True Unity for a Divided World with Temeko Richardson

Lead Time

Discover the transformative power of storytelling in film with our special guest, Temeko Richardson, a distinguished executive producer, director, and writer renowned for her inspirational works. Journey with us as we uncover how films can transcend socio-economic divides, offering audiences a mirror to universal human experiences like suffering, joy, and sacrifice. By highlighting the church's mission for unity in a divided world, we explore the creative arts' role in fostering a shared understanding of the gospel beyond political narratives.
Gain a fresh perspective on managing stress and anxiety as we introduce insights from Andi Kolber's latest book, focusing on the concept of expanding one's "window of tolerance." This episode explores how anchoring our identity in Jesus and practicing spiritual disciplines can lead to a life brimming with joy and peace. We'll also discuss the film "At the Cross," a project by Temeko that addresses specific societal needs and is available on platforms like Amazon Prime and Apple TV, offering psychological insights enriched with faith-based reflections.
Our discussion takes a deep dive into pressing issues within church communities, such as succession planning, intergenerational inclusivity, and gender-balanced leadership. We tackle the complex interplay between maintaining spiritual integrity and adapting to cultural shifts, ensuring churches remain resilient and inclusive. Finally, we reflect on the theological tensions surrounding love and acceptance, particularly for LGBTQ+ identities, while advocating for respect and compassion. This episode promises an enriching conversation on the evolving landscape of faith communities, underpinned by love and understanding.

Do you have a dream to reach people with the gospel, but feel stuck? There is hope for you.
Join us on an incredible learning journey to discover, develop, and deploy your calling to bless the world around you with the love of Jesus!
