Ep. 34 - Dylan en Swift vir 'n VBO? Protes en trooslirieke bring mense saam
Wat gebeur wanneer jy die digterlike proteste van Bob Dylan en die meesleurende storievertelling van Taylor Swift na dieselfde tafel uitnooi?
Wilmi Wheeler verken die unieke VBO waar predikante en musiekliefhebbers gesels oor die diep konneksie tussen popmusiek, lewensverhale en geloof.
Van die liminale tussenin-ruimtes van Dylan se 'Mr. Tambourine Man' tot die 10-minute trooslirieke van Swift se 'All Too Well', ontdek ons hoe musiek as 'n tydmasjien dien en taal gee aan emosies waarvoor ons dikwels nie self die woorde het nie. Musiek bring immers mense met uiteenlopende agtergronde en teologiese uitkyke bymekaar om mekaar se menswees te ontmoet en te herken.

Ep. 33 - Francesca de Gasparis - Faith communities and eco-justice
In this episode we sit down with Francesca de Gasparis, Executive Director of the Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI) and former director at the Green Belt Movement International. Francesca explains that true "eco-justice" means shifting our worldview from seeing humans at the top of a pyramid to recognizing that we are equal parts of a scientific and spiritual "web of life". She argues that addressing climate change goes far beyond simple recycling; it is a structural challenge deeply intertwined with human dignity, poverty, and systemic inequality.
Drawing from her background as a scientist, Francesca shares why faith communities hold the vital "hearts, minds, and values" needed to mobilize change where science and policy alone fall short. She offers practical, local starting points for congregations - such as starting a community soup kitchen to help vulnerable people adapt to climate impacts - and discusses the concept of "active hope" to help us transmute our despair into the daily courage to heal, restore, and rebuild.

Ep. 32 - Dr. Ernst Baard - Biodiversiteit en bewaring: die wonder van die Wes-Kaapse skepping
Hy het sy loopbaan begin deur skilpaaie en paddas in Jonkershoek te bestudeer, en dit uitgebou tot 'n leeftyd se werk op die hoogste vlak van natuurbewaring in die Wes-Kaap. Dr. Ernst Baard sê natuurbewaring gaan nie net oor bokkies en blommetjies nie, dit gaan oor die stelsels wat ons lewe elke dag onderhou.
In hierdie episode gesels DJ Muller met Ernst oor waarom die Wes-Kaap ekologies so uitsonderlik is, watter bedreigings biodiversiteit vandag in die gesig staar, en waar daar steeds hoop is. Hulle sluit aan by Genesis 1:28 en vra wat verantwoordelike heerskappy oor die aarde in die praktyk beteken, vir 'n gewone lidmaat en gemeente.
