“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

There's been a lot of taking, writing, and shouting about the "right side" and "wrong side" of history, and which "side" you should be on. It strikes me a bit odd that many believers have accepted this false idea of history and who controls it. People believe that history has an arc, and that it can be bent by the efforts of humanity. History does in fact have an arc, but I'm afraid the believing community has fallen prey to error because we've lost our ability to truly "tell time." In this final episode of 2021, we're going on a provocative journey into the two "time zones" of the Bible with the goal of getting our watches set right.…
Do you see yourself as a "peace-maker" or a "peace-keeper"? What difference would it make if you got this right? Or wrong? In any worldview that believes peace- keeping should be the priority, change is viewed with suspicion. Even change in the right direction. Threats to our personal peace and way of life—if uniformed by the purposes of God—result in us fighting for what's important to us , rather than what matters most to God . In this sixth and final interview with shalom-makers, Fran interviews his oldest son Ben, a veteran in peace-making in his own right. Ben's twenty years in urban space has convinced him that peace-making is often ignored or neglected by believers, not because it's wrong, but because it's difficult. You'll be nudged out of your comfort zone, but generously wooed into the circumference of truth is this interview.…
Shalom is the "way things are supposed to be"…everywhere…among everyone…all the time. It's absence is what's wrong with the world. But because the whole idea of shalom is foreign to us as believers, we don't naturally ask life questions within its frame of reference. For example, do you think there are places where it's "more absent" than in other places? Or more absent among some people groups than others? How old should you be before you can understand shalom for yourself? Is there a difference between a road of shalom and the road to shalom? Veteran urban worker, history teacher, youth pastor and husband and father, Clint Cvacho helps us get answers to all of the above. In this fifth interview with shalom-restorers you'll be challenged to revise some of your preconceptions about people, place, and purpose…
One of the things I've come to realize, after 51 years on the "Jesus Road," is that the Bible is new every morning. It's an example of a not so famous saying by Buddy Hinton in Kee Sloan's book, Jabbok : "The more I learn this, the truer it gets." In an age of glance, swipe and poke, hearing or reading something more than once is actually a good thing…because it's also a God thing. With that intro, I want to tell/alert you to the fact that this episode is the only interview I ever did on the Road to Shalom...nearly 3 years ago. But, it fits so well in the current series it's worth enjoying again…or for the first time. Join me in the living room of Dave Adkison, one of my best friends who also happens to be a world-class surgeon and a man who listens, touches, and heals...all of which are shalomic activities.…
If one of your older Bibles has maps in the back, you'll notice that this image doesn't match the Dead Sea in your Bible. That's because the water from the Jordan River is being syphoned off for irrigation before it reaches the Dead Sea. And as a result, Dead Sea is becoming "deader" for lack of water. It's become two separate bodies of water, one of which is disappearing. In this third shalom-makers interview, you'll meet a longtime friend of Hands of Hur and our family. Matt Letourneau has done more with his life in four decades than some do in a lifetime. He's an artesian well of innovation, vision and a passion for the gospel. Currently he's the CEO of NeverThirst, a ministry committed to bringing Living Water and clean water to the nearly 800 million people who need both. Now that's about as shalomic as it gets. Come with me on a journey that begins in the American Southeast and extends to Africa and Asia, and has all the evidence of God's anointing and the power of His presence.…
In this second interview with shalom-makers—men and women who see themselves as agents of shalom because they're beneficiaries of grace—Fran introduces Sarah Jackson. The product of a turbulent childhood in a loving home, she found herself being drawn to those we have marginalized, even forgotten, in our ceaseless pursuit of the next new thing. Sarah is a hospice nurse. Even though for most of us, pursuing Sarah's shalomic passion is unlikely, I promise you'll discover that the implications from this provocative interview will motivate you to say or do something for someone that you've known for a long time is overdue.…
This is the first of a series of interviews with shalom-makers who've learned to live on the flip-side because they understand the front-side of theology. Tracy Hipps' childhood was horrific and traumatic. Yet, he discovered that his own pain made him empathetic rather than merely pathetic and angry. He found his greatest joy in giving away rather than getting even. You'll find hope and encouragement for your own life by paying attention to the obvious healing and good fruit that comes from pursuing shalom for others' lives rather than lamenting or focusing on its absence in your own.…
You've probably heard a Christian described as someone who's "going to heaven when they die," because they "invited Jesus into their hearts." It's a pleasant thought. But, it's also incorrect. It reduces salvation and faith to two points on a line, one at the beginning and one at the end. Unfortunately, it leaves out the line itself! A person's entire life on earth. What happens during that "in between" time is important to God. In fact, He has a plan to make us less like Adam and more like Jesus. We call it sanctification. That's what God wants to do. Have you ever wondered why? What's the point? In this fifth and final installment of Fran's "Four Dimensional Theology" series, he pushes out the boundaries of our own transformation and leads us back to the purposes of God for the world and His own glory.…
Why do you think Yeshua spoke about "doing" righteousness? Why did the prophet Amos talk about righteousness rolling down like "an ever-flowing stream"? Why would Paul tell a young pastor, a beneficiary of Christ's righteousness, to " pursue righteousness," and that the Scriptures are "profitable for... training in righteousness"? Maybe it's time that we mature beyond our one and two-dimensional views of righteousness—the ones that bend us towards self -righteousness, and examine the relationship between righteousness and shalom. This episode will be a great beginning on that wonderful journey.…
There’s an unspoken question staring us right in the face on at least thirteen pages of our Bible. Why do you think the Apostle Paul opened each of his letters with a sort of a Hebrew blessing, “grace to you and peace from God our Father…” ? Why would Paul ask God to give his listeners two things they already had?— “Grace” from God, and “peace” with God? In particular, what could possibly prompt Paul to pray that God would multiply grace to sinners already justified by grace? Maybe at least part of what makes grace so "amazing," are the other dimensions of it that for the most part, we're oblivious to. This third episode in the "flip side" of Story words turns our favorite word, "grace" over to discover some unknown things about it that truly are amazing. And guess what? You're one of them! __________________________________________________ Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash…
The "Peace Movement"—if there really is such a thing—did not originate with the Sixties youth culture. It's as old as the heart of God Himself. In fact, it's at the very center of His purposes. That means "peace" is an enormous word in the One Story of the One God. Paul used the word over forty times in his letters. He wrote the Greek word for peace, eirēnē , but his mind was marinating in something more ancient. Something with a couple thousand years of meaning behind it. Paul was thinking, “shalom,” one of the most beautiful words in all of Hebrew. A word that refers to everything flourishing as it was originally created to do. Unfortunately, for most of us, when we read about the "peace of God" in the Bible, our minds run quickly to the personal benefits of God's peace for us as individuals. But, just like the Story word, "sin" we looked at in the last episode, the Story word, "peace" also has multiple dimensions to it. And, the majority of them involve us. Yet, not as beneficiaries of shalom, but as it agents. ____________________________________________ Photo by Vasilios Muselimis on Unsplash…
Do you know who's image is on the front of a $100 bill? Lots of folks do. How about the back? You probably didn't do as well on that one. It's odd, because the back of the $100 bill is more colorful and the numbers are bigger. So, why don't we know? Most likely because we're comfortable knowing just the front. For many of us in the faith community—perhaps most—we tend to take the same approach to our understanding of faith and its practice. We end up trying to make a 2-dimensional faith provide understanding and meaning in a 3-dimensional world. In this episode, building on the One Story idea of the previous episodes, Fran Sciacca contends that we need to reexamine our understanding of some of the key "Story words" that our faith is built upon. In this first of a series, Fran takes to the flip-side of our word, "sin," in an attempt to help us better understand the One Story of the One God, and our role in it. _________________________________________________ Link to resource: "What's Wrong With the World?" is here .

When it comes to the One Story of the One God, unfortunately, many believers have their bookmark stuck in the wrong place. They've know some of the Story, but not the whole Story. And as a result, there are counterfeit stories that captivate some of us. Drawing on his metaphor of a Five Act Play from the previous two episodes, Fran explores what happens when we get stuck at the wrong spot in God's Story, and lose track of why we're still here, even though our eternal destiny is secure. What does God want us to do while we wait for the return of Jesus, anyway? Is He pleased that we spend our money, time, and resources in fellowship with one another, worshipping the One who redeemed us? What if there was one thing we can do now , but can't do in eternity? And what if this "one thing" is the "very thing" that explains our presence on earth? The larger world has adopted a Choose Your Own Adventure approach to life. Deciding what's important, and then finding the most efficient and rapid way to get there. Are there "Christian Editions" of the Choose Your Own Adventure model of living? Fran thinks so, and exposes what they look like. Are they really an option for a follower of Jesus in the 21st century? And most of all, are they suitable for traveling the Road to Shalom. Fran tackles all of this in this third and final installment of his One Story series. You'll want to listen to this one more than once...and very likely return to the previous two episodes as well. _______________________________________ OTHER RESOURCES BY FRAN SCIACCA: "What's Wrong With the World?" - evangelism & discipleship video curriculum "Knot or Noose? - Recovering the Mystery of Marriage" - small group video curriculum "The Darkside Challenge" - social media and tech self-audit "Getting the Big Picture" - Old Testament survey course "Yeshua in Four Dimensions" - the four Gospels (survey course) "To The Ends of the Earth" - New Testament survey course "The 15/30 Series" - studies for spiritual formation (Genesis, Psalms, Mark, Paul) ___________________________________________ Photo by Emily Rudolph on Unsplash…
If someone were to ask you, "What is the Bible?" How would you respond? Would you say, "It's the Word of God" ? What if they asked you another question, like, "About what?" What would you say then? Our perspective on the Bible not only determines what we think about it. It dictates what we do with it, and why. Is the Bible really an anthology of books and letters? Or is it a textbook of sorts, with answers to all life's conudrums? The source of a distinctly "Christian worldview"? Or perhaps it's a handbook , a sort of "disciplopedia" on how to live "the Christian life"? What if it's all of this, but much more? And, what if the "much more" has a claim on your life on one hand, and is the very thing you were made for on the other? In this episode, Fran Sciacca takes us on a journey into the One Story of the One God, with a particular focus on how getting this right can shape our lives, and getting it wrong can make people hate God. _______________________________________ OTHER RESOURCES BY FRAN SCIACCA: "What's Wrong With the World?" - evangelism & discipleship video curriculum "Knot or Noose? - Recovering the Mystery of Marriage" - small group video resource "The Darkside Challenge" - social media and tech self-audit "Getting the Big Picture" - Old Testament survey course "Yeshua in Four Dimensions" - the four Gospels (survey course) "To The Ends of the Earth" - New Testament survey course "The 15/30 Series" - studies for spiritual formation (Genesis, Psalms, Mark, Paul) ___________________________________________ Photo by Ben White on Unsplash…
The people of God have had a perennial problem trying to discover a sense of identity within the cultures they have found themselves throughout history. They have, in the words of Fran Sciacca, often "resembled a cast of characters in search of a plot." And when the road in search of a plot ran dry, more often than not, they settled for an agenda rather than a plot. Or worse, chose a plot that served their own purposes. In this premier episode for 2021, Fran suggests that American evangelicalism has become more of a nursery of infants living on milk, than a group of mature Christ followers. His solution? To rediscover the One Story of the One God...and to truly know it, personally and corporately. _______________________________________ OTHER RESOURCES BY FRAN SCIACCA: "What's Wrong With the World?" - evangelism & discipleship video curriculum "Knot or Noose? - Recovering the Mystery of Marriage" - small group video resource "The Darkside Challenge" - social media and tech self-audit "Getting the Big Picture" - Old Testament survey course "Yeshua in Four Dimensions" - the four Gospels (survey course) "To The Ends of the Earth" - New Testament survey course "The 15/30 Series" - studies for spiritual formation (Genesis, Psalms, Mark, Paul)…
