   Charlie Kang - Does disorientation have to lead to deconstruction?

   In this 6-part series, explore how we as followers of Jesus can respond and walk through the disorientating moments in our lives, in the complexity of today’s culture, by looking to the ancient paths of Jesus.  Kyung Chul (Charlie) Kang is your host for this podcast, joined by Dr Jason Clark in the studio as they discuss learning and unlearning as Christians. At the start of the episode, Charlie shares his own personal story of an extremely disorientating moment in his life. From dreams of becoming a lawyer, to unexpectedly becoming a pastor, to suddenly having it all come to an end – how could he respond? In solitude all he could do was say, “God I’m here and that’s all I have”, and God spoke. In this episode we discuss: Silence and solitude as valuable spiritual practices. How crisis can lead us to learn more of God. What does healthy deconstruction look like? What’s the purpose of learning and unlearning? How there’s more of God, not less of God, in these moments. The difference between dogma and doctrine. Finding space for honesty and openness. More about the contributors: Dr Jason Clark Jason is Principal and Head of Waverley Abbey College. He holds two PhDs and was previously Pastor at Sutton Vineyard Church, having been involved in church planting and leadership for many years. He is married with three adult children and worships at Emmaus Road Church in Guildford.

   Alicia Chapman - Does PRAYER really change anything?

   In this 6-part series, explore how we as followers of Jesus can respond and walk through the disorientating moments in our lives, in the complexity of today’s culture, by looking to the ancient paths of Jesus. Kyung Chul (Charlie) Kang is your host for this podcast, joined by Dr Jason Clark in the studio as they discuss prayer, spiritual practices and walking with God when life gives us curveballs. Later in the episode, we’re joined by Alicia Chapman who shares her story of disorientation following the end of a relationship. Feeling a sense of grief following this, she realised how the chapters of her life’s story don’t always look how she imaged they would. But in this, she discovered the power of daily surrender and yielding to Jesus, and how she would rather walk these times with him than without him. In this episode we discuss: • How can we make decisions with God? • The role of spiritual formation. • Spiritual practices that help us in daily life. • What actually are spiritual exercises? • Alicia’s story of disappointment and walking daily with Jesus. • Pressing into the will of God while receiving from Him. • Asking God, “Where are you at work within me and around me?” • Forming deep roots.

Alicia Chapman Alicia leads 24-7 Prayer’s National team in Great Britain. Her first experience of night and day prayer was with a ministry in the USA as an eighteen year old, and it has shaped the course of her life ever since. Her greatest joy is equipping people to embrace practices and rhythms of prayer in which individuals and communities encounter God and experience transformation.
