Podcast Overview

Hello and welcome to the Pages of GodLight Podcast. I’m your host, Christine Whitaker from Whitaker House Publishers. Have you ever seen how sunlight breaks through a patch of trees and creates a circle of brightness that seems almost otherworldly? Like a sacred space, so illuminated the world seems to glow? C.S. Lewis described these as patches of GodLight. I have been a book lover ever since I learned to read, and when I pick up a book, over and over, I see glimmers of meaning within the pages that stop me in my tracks and make me pause and take in what I’ve come upon, just like those spots of brilliant light. In this podcast, Pages of GodLight, my hope is in these conversations, as we meet authors and creators and talk through the pages of books, you too will stumble upon bright spots of words and carefully delivered messages that open you up to experiencing the light that is all around us and waiting to be found. Please come join us!

Episode 8: Out of the Embers; Faith after the Great Deconstruction by Bradley Jersak

Deconstruction: Trendy brand name for falling away from belief in God? Or a process essential to authentic faith?Liberation or trauma? Prison break or exile?It’s complicated. Just like you. Christian history records a Great Reformation and a Great Awakening. But today’s “Great Deconstruction” will surely leave an equally profound impact. In Out of the Embers, Bradley Jersak explores the necessity, perils, and possibilities of the Great Deconstruction―how it has the potential to either sabotage our communion with God or infuse it with the breath of life, the light and life of Christ himself. In this collection of vulnerable memoirs, philosophical memos, and candid provocations, Jersak resists both the hand-wringing urge to corral stray sheep and the exultant desire to play the happy-clappy Ex-vangelical cheerleader. He employs the wisdom and expertise of the great deconstructionists―Christianity’s ancient influences (Moses, Plato, Paul, and the Patristics), “beloved frenemies” (from Voltaire to Nietzsche), and the masters of deconstruction (Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, and Weil)―to double down and deconstruct deconstruction itself. Where is faith after deconstruction? The author’s heart is to engage and empathize with the bereft and disoriented, stoking the brittle ashes for live embers. In this quest for the resilient gospel of the martyrs, the marginal, and those outside the threshold...inexplicably, in this liminal space, life stirs. A Light shines through the ashes. We find, often for the first time, that living connection Jersak calls “presence in communion.”There is a sea change occurring across the Western church and civilization. Whether we’re watching a radical course correction or a complete collapse remains to be seen, and how it pans out will likely depend on how we see what’s happening, who we are becoming, how we live in response―and, most important, where we find Christ situated in this storm.

Episode 7: "Healing Prayer: God’s Idea for Restoring Body, Mind and Spirit” with David Chotka and also by Maxie Dunnam

In this episode of Pages of Godlight, host Christine Whitaker sits down to explore Healing Prayer: God’s Idea for Restoring Body, Mind, and Spirit by respected pastor and teacher David Chotka, with contributions from Maxie Dunnam. With decades of pastoral experience, Chotka has served congregations across Canada and led countless individuals into deeper intimacy with God through prayer. As the founder of Spirit-Equip Ministries, he has trained leaders worldwide in biblical healing, spiritual gifts, and discernment. This conversation unpacks how Chotka’s hands-on ministry experience informs his practical theology of healing. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and the rich traditions of the Church, Healing Prayer offers a roadmap for understanding how God still works to restore the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—through prayer. Whether you’re in ministry or seeking personal renewal, this episode invites you to discover how healing prayer is not only possible but central to God's loving nature.

Episode 6 - And: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either Or World by Felicia Murrell

While others often respond to the cares and concerns of our day through anger, And: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either/Or World attempts to offer a response steeped in the heartbeat of Love.This book is an invitation to encounter the lived experience and philosophical musings of another as a human, not as a project or agenda to conquer. Without apology, it embraces humanity and all the emotions, back stories, and history that come along with who we are and who Love is inviting us to be. This book is for those who want to think more deeply, those who are asking questions of how, what, and perhaps even why, and those who want to engage in deep listening and empathyAnd: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either/Or World is an invitation to move beyond binaries, beyond hierarchy and comparison to embrace the concept of "AND," with inclusion and generality that allow for more than one perspective and/or way of being.Touching on issues of race, body, motherhood, church, and wonder, these writings are from the stirrings of the authors own soul, extending an invitation to sit with Spirit in the process of mindful meditation, to humbly sit with compassion and curiosity in ways that evoke honesty and healing so that one might move beyond either/or and discover how the restorative power and uniting thread of Love might be stitching each of us to the world and to each other.
