When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik.

It would be easy to reject Jesus based on the lives of others. Most of this podcast has been about others shortcomings and how I've responded to that. You might even determine with a bunch of evidence that I'm not the best follower of Jesus and my actions don't consistently reflect what I say I believe. That is part of everybody's story and we will always make mistakes. If we can learn from others mistakes then we won't have to make them which can only be a good thing! Why don't we consider Jesus first instead of those who claim to represent him? Why don't we discuss him, his actions, his words, his life as a starting point? Why don't we look to Jesus? Larry Norman captured this thought in his song, why don't you look unto Jesus?

s02e13, Imagine 8:55

8:55

Do you ever imagine what your life might be? Turns out to get what we want we might need to live a different way! Jesus imagined a different world in the beattitudes and it is revolutionary, counter-intuitive, and totally not how most people live their lives. Read them in Matthew 5:3-12 (CEV translation) then listen to Imagine by John Lennon . This week George Benson plays Breezin in the background. Full playlist of songs is on Google Play Music, My 3 Sons .…

s02e12, Serve Someone 14:19

5 years之前14:19

14:19

Whether deliberately or incidentally we will serve someone or something. I was terrible at deliberately choosing who or what I would serve but as I've gotten older and understand a little more of the gospels I think it is a lot simpler. Of course I've sifted through plenty of terrible and great advice to get to this point. I'm still not where I need to be but increasingly feel like I'm heading in the right direction. My hope for you 3 boys is that you will be able to sift through the good and bad advice and make great decisions about who and what you serve. Matthew 22:37-39 is the verse I quote from The Passion Translation this week. Tender Surrender by Steve Vai is the background track and the Bob Dylan song, You Gotta Serve Someone is the featured song. The full My 3 Sons playlist is available on Google Play Music.…

s02ep11, Paradise 13:45

13:45

Be generous because we're living in paradise. I reflect on how I reject religion and look for my faith to inform every aspect of my life. We have so much and so many people telling us how we should be living. How do we respond to all this input? This week I use verses from all over the bible that help me attempt to be less religious and more of a genuine follower. I lean into James 1:27 as James is a really influential book in my faith. But I start back in the Old Testament with Deuteronomy 6:5 then bounce in Micah 6:8 on my way to the New Testament and Matthew 6:2-4 , Matthew 23:23 , and Mark 12:30-31 . I remain amazed at how consistently certain messages run through the bible and think that when they're repeated so consistently there must be something to it. The backing track is Spooky as performed by the Atlanta Rhythm Section . I deliberately choose this because of the name of the track and will let you determine why I thought it was apt. It is also a pretty cool tune that one of the bands I was in played. The song this week is Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins . He has already featured in this podcast and in many of his songs he asks really good questions. It is well worth listening to his solo albums and also those of Genesis the band that launched his career. The full My 3 Sons playlist is on Google Play music.…

s02e10, Be Yourself 10:09

I didn't want to be me for years! Why do we pursue the life others project onto us? Actually, I think I just took this on myself when it wasn't there at all. However, don't spend your life living according to popular thinking and doing what others are. Rather be you and make your own decisions about what to wear, what to do, where to go, and what to believe. Song in this episode is Beverly Hills by Weezer. Backing track is The Messiah Melody by Neil Zaza (sorry that I could only find a YouTube link for this track). Full playlist of My 3 Sons available on Google Play.…

This week I talk about getting what you put in. I remember being at school, in bands, riding races and getting what I deserved. Other times I don't get what was deserved both good and bad! But mostly Mum and I think life is about what you put in. In some ways this episode follows on from the Easter Episode as the verse I use is from Luke 23:30 . New Radicals , You Get What You Give is the song this week and the backing track is from the US Army Blues band and called Precious Lord. I don't have a link for that as it came from a CD or download and they don't seem to be on Google Play Music. Full playlist for all the songs from My 3 Sons podcast is on Google Play Music.…

Easter 2020 9:33

What makes me stop and think every Easter! The verse is from Mark 16:8 and even now after many years reading it and knowing what it says I still wonder what on earth happened! My hope boys is that Easter will be a moment you hit pause and refresh in your faith. Not because you've wandered away or made mistakes, but because taking a moment to reflect on where you're at, what you're doing, and how tomorrow might be is essential to living the best life you can. This song is one of my top all songs from an incredibly talented artist who was very controversial. The Cross from Prince is musically stunning and lyrically striking. Unlike so many Christian songs that seem to tell us what to think, Prince asks as to consider the Cross. The background track is a guitarist called Marty Friedman and called the Last Lament (my favorite track of his has the best name, Battle of the Barbie Bandits )!
