Different with Steve Chalke and Jill Rowe
We’d like to introduce you to a new podcast. It’s called Different. But why different?
You know how when you’re wearing sunglasses it puts a tint on everything? Or if you wear glasses you see some things in focus and others out of focus?
Well, we all have lenses on the inside of our head too. And they tint, colour and shape everything we see, think and understand.
So, on this podcast Steve Chalke and Jill Rowe are going to dive headlong into just that as they discover a new ‘meaning making’ story and embrace a fresh way of thinking about life, the universe and everything in-between.
They will talk about getting to a place where we see our lives as part of something bigger than our day-to-day experience - becoming a part of an unfolding story. Finding joy in ordinary moments, facing failure and struggle and discovering liberation and purpose.
They’ll also discuss experiencing life as a gift and learning how to live on purpose. They’ll be peering into dark nights of the soul and finding hope. And simply learning how we are here to walk each home.
We hope you enjoy these conversations – discovering a new story and embracing new thinking.
This podcast is powered by Oasis. Edited and mixed by Matteo Magariello. Produced by Peter Kerwood.
