Holy Sh*t

Holy Sh*t. Episode 20: The World, the Flesh and the Devil.

It's not God who decides who is a sinner; it's society. Think about it: each culture has its own idea of what is sin and what is not. Most agree that theft or murder are sins but when it comes to other 'sins of the flesh' - or physical human body sins, it depends entirely on the system. And when the system thinks it's God...

Holy Sh*t. Episode 19: The Love of Money

St. Paul had his moments ... and then he had his other moments... And then the translators came along...
We all know the phrase 'money is the root of all evil.' Some of us know that it's more accurately 'the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.' Both those translations are somewhat inaccurate. What was written in 1. Timothy is really rather beautiful and gives us much food for thought.
In a world that currently worships Mammon, healing our relationship with money is vital.

Holy Sh*t. Episode 18: Grace In Unexpected Places

Have you ever anticipated a really difficult conversation or event and spent ages working out how to get through it, only to find that it wasn't a problem at all? 
Or have there been times when a blessing simply arrived out of the blue? That's Grace—and it just LOVES to turn up when it's least expected.
Mark has a wonderful story to tell...

Holy Sh*t Episode 17: Narcissists to Nature

Today's question is 'how did humanity get where we are?' looking at the world stage of emerging fascism. There is clearly a narcissist in the place of the 'leader of the free world' so how did we (and that includes us all) attract that situation into our lives - because the whole world is being impacted.
Maybe, to find the answer, we have to look at the concept of karma and the way we treat our planet...

Holy Sh*t Episode 16: Jesus. the Eunuchs and Who Gets to Use the Loo.

Today we're responding to the UK Supreme Court's ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law - and what Jesus might have to say about transgender folk, sex, genitals and - most importantly - whether it's right to react from societal beliefs or whether we could actually try and access our souls.

Holy Sh*t. Episode 15: We're Too Tired To Show Up.

Today, Maggy looks at the parable of the wealthy man who invites his friends to a feast. They have better things to do than show up - and they all have totally legitimate excuses.
Where are we not showing up? And are our excuses legitimate - or are we just too tired? And if that's the case then why, in a world where we can access anything we need are we just getting more and more tired?

Holy Sh*t. Episode 14: Whatever You Do To The Least Of These...

Mark's turn to focus on one of Jesus' most powerful sayings: That anything we do, good or bad is done to the Divine Itself. We are co-creators with God and we make the world that we live in.
It's just as valid to pull ourselves up on the things we DON'T do which could be good...
 

Holy Sh*t Episode 13: Who Turns Up To The Feast?

One of Jesus's many challenging parables is the story of the wealthy man who invites guests to a banquet. They are too busy (with credible excuses) to attend...
Today Maggy is feeling a bit like the one giving out the invitations ... we look at the humility of offering whether or not the people wish to come. 

Holy Sh*t Episode 12: Nasty, Brutish and ... very, very long

Today Mark continues with his marathon Bible reading. He's currently wrestling with St. Paul and gives a masterly summing up of the Hebrew and New Testaments so far...

Holy Sh*t. Episode 11: Self-Care In A Time Of Tyranny.

It's Maggy this week as Mark has important Grandfather duties. Today we look at the importance of taking care of ourselves in the various sh*t storms going on in the world today.
Only if you take good care of yourself are you balanced and strong to take good care of the other.
