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/pu/pbblog-55jgq-d27d09","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","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-55jgq-d27d09-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fmrslion.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog13794569%26podcastIdTag%3D55jgq&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fmrslion.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","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 Mark tells us about his wonderful book of the same name as our title - Jesus Through Pagan Eyes. it's half written by him and half in the form of interviews with Pagans who love the teachings of Jesus; Christianity not so much (and we're both on board with that).

Foreword by Dr Matthew Fox.

Fascinating stuff!
