S2 Ep4 – Palestine: The Fear of Oppression and The Power of Freedom (Part 2)
Generous FaithSeries 2 Episode 5 – Palestine: The Fear of Oppression and The Power of Freedom (Part 2)Guests: Dr Sharon Jagger, Esther McIntosh & Samuel Salim Munayer Generous Faith is a series hosted by Reverend Georgia Ashwell, a podcast that celebrates the curious and the questioning. In these challenging times we’re thinking about how to live a good life – a life which embraces questions and explores a generous way to understand faith, life and the world. Join Georgia and featured guests each month to seek those spaces found between the binaries, spaces where beauty and mystery often dwell. This podcast is produced by St John’s Waterloo in collaboration with Morley Radio. Our freedom can so easily be taken for granted, and perhaps rightly so – it is a human right. But what is it to have your freedom taken away? To live in the shadow of oppression. In this double episode I talk to Sharon and Esther, two Christian women from the UK on their recent visit to Palestine and all they witnessed for Christians and all Palestinians living there. Also joining us is Samuel, a Palestinian man who they met as part of their visit. What is the history of this land and people? What is the Palestinian Christian experience? And is the Christian influence both good and bad from the UK, US and other places? How much has White-Christian Supremacy caused harm to Palestinians? If it doesn’t aid freedom, can we all it Christian?

S2 Ep2: Nature, Faith and Psychedelics
Generous FaithSeries 2 Episode 2: Nature, Faith and PsychedelicsGuests: Annette Kaye & Muzammal Hussain We are intricately connected to the natural world which brings so much joy and beauty, as well as disaster and devastation because of climate injustice for many people across the world – and more so on those who have contributed the least to the climate crisis. In this episode I’m joined by to guests, Muzammal - who has been involved with grassroots ecological work for almost 20 years and is one of the pioneers amongst Muslims in the UK, and Annette - spiritual director, psychotherapist and artist, and recent explorer into the realm of psychedelics within a spiritual context. Together we talk about how faith can influence the way we interact with nature – positively and negatively, and how we understand spirituality / God to be found within the natural world.Generous Faith is a series hosted by Reverend Georgia Ashwell, a podcast that celebrates the curious and the questioning.

This podcast is produced by St John’s Waterloo in collaboration with Morley Radio. We begin season 2 with a magical conversation. Is magic evil? Can you believe in God and magic? Is it all the same? Join me, Georgia Ashwell, as I interview two guests, Max Gordon, a tarot reader, astrologer and psychic from the U.S, who has been reading professionally for over thirty years. And Dr Shanon Shah, a Visiting Research Fellow at the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, King's College London (KCL). He conducts academic research on minority religions and alternative spiritualities at the Inform, an educational charity affiliated with KCL. Together we talk about the binary of faith and magic – why was faith always displayed as good and magic bad. But doesn’t magic occur in the bible? Christianity has at the centre of the faith – the Holy Spirit – could it be that magic and faith are not so polarised. Maybe all magic is from God.
