Episode Synopsis
Restless Sanctuary Episode 3: Are we collecting wood or are we longing for the sea?
Listen to our new podcast about faith, restlessness and the search for meaning! In each episode James Cathcart and Albert Bogle from Sanctuary First share what it’s like to be restless Christians, wrestling with the Bible and spirituality as they try and live it out today.
This week they preview our theme for Advent ‘Room at the Table’ discussing the resources we have been working on and the life-changing, world-changing implications of God’s invitation to the table. God doesn’t ignore our restlessness - God’s responds to it and offers us an adventure on the wide open sea.
Right now our world is very restless — politically, economically, culturally, technologically and environmentally. We are living through an age of disruption and upheaval. Many of us are longing for a sense of sanctuary, for belonging, and direction to help us face new and unprecedented challenges.
At the root of Christianity James and Albert uncover a restlessness in God’s heart that mirrors our own. A deep longing and restless love that searches out for each one of us. We glimpse God in the faces of one another in need and in God we glimpse our own human yearning for wholeness and love.
James and Albert reckon Jesus offers sanctuary and respite for our restless souls, but that it is often a restless sanctuary, a temporary makeshift shelter in a world that we are called in turn to go out and love. The ship in their logo, designed by Jack Steel, is itself a restless sanctuary on the open water — not a shelter from the storm but a shelter through the storm.
Join them every fortnight for fascinating discussions about being restless Christians in a restless world!
The series is a collaboration between James Cathcart and Albert Bogle and features the track ‘Symphony of Lies’ by The Bogle Band.
In this episode you will also hear a clip of Derek Munn talking about Connect Groups, Maggie Lane introducing the Advent Labyrinth and the Bogle Band performing ‘Room at the table.’
