  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with the co-hosts of The Missiology Podcast, Martin Rodriguez and Greg McKinzie to discuss mission. They discuss how the churches have been affected by modernity, and how mission needs to change. Sharing the disorientation they encounter among church leaders, they explore the tension between missiological scholarship and relationships with real people. And, drawing on their conversations with missiologists and missionaries, as well as their own missional experience - in South America, China and the United States - in prisons, with the homeless, and in their own neighbourhoods - Martin and Greg share how their grounded relationships shape what they know about justice.

    Martin Rodriguez is Family Life Minister at the Hollywood Church of Christ in Hollywood, and served as a missionary in China mentoring emerging leaders and planting churches. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Practical Theology at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California. Martin also holds an MDiv from Fuller Theological Seminary and a degree in Religion and International Studies from Pepperdine University, California. He is also a content editor of Missio Dei: A Journal of Missional Theology and Praxis, a member of the team at missiology.com and co-host of The Missiology Podcast.

    Greg McKinzie is the Missions Minister of the Stones River Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, an affiliate assistant professor at Fuller Theological Seminary and the executive editor of Missio Dei: A Journal of Missional Theology and Praxis. He is the lead administrator of missiology.com and co-host of The Missiology Podcast. He holds a PhD in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary and served in Peru as a partner in holistic evangelism with Team Arequipa and The Christian Urban Development Association. Greg holds an MDiv from Harding School of Theology, Tennessee, and a BA in missions from Harding University, Arizona.

  • Alan Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Sally Mann about her life in community in the East End of London in the UK, where her family has lived for six generations. Sally tells the story of Bonny Downs Baptist Church where she is one of the pastoral team of five, all of whom are co-vocational. The team shares a single stipend, a model that came out of shared living – what she describes as “lived hospitality.” Sally describes her love for her community and the transformative work Bonny Downs is doing in a place that many consider a slum. Rather than having “a five year plan”, they find that by listening to God and their neighbours, their abandoned places are being restored for the sake of the common good. Sally says her thinking shifted when she began to take seriously that Jesus is from Nazareth, a poor hillside village, and this has opened up a way of living a life of true freedom.

    Dr Sally Mann is a minister at Bonny Downs Baptist Church where she is the fourth of six generations of her family to serve in their East End London community. Also an author and community activist, Sally lectures in Sociology and has a PhD in Philosophy and Theology. She is actively involved in Red Letter Christians, and is one of the original team who launched it in the UK. She has published Looking for Lydia: encounters that shape the church, reflecting on 25 years of ministry in London through the stories of encounters in Acts.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with John van Sloten about his experience of God’s “common grace” after more than twenty-five years as a pastor in Calgary, Canada. John shares how the dyslexia he was born with has been used by the Spirit to help him recognize and engage God’s presence and agency in creation and nature. He talks about stepping away from a more traditional pastoral ministry and how he is now leaning into a theology of encounter and “church without walls'', discovering God at work in unexpected places, like city hall and a multinational corporation.

    John Van Sloten is a community theologian and writer who lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His passion is to know God more. For the past 20 years he’s been exploring a worldview that seeks to discern God's voice in all things: the Bible and creation (i.e. the arts, sport, science, film, music, literature, history, mathematics, nature and human nature). His first book, The Day Metallica Came to Church: Seeing the Everywhere God in Everything (2010), listens for God's whispers in pop culture. His second book, Every Job a Parable; What Walmart Greeters, Nurses and Astronauts tell us about God (2017), listens for God's words at work. His latest book is God Speaks Science (2023). John is a regular columnist with the Calgary Herald.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Phillip Ullmann about his insights into how our economic systems need to be reordered for the common good. Phillip shares his own personal journey as a business entrepreneur and how “the Bible has opened up to me in the last three years in a way that has blown my mind.” Invited to riff on the “Leaving Egypt” theme, Phillip talks about Egypt by starting with Joseph in the closing chapters of Genesis, recognising parallels to our contemporary unravelling. He continues into the book of Exodus, noting that in “the manna story” and other parts of the narrative, God is saying there is another way to structure our economic system to look after people and the planet.

    Phillip Ullmann is a devout Orthodox Jew inspired by the Torah, and a leading social business entrepreneur with a track record of building disruptive business models. His deep knowledge of Scripture fuels his passion for economic reform to serve the interests of people, communities and the natural world. He is Chief Energiser of Cordant Group, the UK’s second largest recruitment and services firm. In 2017, he redefined Cordant as a social business, and in 2020, it was sold to Twenty20 Investors. He then set up Covenant Advisory, an independent consultancy helping businesses on their journey to social purpose. Phillip has an Engineering degree from Cambridge University, an MBA from Brunel and is a qualified Chartered Accountant.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair begin their conversation with Xenia Chan by talking about her experience of growing up in an “ethnoburb” of Toronto, Canada. Speaking both Cantonese and English, Xenia then reflects on the unravelling taking place across our societies from the perspective of a Chinese-Canadian doing doctoral studies in Jeremiah and Lamentations. Her PhD is addressing a kind of pastoral angst alongside Jeremiah as she explores the upheaval happening in the Canadian churches. Xenia talks about her experience as a pastor, her personal prayer life, and how she is trying to “restitch” her neighbourhood.

    Xenia Chan is the daughter of diaspora settlers from Hong Kong. Having been raised in a Chinese Canadian Protestant church, she has also ministered in different, multi-ethnic contexts in five urban areas. A doctoral student at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto, she is studying the Old Testament. The church plant she is part of, Selah Community Church, brings her much joy and hope. Along with Shu, Bernard, and Jon, Xenia also co-hosts the Canadian Asian Missional Podcast (C.A.M.P.) and some of her writing can be found at her blog, The Space Between (see links below).

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Bill Cavanaugh about how, as Christians, we might understand the shifting and disruption of our times. Bill proposes that rather than reading the signs through the lens of secularisation, we should think in terms of “the migration of the holy”. He contends that the holy has migrated to the immanent categories of contemporary life in, for example, our captivity by money, consumerism, or the big tech oligarchs. In doing so, he gives us a helpful way of engaging the unravelling and understanding the nature of our modern “Egypt”.

    William T. Cavanaugh is Professor of Catholic Studies and Director of the Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology at DePaul University in Chicago. A widely-published theologian specialising in political theology and ecclesiology, he is the recipient of the 2023 Cortelyou-Lowery Award. Heavily influenced by working in the slums of Santiago, Chile under the military dictatorship, his work involves mentoring and support for under-resourced scholars and practitioners across the Global South. His work is concerned with the social implications of Catholic social doctrine and the Church’s social and political presence in situations of violence and economic injustice.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Roy Searle about his work in leading Christian communities over many decades. From anabaptist communities to monastic movements like the Northumbria community, Roy has witnessed most of the dynamic shifts in churches across the UK. He is equally at home with existing congregations and pioneers experimenting with ways of participating in the mission of God as current systems of church are going through a time of rapid change. In this wide ranging conversation Roy addresses the unravelling of the churches but, more importantly, points to places where he sees the Spirit is gestating fresh movements of God’s life.

    Roy Searle is a companion, and one of the founders, of the Northumbria Community. He also serves as a mentor, spiritual director and worship leader and has worked as a consultant, associate and adviser. His interests include leadership, missiology, new monasticism, Celtic spirituality, and post-Christendom culture. He works ecumenically and has served in various aspects of denominational ministry and is a former President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. Roy teaches at several colleges and specialises in pioneering and spiritual formation. Roy lives in Northumberland, UK.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Matt Petrusek about the cultural challenges confronting Christian life. At a time when the culture of Self is so dominant and notions of truth are dissolving, Matt makes a clear analysis of the tragedy unfolding, but also gives profound reasons for hope in the alternative story rooted in God’s Word. Drawing on the Catholic intellectual tradition, his incisive scholarship and deep humanism models a form of evangelical apologetics that can shape a radical new kind of Christian life in the “Egypt” in which we find ourselves.

    Professor Matthew Petrusek is the Senior Director and Professor of Catholic Ethics at the Word on Fire Institute in the US, Bishop Robert Barron's evangelisation ministry. He writes and lectures on philosophical and theological ethics, Christian theology, politics, social issues and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. His work is dedicated to show the relevance and prophetic nature of Catholic thought to a wide audience in as much clarity as possible, and in the context of a society that has lost its way.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Tim Wray about the social, economic and personal challenges of farming and being a person of kingdom commitment.Tim is in his early forties. He is a bi-vocational Lutheran pastor and farmer in Alberta, Canada. Along with his wife, Joanne and their three children they manage a cattle herd and a small flock of sheep. Coming from a family of farmers, Tim is dedicated to a deep relationship with land. As a Christian, he is involved in regenerative practices and is a member of Alberta’s Regenerative Agriculture Lab. As part of his formation as a Christian leader, Tim has been influenced by Catholic Social Teaching. He is part of a generation of farmers who see how human relationships with the land are being profoundly changed by land financialization. As large agglomerations take over land ownership, the family farm is threatened with extinction. The conversation with Tim explores ways in which he is acting to overcome this Egypt and imagine an alternative to the commodification of land.

  • Hannah Vaughan-Spruce shares with Jenny and Al what she’s seeing across Catholic parishes in the UK as they join with one another and friends from Divine Renovation in looking at questions of renewal and mission. In these partnerships, local congregations are exploring ways the Holy Spirit wants to weave new life and mission amongst them. We encounter Hannah’s genuine enthusiasm for what she is seeing, along with her wisdom in assisting leaders to listen well to their people and the Spirit.

    Hannah is the national coordinator of the Divine Renovation movement in the UK and her ministry involves helping Catholic parishes, priests and lay leaders move from maintenance to mission. She is currently undertaking PhD research on parish culture and evangelisation and is an experienced catechist. Hannah is a consecrated virgin of the Archdiocese of Southwark and is sensitive to the delicate balance between respecting hierarchy and empowering lay leaders, unity in the Church, the role of the local parish, and the importance of community.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Karen Reed. Karen lives in Vancouver, Canada. After pastoring for over twenty years at a large city church, and fulfilling a range of senior leadership positions, Karen took the risk twelve years ago to live as an urban worker, joining with what God is doing in East Vancouver, one of the most unchurched neighbourhoods in Canada. She lives an intentionally shared life in a 100 year old, six bedroom house, as a base to seek the flourishing of her community.

    Jenny and Al talk with Karen about her deliberate choice to reorder her life, and how she moved out of pastoral ministry to becoming centred in her neighbourhood. Karen shares how this move came about and her commitment to radical hospitality. Together, Al, Jenny and Karen explore how Karen became a neighbour in her community and what she is discovering about being a follower of Jesus with her neighbours.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Graham and Mairi McBain about their ministry in Hartlepool, UK. Graham and Mairi are Community Ministers, based out of Headland Baptist Church. Rather than pastors in the sense of leading congregations, they are “joining in” with God in the life of the community, intentionally not aiming to take over, lead or preach to. Graham was a Baptist minister for many years and Mairi trained in the field of human resources and later for ministry. But both of them experienced another kind of call which would take them from established forms of church leadership to walking alongside people who find themselves on the edges of community.

  • In this episode Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair are in conversation with Avril Baigent, from Northampton in the UK. Avril works with parishes and leaders as they adjust to deep change in the church. Sometimes it's too easy to characterize what's going on in local congregations in terms of struggle and decline. But much more is happening. Across many churches there’s something stirring - Christians coming together to listen and discern the activity of the Spirit in their communities. Avril shares stories about the synodality* movement in the Catholic Church, what she sees happening on the ground and what it is that makes this new energy so significant.

    Avril is Pastoral Ministry Advisor for the Diocese of Northampton in the UK, developing chaplaincy and new forms of lay ministry. She is also co-director of the School for Synodality, which promotes *synodality (an ancient Catholic practice; meaning 'walking together with the Holy Spirit'), a posture of listening, currently being re-introduced as a new practice across the Catholic Church globally. Avril is studying for a PhD at Durham University in youth ministry and helps out in her parish as a musician and children’s liturgy leader.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet with Nick Graves, pastor of Old Lodge Lane Baptist Church, in Purley, South London (UK). Nick talks about his experience of the unraveling in his local community and his church, and how becoming more attentive to the movement of the Holy Spirit in the local changed everything. He describes how being with neighbours and listening to God through them not only transformed his leadership, but also the relationship between the congregation and the local community.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet Mark Lau Branson (Pasadena, California USA) to reflect on the concrete ways he has borne witness to the Gospel in his community and multi-ethnic church in a disruptive society. Mark has a unique gift of connecting the local with the broader changes in society. He is a Senior Professor of Practical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, serves as Senior Community Engagement Strategist on the Advisory Board of CHERP Solar Works, and participates in his local church. Jenny and Al chat with Mark about his sense of the unraveling, and we get a picture of how this looks in the cultures and the churches across the USA. Further, Mark describes how his own multi-cultural church has been working at being a people of God in their communities.

  • Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Mary Publicover and Barry Jung about their experiences of the unraveling in their local communities and explore their stories about how genuine community is being formed where they live. Mary lives in Birmingham (UK) where she is deeply involved with Rowheath Pavilion Church, Bournville. With several others, she’s established and co-hosts a Place of Welcome. Mary is a Companion of the Northumbria Community and was managing editor for ten years at the Journal of Missional Practice. Barry is a member of Granville Chapel, an established congregation in a central part of Vancouver (Canada). Several years ago, as a layperson, Barry realized there was little connection between his Christian life and the neighbourhood in which he lives. He began some small experiments in being with the people of his community. Out of these experiments came a whole new understanding of Christian life beyond going to church.

  • Alan J Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair introduce and discuss their vision for Leaving Egypt and what brought them to start this podcast together. Al talks about his own formation growing up in a non-religious environment then seeking to shape church life as a pastor, a teacher and a consultant to churches, leaders and denominations around the world. Jenny recounts her own growing up within the church, her wrestling with Christian life and her conversation of Catholicism where she encountered the powerful framework of Catholic Social Teaching that led to her work today. From within their very different journeys, they share their convictions about how God continues His work of reweaving the frail threads of our lives even in the midst of crises and disruption.
