86. How to build back without building bigger (Part 3)
Looking at Luke 12:13-21 we explore a story all about greed, excess and stuff. How do we build back in such a way that we are a blessing to others. What are you wanting to shape your life around?
Quote used: “The west is based upon a consumerism philosophy which is based upon a greed centred economy. Our enormously productive economy… demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying of goods into a ritual that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption…. We need things consumed fast, worn out, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever accelerated rate.”

Fasting is one of those spiritual disciplines that we know about but very rarely do. What is it, how do you really do it, what can we eat and drink while doing it? Which fast should we use? The Daniel fast, the Moses fast or the Jesus fast? What? There is more than one way to fast? Is this real?
Pastor Yemi helps us understand fasting and how to do it.

We are now 6 months on in the COVID 19 pandemic and we are unclear when it will end.

59. Talking with Tent Theologian Stephen Backhouse on Conspiracy and Fake News.
We continue from last weeks episode thinking about conspiracy theories and how we as Christians process wisely what we read and see online or on social media.

We can be intelligent people who simply don't have all the correct facts... what do we then do?

Monday Sep 14, 2020
Episode 58 - God, Gill Gates And The Greatest Conspiracy Theory.
With the growth of online accessibility, Christianity can be a breeding ground for fundamentalism and conspiracy theories that fit within our Christian framework. Within this framework, these lies can look more convincing and the devil loves it.
Paul tells us that we need to be able to distinguish between the spirits - the spirit of truth and the spirit of lies and deception. In this Internet era conspiracy theories and lies have become more dangerous and prevalent. We are bombarded with fake news so much we can start to question even the fabric of reality and this is where it gets dangerous.
How do we wisely discern what we are reading, hearing or watching?
SO WE NEED WISDOM…
Through SCRIPTURE
Through TRADITION
Through REASON
And wise council.
