In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about why developing inner core strength and refusing to take shortcuts matters so much. They discuss steadiness, balance and resilience and how these come about through hard work and practise exercising the spiritual and emotional muscles needed to thrive.It's tempting to take shortcuts, but stepping out of our comfort zone, we see that strength and learning is all formed through pain and screw ups, joy and success, suffering and challenge. These are all of life for all of us.Our job is to embrace it all and we get to do this roller coaster life with one another.

The Importance of Rites of Passage
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about the importance of rites of passage, how marking moments helps us to navigate life and to thrive. We consider how the absence of such markers can leave us adrift, susceptible and without a sense of true north.And we miss the beautiful invitation to an ongoing journey of growth. We see the value of developing practises and rituals that bring us together across groups and divides, holding us steady, and, as a result, able to build stronger communities where everyone is included.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

Beauty from brokenness

Together, they explore the philosophy held within the art of kintsugi.And they recognise that we can often live life pursuing perfection, desperate for a life without scars. And we can have an insatiable appetite for both being and looking perfect. Yet by changing our way of seeing and believing and having the courage and humility to learn through and from our scars and broken parts, we can be transformed, making us better. Not bitter. This is a precious episode. We pray it helps you to keep on your journey of growth and goodness.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

We’d like to introduce you to a new podcast. It’s called Different. But why different?You know how when you’re wearing sunglasses it puts a tint on everything? Or if you wear glasses you see some things in focus and others out of focus?Well, we all have lenses on the inside of our head too. And they tint, colour and shape everything we see, think and understand.So, on this podcast Steve Chalke and Jill Rowe are going to dive headlong into just that as they discover a new ‘meaning making’ story and embrace a fresh way of thinking about life, the universe and everything in-between.They will talk about getting to a place where we see our lives as part of something bigger than our day-to-day experience - becoming a part of an unfolding story. Finding joy in ordinary moments, facing failure and struggle and discovering liberation and purpose.They’ll also discuss experiencing life as a gift and learning how to live on purpose. They’ll be peering into dark nights of the soul and finding hope. And simply learning how we are here to walk each home.We hope you enjoy these conversations – discovering a new story and embracing new thinking.This podcast is powered by Oasis.
