    31.15 Engaging post-Christian worldviews (Kamal Weerakoon)

    How can we respond to the complex & contradictory opportunities to present Christ to contemporary culture? This workshop outlines emerging worldviews—liberty, morality, religion, and spirituality—and shows how each one misunderstands the gospel in different ways. Kamal Weerakoon explores how they blind people to their need for Christ by proposing alternative ways of salvation. Understanding these belief systems and the ways of life they inculcate will help us minister to the different people we will encounter in this time of change. Kamal is an assistant minister at Gracepoint Presbyterian church and an adjunct lecturer at Christ College (Sydney) and the Reformed Theological College (Melbourne).

    31.14 Doing a gospel diagnosis of your neighbourhood (Coz Crosscombe)

    Coz challenges churches to think deeply about mission contextualisation: who’s missing from our churches, how boundaries shape our communities, and why demographic averages often hide local realities. Coz helps us think through what it looks like to walk, shop, and live locally—so that we can truly know and reach the people God has placed around us. Coz Crosscombe is the Project Director of the Well Training Centre YouTube Version CREDITS: The Reach Australia Podcast is brought to you by ⁠⁠Reach Australia⁠⁠ To pray for Reach Australia, join our ⁠⁠WhatsApp Group⁠⁠ For ideas or questions please email ⁠⁠resources@reachaustralia.com.au⁠⁠ Support Reach Australia's online library

    31.13 Preaching judgment with tears (Adam Ch'ng)

    How do you preach judgment without becoming cold—or crushed? Adam Ch'ng speaks to us from Isaiah 24 and the gut-wrenching reality of God’s wrath. It’s not just about saying hard things—it’s about feeling them. We explore what it means to be a preacher who isn’t just right in doctrine but broken in heart. If you’ve ever been tempted to soften the gospel or skip the hard bits, this one’s for you. Brace yourself: it’s heavy, honest, and full of hope. Adam Ch'ng is the senior pastor of Cross and Crown in the suburbs of Melbourne.

    31.12 Mission driving the ecosystem (Greg Lee)

    Mission isn’t a bolt-on feature or a singular gear in the engine; it’s the fuel that drives every part of the church ecosystem. Integrate it, and the whole church comes alive.  Greg Lee unpacks how mission can and must be integrated into every area of church life, from welcoming to administration. Doing so doesn't drain ministry, it ignites it. Greg Lee is the lead pastor at Hunter Bible Church in Newcastle.

  5. 31.11 Leading the team on mission (Phil Colgan)

    31.11 Leading the team on mission (Phil Colgan)

    Evangelistic urgency must start with the leader. Phil Colgan argues that church leaders must personally bleed for the lost if they want to see their churches grow in evangelism. It's not merely about strategy and vision. Culture flows from the top, and that includes zeal. Churches that burn for the lost are led by pastors who bleed evangelism—personally, visibly, and relentlessly. Phil Colgan is the Senior Minister at St George North Anglican Church in Sydney.

  6. 31.10 Mission for the glory of God (Des Smith)

    31.10 Mission for the glory of God (Des Smith)

    The ultimate goal of salvation, and therefore mission, is that people would glorify God for his mercy.  Des says mission flows from two deep convictions:  first, a grief that people are robbing God of the glory he deserves;  second, a longing for them to see, enjoy, and share in that glory forever.  His challenge to Christian leaders is this: don’t let strategy be your fuel. Let your fire for mission be driven by the glory of God and keep that fire burning by fixing your eyes on Jesus, the radiance of God's glory. Des was the Senior Pastor at Trinity Church Adelaide and is now helping to plant Trinity Church Lockleys, where he now serves.

    31.9 The soil is not as terrible as you thought (Rory Shiner)

    Churches are in decline and it would seem that we are the "bad guys" but Rory Shiner is looking at the bright side of the missional environment we are in. Rory Shiner is senior pastor of Providence City Church in Perth, and the Chair of the The Gospel Coalition Australia Council.

    31.6 Multisite in practice (Paul and Sue Harrington)

    Paul and Sue Harrington join us to reflect on decades of ministry in South Australia and the journey of leading the Trinity Network in South Australia. From one church in the city to a growing network across suburbs and regions, they share what’s shaped their vision, what they’ve learned along the way, and how they’ve seen God at work through it all. The network is currently made up of fourteen churches and they are praying to see more churches planted in the next few years. It’s a conversation about planting, perseverance, partnership—and the privilege of watching the gospel grow.
