    Ps. Mark Kelsey Answers our Interns' Questions

    Welcome to the Podcast, Pastor Mark Kelsey! It was an honour to sit down with Pastor Mark, a legend of the C3 movement and expert in leadership. For this episode, we asked our interns and next-gen leaders to send in the questions on their minds. Every leader, emerging or experienced, needs to hear these answers! Pastor Mark Kelsey joined C3 three weeks after it started, planted the first C3 church in America, trained church planters across six continents through Express, and has spent 46 years helping to build a movement that now spans more than 600 churches worldwide. Whether you're an intern just starting out, a young leader finding your feet, or a pastor wanting to go the distance, this conversation is worth your full attention.

    Can Christians Watch Horror Movies?

    The Bible doesn't say horror movies are a sin. It also doesn't say gambling, vaping, or binge-watching MA-rated shows are sins. So where does that leave us? Simo, Pastor Nate and young adults leader Jack Roberts get into the grey zone, the space between explicit sin and spiritual growth. They talk about what Paul actually meant in 1 Corinthians 6:12, why everything we consume shapes us and how to let the Holy Spirit lead rather than just a rulebook. There's some self-incrimination along the way and a few good one-liners.

    Bonus - Pastor Mark Kelsey - Brotherhood LIVE

    Recorded LIVE at Brotherhood Night, this message from Pastor Mark was so profound, we knew we had to get it out to the whole church. Sharing scriptures that shaped his life, Pastor Mark takes us through his story: From the earliest days of C3 in Sydney (falling flat on his face leading his first meetings) to the power of remaining planted in God's house over 40 years of ministry. This is a sermon that WILL challenge, encourage and empower you. So are you ready for what God has for you?

    Why The Grind Might Actually Be the Main Quest

    Nobody told us the fight God called us to would feel this ordinary. In this episode Simo and Pastor Daz dig into the comparison trap, the grind of everyday life, and why the mundane might actually be exactly where God has you. They talk about social media highlight reels, gratitude as an underrated weapon, and the story of Caleb — a man who held a vision for 40 years through the desert and came out stronger. If you've been feeling like your life isn't measuring up, this one's for you. Note: this is part two of a conversation — grab EP9 first for the full picture.

    Project 100/Next 50: The Vision for EVERY Australian

    Australia needs more life-giving churches. In this episode, Simo sits down with C3 Australia Regional Directors, Pastor Lars and Megan Halvorsen, to unpack Project 100 — the goal to plant 100 new churches and transition 50 more to new leadership in the next decade. They talk about the difference between a cruise ship church and an aircraft carrier church, why you don't need a mega personality to plant a church, and what to do when God starts stirring something in you again. Whether you're 22 or 65, there's a place for you in this vision. C3 Church Victory is based in Newcastle, Australia.

    Should Christians Play Video Games?

    Should Christians play Video Games, or should we stay away? Simo and Pastor Daz get honest about why gaming gets such a bad rap from the pulpit, where the real line is between a healthy hobby and an unhealthy escape, and what's actually going on beneath the surface when gaming (or anything else) becomes the thing we run to. They dig into restlessness, purpose, and the bigger battle men are made for, with practical advice for anyone wanting healthier boundaries. Stick around for a fun top-five childhood games chat at the end. C3 Victory Church is based in Newcastle, Australia. Follow the pod for new episodes and share this one with a mate who needs it.

    Conviction, Legalism and Why Church Still Matters

    Chris is fresh into fatherhood, Nate's obsessing over beehives, and Pastor Daz swings by for one of the most honest conversations about church the guys have had yet. Is showing up every Sunday just legalism — or are you actually missing something? The crew unpacks why consistent church attendance is harder than ever, what happens when conviction loses its heart, and the surprising stats that back up what scripture has said all along. Pastor Nate and Pastor Daz both share their top reasons for being planted in the house of God, and the guys finish with a practical, zero-pressure challenge for anyone wanting to take a step.
