Eve Reloaded Zhien-U Bakarich

Bigumbal and Kamilaroi man and leader of the Wesleyan Methodist church of Australia, Dr Rev Rex Rigby, helps us think Christianly about the upcoming referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. What part does an earthly government play in indigenous wellbeing? What should we be looking to Parliament for, in comparison to our ultimate ruler - God? And how should Christians discuss this topic in the lead up to the referendum?

Why I am voting “yes” in the referendum giving First Nations peoples a Voice to Parliament - Michael Barker (WAtoday, 19 May 2023)

Kids, Career, Christian - are these things that play nicely together in modern life? How do we fit together our parental responsibilities with the endless opportunities for good works outside the home? What weight should we give to the financial implications? Becky and I discuss how to look for a good choice in an imperfect world - with a bonus Bluey breakdown!

Why a career is no match for motherhood - Virginia Tapscott, (The Australian, 18 Jul 2022)

BECKY LUI was adopted into God's family sometime in 2004 when she met the real Jesus by reading the Bible with the University Christian group while studying Commerce/Law. She married Phil and managed to squeeze in a Bachelor of Theology before having three sons.

ZHIEN-U BAKARICH turned her curiosity into a degree by studying a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Social Inquiry, followed by a Masters in Journalism. She now absorbs the curiosity of her two small daughters and works part time for a Christian charity.

“OK Boomer”, “Cheugy Starter Pack”, “Avocado toast” - these are the new weapons of generational warfare. Does ‘respecting your elders’ mean accepting outdated advice? Is generational friction inevitable? Does being part of the family of God make a difference? (BONUS!: Fun recap of the Bluey episode “Phones”)
Millennials Are the Silencing Generation - F.H. Buckley (2 Jan 2022, Wall Street Journal)
What Is ‘Cheugy’? You Know It When You See It - Taylor Lorenz (29 Apr 2021, New York Times)

This episode takes a bit of a different tack as we chat through a few quick things including online shopping (what are your household rules around spending?), vaccine hesitancy (with no shouting!), and learning from home (without despairing). As always we turn to the Bible for wisdom and encouragement.

At the March 4 Justice rallies, women around Australia protested for the safety of women from sexual assault.
