The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Weekly-ish sermon recordings from Geoffrey Roberts at the Whitehouse Church in Canberra, loosely following the Revised Common Lectionary. If you’re a fan of Greg Boyd, Brian Zahnd, and N.T. Wright, among others, you’ll definitely notice the influence of their great ideas. The Whitehouse Church is mostly Neo-Anabaptist~ish, post-evangelical leaning in worldview. We see Jesus as the full expression of what God is like and try to build community around his teachings.

Our picture of God must be shaped by our understanding of Jesus. He is the only true perfect representation of the father, and he is the lens through which we must interpret all Scripture and revelation (Heb 1:1-3). His teaching and example are superior to all others, and when we are faced with complex theological and moral conundrums the sensitivity, graciousness, and kindness of Jesus must be our model for both contemplation and pastoral witness.…
In a world that generally says you can do whatever you want so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, Jesus goes further by teaching his disciples to actively initiate actions that will benefit others. In this way Jesus’ teaching is unique. The love of God is an active love. This is a key distinction between simply being a good person and being like Christ. It is relatively simple to lead a life that does not hurt others but leading a life of love and mercy towards others is much greater.…
The gospels make no secret of Jesus’ concern for the least and the little. His compassion for the outcasts, pariahs and unpopular; his disposition towards the socially unimportant, those deemed sinners, the poor, sick and excluded. The Scriptures labour over Jesus’ love for these people, recording at length the stories where he interacts with the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery, the woman who had a bleeding disease, and the myriad crowds, children, beggars and broken that were drawn toward him.…

The Anabaptists refused violence, promoted local faith communities, rejected the excesses of wealth and cared for the poor, maintained the distinctiveness of the kingdom of God from the kingdoms of the world, and recognised the centrality of Jesus’ ethical teaching and practices for the faithful. I am not an Anabaptist in a strict sense as I have not historic or genealogical connection to the movement. But I am deeply inspired by the Anabaptist integrity to forsake power and peacefully follow the example of Jesus. I am proudly NeoAnabapt ~ish.…
Jesus proclaimed the prophetic message of Isaiah at his own inauguration, just as the prophets of our day bravely rebuke those in power, calling for grace and love rather than judgment and wrath. The kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed was so scandalously gracious the Jews responded with violence. Jesus’ good news was for all the people they hated, all the wrong people. They wanted him to die for offending them. Their understanding of the Scriptures highlighted vengeance and not grace, dogma rather than mercy.…
Oddly the miracle at the Wedding of Cana wasn’t a healing, it was keeping the party going. Jesus revealed his glory by turning water into wine. Food and drink and joyful celebration are central to the expression of Christian faith. This year let’s eat more, drink more, and celebrate more!

He isn’t avoiding us; he isn’t disgusted by us. He isn’t enraged or vengeful. He wants to be near us. All the way from precreation glory in heaven he has pursued us. As a babe born in a manger, he has pursued us. Through a sinless life and unto a cross in our place he has pursued us. And out of the grave he has pursued us. Not God above us. God with us!…

When the birth pains begin. Do not be afraid. Even though everything around you looks out of control, even though there will be horrors and haters and hell on earth; know that it is not without an end. A struggle is underway, but the birth of a new kingdom is a certainty. Jesus’ ministry was defined by his promise that God’s space and our space would one day overlap again. The kingdom of God is near.…
Jesus is appalled how the teachers of the law flaunt their wealth whilst devouring the houses of the widows. The use of manipulation to cajole and bully people to give, specially those with so little, is an affront to God.
When we face challenges and everything seems to be on fire… what do we grab on the way out the door? Do we grab love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? Do we grab onto one another with hope and compassion and cheer? In times of stress, tragedy, confusion, doubt, anxiety, or worry, do we love God and love our neighbour?…
Blind Bartimaeus threw aside his cloak and all that it represented to follow Jesus. He is the exemplar of faithfulness where the rich young ruler was the antithesis. May we all have the courage of this blind beggar who could see who Jesus truly was.
The rich young ruler gained his identity, security and comfort from his wealth. When Jesus told the rich young ruler he must lay down his wealth it was not an accusation of greed, it was a challenge to his identity and his source of power, comfort and security.

Acting against injustice, slavery, oppression, poverty, and the systems that perpetuate a worldview of in and out or us versus them are essential to following Jesus. It is beholden on us as followers of Jesus to ensure we do not cause the little ones of our society to trip and fall, but rather we should be lifting them up.…
Have you even failed a test that you thought you were going to ace? That’s what happened to Peter in Caesarea Philippi. He was expecting a high distinction and instead he got rebuked in front of everyone. In my view, this is amongst the most scathing rebukes that Jesus makes in his entire ministry. Imagine being Peter having his worldview blown apart in this conversation and then being called Satan by the Messiah!…
Ritual and tradition that help us to transform our hearts can be incredibly beautiful, but tradition that only serves to make us feel morally superior and set apart is not beautiful.
