  • Revs. Mark Townsend and Maggy Whitehouse are both ordained vicars ... and self-confessed f**k ups for Jesus. From spoonerisms at weddings, through breakdowns, divorce, failed emigration, shark attack (truly!) and back down to everyday stupidity and forgetfulness, we’ve lived and worked with the humiliation of failure for most of our lives. But every time we have fallen short, Grace and goodness have been the result even if it has only been the justified reduction of our egos. And this is our message - that it’s okay to be a Christian catastrophe (or any other kind of catastrophe for that matter). In fact, it’s pretty much essential in order to understand what Jesus was all about. Today we share some of our stories, have some laughs and we hope you will join us in future sessions by sharing your own f**k ups for Jesus (or Buddha or Krishna or ... or ... or). Remember, the cracks are where the light can get in. PLEASE NOTE: ABUNDANT USE OF THE F-WORD.

    Oct 30 2024

    Perfectionism ... that cunning mindset that halts creativity in its path. Today we talk about the willingness to be imperfect and embrace our whole, messy selves, rather than becoming paralysed because we can't be good enough. Jesus celebrated the imperfect so why, then, did he say, 'Be perfect just as your Father in Heaven is perfect?' Lots to unpack here!

  • Train Wrecks for Jesus. Episode 79: The Clamour of Glamour.
    Oct 16 2024

    Today we discuss Lucifer, 'the light-bringer.' Not the devil as such but the myth of the tempter who disguises himself within light and glamour. Let's face it, we aren't tempted by anything that actually looks evil are we? So it dresses itself up as 'good.' We humans are mired in both light and glamour ... and it is doing us great harm under the guise of beauty.
