E1: "My Counsellor Said To Me..." Pete Greig | Journal of a New Generation

In this 6-part series, explore how we as followers of Jesus can respond and walk through the disorientating moments in our lives, in the complexity of today’s culture, by looking to the ancient paths of Jesus.
Kyung Chul (Charlie) Kang is your host for this podcast, joined by Dr Jason Clark in the studio as they discuss the somewhat of a buzzword in world - ‘creativity’.
Later in the episode, we’re joined by Pete Greig who shares the life changing moment when his wife Sammy was diagnosed with a chronic illness and how suffering is inevitable in life, but joy is something that could easily bypass us if we do not engage with the beauty of God, present in the midst of the mess of this world.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What is creativity from a Christian perspective?
• How creativity can help us encounter God.
• Pete’s wife Sammy’s chronic illness and multiple times she came close to dying.
• How do we live well within the mess of this world?
• Chaos theory - how chaos ultimately becomes beautiful patterns.
• Participating in the renewal of creation.
• Hijacking your senses and be present to the moment.
• A Christian’s duty to pursue joy.
• ‘But some people just aren’t creative...’
