Show Notes
Just because the word 'heresy' has fallen out of fashion, doesn't mean it has ceased to exist.
Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen kick off season three of With All Due Respect, turning their attention to this thorny topic.
Their examination begins with a look at the Netflix movie The Two Popes and how it presents a recent clash of theologies in the Catholic church.
Then in For Arguments Sake, Megan and Michael discuss how heresy is currently defined, where it's likely to turn up in the church and what 'heresies' the media has found interesting - including the Christian angst over Israel Folau - as well as how we should go about dealing with heresies when we find them.
Finally, what heresies do Megan and Michael find personally attractive? Well, tune in to find out...

Help internally displaced people in Africa!
Disasters and conflicts have led to a record number of over 75 million internally displaced people, or IDPs, around the world. IDPs are people who have been forced to flee their homes but have not crossed international borders.
Almost half of all IDPs - more than the population of Australia and New Zealand combined - are in sub-Saharan Africa.
Most of the displaced have left everything behind: their homes, belongings, and livelihoods. They urgently need food, shelter, clothing, and trauma counselling. So Anglican Aid has launched a Forced to Flee Emergency Appeal to provide essential aid to IDPs in Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond. This aid will be distributed by local churches, who are sacrificially providing for the needs of the displaced, and pointing them to the God who is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
What is With All Due Respect?
Less aggro, more conversation.
Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it.
There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.
