Morze możliwości#033 Kanon jako źródło buntu i podejrzana kultura wellnessSzwedzki kanon kultury – projekt nacjonalistyczny, czy uniwersalistyczny? Zmieni wszystko, czy zostanie w ciągu kilku tygodni zapomniany? Dlaczego poza książkami i innymi dziełami kultury są w nim także prawa i wynalazki oraz szwedzka zasada jawności? Dlaczego jego powstaniu sprzeciwiała się sama Akademia Szwedzka?! I czy to nie dziwne, że pracowano nad nim przez trzy lata, kosztował 8 milionów koron, a w formie papierowej wydano kanonu 5000 sztuk (w kraju liczącym sobie 10 milionów ludzi to jednak mało). Jak doszło do tego, że w projekcie wspieranym mocno przez nacjonalistycznych i konserwatywnych Szwedzkich Demokratów jest dużo...

Pivot PodcastReframing Evangelism: Following Jesus into Sorrow with Andy Root (Part 1)Many church leaders feel caught between uncomfortable extremes when it comes to how to evangelize - either instrumental strategies that feel manipulative or avoiding evangelism altogether out of fear it will drive people away. In this episode, Luther Seminary professor Andy Root offers a third way through his new book "Evangelism in an Age of Despair." Andy shows how to evangelize through what he calls "a theology of consolation" - recognizing that the caring relationships churches naturally build actually constitute authentic evangelism when grounded in the conviction that Jesus Christ is present in our shared sorrows.Rather...
