204 The  Baha'i Faith [Part 2] with Steve Matthews and James Walker

Jesus once asked His disciples who they thought He was. Rightly did Peter confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Such a confession was not revealed to Peter by flesh and blood, but by the Father, as Jesus told Him. 

There are adherents of the Bahai'i Faith, an offshoot of Shiite Islam that began in 1844, who claim they follow the teachings of Jesus too. There are some 8,000 Baha'i centers of worship in the U.S. and many Americans adhere to the Baha'i faith. But who do the Baha'i say that Jesus is? Is he the same Jesus of the Bible? This week on the Profile we continue our conversation with counter-cult apologist Steve Matthews, who continues to unpack the syncretistic and contrary doctrines and practices of the Baha'i faith. 

Steve Matthews  is a Christian countercult apologist who is not only passionate about researching the more established cults, but also in responding to the newer emerging groups as well. He has his M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Trinity International University and is involved in launching ExaminingTheCults.

You have probably seen the bumper sticker "COEXIST" made up of several different symbols representing different belief systems and religions. But that bumper sticker is a command, an imperative. The fundamental question about that bumper sticker is "Who is issuing this command?" 

The Baha'i Faith is no exception to this inclusivism. They attempt to affirm that other religions are valid revelations of God and even ascribe to some of the teachings of Jesus. But this inclusivism is not really inclusive, as the only proper interpretation of the world's religions is given through the ultimate authority of the Baha'i faith, Baha’u’llah, who died in 1892. 

This week James Walker, the president of Watchman Fellowship, speaks with counter-cult apologist Steve Matthews who gives us an in-depth analysis of the Baha'i faith and why their doctrines of inclusivism and of Jesus are both contradictory and in error.

Two middle aged guys harping on about leadership may be interesting to some, but clearly that is never going to be enough. If Leadership Practice is in any way forward looking, surely we need to look to those who are nipping at our heels. What do today's youth think of Leadership? What do they expect of those who claim to lead? And how do they aspire to practice leadership that speaks to their generation and beyond?

In this episode Paul & KG are joined by Paige, Cal, Hugh and Rosa. They are a breath of fresh air, bringing the conversation into sharp focus around their understanding, expectations and aspirations on the topic of Leadership with incredible intelligence, clarity, focus and a huge dose of hope.

The wine for this conversation is a juicy, fruit-driven 2017 Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale Shiraz, sourced from Naked Wines.   Sláinte!

In this episode, I was talking with Sarah Pidgeon, assistant wine maker at Wynns, the historic Coonawarra Estate. We discussed her route into winemaking, What makes Coonawarra so unique and suitable to produce great Cabernet Sauvignon (and Shiraz!).

Her line of wine under the V&A Lane label, the threat of global warming, whether other varieties can be introduced into Coonawarra, how their wines age over time and what she will be happy to drink on a desert island.

Enjoy!

Iran is one of the great destinations of the world, but many travelers are hesitant to go. After listening to Pattie Ehsaei, born and raised in Iran, you'll want to, soon. She describes her birth-country's beauty, history and culture in cities including Tehran, Esfahan, Persepolis and Shiraz. She tells of castles, mosques, ziggurats, lagoons, islands, beaches, scenic mountain roads, and ancient pigeon towers.

Pattie came to the U.S. when she was seven, on the last plane out, in the Iranian Revolution. Pattie and Lea discuss the expat community of Persians in the U.S. and  what travelers need to do in terms of visas and such.

Besides the sites, Pattie reflects on family gatherings in Iran, the food and drink, and friendliness of the people.

She ends, as all our episodes do,  with a favorite travel memory.  And we end knowing so much more of what makes Iran an exceptional country to visit.
