The Crazy of Overwhelm
There is a lot going on in life at the moment, both generally and in politics and globally. All of this can feel overwhelming and heavy. My name's Jill Rowe, and in this episode of the Different podcast, I talk with Steve Chalke about how we can not just make sense of things, but how we can also find our way through and be people who keep moving forward. We explore the ideas of perspective and choice and community and faith and opting always to do good. And we see how all these things can stabilise us.We can use our agency and power to do the better thing, always.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

Leadership is about the granular not the hype
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk about how leadership is all about the granular, and not the hype. We chat through where our model for what great leadership comes from, and what it looks like in practice, and together we reflect on some of the trappings that those who find themselves carrying the responsibility of leadership might get caught up in things like power, privilege and the temptation of perks.The reality of a Christ-centred approach to leadership is quite different. A revolution, in fact, a revolution that we believe the world really needs.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

Life's too short to...
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke explore how life's just far too short for holding grudges. It's too short to miss precious moments, too short to only care about ourselves, and far too short to spend excessive amounts of time scrolling our phones.We explore why we might do these things in the first place. Even just chatting about all this stuff gave us both the chance to reflect on our own choices and what little adjustments and changes we might make in our own lives.It's always so helpful to reflect.Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).This podcast is powered by Oasis.

Being patient and the wisdom of the slow
In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk about another one of the Oasis 9 habits, this time being patient. From starting with a realisation, from being in a dentist's chair to understanding that life is not meant to be done continually at high speed, we explore how patience can be the teacher of wisdom.The will help us to do life well. We see the great depth in the wisdom of slow. And we realise it is no wonder that St. Paul described that love is always patient.This one was fun and deep all at the same time.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.
