Commending & Contending The Gospel Coalition

Contending side by side in the church, as women and men can be wonderful, but it can also be done poorly. How do we encourage one another, with our differences to contend together?

How old is too old to lead a church planting team? Rod Bayley shares his story of diving into a new church plant.

Helen Bell shares how she’s working on having more conversations about Jesus, and how we might be more pro-active and better prepared for these moments.

Archie shares with us the power of taking a stance of curiosity when we engage with books and writers outside our Christian circle. He invites us to consider how we might learn from the wisdom that God has scattered generously amongst all people.
Archie recommends some interesting books, which challenged him to think about how we might be ready to commend and contend for the gospel, as the church.

We made it! All twenty episodes of Season One are done and dusted. We are grateful for all the guests who made time to join us on the podcast. And thanks also to all of you who’ve listened and shared (we’ve even been featured in a local church’s newsletter).
Sometimes our guests had more to say than we could fit in the episode, so we’ve saved those bonus bits and made sure you get to hear them in this final episode. Also, if you listen carefully, at about the halfway point of this episode, you’ll hear our friendly dog barking—just keeping it real.
