So it's a call to discomfort, not a call to comfort and going back to our earlier conversation, often it seems so much of our faith paradigm is not a call to comfort, but it justifies our comfort. It allows us to remain in the same place and it allows us to huddle, and it doesn't call us to bring in other people in discomfort. Matthew 5, I won't read it all but it goes on and on to a point where we're stripped of the comforts, God seeps in and we start looking outwards. And in that outward embrace, we start embracing more people. And it's almost as if your internal engine flips to the way it was meant to be. Before we're trying to suck in satisfaction. All of a sudden we're breathing the life, breathing life into the people and the experiences around us.

Tyndale laid the foundation for the Reformation in England through his English translation of the Bible. Henry VIII tore England away from the Catholic Church and created the Church of England, but then Mary I returned the country to Catholicism. Elizabeth I pulled it out again and insisted on uniformity amongst all the churches. James I and Charles I increased persecution of those who didn't conform, which helped lead the country into Civil War and a period of much greater religious freedom.

Art opens us to newness, to unexpected possibilities and the Gospel does the same...opens us to newness, the resurrection, the promise, a new heaven, new Earth. So, it opens us to newness and unexpected possibilities so I think there's this sort of parallel between the Gospel and the arts. One other thing I would want to say is that both the arts and the Gospel invite us to a posture of receptivity. What we like in our culture is control and management. Art says, listen, listen, look, receive and that posture of receptivity I think is essential for us if we're going to flourish as human beings.

Today’s guest is Lorna Dueck and we are investigating the intersection of Scripture and the media. Lorna Dueck has explored the intersection of journalism and Christianity for over 30 years. Her most recent full-time role was as CEO of Crossroads Christian Communications, Inc. and the show, “Context with Lorna Dueck” 

Lorna was a regular commentary writer on faith and public life in Canada's leading national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, and is a frequent media commentator. She has travelled the world reporting on church-led response to humanitarian crisis.

We see - as Lorna out of her own story and exposure to the Bible from an early age until now - how to reconcile what we read in the news with what we read in the Bible, and how each can inform our prayerful consumption of the other. Come enjoy this episode as we untangle the Scriptures like a journalist!

This episode gets into the academic conversation as Andrew and Domenic dive into some meaty topics of Scripture based on Domenic’s expertise in church history in order to help us untangle Scripture for ourselves.

Domenic Ruso is the founding pastor of 180 Church in Laval and most recently finished his Ph.D. in Historical Theology at Trinity College, University of Toronto. Born and raised in Montreal, Dom's early faith experiences came from going to a Roman Catholic Church and later experiencing an added understanding of his faith within a Protestant context.  Having ministered in other provinces he returned and founded a Church in Quebec. Domenic has a thorough understanding of the challenges of a faith community in the Quebec context, and also partners with other churches who have a deep love for the province of Quebec and a desire to teach and reach people for Christ.

You didn't ask for it - but here it is:  an interview with a real live member of the board of lutheran Bible translators Canada. Let's find out exactly how far this distribution of the Word of God is willing to go... and who's up for the challenge... and how? With an In-law who just might be an Outlaw in her own heart: Pauline Huth (My Mother in-law).
Sure, it looks good on paper - but let's see how this has reached people in Africa. And how the work of William Tyndale and Martin Luther has carried on throughout the centuries.

Jesus says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

I. Disciples may be hunted and hurt for loving Jesus, v10. II. Disciples may be scorned and slandered for loving Jesus, v11. III. Disciples should rejoice and leap for joy.
