The Sisterhood - from mean girls to supporting women

This very special episode is our first EVER live video recording with an audience of Woman Alive readers, writers, friends and friends of the podcast! Today’s conversation on The Sisterhood, is inspired by International Women’s Day. We live in a culture which seemingly takes any opportunity to pit women against each other. In the Bible, we have examples like Rachel and Leah competing for Jacob’s affection – representing the complexity of the relationships we have with other women. Our host, Tola-Doll Fisher and her guests ask, how do we shift from high school mean girl culture, to women supporting women – at church, at work – even on the school run? And what happens when we respond to Jesus’ prayer for unity (John 17) and intentionally curate safe spaces for women? Hannah Stephenson-Kelly is an ordinand in the Church of England. Her article for Woman Alive is the inspiration for the discussion we're having today. Read it here: https://www.womanalive.co.uk/opinion/sisterhood-is-not-just-a-label-that-ties-together-a-group-of-women-in-a-90s-sitcom/17330.article Alisa Latty-Alleyne is a leader in Christian media and has recently moved on from her role as National Director of The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) in UK and Ireland. Alisa has just started an Executive MBA at University of Warwick, specialising in Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence. You can connect with Alisa on LinkedIn by searching her full name. The Right Reverend Dr Jill Duff is the Anglican Bishop of Lancaster, a Premier trustee, and an author. Jill’s new book is called Held in God's Gaze (SPCK) and aims to help readers discover the wisdom, prayer, and spiritual insight of saints and mystics across Christian history. The live audience Q&A questions in this episode were: 1. Has Jesus also redeemed the desire to be “liked” that Jill referred to after the fall? And if yes, how do we live in the redeemed state? 2. Meanness can be rooted in anxiety and comparison. Do you think this is more of a challenge in the digital, social media age that girls and women exist in today? 3. ⁠How does the Gospel help us understand sisterhood as part of God's design as opposed to just a social construct? 4. ⁠What would you say to women who have experienced heartbreak from sisterhood and are afraid to establish new sisterhoods? 5. ⁠⁠Do you think that sometimes we can have unrealistic expectations of each other as women and the capacity that we have to help uphold others? 6. ⁠Have any of you had to deal with betrayal by a sister, and if yes, how did you heal from it, or navigate the situation?

Bible Course host Dr Andrew Ollerton on making sense of scripture in a confused age

The theologian Andrew Ollerton is probably best known for presenting Christian theology in an accessible and engaging way and his work as a pastor and author centres on making the Bible accessible to modern audiences without sacrificing intellectual rigour. He grew up in a Christian home where The Bible was 'part of the furniture' but when he hit his teens, he pushed back, sometimes, like Peter, publicly, despite having a father who worked at the nearby church. But from around eighteen he began to show a renewed interest in Christ's teaching, going on to study Geography then moving onto Theology, and completing a PhD in Historical Theology. Despite his academic credentials, Ollerton has intentionally focused on communicating theology in clear and practical ways for churches and the general public and his most significant contribution to this is “The Bible Course” an eight-session guide to the whole story of Scripture, developed in partnership with Bible Society. Ollerton has also written several books aimed at making The Bible understandable to modern audiences, including The Bible: A Story That Makes Sense of Life, Romans: A Letter That Makes Sense of Life, and God’s Book: An Honest Look at the Bible’s 7 Toughest Topics. In this episode of The Profile he talks to Premier Christianity magazine editor Sam Hailes about making Scripture as clear as you can and how companionship is transformational when it comes to understanding it.

Salvationist Jo Moir, the new leader of Spring Harvest

Spring Harvest is arguably one of the most identifiable UK Christian festivals in the calendar seeing between 10 and 20 thousand people descend upon Butlins in Minehead each Easter for family-themed activities, worship and bible study. Now it has a new leader at the helm- Jo Moir - whose deep background in the Salvation Army has given her plenty of experience mucking in and dealing with different types of people. The former midwife grew up in Guernsey to parents who were part of the Salvation Army but in her early teens she walked away and got in with a 'rough crowd'. A prayer brought her back as her mother went to Africa and looking back now she regards her time as a prodigal as valuable. Moir describes the Salvation Army as Christianity with 'its sleeves rolled up'. It is no doubt her open and vibrant personality that brought her to the attention of the BBC, which led her to feature in a documentary, later becoming friends and mentor to the comedian Paul O'Grady . In this interview with Premier Christianity editor Sam Hailes, she talks about her fascinating family history, the opportunities she believes there are for God to move at big Christian events and the importance of all Christians to ask themselves 'why' they're doing whatever it is they're doing.

Rich Johnson - Leading New Wine England and the challenges of keeping things fresh

Rich Johnson wears two hats quite comfortably. On the one hand he's an archetypal parish vicar working out of a parish in Worcestershire, and, on the other, he is the leader of New Wine England a non-denominational charity supporting Christian leaders in their everyday work. Johnson grew up in Manchester and moved abroad with his family where he was educated in Belgium and Hamburg. He went on to study Geography at Cambridge and through a college chaplain was introduced to Jesus. He describes his conversion as 'intellectual' with the Holy Spirit coming in later and he realised quite quickly that he wanted to become a vicar. He now ministers at the 'dreamy church' of All Saints in Worcester which he took over in 2009, a place for and by families. Stewardship of New Wine came later. The organisation has made a name for itself primarily through its summer festival in Bath - a hit for those who like loud worship and family focussed seminars. "What is new wine?" he answers, "it's about renewal." In his latest book Holy, Healthy Humble he invites the reader to a smaller more authentic vision of Christian leadership in a world saturated with look-at-me celebrity and explores the idea of what the Lord is doing in the Church right now. In this edition of The Profile he talks to Premier Christianity Editor Sam Hailes about his happy but non-Christian upbringing, how everyone needs therapy and how to keep new wine 'new.'

Mythographer Dr. Martin Shaw on his Eastern Orthodox faith and being re-enchanted by God in the wilderness

Dr Martin Shaw the storyteller and mythographer - someone who studies myths - was well exposed to the ancient tales from an early age. He grew up in a Baptist household in Devon in 1970s with a preacher for a father ad in a house with no television or phone but with access to lots and lots of books. It is no wonder then, that he became fixated with stories and particularly myths. However by his early adulthood he had grown tired of the way the stories of Jesus were told in church, always with a message and a point that made a "muscular sermon." He came to a point, where, in his own words, he "hit the enough button." A number of decades later, following a long stretch living in a tent, as well as writing and performing as a musician and oral storyteller, he found himself praying to God in nature and had a profound spiritual encounter. The experience brought him back to Christianity and he is now a practising Orthodox Christian. Shaw has written a number of books drawing on Celtic, Siberian, Greek myths as well as Christian traditions. His latest title: Liturgies of the Wild released earlier this year is already New York Times bestseller. In this episode of The Profile with Premier Christianity Editor Sam Hailes he talks about his early life story, how myths and stories provide a link to our ancestors and the incredible story of what brought him back to Christ.

Have you ever been told you’re “too nice”? Do you struggle to tell people “no”? Are you desperate to make everyone around you happy, at your own expense?
