Untangled | Ausha

Description

This is a podcast for the Bible curious.

Each week Joan will give Damian a passage to read from the bible and they’ll just talk about it.

At their heart, religions promote connection, each offering a unique path toward unity in life in God.

Here’s a place to untangle stories from the Christian Scripture.

Joan and Damian grew up next door to each other in Melbourne’s inner north. 50 years later, they are still great mates and like to chat about all things deep and meaningful.

Joan has read the bible loads of times. She grew up on bible stories, became a church minister, learned from biblical scholars, read books, writes sermons and has been immersed in theological reflections for years.

Damian has never read the bible. He ran an IT business and has been highly suspicious of religion. After a mid-life direction change, Damian retrained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist.

E1 - Introducing Joan and Damian and the Untangled Guiding Principles
In the first episode of "Untangled", we, Damian, a psychodynamic psychotherapist, and Joan, a Uniting Church minister and PhD candidate in spiritual care, introduce our podcast's purpose: exploring the Bible and spirituality through ten guiding principles. Key principles include God as love, the Cosmic Christ, Trinitarian theology, the Bible as a living document, the harm caused by weaponised religion, curiosity, equal collaboration, and respect for Indigenous Australians and their spiritual wisdom. We begin our journey with Mark’s Gospel, emphasising first impressions and mutual learning. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
