Sharing the gospel isn't always easy, in fact for many, its hard. So how do we overcome that and what are some of the common barriers we face as christians & the Church? How does mission & evangelism work, what does cross-cultural mission look like, how do we know someone is ready to be sent overseas, what about culture and our new identity in Christ?

Dr Jansen Condren is a Head of Old Testament at SMBC.
Subjects discussed in this episode include the structure, history & genre for Proverbs. How we should approach Proverbs and study it. The practical outworking from our study. We address the assumed contradictions in Proverbs that so many get stuck on, the difference between virtue/wisdom. How we should be cautious in understanding and applying Proverbs and we also tackle the big question so many have, what does it mean to Fear the Lord.Finding favour in the Sight of God - by Richard Belcher

Come experience a Christmas miracle - a 20 min episode!
No but seriously, what a joy we have before us to feast and celebrate the King. So what does that look like? Should we be opulent? How does Scripture highlight this? And what if we aren't the place to rejoice this season? This is navigated through Isaiah 25 & Luke 1. We, as christians, have such incredible hope that transforms bitterness and pain. Let us come and adore Him, regardless of where we are at.
This episode is brought to you by YOU our listeners. Where you can hear other listeners traditions and perhaps be inspired to start your own!?

In this episode, we have the pleasure of hearing from Rachel Ciano, one of the co-authors of the new book, "10 Dead Gals You Should Know." This book delves into the stories of 10 remarkable women who dedicated their lives to advancing the Gospel throughout the last 2000 years. It paints a diverse tapestry of women, ranging from the gentle and meek to the bold and courageous, from quiet servants to witty and vocal disciple makers. It will make you laugh and cry as you relate to the women who have gone before us and left such incredible legacies.
In our conversation, we explore the significance of history in the context of the church and our faith. We also take a deep dive into the fascinating history of the women featured in the book, discussing the concept of biblical womanhood and shedding light on the invaluable lessons they have left for us today.

We give a lot of attention, rightly so, to the sins we have committed both intentionally and unintentionally. But do you ever give thought to the sin of omission, the sin committed purely by NOT taking action? Not sure what we are talking about? Think about the moments where you have ignored the call to do good work, God's work.
James 4:17 reads, If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
We need to be paying just as much attention to those moments when we don’t do what we ought to do. Repenting, with a heart to change and grow.
I first heard Jacinda speak about this in 2022 and decided to have her on to help us unpack it a little further.. We discuss what this looks like in the day to day, what scripture has to say about it, how it impacts our faith, along with some practical steps (cue the 5 P’s!) on how to help us grow in this area. Promise you, you will greatly benefit from hearing this one. I have seen great change in my own life from it, I have no doubt you will as well.

Sarah shares her testimony and also her insights into this silent struggle so many of us face and gives us wisdom and practical tips on how we can fight the good fight and conquer love & sexual additcion. We also discuss the prevalence of this for women and how churches can participate in supporting others to find freedom. Make sure you share this episode, you never know who you know may be silently struggling.

According to research overseas 70% of men within the church engage in watching porn regularly and over 50% pastors also struggle. It goes even higher to 76% when its men under the age of 25. But women aren’t void of this either, there is a silent battle going on for women as well. 87% of christian women have seen porn and of that under the age of 30, 33% watch porn monthly. Keep in mind that 40% of viewers worldwide are women. The devastating side effect of that is that 94% of our children will see porn before the age of 14 with the average age of introduction at 8. Porn & Sexual addiction is a pervasive and destructive hidden sin that is happening within the Church and we must start addressing it. So it begs the question, why is it not discussed regularly and why is the Church so ill equipped to handle it?
In this episode, we address the why and more importantly the HOPE that is available to us all. Bernard runs a ministry throughout Australia and NZ that helps equip churches and sees individuals set on a path of freedom and restoration from this often overlooked and guilt ridden, shame-filled battle that so many are in. We discuss everything from why it's a growing issue, how to find support, how leaders can create change, how you can support others (including what not to do!!!!) and what the journey of restoration looks like.
Whether this a journey you are on yourself, know someone who is or potentially just blissfully unaware, then this episode is for you. Let us grow in understanding and grace so that we can work towards wholeness and redemption from the waging war that is silently sweeping our church and devastating lives.

Please prayerfully consider if this episode is for you. If you are struggling with grief or trauma post an abortion, please know there is help available. You can find a link to a organisation trained in this field in the episode notes.
This episode covers a range of topics surrounding Abortion. Addressing the need for grace and empathy, biblical position on humankind & value, how to participate and engage in conversations surrounding abortion including common objections and how to overcome them, stats and research that highlights misconceptions & assumptions around abortion and ways in which you can help others. This episode by its very nature is a tricky one to tackle. Even though it may seem clear where you land on the debate, we must consider all individuals involved and approach with grace and compassion. It's my hope after listening to this episode you would feel a little more confident to join in on the discussion, consider how to support women facing an unplanned pregnancy and ultimately be christians of both word & deed, that actively work to support women and families, including children, in trying circumstances.
