Theological education is about the formation of people, communities, and the world.  However, much of our theological and higher education has been designed and formed by rugged individualism and what is known as whiteness.  Today we had a conversation with Dr. Willie J. Jennings about his new book, After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging.   Listen in on what Dr. Jennings means by whiteness and how it has permeated our theological institutions.  We hope you enjoy this conversation.

Brokenness and addiction are prevalent in our communities, churches, and nations.  Drug overdoses have gone up significantly in North America and our addictions to media, entertainment, and consumerism have only increased.  Today we had a conversation with Aaron White about the descriptive and prescriptive beatitude community Jesus calls us into and out of our addictions.  Aaron White is a pastor, author, and resident theologian for Jacob's Well and 24-7 Prayer Canada. He recently wrote a book entitled Recovering: From Brokenness and Addiction to Blessedness and Community.  We hope you enjoy our conversation.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways.  The #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations allow for light and truth to be shed on the abuse of power.  Often organizations and churches want to prevent this abuse, but many lack an awareness of how power actually works.  Dr. Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for how we can address these issues and understand how power can be redeemed.  We hope you enjoy our conversation.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Calling often can be for vocation or career, but can one be called to friendship?   Many of us have had childhood best friends, but is friendship merely  a matter of preference?  And what does friendship with God look like, is it a disembodied friendship, or something more?  Join us in our conversation as we tackle these questions and more with Dr. Cindy Aalders and Dr. David Robinson. Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

In this conversation we unpack the harmful and destructive effects of the Doctrine of Discovery.  Sarah Augustine brings a much needed prophetic voice calling the church to rise up and take action against ways this Doctrine has and continues to devastate indigenous cultures.  Sarah recently wrote a book on this subject, called "The Land is Not Empty: Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery."  We hope this conversation challenges you.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Often we think of food as simply our source of energy or something we share together at the dinner table, but have you ever thought of food in regards to discipleship and following Christ?  Dana Robinson has recently written a book on this very subject, specifically how food was used to form and shape Early Christianity.  We had a wonderful conversation about her book, "Food, Virtue, and the Shaping of Early Christianity."  In it we discuss the Early Church and how the dinner table, food, and following Christ were all tied together.  We also discussed how this might impact our modern understanding of food and our walk with Christ.  Enjoy this conversation! We hope it reframes your understanding of food.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening. Please like, rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice and share this episode with a friend.

Loneliness has been a major topic of conversation in recent years.  What is the antidote for loneliness?  Dr. Eric Jacobsen wrote a book recently on this very topic, entitled "Three Pieces of Glass."   We discuss what it looks like to cultivate belonging, not only on an individual level but also on a societal level.  Eric is passionate about reframing and restructuring the built environment, and believes that much of the loneliness we experience is not just a result of individual choices, but also due to choices we have made as a society.   Enjoy this conversation. We hope it inspires you to cultivate belonging in your own environment.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.
