Coda: Closing Reflections & Thanksgiving

Krista Tippett

Krista Tippett is the Founder and CEO of The On Being Project and host of the Peabody Award winning conversation, On Being, which she began 15 years ago as a weekly national public radio show originally called Speaking of Faith. On Being explores the big questions of meaning - What does it mean to be human? How do we want to live? Who will we be to each other? - and pursues deep thinking and social courage, moral imagination and joy, to renew inner life, outer life, and life together. Krista is also the author of multiple books including Speaking of Faith, Einstein’s God, and, most recently, the 2016 New York Times best-selling Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living, which opens into the questions and challenges of this century. She is currently working on her next book, Letters to A Young Citizen. Through On Being, Krista has had over 450 conversation partners over the years and each week On Being goes out to over one million listeners.

#97 Austin Channing Brown Is Still Here

AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez is an IndoLatinx mujerista working to create and agitate her way through the latin diaspora. She is a writer and speaker, visual artist, and faith-based community organizer. She blogs at Patheos Progressive Christian and shares other resources at browneyedamazon.com. Born in Venezuela, she came to the United States at a young age where she was adopted and given the name Ashley. When she was 15, she stood before a judge and declared, “I want my name back.” This reclamation of her name and identity has marked her work in the areas of decolonization in the church and beyond, intersectionality, and LGBT inclusion ever since. In this episode, AnaYelsi joins me to discuss: Identity and name reclamation Being displaced and living as part of a cultural diaspora Language and intentional use of terms like "Latinx" Finding refuge and healing in community Why decolonization must go beyond the personal level and address unjust systems The power of art to capture and speak to complex issues Get your free RePlacing Church Resource List, a guide to being and becoming the church in the neighborhood.

#91 What Happened Under the Redwood Tree

Ben Katt interviews Krista Tippett, Austin Channing Brown, Shane Claiborne, Robin DiAngelo, “Science Mike” McHargue &amp; more, and reflects on topics like spirituality, community, justice and neighborhood.

As a believer, husband, and father facing a crossroads of “where to go to church”, Ben’s podcast helped me and my family reconsider what is essential to being the body of Christ in this world. We found such relief in the interviews and monologues recorded here that we weren’t the only ones sensing the limitations that have been structured around what church is! Thank you for orchestrating this audio community, Ben. It has led my family to a better understanding of God’s desire for those who love God.

Eye-opening

What a fabulous perspective on Christian discipleship in the 21st century!

Love it!

#64 Ched Myers on Watershed Discipleship

Perhaps the church as we know it is being replaced and replaced because God is actually being replaced... In this episode, part 4a of the RePlacing Church series, I take a look at what I call "Carl Sagan's Psalm," interact with Diana Butler Bass' excellent recent book Grounded, and listen to the wisdom of folks like St. Thomas Aquinas, Barbara Brown Taylor, and Supreme Leader Snoke, as I explore what is leading to the grounding movements happening in the church, namely, the shift from a conventional, vertical understanding of God to a more horizontal, grounded understanding of God.

#23 The Grounding Church (RePlacing Church, part 4a)

Chris Heuertz

Chris Heuertz joins me to talk about contemplative activism and community, including: The one thing church planters need to know when starting a community Why solitude, silence, and stillness are so critical for our world right now Why some people are surrounded by community but still so lonely Why some Christians are scared of contemplative practice What Christian organizations need to learn about handling transitions  *Originally posted at theV3movement.org Chris Heuertz, along with his wife, Phileena, is a founding partner of Gravity, a center for contemplative activism based in Omaha, Nebraska that helps people “to do good better” by hosting a weekly prayer sit, leading contemplative retreats and pilgrimages, providing spiritual direction, and facilitating Enneagram consultations. Prior to starting Gravity, the Heuertzes started and served for 20 years with Word Made Flesh, a non-profit organization that extends love and care to the most vulnerable in some of the world’s poorest slums, red light areas, and places of intense human suffering.

In this episode, I discuss the second of the Five Signs of the Parish Movement, “Inhabiting Our Place,” by talking about the President of China, the former "Pearl Button Capital of the World," and stories from Genesis and Jeremiah.Parish church expressions are emerging in neighborhoods everywhere. Whatever they are called - neighborhood church plants, missional communities, neomonastic communities, faith-based social enterprises - these diverse expressions seem to exhibit five common signs as they join God’s renewal in their particular places. In this five part series, I explore the Five Signs of the Parish Movement: Centering on Christ  Inhabiting the Parish Gathering to Remember Collaborating for God’s Renewal Linking Across Parishes  Inhabiting Our Parish: Rooting our lives in our neighborhood, we seek to join God’s renewal in, with, and for our place. Rather than trying to be all things to all people, we are learning to accept our limitations as a gift from God, live with intentionality, be known by our actual neighbors and tangibly love those around us.

#80 Daniel Hill on Waking Up to Whiteness

In Ephesians 4, the Apostle Paul mentions 5 gifts for the church - Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, and Teacher (APEST). Over the past decade of missional church and church planting conversations, Alan Hirsch, Mike Breen, J.R. Woodward and others have done some good work towards expanding our understanding of these "Ministries," "Equippers," or "Intelligences." But what do we learn about these gifts when we replace APEST, when we explore what these 5 gifts look like in the neighborhood? In this episode, the first in a six-part series, I explore WHY these 5 categories matter for being and becoming church in the neighborhood, HOW you get these gifts, and WHAT their ultimate purpose is. *Get your free RePlacing Church Resource List, a guide to being and becoming church in the neighborhood!

#36 The Neighborhood Restorers (RePlacing APEST, 1 of 6)

Brian McLaren

Brian McLaren is a well-known author, speaker, activist and public theologian who has been advocating for “a new kind of Christianity” that is just and generous for over twenty years since he wrote The Church On the Other Side while serving as pastor of Cedar Ridge Community Church. Since then, he has written numerous books including A New Kind of Christian, A Generous Orthodoxy and Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?. His most recent work, The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World’s Largest Religion Is Seeking a Better Way to Be Christian explores the spiritual, theological and missional conversions that the church needs to undergo in order to be true to the way of Jesus and make a generative impact on the world. Brian is an Auburn Senior Fellow and a leader in the Convergence Network, and collaborates with the Center for Progressive Renewal, the Wild Goose Festival and the Fair Food Program’s Faith Working Group. In this episode of RePlacing Church, he joins me to discuss: What he saw twenty years ago that launched him into writing to the church How a mafia metaphor can help white people engage their whiteness How to pray for your enemies The important idea that Protestants missed in Luther’s 95 theses Why the church should be a “school of love” One key aspect of the next Reformation *Check out the Prayer for Enemies that Brian mentions here.
