UNFKD Episode 19 - WINTER SOLSTICE
<p>In this special Winter Solstice episode of Fkd Up byFaith: UNFKD, recorded on the solstice, in darkness, in the Galloway Forest Park in Scotland, I explore the meaning of the longest night of the year — a threshold between darkness and returning light. I share reflections on the spiritual depth of darkness. There is a gentle invitation to reflect, to rest, to embrace stillness and the hidden beauty of unknowing. A gentle seasonal reminder that darkness is not the end, but the beginning of hope.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Galloway International Dark Sky Park </strong></p><p><a href="https://forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/forest-parks/galloway-forest-park/dark-skies">https://forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/forest-parks/galloway-forest-park/dark-skies</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Last Year’s Solstice episode</strong> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5hlxXgHtTYK2heqMzVs9KT?si=xTCncuzzQO2hwtHOF8om2A">https://open.spotify.com/episode/5hlxXgHtTYK2heqMzVs9KT?si=xTCncuzzQO2hwtHOF8om2A</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Music Credits:</strong> “Better Day” by Penguin Music,“Decemder” by Music Word, and “At the Farthest Land” by HarumachiMusic — all royalty-free via Pixabay.

UNFKD Episode 18 - LOVE
<p>"No hate like Christian love" - was the prompt for this episode. A comment on a social media post was met with this response.</p><p><br></p><p>And I get it. </p><p><br></p><p>Recorded in the calm before storm Floris from a campervan on the west coast of Scotland, I share a brief reflection on love from a Christian theological perspective. My take is that we are compelled, as Christians, to love. And for me, this means praxis or love in action. </p><p>However, this is contextualised with awareness that some people have been deeply wounded by Christianity.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Bible References</strong></p><p>John 13:34-35 (NRSV)</p><p>Matthew 22:36-40 (NRSV)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Theological resources</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Jeanrond, Werner G.

UNFKD Episode 17 - HELL
<p>In this episode of UNFKD I tackle one of the most 'harmful,misunderstood and just plain wrong' concepts in theology - HELL. It's one of those projects that, as a theologian, you kind of wish you'd never started. Thank God that there are some wonderful theologians and historians whose work I have relied on in this episode.</p><p>I took as my starting point the phrase - oft repeated in my Scots childhood - 'Hell Mend Ye!' and I explore why the idea of hell might be a compelling one for religious and non-religious people alike. </p><p><br></p><p><b>References</b></p><p><br></p><p>Brock, M.D. (2016). <i>Satan and the Scots : the Devil in Post-Reformation Scotland, c.1560-1700.</i> Abingdon, Routledge.</p><p><br></p><p>Brown, D.
