smallVOICE podcast – August 2021

This month, we review the startling podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill from Christianity Today; Anne’s guest for our Thousand Words feature is Julia Bicknell, former BBC reporter and co-founder of World Watch Monitor; our very own roving reporter, Margaret introduces us to the Freedom of Mind Community Choir as our ‘small voice of the month’; we have fab music in the form of a couple of session tracks from Steve Butler; and we’ll finish the show with a Moral Mixdown which asks what the legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics might be?

Presented by our team of Darren, Anne, Holly and Margaret, this podcast was recorded remotely via Zoom on Thursday 5 August 2021.
Duration 1 hour 10 minutes.

Available from Apple Podcasts, TuneIn Radio and from all your usual podcast Apps.

Really enjoyed this one, thank you.

When I moved to Scotland, Mars Hill/Driscoll was much trumpeted in the tradition I serve, which surprised me even then… maybe reflects a theological leaning less prevalent where I came from? Accountability of clergy and better understanding of church health/growth have been hugely significant in a Scottish/UK context.

I love the Olympics, and like Holly enjoy quirky things like dancing horses, women swimming upside down and divers who knit. I think the difference between a super-tanker sized organisation and courageous individuals is significant, and seen to some degree in all large organisations. I am also looking forward to the Paralympics even more?

Loved the Thousand Words, Small Voice and the music.

Most excellent

(PS from Sophie and Sasha, their comment from last month seems to have been eaten by your spam bot. But they thank you again for their award!!😽😽)

Many thanks Catriona, yes, sadly S&S comment seems to have been blocked, maybe our website provider has a dog…
Glad you loved the podcast, like you I’m struggling to come to terms with the general acceptance of MH “teaching” in evangelical circles back in the day… have to pray that isn’t the case now.

I really enjoyed this episode, lots to think about.
I was particularly interested in your views on the olympics….I was in 2 minds about whether the games going ahead was a good thing or not.
We can change the direction of supertankers but it takes the courage, strength and determination of individuals. Well done to those athletes who are beginning to call for changes.
