#10 “Love as the underpinning logic of the universe” with Elizabeth Oldfield

“It is not an easy thing to believe in this bleeding world, that love is the trajectory that we’re on, that love is calling us home.” Yet love is what Elizabeth Oldfield, Host of the Sacred Podcast, and former director of the Theos think-tank, has tried to build her world on. Join  Jack and Stan as they speak with Elizabeth about her new book, Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times, and what it means to live generously, and fully, with others, in a world evermore disillusioned and divided.  

#9 Liberalism and the search for a higher language of inspiration with Ethan Taylor

Jack and Stan speak with Ethan Taylor, a Warumungu man and a political theory student at Oxford, asking big questions about First Nations justice and liberal reform.

Can liberalism, on its own, sustain us, or must our roots be elsewhere – in society, the sacred, or somewhere else altogether? Join us for this conversation across the generations.

Countdown to the Referendum on the Voice to Parliament

This panel discussion co-hosted by Yindyamarra Nguluway at Charles Sturt University and the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, focused on the key issues informing this week’s referendum.
