Episode 143: with Jonny Baker for Sunday 24th November

In this week’s episode of Politics in the Pulpit, our host, Matt Forsyth, chats to Jonny Baker, and is joined by JPIT member Nathan McGuire. Jonny Baker set up the pioneer training at CMS where he is one of the directors. His role is overseeing their mission in post Christian Britain. He loves all things creative and especially is interested in how faith connects with the wider culture. He is an advocate for pioneers, encouraging and enabling people to give legs to their ideas. To that end, Pioneer Practice, his latest book distills the practical wisdom Jonny has learned over the years into short, full colour, easy to read articles and stories. He has been involved in youth ministry, alternative worship, emerging church, pioneering and will no doubt be involved in whatever else we call the waves of mission innovation in relation to post Christian Britain. Matt, Jonny and Nathan discuss preaching on the lectionary readings for Sunday 17th November, which are: 2 Samuel 23:1-7 Revelation 1:4-8 John 18:33-37 Psalm 132:1-12, (13-18) ‘Politics in the Pulpit’ is JPIT’s weekly lectionary resource, helping to equip preachers, ministers and worship leaders to unpack justice and peace issues in the pulpit.
