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.

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about what is the 'good life'. They chat about how it is more of an attitude than a destination, and they consider what it means to make yourself small when the world screams you need to be big and you need to be dominant.
From Carl Jung to AA, from disruption to growth. And to the power of the words, "Do not be afraid," they cover a lot of ground in this episode, and it was worth it for sure.

What does it mean?
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about what on earth being Christ-centered means, as an organization and at an individual level. They explore the misconception that Jesus was Christian and dive deeply into the way of life all humanity is invited to live, loving God and loving others as we love ourselves.
They talk about what a Christ-centered movement looks like and how leadership should show up built on this way, rejecting hierarchical power and choosing servanthood. This episode undoes a whole heap of misunderstandings.

Reclaiming Kindness
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about reclaiming kindness. They discuss the impact of choosing kindness over hate, and the life-changing power it has on health and well-being.
They celebrate the sheer enormity of kindness and generosity in the world. Despite the media causing us to think kindness has gone missing, and they think through the ways that reclaiming kindness can happen through everyday actions, and they acknowledge the need to be intentional, choosing loving kindness even when anger, rage, and selfishness seem much easier options.
This was an energizing and life-affirming conversation. We hope it will be for you too.
