EP#03 Dwelling in the local: Mark Lau Branson

Leaving Egypt Podcast

Our work is only possible with your support. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber to enable us to continue with the podcast. Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet Mark Lau Branson (Pasadena, California USA) to reflect on the concrete ways he has borne witness to the Gospel in his community and multi-ethnic church in a disruptive society. Mark has a unique gift of connecting the local with the broader changes in society. He is a Senior Professor of Practical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, serves as Senior Community Engagement Strategist on the Advisory Board of CHERP Solar Works, and participates in his local church. Jenny and Al chat with Mark about his sense of the unraveling, and we get a picture of how this looks in the cultures and the churches across the USA. Further, Mark describes how his own multi-cultural church has been working at being a people of God in their communities.  - Links - For Alan J Roxburgh: http://alanroxburgh.com/about https://www.themissionalnetwork.com/author/alan-roxburgh/ https://journalofmissionalpractice.com/alan-roxburgh Twitter: https://twitter.com/alanjroxburgh?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetwork Joining God in the Great Unraveling https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-God-Great-Unraveling-Learned/dp/1725288508/ref=sr_1_ Leadership, God’s Agency and Disruptions https://www.amazon.ca/Leadership-Gods-Agency-Disruptions-Confronting/dp/1725271745/ref Joining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our Time https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-Remaking-Church-Changing-World/dp/0819232114/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2NHGW8KB7L0SQ&keywords=Alan+J+Roxburgh&qid=1687098960&s=books&sprefix=alan+j+roxburgh%2Cstripbooks%2C130&sr=1-3 For Jenny Sinclair: Website: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclair LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CG Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUK Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ For Mark Lau Branson:  https://www.cherpsolar.org/ https://www.fuller.edu/faculty/mark-lau-branson/ Churches, Cultures and Leadership  https://www.churchesculturesleadership.com/ https://www.amazon.ca/Churches-Cultures-Leadership-Congregations-Ethnicities/dp/1514002876/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2MN6B2ZOGI7W9&keywords=Mark+Lau+Branson&qid=1688660646&s=books&sprefix=mark+lau+branson%2Cstripbooks%2C133&sr=1-1 Leadership, God’s Agency and Disruptions https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Gods-Agency-Disruptions-Confronting/dp/1725271745/ Memories,  Hopes and Conversation Memories, Hopes, and Conversations: Appreciative Inquiry, Missional Engagement, and Congregational Change: Branson, Mark Lau Starting Missional Churches https://www.amazon.ca/Starting-Missional-Churches-Life-Neighborhood/dp/1459699548/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2MN6B2ZOGI7W9&keywords=Mark+Lau+Branson&qid=1688660708&s=books&sprefix=mark+lau+branson%2Cstripbooks%2C133&sr=1-7 Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe
