What does the future of the church look like? The Forming Church Podcast explores diverse approaches to church planting, mission and evangelism in our rapidly changing world. We want to generate learning and conversation around these areas, while resourcing the next generation of church planters, missional thinkers and followers of Jesus in contemporary Australian contexts. Brought to you by Gen1K Mission and Lead by Story, Forming Church is hosted by Will Small, Benj Gould and Jamie Freeman.

Crowdsourced topic #4: Burnout vs sustainable serving & leading

We gave you a range of options to vote on and we're chatting through how these look in our context and having a conversation trying to explore them from our (limited) perspectives. We're also responding to the fantastic comments people provided in our Facebook page around these topics. No way we could cover all the good stuff that came up there - so take this as a spark, and continue to light the fire of good chats with your crew!

The future of evangelism with Melinda Dwight
Melinda Dwight is the National Director for Alpha Australia. She joined us for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of the Australian church right now, the spirituality of non-churched Aussies, the role of digital technology in evangelism, and a whole range of other good stuff along the way. This conversation was warm, hopeful and full of great insights from Melinda's vantage point working in an organisation that equips all kinds of churches and denominations to help share the good news of Jesus.
