Episode 37 - Exploring Evolutionary Spirituality with John Van De Laar
Send us a textIn this conversation, Christine Sine and John van de Laar explore John's journey of faith, identity, and the transformative power of liturgy. They discuss the challenges of navigating faith as an autistic individual, the importance of engaging with liturgy in a meaningful way, and the reinterpretation of the Book of Revelation in contemporary contexts. John's experiences highlight the intersection of personal faith, community, and the evolving understanding of spirituality.TakeawaysLiturgy plays a crucial role in personal transformation.Liturgy should engage all senses.Revelation can be understood as...

Resurrection in Action
Resurrection in ActionJohn 10:22-30Father Mark opens by highlighting the powerful shepherd imagery found throughout the day’s readings, especially in the Gospel of John where Jesus declares Himself the Good Shepherd. He draws a parallel between the failed shepherds—leaders of ancient Israel who neglected their people—and both religious and political leaders in Jesus’ day who ignored society’s most vulnerable. Jesus assumes the role of true shepherd, offering protection, eternal life, and care for those who follow His voice.This theme of shepherd-like care conti...

Joining the Worship of the Cosmos—Part 4: Creation as a Portal to God
But our souls feel the sensory deprivation of contemporary worship experiences and they long to return to the spiritual play of sensory-rich liturgy. And for many worshippers the call of the senses is moving them out of the Church altogether and back into nature where the senses can feast open divine glory at every turn. And while those who are invested in the Church as an institution may view the choice of creation over Church as apostasy, it’s really the opposite. It is a return, in Spirit and truth, to extravagant worship of the God who is everywhere an...

Joining the Worship of the Cosmos—Part 3: Becoming Part of Creation’s Chorus
Theologically, creation is, as Richard Rohr teaches, the first incarnation. The Cosmos is filled with the divine presence and spirit and is an embodiment of the divine consciousness and life. It owes its life to God, and as every part of the creation, individually and together, expresses their life, so they reflect and honour the Divine nature and goodness. It may not be a personal and intentional expression of praise, adoration, thanksgiving, awe, wonder, and communion as we would know it. But there is a sense in which the Cosmos does experience union or intimacy with the divine and...

Joining the Worship of the Cosmos—Part 2: Communing with Creation as Worship
Although there is always benefit from spending time in nature, in our busy and stressful lives, it can be easy to move through creation blindly, with little awareness of the beauty and life around us and with no real connection to the Earth. That’s why it can be helpful to bring a liturgical approach to our time in the natural world. What this means is that we can help ourselves to be more mindful, open, and receptive to creation when we use the same movements and practices in communing with nature as we would in a worship service. Do...

Joining the Worship of the Cosmos—Part 1: How Creation Teaches Us To Worship
Human beings are of the Earth. We are born of the Earth and we return to the Earth when we die. Genesis speaks of humankind being created from the dust of the Earth and on Ash Wednesday we remember this with the words “From dust you came and to dust you will return” as we place the ashen cross on our foreheads. And finally, we rely on the Earth for our survival. The Earth feeds us, clothes, us, shelters us, and provides us with the air and water we need. When we recognise how deep...

God, Gender, and Worship—Part 5: Beyond Gender
Our spirituality and sexuality may be inseparably linked, but they are not the only things about us that are inseparably linked. We are all complex, magnificent, multi-faceted creatures and we are each an intricate network of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual elements that connect and combine in infinite ways and shape who we are, how we understand and experience the world, how we relate to others, and how we connect with God. In this episode of The Progressive Worship Podcast we explore what it would mean for us to honour and value our complex...

God, Gender, and Worship—Part 4: The Patriarchy Problem
Patriarchy is so entrenched in our culture and minds that we automatically view anything else as wrong, abhorrent, or even evil. Yet the injustice perpetrated by patriarchy is the true evil. You do’t have to look far to see the control, abuse, and rejection that many women, LGBTQIA+ and non-binary people have experienced in patriarchal churches. So, if we seek a world of peace, justice, and love, we need to remove the influence of patriarchy in our communities. And to do that, we need to ensure that our worship stops promoting and legitimising patriarchal values, ideals, and attitudes....

God, Gender, and Worship—Part 3: Watch Your Language
The first question that is asked of every one us at birth (sometimes after making sure we’re healthy, but often not) is whether we are a boy or girl. But we now know that many—perhaps even most—of us don’t fit neatly into these two genders. And the expectations imposed on us seldom support our healthiest and most meaningful lives. Being human just doesn’t work according these limited, rigid, and predictable classifications. This is extremely important, especially in the Church, which is called to follow Christ’s way of love and justice. And we need to become in...

God, Gender, and Worship—Part 2: Sexuality in Four Dimensions
When we consider all of this diversity in our cosmos, it is safe to say that variety is a central characteristic of the divine work of creation. Isn’t it strange, then that, when it comes to gender and sexuality, most of us believe that there are only two options—male and female? And isn’t it just as strange that we would limit our capacity for love to just one acceptable way—a single, heterosexual relationship with a human of a different sex for life. It’s no wonder so few of us succeed in living up to this rathe...

God, Gender, and Worship—Part 1: The Gender of God
How we understand gender and how we experience ourselves as gendered beings shape our view of the world, our reading of Scripture, and our understanding of God. Traditionally, the Church has prioritised, heterosexual, cisgendered experience over all others. But what have we lost in the process? And what might we gain if we were to open our liturgies, our language, our understanding, and our experience to a wider, more diverse, and more creative perspective on gender—with regard to both our human selves and our relationship with God?

Dream Bigger
When we read Biblical prophecies and visions, we are not being asked to interpret them literally and try to predict some pre-determined future by them. We are being challenged to allow their vision to capture our hearts and empower us to build the future they describe here among us. They aren’t telling us what will happen. They are telling us what could happen if we will only dream bigger and give ourselves to creating the world they envision. They’re saying, ‘What if?’ And asking ‘Can you believe it enough to live toward it?’ In this ep...

To do worship and mission effectively, we need to know who we are as Church. And we need to protect and nurture this identity—not in a self-serving, defensive way. But in the sense that we are Church because the world needs Church.

Embodying the Divine
The ultimate foundation for all talk about missions in the Church is Christ’s mission to reveal God and God’s reign to us. And at the heart of Christ’s mission is incarnation. Christ became human, lived with us, embrace our humanity, and showed us that God is not off watching us from a distance but is with us, among us, around us, and within us. And so the heart of all the work of service and mission in the Church should be the incarnation—Christ’s incarnation for us, and Christ’s incarnation in us and in those whom w...

How do we worship in a world of pain, polarisation, and poverty? Is there any relationship between what we do in Church and what happens in the world? Should there be some connection between them? One of the challenges we face as people of faith is that we live with deep grief at the world. We have a longing, a desire for a world of peace, justice, and love. But we also live with a sense of overwhelm at the size of the challenges we face in our world and at the feeling that t...

The Noble Pursuit of Pleasure
Spirituality can often be used to rob us of pleasure and joy. When that happens, the result is an ascetic faith, a faith that is cold, dry, lifeless, and destructive. But when we embrace pleasure in a healthy way, it's life-giving. And many spiritual movements in history began from an ecstatic experience. In this episode of The Progressive Worship Podcast we explore how ecstasy and pleasure can be life-giving and part of a healthy spirituality.

It's a Celebration
Celebration is more than just an excuse to throw a party, especially when we think of celebration as a spiritual practice. When we celebrate, we are embracing joy, gratitude, and connection. We're making a conscious choice to recognise and appreciate beauty, goodness, and truth. We're affirming life and our ability to find hope and meaning in the face of challenges, and we're reminding ourselves of our shared humanity and of the interconnectedness of all things. In this episode of The Progressive Worship Podcast we explore how to nurture a healthy practice of celebration.

Getting Lost in Wonder
A life without wonder is a life without energy, joy, beauty, and a sense of vibrant aliveness. But, with a little bit of intentionality and care, there is no reason for us to live that way. Our world is pregnant with wonder at every turn. We just have to be open, aware, and free enough to recognise and respond to wonder when we encounter it. And, when it’s well crafted and facilitated, worship can help us to make opening to wonder a consistent and life-giving habit in our lives. In this episode of Th...

How Looking Back Moves Us Forwards
Too often the Church is seen as an organisation that clings to a long lost past and refuses to engage the present world in any meaningful way. Its rituals and liturgies are often viewed as a desperate remembering that leads to stagnation and drains us of life. Perhaps that’s why so much of contemporary spirituality is focused on living in the present. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Easter Is More Than Nostalgia
We all long to live fully and meaningfully while we’re alive. But what we forget is that abundant life includes death. Every life is a series of experiences of deep and vibrant life, followed by some kind of little death, which is then followed by a new experience of life. And, while this truth is at the heart of Easter, it can be difficult to connect the realities of our daily lives with the Easter idea of resurrection.

We recognise that we need to remember the past because it continues to shape and guide our future, and so we work intentionally to make sure we don’t forget. Every culture and nation makes use of public holidays and monuments to remember moments in their collective history and these acts of remembering have a profound impact on us both as individuals and as a collective.

Collective Repentance
In the last few weeks, we’ve been doing a deep dive into repentance as an act of worship and of transforming spirituality. And now, as we wrap this series up, we explore an aspect of repentance that isn’t often recognised or practiced. Repentance is much more than an act of personal piety. The prophets of Israel often called their people as a whole to repent together. Unfortunately, as Christianity has become more personalised and individualised, we have shifted away from collective, justice-oriented spirituality and become increasingly concerned with personal salvation and purity. But the prophets remind us that...

Opening to Others
What if repentance is not just a personal practice to make us “right with God”? Jesus connected repentance with God’s reign—and that means it has a role to play in community, in our relationships with one another. And it is designed to help us to be more aware of each other, to heal us of our inherent narcissism and grow our capacity for empathy, compassion, and generosity. Repentance, then, is a highly social practice and how we practice it impacts not just us, but our families, friends, and neighbours—and even the strangers and enemies around us. ...

Knowing Ourselves
Too much repentance focusses on what we do wrong, on our sinfulness and unworthiness. But beyond confession and receiving forgiveness, it offers us little motivation or direction to actually change anything in our lives. For repentance to do its work, it needs to help us to see where we need to change but also where we are already doing well. It needs to offer us some practical guidelines for how we can change what needs to change and nurture what is already good. And it needs to empower us to know ourselves better in healthy and empowering ways.

Changing Paradigms
Traditionally repentance is often seen in terms of acknowledging our sins or our sinfulness and committing to not sinning again. When we limit repentance to this narrow focus, it can seem like a rather depressing discipline. It may feel like, to be truly spiritual and good, we should view ourselves rather negatively and spend a lot of time feeling guilty, bad, and worthless. The practice of repentance is so much more than this and it is actually a wonderfully positive, encouraging, and liberating spiritual discipline.

The world is a large, undefined thing. So it’s easy to say we love the world, but it’s very hard to know how to engage in loving actions toward the world.

Why Worship Should Teach You To Love Yourself
Loving ourselves is not something we speak about when we talk about worship. It may even seem contradictory. But the lack of this element in our worship is one of the big challenges of worship in the Church today. If our worship doesn’t teach us to love ourselves, it fails us. It denies the Gospel message that God loves us unconditionally. And it makes it far more difficult for us to bring our gifts and love into the world, because our capacity to love others is inseparably intertwined with our capacity to love ourselves. Fo...

At the heart of the Christian faith is the Great Commandment to love God and love our neighbour as we love ourselves. And yet, somehow, Christianity is not really known as a religion of love.

I’ve even been told by some people that reading the Bible all the way through has caused them to experience a crisis of faith. It’s unfortunate that many of us were never told that the Bible is a library of books. It was written by many different authors...

Episode 32: The Bible as a Map
Have you ever considered that the Bible evolved? It didn’t fall from heaven in the form which we now know. It had a long and complex history, passing through many hands and being influenced by many minds and circumstances. And this evolution is an integral part of its richness. Because of its history, the Bible offers us a map of human history and of the human quest for authentic spirituality. It is not the only map—it is one among many. But it is a valuable map of the terrain that we must all navigate in our...

Episode 31: Pray to Serve
What if prayer doesn’t really ‘work’? What if it was never meant to, or at least, not in the way we usually think? What if speaking prayers of supplication is just one small element of a much larger and more significant expression of prayer? In this week’s episode of the EvoFaith Podcast, we tackle the last letter in the old prayer acronym, ACTS—the ’S’ for supplication. We explore why some of our traditional ideas about supplication aren’t helping us anymore, if they ever were. We go back to the Bible to recover some of what Jesus ta...

Episode 30: Pray to Become Thoughtful
There is a lot that has been written about giving thanks. We are told to count our ‘blessings’ and we are sold ideas about thankfulness that would seem to make giving thanks the answer to all our problems. But perhaps you’ve struggled with thanksgiving as we’ve been navigating a whole combination of crises in our world. Or maybe you’ve experienced someone saying thank you in a way that didn’t feel truly grateful or appreciative. The truth is that not all thanksgiving is created equal. What does thanksgiving mean to you? What difference could a meaningful...

Episode 29: Pray to Change
Have you ever encountered a person who leaves hurt and destruction in their wake but refuses to acknowledge any need for change because they simply ask God for forgiveness? Have you ever been tempted to confess difficult issues in your life as a way to overcome the guilt and regret you feel without needing to actually do anything? Confession and its partner, repentance, can be powerful practices for transformation and growth. But too often they are separated from each other and confession is used as a way to avoid any need for change. And that’s why, in...

Episode 28: Pray to Become Aware
When our view of God changes, it affects how and why we pray. One of the hardest parts of deconstructing our faith is that we lose the comfort and security that praying to an interventionist God can bring. And that can mean that we lose the gift of prayer altogether. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we are willing to embrace an evolutionary approach to prayer, we can discover a whole new richness and power in a renewed prayer practice. In this episode, I begin a new conversation about prayer from an evolutionary pe...

Episode 27: What Scientists Can Teach Us About God
You have to choose, or so we’re told. The stakes are high. There are eternal consequences riding on our decision. And there is no middle ground. On the one hand, there is the Bible, faith, and God. On the other, there is science, atheism, and rejecting God. But is this really the only way to frame the relationship between spirituality and the sciences? I don’t think so. It is sad that people of faith have been pressured to reject the awe-inspiring discoveries of the sciences. And it is sad that people of science have been pict...

We may be tempted to think of mystics as special, super-spiritual people who reach heights of devotion and ecstasy beyond anything that normal people like us could hope for. We may feel that there is little we can learn from mystics as we try to build a spiritual life in the midst of our chaotic world. But mysticism is nothing more than knowing God, Transcendence, or the More through our own personal experience. And this capacity for experiential knowing is in us all.

When you want to connect more deeply with God, when you want to learn more about God, where do you go? Most of us go to trusted and well-known spiritual teachers. We seek out those who fit into our own spiritual framework and with whom we share a similar set of beliefs. We look for those who will affirm our faith and lead us into a deeper confidence in what we already believe.

The word ‘fundamentalism’ is often associated with toxic religions and even religious terrorism. As a result, most of us would feel that fundamentalists have little or nothing to teach us about God. We may even be tempted to quote John Wesley’s famous words to George Whitefield: “Your God is my devil!” But perhaps there are some important things to learn from these ‘true believers.’ Perhaps their view of God as sovereign and in control has something to teach us, even if we see God very differently.

In the last few months, we’ve explored three pillars of authentic spirituality: loving ourselves, loving others, and loving the world. Now we shift to the final pillar which is loving God. But to do this, we need to have some idea of who it is that we’re loving. We need to learn abou...

It also means being aware of our deep connectedness with the Earth and learning to be more intentional about nurturing that connection.

Episode 21: Being Careful of What We Consume
It’s easy to express words of love. But, as we know, love is most powerfully expressed through action. When we love someone, we automatically act in the best interest of our beloved. We want to protect them, care for them, and do whatever we can to ensure that their life is as rich and full as possible. If we claim to love the Earth, then that love too should be expressed in actions of care, protection, and enrichment. And one of the most basic ways we can love the world practically is through living more simply an...

To truly love something or someone we have to get to know them. The same is true for loving our world. Until we get to know the Earth and the life that fills it, we can never really love it. But our increasingly technology-driven lives often keep us from a deep, loving connection with the natural world that sustains us.

Authentic spirituality always leads us to be more deeply connected—with ourselves, others, the world, and God.

There is so much in our world that is magical, wonderful, and awe-inspiring. When we miss it, we don’t only lose our capacity to love the world. We lose our souls.

When we face the struggle of a polarised world, a world at war, a world with huge gaps between rich and poor, we may think that Jesus was naive about putting so much emphasis on love. It can be tempting to believe that lovers get crushed under the violence of our world and that we have to be fighters if we are to survive. But I can’t let go of the conviction that our richest, best, most meaningful life can only be found in the realm of Love, with a capital ‘L’. Yes, you can survive without love, but yo...

It's strange that for so many people, faith and religion have become about answers, certainties, and attempts to make this unpredictable world predictable. That was not the faith that Jesus lived or taught. On the contrary, Jesus loved questions and mystery and constantly invited people into a life beyond answers and certainties.
