Out of the Margins – Season Two coming soon!

Young Langham Australia is pleased to announce the release of our second season of the Out of Margins Podcast; expected to drop on all good podcasting platforms on the 15th of August with a release schedule of every fortnight following that date.

Interpreting Scripture Through Different Worldviews

We begin the series with an enlightening discussion on Interpreting Scripture Through Different World Views, with Dr Liz Mburu, who walks us through her unique exegesis model that supports people from East African contexts to draw the most from scripture using the lens of their own perspectives. We also speak with Dr Herry Susanto, whose work to reach Indonesian hearts with the Gospel has shown us how cultural perspectives can both help and hinder the way we approach scripture – and how that can reflect back on how we approach our own scriptural interpretation in the West.

Environmental Stewardship

In the second episode, Dr Susanto leads us through some letters of Paul and how Paul’s cosmological framework helps us to develop a robust Christian view of Environmental Stewardship. This episode gives a unique and well-considered perspective from a majority-world voice of how we as Christians can approach the very relevant issue of environmental management in today’s confusing world.

Forgiveness

Our third episode deals with an ethical framework of Christ-like forgiveness, as we get the privilege of hearing from the voices of some of our Young Langham Brisbane attendees; a group of young adults in Brisbane who gather once a month to hear from our Langham Scholars on a variety of topics. Over the early months of this year, we have been reading and drawing wisdom from the Langham published book No More Cheeks to Turn by Dr Sunday Bobai Agang, on this episode we discuss the book together and speak about Dr Agang’s experiences learning to forgive in the most difficult of circumstances.

African Pentecostalism

The fourth episode also features our Young Langham participants as we engage in a robust discussion with Dr Emmanuel Mukeshimana as he demonstrates the great positive effects Pentecostalism has had in bringing the Gospel to East-Africa. We have the opportunity to discuss the strengths and shortfalls of our traditions here in the West and those in Africa, to see how collaboration with our Majority World brothers and sister can help each of us see our own contexts better.  

Japanese Reading of Scripture

In the fifth episode, we sit down with Japanese scholar Dr Kei Hiramatsu who shows us the powerful impact of the scriptural wisdom of humility in Japan. Dr Hiramatsu gives us an insight into the ways in which the Bible speaks to those experiencing social persecution in an environment where Christians are the minority and helps us to see how Western and Majority World voices can work together to help and support each other pastorally.

Digital Discipleship

 On the 6^th Episode Edgar sits down with Esteban Amestegui, whose work into digital discipleship in South America has helped him reach a new generation with the Gospel, and how we in the West may be able to continue to employ these strategies as the online world begins to become more and more a distinct culture of its own.

Migration and Refugees

In our final episode, we sit down with young Langham member and refugee lawyer, Jenny Nugent to discuss with Langham Scholars a Biblical and servant-hearted approach to the ongoing refugee crisis. We talk about how our Majority World brothers and sisters are facing the crisis on the front lines and how this can challenge us to be more mindful of how we can serve refugees in our own communities in the Western world.
