Join us for an enlightening conversation with the legendary Glen Scrivener at the Speak Life headquarters in Eastbourne, as we unlock the secrets of divine communication through the beauty of language, poetry, and song.
Explore the evolution of human expression from simple sounds to the profound harmonies of sacred music, and discover how heavenly realms perfect communication through these art forms. Hear how Charles Wesley's hymns have deeply influenced theological thought, offering a spiritual resonance that transcends mere words.
Unlock the intersection of ancient philosophy and contemporary music as we juxtapose the ideas of Plato, Descartes, and Immanuel Kant with the lyrical genius of John Belushi. Experience the gripping power of non-Christian music alongside scripture, and understand how their poetic nature can reveal profound truths about existence.
Through the lens of speech act theory and a deep dive into the call-and-response patterns found in both scriptures and poetry, we demonstrate the transformative impact of words in creating and shaping our reality.
Finally, we delve into the biblical concept of dominion and the profound significance of naming. Reflect on Adam and Eve's act of naming as a foundational element of creation, drawing parallels to Christ's commissioning of believers. We explore how words hold the power of life and death, influence identities, and reveal our true selves. Through vivid storytelling, we illustrate how Jesus’ parables shift perspectives and immerse listeners in alternate realities, challenging our understanding of beginnings and existence. Join us for a poetic journey that promises to reshape your worldview.
The theme music is "Wager with Angels" by Nathan Moore
