    What's happening with a fresh move of unity and prayer amongst students in the UK?- with Aaron Nayagam & Christa Lyth

    One of the biggest sources of encouragement we've been getting from the church in Europe, has been the increase in unity especially through prayer, and within emerging generations. Fusion has a recent and powerful story of breakthrough in UK-wide unity and the explosion of united prayer events with university students across the land.  In this episode, you can hear the stories of church unity for the sake of college student mission from leading voices in England & Wales and Scotland. The team also gathers some practical next steps for those of us in the US church who want to see greater unity and partnership across believers in the States too. You can see more of the good news from Fusion here: @hellofusionmovement & Aaron Nayagam @fusionscotland & Christa Lyth And a recent article about this specific story: Reconciliation and Friendship Hosting conversations to strengthen you and your local church with the tools and confidence to love, reach and disciple college students.

    How can we make the meal table a place of mission for college students? - with Tre Giles

    A great conversation with our friend Tre Giles who is the National Director of College & University Engagement for Alpha USA. We explore the power of the table to invite and level spaces in equality and dignity, we chat the power of food to connect and express life, and the power of real conversations, questions and listening to open up relationships between people and Jesus. For more info about hosting a table in missional ways check out Alpha.  To connect with Tre, follow him on instagram or find him here.

    Our church is next to campus, how do we love our student neighbors? - with Megan Trischler

    This week we hear from Meg, the co-senior pastor of University Christian Church, Cincinnati. As you might be able to guess from the church's name, this community was planted decades ago to love, reach and disciple the university populations surrounding them, growing into an intergenerational church family as they go.   Meg stepped into leading the church about five years ago and has lots of wisdom and learning to share with us as she grapples with reaching the next generation on their doorstep. You can check out the church, and follow Meg, at the links below: Church website: https://www.universitychristianchurch.net/ Church insta: https://www.instagram.com/university__christian_church/ Meg's insta: https://www.instagram.com/walk.with.meg/ Hosting conversations to strengthen you and your local church with the tools and confidence to love, reach and disciple college students.

    Accidental vs intentional college student ministry: what's the difference?

    Welcome back to Season Two of the podcast! Your Fusion team hosts, Shook and Miriam, kick off the new year with a discussion around how local churches can move beyond seeing students on a Sunday randomly, to inviting, expecting and discipling students in their community.

Claire and Jeremiah are the other members of the Fusion USA team, and along with Shook, have decades of student ministry experience and learning around navigating returning students during the holidays. We will all have people in our church families who return to "home" in this season and have very mixed expectations and experiences about this transition. How can we welcome one another? Notice? Ask good questions? Build a sense of belonging even if only seasonally? All this and more on our final episode of 2025!
