Beth has served in Baptist, Anglican and Uniting Church pastoral and denominational roles.  She teaches units in the Graduate Certificate in Children and Families Ministry at the University of Divinity, with a heavy emphasis on intergenerational practices.  

Beth will be leading a workshop at this year's Melbourne Intergenerate on August 21st.

Phil Smith is a former TV journalist, radio host, novelist and RAAF Officer, and is now working on the Sunshine Coast as a Community Pastor with the Uniting Church.

Phil’s career in media and now ministry is fuelled by a love of listening and the privilege of shared stories, and on this episode he shares why it's OK to not go back to default mode in a church setting.
