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 talk with Tim Wray about the social, economic and personal challenges of farming and being a person of kingdom commitment.Tim is in his early forties. He is a bi-vocational Lutheran pastor and farmer in Alberta, Canada.  Along with his wife, Joanne and their three children they manage a cattle herd and a small flock of sheep. Coming from a family of farmers, Tim is dedicated to a deep relationship with land. As a Christian, he is involved in regenerative practices and is a member of Alberta’s Regenerative Agriculture Lab. As part of his formation as a Christian leader, Tim has been influenced by Catholic Social Teaching. He is part of a generation of farmers who see how human relationships with the land  are being profoundly changed by land financialization. As large agglomerations take over land ownership, the family farm is threatened with extinction. The conversation with  Tim explores ways in which he is acting to overcome this Egypt and imagine an alternative to the commodification of land.  - 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 Tim Wray: https://rr2cs.ca/regenerative-agriculture-lab/ https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=298678541692579 https://www.lcmairdrie.com/ https://abpdaily.com/trail-blazers/celebrating-wray-ranch-the-2023-environmental-stewardship-award-winner/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe
