Season of Renewal Initiative in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto with Judy Paulsen
How does a whole diocese lean into spiritual renewal without getting lost in programs or pressure? Judy Paulsen walks us through the Diocese of Toronto’s two-year Season of Spiritual Renewal and the surprising things that grew when congregations focused on prayer, Scripture, and simple, steady practices. Judy shares stories of communities rediscovering connection, courage, and a shared sense of purpose. It’s renewal that looks less like a campaign and more like a quiet turning of the soil—slow, honest, and deeply hopeful.
She Believed Author, Taylor Scott-Reimer
In our conversation with Taylor Scott-Reimer, Scripture springs to life through the stories of women who faced impossible choices and still chose courage. Taylor reflects on what she’s learned from writing She Believed, why certain interpretations have done harm, and how reclaiming overlooked voices can steady our own faith today. Rahab, Tamar, the daughters of Zelophehad—each becomes a doorway into questions of power, belonging, and hope. It’s a thoughtful exploration of how ancient stories can reshape our own.
Prayer Walking with Randell Neudorf: Creative Ways 2025 Recast
What happens when prayer gets messy, playful, and deeply local? In our Creative Ways recast with Randell Neudorf, listeners are invited to imagine prayer that moves—through streets, stories, and surprising moments of neighbourhood grace. Randell shares how graffiti walls, prayer walks, and small creative experiments help people pay attention to God’s presence right where they live. It’s practical, hopeful, and wonderfully down-to-earth, offering ministry leaders a way to explore prayer that grows out of curiosity rather than pressure.
After Jesus Before Christianity Author, Dr. Erin Vearncombe
In our conversation with Dr. Erin Vearncombe, the world of early Jesus movements opens up in fresh and surprising ways. Erin talks about how communities in the first century used writing—not as polished theology, but as creative, communal meaning-making. She also reflects on co-authoring After Jesus, Before Christianity and why the earliest Jesus groups looked far more diverse, experimental, and ordinary than many of us imagine. Along the way, she explores grief, identity, trauma, and how the Gospel of Mark may function as a memorial for a community navigating profound loss. It’s curious, grounded, and full of gentle insight.
