Two Fools on the Road to Emmaus Podcast – Following some violent protests at the recent G20 summit in Toronto, the guys begin discussing non-violent protest vs. pacifism.  This leads into an exploration of the way we relate to each other in terms of power, and raises questions of how we choose to either lay down our rights (power) or cling to them, each day.

Two Fools on the Road to Emmaus Podcast -   Michael and Mark dive right in with a concern that unfortunately happens on occasion.  Folks who have decided to leave institutional forms of Church for deeper relationships with Jesus can often get caught in the anger.  Some communities can become unhealthy because they are founded upon anger towards the institution instead of Life in Jesus.

Anger can be a very healthy emotion and can be helpful to motivate us to change unhealthy situations but we can’t live in that anger or it poisons us, it turns to bitterness.  The guys give us a friendly reminder that we left big box church to find life, lets keep focused on that life in Jesus and move forward into health.

Two Fools on the Road to Emmaus Podcast -   Continuing from last week, Mike and Mark carry on the discussion around a new book on the market in defense of institutional forms of Church. Christianity Today’s interview with one of the authors of Why we Love the Church: In Praise of Institutions and Organized Religion gives us a glimpse to the content of this offering.

The guys reflect on decentralized organization and hybrids which are just as, if not more prolific than centralized institutional structures and encourage us not to be intimidated by the obligation and fear mongering that so many of us have left.  To understand that our security is safely rooted in Jesus and not our membership in a club nor found in our rejecting the club.
