DEI and Glocal Church (Harold Gutierrez interview)

April 01, 2025 by Kevin Rogers in Burnaby BC, Canada, Christianity, Immigration, Kevin Rogers, PAOC, Religion & Spirituality, Urban Ministry, Harold Gutierrez

Diversity, equity and inclusion are all Christian virtues, but they can be disguised as PCIE - Pressured Conformity, Inequity and Exclusion. That can happen easily inside or outside of the Church, but the Church cannot afford to conflate virtue with political pragmatism. The prophetic Church does the quiet work of diversity, equity and inclusion without press releases.

On today’s episode I have a conversation with Harold Gutierrez, who is from Langley BC where he works as the Intercultural and Indigenous Ministries director for the British Columbia and Yukon District of the PAOC. He has pastored in Florida, North Carolina and BC and currently working on a PhD. Today we want to talk about cross cultural communication, discipleship, pluralism and the ways that we can grow in working together across the cultural divides.

Healed Of Schizophrenia (Josh Tamblyn interview)

August 15, 2023 by Kevin Rogers in Josh Tamblyn, Canada, Christianity, Kevin Rogers, Mental Health, Mission Canada, PAOC, Religion & Spirituality, Serve Campus Network, Substance Abuse, Urban Ministry, Burnaby BC

When it comes to medical conditions and healing, Christians hold a range of views from the intervention of doctors and medicine, alternative practices and healing that comes from God. I am not a doctor, so I would never give medical advice but would always encourage people to take a threefold approach to getting help.

First, we ask God for help in all things. Secondly, we investigate and utilize good medicine and thirdly we look at alternative methods when the first two are not yielding a result. Some will try alternative before mainstream and that’s their choice.

I bring this up today as we consider that the spiritual life of a person may be affected by physical and mental conditions. I believe that God heals, and today’s guest passes the test in my mind for a verifiable miracle from God.

Josh Tamblyn was healed of schizophrenia. We’re going to hear his story and also learn about his present involvement in ministry.
