In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke all about the wonder of ambiguity, starting from observing a Spanish Town Square in a power cut, all the way to how we can develop the ability to find our way in the dark when we aren't feeling sure at all. So much of life is navigated in ambiguity. So together, we chat about how we can grow to not despise it, but welcome it and see it all as a creative invitation. We realize once more, the anchor of vision and see the truth that we don't need to know everything to take the next step. We just need to know enough and we also need enough foolishness to believe that we can do what needs to be done.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

Beyond the Barricades - Part Two
In this second part of 'Beyond the Barricades', Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about standing with courage in the face of fear as we speak and stand up for justice, compassion, and inclusion.Together, we explore how power can be so enticing for all of us. And we remind ourselves that we must speak out even when our voice is shaken, shaking, and even when we think we might lose it all.Responding to the invitation to embrace fear as we seek to live love out loud. In the end, we see that courage is a muscle we can always strengthen. Acting justly, loving mercy and walking humbly.This is the path we are invited to take, and this is how we will all find our voice.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

Beyond the Barricades - Part One

We think through why we believe everyone else is responsible rather than us, which is actually a huge deception.And we recognise that we all have agency and there always exists the invitation to participate in creating change. We hope this episode gives you the courage to shift, move and pivot so that we can all, all move beyond the barricades together.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

The one about pressure and the crucible of life
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk all about distress, eustress and de-stress. This episode is all about pressure. We discuss how it shows up in our bodies, its physiological impact.We think about what we can do when it feels like it is all becoming too much. We even talk about tears. We reflect on the story and power of wilderness and how the pressure of a wilderness can be an invitation that can mould and shape us into the very kind of people we long to be more compassionate, more present, more humble.We pray that this episode helps you as you navigate pressure and the crucible that life can be.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

The one all about blame!
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk all about blame. We can all jump to blame so easily, and we find it hard to take responsibility when we've done something wrong and say sorry.Blame is a shortcut. In this episode, we pay attention to the power of self reflection, self awareness, self compassion, and the decision of forgiveness. This was a super honest and, we hope, helpful conversation.There's plenty of joy in this one too.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

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.
