Heavenly Minded Earthly Good
Heavenly Minded Earthly Good
Tyndale University
Anita Wing Lee has spent a decade as content creator -- blogging, filming, snapping, live streaming, editing and publishing her way around the world. Since the age of 21, she's told stories from dozens of countries, confronted inequality and injustice, shared her spiritual journey, and aspired to be a voice for good. But behind the Instagram and YouTube videos, there was something she never talked about: God had let her down. A supernatural encounter in 2017 forced her to stop traveling, demolished her fledgling career, and left her with no option but to come back to Toronto where she found herself working at church. When she enrolled in a Master's of divinity at Tyndale University, she wasn't trying to become holy or a pastor. It was just unfinished business. They call it deconstruction. She calls it seeking the truth. This is her story.
What Did You Think About The Podcast? A Conversation With Listeners
When we first developed this podcast, we hoped that it would spark conversation for people. That it would create a safe space where people could think critically about their own questions about faith and Christianity. A few weeks ago, we found out that one of our listeners had brought this podcast to her home church and they did just that, spending four Sundays listening to the podcast and discussing it together. Here is our conversation with Sue Jean and Soonil, leaders of a small house church in Toronto.
