Digital media is ubiquitous these days and has influenced all spheres of our lives, including our faith. But can our faith become too digital? Consider both the gifts and the snares of technology and the theology we need, in this conversation with Digital Religion Professor Heidi Campbell from Texas A&M University.
Bryan Shen, professional counsellor specialising in gender and identity issues helps us understand how identity formation is a critical piece in one’s inclinations, choices and identity in life.
Feeling safe is a valid need. But what does it mean? Pastor Rick Toh from Yio Chu Kang Chapel discusses with us how a church may grow in this area towards being a brave, not just safe, space.
History is past, or is it? In this conversation with pastor-scholar Timothy Ang, we delve into church history and the first ecumenical council at Nicaea, and its meaning for us today.
What is Sunday worship, and how is it constituted? How does the Sunday worship form congregants, and how does it connect to authentic discipleship? Dr Judith Laoyan-Mosomos from the Methodist School of Music helps us unpack these key ideas.
Are our ideas of leadership clear? Beginning with his research on Narratives and ideologies that shape power relations, we discuss with Rev Dr Bernard Chao the range, scope and implications of leadership approaches for the church.
What exactly is the job of a pastor? Might there be a day when pastors are replaced by online sermons or artificial intelligence? Rev Keith Lai joins us to discuss the role of the pastor, drawing from four decades of experience.
‘Wokeness’ is now a popular term, used in all sorts of contexts. Is it always a bad thing? Associate Professor Suzanne Choo, author of When Woke Goes Broke: Redeeming Social Justice for the Church, joins us to discuss what it is and how it can inform the Church’s approach towards social justice. You can listen to our earlier generation convo on Social Justice at The Cathedral Podcast.
Loneliness is now a global concern. How did this happen and what could it mean? Rev Dr Tan Soo Inn joins us to discuss this phenomenon and what the church should and can do.
