Liturgical rebels
The Liturgical Rebels podcast is for spiritual seekers who no longer feel comfortable with a traditional approach to Christian religious observances. It empowers followers of Jesus to creatively reconstruct their faith and spiritual practices.
Through conversation with groundbreaking practitioners from around the world who think creatively about new approaches to spirituality, we will emphasize the sacredness of all things and uncover ways in which God speaks to us through nature and creativity, through restorative justice and environmental concern, and through the mundane and ordinary acts of daily life. This podcast is for those who don’t want to just deconstruct, but also to reconstruct faith and spiritual practices; those who want to reshape belief and practice to journey closer to God and the wholeness, peace, justice and flourishing God intends not just for us as individuals but for the earth and all its inhabitants.

Episode 50 - Raising Kids Who Care with Susy Lee
In this engaging conversation, Christine Sine interviews Susy Lee whose eclectic background, experiences, and eventual embrace of family life led her to write her book, "Raising Kids Who Care." The book aims to foster meaningful conversations within families about important social issues, encouraging children to be active participants in the world rather than passive observers. Susy emphasizes the importance of community living and how it enriches relationships, particularly for men who often struggle with social connections post-retirement. 'Raising Kids Who Care' is designed to facilitate conversations about character, consumerism, and the impact of technology on children. Susy shares anecdotes about families who have successfully engaged in these conversations, highlighting the transformative power of open dialogue.
Outtakes:
- 'I realized families are not in talking about this important stuff.'
- 'The main goal of the book really is to get families talking about stuff that matters.'
- 'If we're not intentional about what we want for our family, the world is going to be.'
- 'We need to find ways to give >children< something to do about the things that are wrong.'
