Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Horror, Beauty and the Sacred | Matthew Wilkinson
Q: How does organ music fit into Orthodox worship practices?
Organ music is not widely accepted in Orthodox worship, especially in Greek Orthodox contexts, but the guest explains it's a pragmatic way some Western-influenced churches integrate organ and maintain a dialogue with Eastern traditions.
Harvard Philosopher: Why We Need To Belong | Ian Marcus Corbin
Q: For those who aren't familiar with your work, how would you introduce yourself?
Ian Marcus Corbin describes himself as a philosopher focused on belonging, loneliness, and how human beings are deeply interdependent, drawing from both philosophical and scientific perspectives to explain why we need community.
Metaphors We Live By | Joey Millington
Q: How do sacramental metaphors differ from ordinary metaphors in Christianity?
Sacramental metaphors point to a deeper, participatory reality where symbols like the Eucharist enact grace and presence, rather than simply illustrating a concept. They invite a lived, embodied response that shapes belief and practice.
Metaphors We Live By | Joey Millington
Q: What is a metaphor, and how does it apply to church life?
A metaphor is seeing one thing through another, and it helps describe and understand the world. In church life, metaphors guide leadership, liturgy, and how communities imagine their mission, often becoming liveable realities rather than mere language.
Turning Trauma Into Flourishing | Frank Ritchie
Q: What do you mean by salvation and what does it look like beyond getting souls to heaven?
Salvation is not a distant, ethereal state; it involves the whole cosmos and creation, with God as the source of all being. Real salvation orders all of creation toward life, recognizing that life is lived in relationship with God, others, and the world.
