basstrombone444 (insta)Produced and edited by Sebastian VeraMusic: Firehorse: Mvt 1 - Trot by Steven Verhelst performed live by Brian Santero, Sebastian Vera and Nick SchwartzThank you to our season sponsor Houghton Horns: www.houghtonhorns.comSupport the show
