False Witness: Too Much to Bear

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:05:44 -0800

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. It’s about more than putting your hand on a Bible and swearing to tell the whole truth. It’s about actually taking this command seriously.

2.8.3 :: mark horvath (remix)

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:41:38 -0800

due to the continual overwhelming popularity of our interview with Mark Horvath (which was originally published in two episodes) we’re re-releasing the interview with Mark in it’s entirety in one complete episode.

Mark Horvath is a homeless advocate whose using twitter and other social media to increase awareness about the growing issue of homelessness here in America. not only does Mark see these issues daily on the streets, he’s also lived them himself.

Mark admits that some of the stories he shares are offensive — but he hopes they make the viewers mad enough they’ll get up and do something.

From invisiblepeople.tv ::

On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God; “Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?” For a while God said nothing. That night he replied, quite suddenly:

“I certainly did something about it. I made you.”

I once heard a story about a homeless man on Hollywood Blvd who really thought he was invisible. But one day a kid handed the man a Christian pamphlet. The homeless guy was shocked and amazed, “what! You can see me? How can you see me? I’m invisible!”

It isn’t hard to comprehend this man’s slow spiral into invisibility. Once on the street, people started to walk past him, ignoring him as if he didn’t exist… much like they do a piece of trash on the sidewalk. It’s not that people are bad, but if we make eye contact, or engage in conversation, then we have to admit they exist and that we might have a basic human need to care. But it’s so much easier to simply close our eyes and shield our hearts to their existence.

I not only feel their pain, I truly know their pain. I lived their pain. You’d never know it now but I was a homeless person. Fourteen years ago, I lived on Hollywood Blvd. But today, I find myself looking away, ignoring the faces, avoiding their eyes — and I’m ashamed when I realize I’m doing it. But I really can feel their pain, and it is almost unbearable, but it’s just under the surface of my professional exterior.

mike rusch :: 2.38

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:56:55 -0700

this week we talk to Mike Rusch, husband, father, follower, and one of the co-founder of the Cobblestone Project, a community movement in northwest Arkansas.

from the Cobblestone website:

The Cobblestone Project was founded in April 2008 by families who were committed to stepping forward to make a meaningful difference in their community. The motivation of this movement to action was the belief that every person has a unique and immeasurable value by virtue of their shared human story. These families believe that this human story is defined by a movement towards the restoration of the image that all people were created in. They believe that every human heart deserves dignity, respect and the opportunity to fully realize their beauty.

When a community of people engages together in bringing to light those whose image can not fully be achieved, true change begins to take place.

The dream of the Cobblestone Project is to work towards

“A Community Without Need”

justin m. snyder :: 2.37

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:30:11 -0700

this week we talk with Justin Snyder, storyteller, guacamole aficionado, founder of Abandon Films and all around great guy. Justin talks about his faith, film and how the two intertwine.

after spending a year as a media missionary for the Southern Baptist Convention, Justin joined with several friends to found Abandon Films.

Abandon Films began in 2007, launching with the quirky road trip documentary, The Great American Road Trip, and multiple projects for churches and non-profit ministries. Since then, the body of work has expanded to include three short films (one receiving an award for best graphics at the Richmond 48 Hour Film Festival), and an impressive portfolio of client work for non-profits and high profile organizations such as the Taubman Museum of Art and Geneva World.

Their client projects have taken them across the country, from disaster relief efforts in the California fires, to exclusive tours at the United Nations headquarters in New York. They have clients in Geneva, Nashville, Atlanta, Richmond, and Roanoke, and have collaborated on projects with various industry professionals including Access Advertising, Portnoy Media Group, and Red Cloud Productions.

so listen in, be inspired and then share your thoughts about Christians in film, Christian films, Christian art or anything else that comes to mind… and then share it with your friends.

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:33:47 -0700

this week we talk with Jason C. Dukes about his mission to Live Sent and how he’s found ways to practically live it out 168 hours a week.

From his blog:

I am a follower and a leader. a husband and a father. a son and a brother. a learner and a teacher. a writer and a dreamer. I try to listen to and live for Jesus everyday. I try to give my family more than leftovers, creatively and passionately investing into their lives. I try to think about the interests of others ahead of my own, but that’s really hard. I really enjoy seeing other people dream and live those dreams. I really dig Duke basketball, and I cheer for Jeff Gordon.

I currently serve on pastoral team with Westpoint Church, which my wife and I were asked to start back a few years ago. I also helped to start some really cool stuff since then: HouseBlendCafe.com, ReproducingChurches.com, theChurchofWestOrange.com and areopagus.tv and HumanityBeautiful.com.

Jason is also the author of Live Sent – You Are a Letter which was published this month, delving deeper into this idea.

This week Aaron takes time out of his classes @ Fuller Seminary to interview two friends Eric and Patrick. A special added bonus is Eric’s music is the intro and “outro” music for this podcast and for a few future podcasts! Eric is a professional worship artist that not only has produced 6 national recognized worship albums, but also helps train worship teams and leaders. Patrick is the author of It’s A Dance: Moving With The Holy Spirit. Want a description of the book?: “Luke is a journalist at a local newspaper in Southern California doing a series of articles on churches in the area. As he interviews Nate, pastor of a nontraditional church that operates a pub, he learns more why than who, what, when, and where. Patrick Oden uses a fictitious church and fictitious people to write a nonfiction book about the Holy Spirit. Oden destroys the myth that solid Christian doctrine is only communicated in a didactic style. The personalities of the people and the conversational style turn theology into an enlightening, fascinating read.” Yeah, sounds good huh? The Shack ain’t got nothing on this one!

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women.
It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don’t take yourself too seriously — take God seriously. – Micah 6:8

He lives with his wife and two children, is an avid gardener, and extremely well loved by his students (including D.G.)

Episode #36 The Sleeths

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:59:25 -0700

Just in time for Earth Day 2009, Aaron and D.G. are humbled and excited to share yall the Praxis Podcast listeners an interview with Matthew and Nancy Sleeth. They are both authors and Kingdom Praxis-ers! They invited us into their home, fed us amazing organic food, and had a wonderful “green” discussion. Maybe being green is not just a cultural fad, but way of God that god desires for us to live out in our lives! If you have friends that are green and wondering where the Christian voice is, then this is the podcast for you. Or, if your like D.g. and desire to respect God by respecting this earth and the lives of others, then please listen and start living a live of transformation today! Enjoy!

The Sleeth family’s environmental journey has paralleled their faith journey. As they began to live out what it means to love God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love their neighbors as themselves, they found their calling: to live more simply. The first and most important miracle for the Sleeths is that their entire family came to know Christ, not just in their heads but in their daily actions. Hanging clothes on the line, washing dishes by hand, and growing their own food are all ways of they show daily respect for God’s creation, and love for their global neighbors.

Nancy’s new book was just released so click on it up there and buy it from thier website or find it online on amazon! Thank you!

Advent Hymn #5: No More Turning From the Child [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 11:17:15 -0800

Perhaps a fitting song for this day after Christmas. It speaks of our tendency to turn away from Jesus soon after celebrating his birth, to look for him in the wrong places. The truth of the incarnation is that Jesus comes not through the seats of power, and yet overpowers those seats anyway. Of course his is a power unlike any other which not so much coerces and transforms those that it touches. No More Turning From The Child word by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone Where is the holy heaven-born child, Heir of the everlasting throne,

Advent Hymn #6: Heaven Cannot Contain

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 07:46:14 -0800

This song brings the mystery of the incarnation into real personal imagery. Jesus our brother. God is born. Part of this dust. And even though the the recording is a little rough, I hope it is a song that helps us remember the great paradox of the season - God among us. Pdf chord chart available over on the Local Liturgy. Please download and share! Heaven Cannot Contain Words by Charles Wesley, Music by Carl Thomas Gladstone Glory be to God on high, And peace on earth descend;

Evolutionary Biology and the Incarnation with LeRon Shults: Homebrewed Christianity ep.37

Advent Hymn #5: Shepherd's Hymn

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:00:34 -0800

I didn't realize how fond of the shepherds was CW until working with this text and noticing the ones around it. It seems that all of his songs claim solidarity with these "regulars." You do get the vague sense that Charles saw shepherds as somehow lowlier than himself, "even shepherds..." is the usual context. But if we strip away what might be latent class-ism, we get song texts about the moment when God's angels make the announcement of Jesus' birth to the most normal of folk. Shepherds' Hymn words by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

Advent Hymn #3: Jesus Will Not Refuse the Song [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:56:44 -0800

Advent and Christmas are known for the music that we sing in worship services and on caroling trips. In this song Wesley confirms the tendency to sing about such a joyful time. Maintaining his solidarity with the shepherds Wesley acknowledges that not all of our music-making will be professional done. But, he says, Jesus as our shepherd knows, understands, and loves us anyways. (Get the chart on the Local Liturgy page!) Jesus Will Not Refuse The Song Words by Charles Wesley, Music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

Advent Hymn #2: Away With Our Fears [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:50:43 -0800

This song captures the inscrutable reality of the Divine taking up residence among the mundane. The Father present as Child. God's holiness revealed in this human. The Christmas season might beg the question, "Why this way God?" Wesley helps us remember that even in this mystery we can find beauty, hope, and an end to fear if we will let God enter as God plans. Away With Our Fears words by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone Immanuel’s birth Immanuel's birth What triumph on earth! Yet could it afford Yet could it afford

Advent Hymn #1: Those Infant Hands [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:49:18 -0800

Bringing back the Advent song texts from Charles Wesley that we've been reclaiming over the past few years. Those Infant Hands is a great text that revels in both the innocence and utter power of what God does in the Baby Jesus. Watch for links on the Local Liturgy page for chord charts - we hope these songs will be used and shared by communities all over. Those Infant Hands word by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone Those infant hands, of the heavenly stranger,
