Pulling together the ethics of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the surprising depth of Australian kids cartoon “Bluey”, Vince shares about his complicated feelings around things like Veteran’s Day, as someone who is BOTH anti-military-industrial-complex AND grateful for the way the army saved his brother.

How do we stay sane right now?

The Brown Line Church Podcast ·

2025/11/04

Hayley closes our series on question-asking by posing a question that’s been on her mind: “How do we stay sane right now?” Is a desire for balance and stability a fruitless pursuit in the midst of ongoing chaos? Radical acceptance may be our way forward together.

Longing & Lament

The Brown Line Church Podcast ·

2025/10/21

The questions we ask in life tend to reveal what we wish to see, both in our own lives and in the world around us. Hayley looks to the story of Jesus healing a woman in a crowd (Mark 5:25-34) to explore how our questions of longing bring about new possibilities.

We are NOT hiding from existential angst

The Brown Line Church Podcast ·

2025/10/14

The questions people in our community are asking aren’t solved with neat and tidy answers; they require ongoing courage, risk, direction. With help from Psalm 90 and Søren Kierkegaard (the Christian grandfather of Existential thought), Vince tries to offer some guidance.

2025/10/07

Hayley wants us to think about the questions we’re asking with our lives and our posture as we ask them, because our questions — not so much our answers — are how we live fully, fruitfully, meaningfully.

Loneliness (Shoulds & Coulds, wk 3)

The Brown Line Church Podcast ·

2025/09/23

Against the backdrop of constant discussion of authoritarianism, free speech and political violence, Vince traces the way late modern culture can lead us toward a lonely competition tormented by coulds, or it can lead us toward deep experiences of consolation with others that make life worth living. How do we help point things toward the latter?Join our live chat! https://discord.gg/MNXJSM8New here? http://brownlinechurch.org/connectResources http://brownlinechurch.org/resources Donate

Vince's journey with Baptism

The Brown Line Church Podcast ·

2025/07/15

Whatever your feelings (or lack of feelings at all) around the Christian ritual of baptism, Vince has probably been in the same boat as you at some point over the last decade. What does it matter?
