{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Train Wrecks for Jesus","slug":"mrslion","podcastDescription":"Revs. Mark Townsend and Maggy Whitehouse are both ordained vicars ... and self-confessed f**k ups for Jesus. From spoonerisms at weddings, through breakdowns, divorce, failed emigration, shark attack (truly!) and back down to everyday stupidity and forgetfulness, we’ve lived and worked with the humiliation of failure for most of our lives. \nBut every time we have fallen short, Grace and goodness have been the result even if it has only been the justified reduction of our egos. And this is our message - that it’s okay to be a Christian catastrophe (or any other kind of catastrophe for that matter). In fact, it’s pretty much essential in order to understand what Jesus was all about.\nToday we share some of our stories, have some laughs and we hope you will join us in future sessions by sharing your own f**k ups for Jesus (or Buddha or Krishna or ... or ... or).\nRemember, the cracks are where the light can get in.\nPLEASE NOTE: ABUNDANT USE OF THE F-WORD.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/13794569/WhitehouseTownsend_thb8dh.jpeg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/13794569/WhitehouseTownsend_thb8dh_1200x628.jpg?s=8aecf4c40837d1cc2a8d6f00c13114dd&e=jpeg","podcastUrl":"https://mrslion.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/mrslion/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-55jgq-d27d09?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":30,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+00:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":0,"text":"(GMT+00:00) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London","daylightStartTime":"Last Sunday of March +1 Hours","daylightEndTime":"Last Sunday Of October +1 Hours","timezone":"Europe/London"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":80,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"mrslion","enableEngagementStats":false,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-55jgq-d27d09-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-55jgq-d27d09?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/762P2GysvEAVGJ6OSvAJzn","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/09371c83-ab01-4c0a-88e7-8448d98a9ef5","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

Today we talk about the nature of the immortal soul - whether it IS immortal, what it gets up to when we die and whether we come back again and again or not. And illusion - what is illusory? Is the whole world an illusion, like the Matrix? And how shall we f**k off, O Lord? :-D
