At the All Saints of North America Orthodox Monastery in Dewdney, BC we gather to speak with David Goa. David has said things to us like;

“My goal is to convert evangelicals to Jesus” and “Most people are better than their theology”.

Friends of the Cupboard gather in the Advent Season.

We talk about the Rankin Bass Christmas specials, particularly the weirdest ones.

Dr. Richard Topping joins us to discuss Christian Education in general and Theological Education specifically. Can we invite even a small number of people (whether they are students or not) to commit to the intellectual aspect of faith?

We speak with Jenn about how most of our metaphors for witness and mission are traditionally masculine and even military in nature.

We speak with Jason around the topic of polarization in the Christian Church and around the topic of Christian faith being expressed against the world.

Why is music and worship both engaging and infuriating? And why is it that what can be engaging for me can be infuriating for you?

What is hopeful about worship? How can music and singing be an essential expression of Hopeful Gospel?

The Cupboard welcomes Dr. Ross Lockhart from St.Andrew’s Hall, UBC. He has travelled the world, but keeps finding his way back to Ireland. Oh, and a note that is great for podcasting – Ross is perhaps the best dressed professor or minister in town.
