Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland

In this interview, Paul & Steph (who lead The Cause to Live For) share some of their story and the redeeming work of God in their lives.

They share about the joys and challenges of following Jesus and walking in our calling, covering a range of topics including the importance of owning our stuff, saying ‘yes’, immersing yourself in the local church, and standing firm on the truth of God in every season.

At Cause Ireland Morag Stewart spoked from John 21, telling the story of the resurrected Jesus appearing to his disciples on a beach and making them breakfast.

She inspired a generation to fix their eyes on Jesus, to be fed and filled by him alone and then to go with a readiness to share his love and light to those around us.

Alan Carson challenged a generation by sharing that it’s not enough to be part of a movement that has stories of “doing the stuff” or to sit in churches week in week out gathering information. He reminded us that we are all called, as followers of Jesus, to carry his power and presence into the everyday circumstances of our lives; to see his Kingdom come and his will be done in thousands of creative ways. For that to be a reality in our generation and for those who come after us, we need to know how to live in intimacy with and dependence on the Holy Spirit, allowing his power and his guiding to inform our moment-by-moment lives.

At Cause Ireland, Andy Smith spoke about the impact of a lifetime of obedience, the God-given potential that we carry, and partnering with Jesus to bring about his Kingdom on earth.

Recorded live in May 2024 at Cause Ireland in Belfast.

This seminar provides church leaders with some basic orientation and skills for helping individuals and groups engage in evangelism across cultural, ethnic, and racial difference. Participants are given tools to deepen their self-awareness and to help guide church leaders in thinking about how to grow a faithful multiethnic witness.

Parenting as a church leader is filled with amazing opportunities and some unique challenges. We have to parent in a goldfish bowl, navigate the needs of our family and our churches, deal with confidentiality, the pressure of congregational expectations and more. 

The good news is that church leadership is a context where our families can thrive, not simply survive. Based on years of research and the book "Parenting as a Church Leader", this seminar empowers parents in ministry leadership to help their children thrive at home, in church, and in their own connection with God. With foundational and practical approaches to parenting in ministry, this seminar will hopefully leave you feeling affirmed and more confident in your parenting for the long haul.
