Ep. 4.8 - On Performing Scripture, Emotional Hermeneutics, and Orality with Gerhard Marx

Ep. 4.8 - On Performing Scripture, Emotional Hermeneutics, and Orality with Gerhard Marx

Gerhard Marx has been on a thirty-year plus journey with orality. With passion and enthusiasm, he tells the story of how God led him into orality via prayer and radio. But having been deeply influenced by the Hebrew Bible (what most of us know as the Old Testament), Gerhard also discusses how critical an understanding of performance and emotion are for truly grasping the orally-rich nature of the Scriptures. Join as we continue to learn together.

Ep. 4.7 - Addressing "the Orality Gap" with Cameron Armstrong

This episode of God Speaks features a dear friend of the Orality Movement—Cameron Armstrong.  With a rich history of serving in Romania and the Philippines, Cameron now leads an Orality Studies program based out of Manila. With a heart for honouring local peoples and learning how to listen and serve with them, Cameron offers insights from his own journey as he shares how God has led him into a greater understanding of the beauty and complexity of orality.  Join us as we learn together.

Ep 4.5 - Learning to Love our Oral Neighbors with Karlena de la Cruz

In our latest conversation on Orality and the Gospel, we speak with Karlena de la Cruz from StoryRunners (Cru) about the vision God has given them: to see followers of Christ in communities of faith among every oral, unreached people group. Join us as we explore how to love our oral-reliant (and oral-preferenced) neighbors—some of whom may live much closer than you realize.

Ep 4.4 - Overcoming Biblical Illiteracy with Oral Strategies: A Conversation with Tara Rye

"We have made an assumption in the North American Church that because we are in church, we are reading the Bible. And we are not. We are biblically illiterate. We don't know what the Bible says; we know what the preacher says."  In this conversation with special guest Tara Rye, we discuss how God disrupted her biblical training, experience and expectations to introduce her to the world of orality. Join us as we explore the journey God has led Tara on as she describes being "re-born" into orality and how God is using her to help others experience God and his Word afresh through oral tools.
