    Starve the Algorithm, Part 1: What You Focus On Is Forming You - And Your Phone Knows It // Chris Podlich

    You grab your phone to escape for two minutes and lose an hour. What is all that scrolling quietly doing to you? The average adult spends more than four hours a day on a screen, and most of us reach for our phone the second we want to escape, feel better, or fill a spare minute. This opening message in the Starve the Algorithm series asks a bigger question than screen time: what are the algorithms doing to the realest part of you, the person you are slowly becoming? Drawing on a line from the wisest king who ever lived and aletter written to a small, distracted community two thousand years ago, it explores a simple but unsettling idea: what you focus on ends up forming you. What you'll walk away with:● A clearer picture of what your daily screen ritual is actually costing you, beyond just the hours● Why you are probably more distracted than rebellious, and why that is worth paying attention to● How the content in your feed quietly shapes what you believe about yourself, your relationships,and your worth● Three honest questions to ask yourself this week about when, why, and what you watch● A more hopeful way to change your habits that does not rely on willpower tricks that never seemto last Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Monday for Mondays, Part 3: Made For More Than A PayCheque // Sue Buchanan

    Seven out of ten of us secretly hope our job will prove that our life matters. It was never built to carry that. Most of us don't hate our jobs, we've just quietly started surviving until Friday. This episode digs into why Monday feels so heavy, and offers a different answer than a better boss, abigger salary, or a new roster. Drawing on an ancient letter written to workers who had almost no rights, it explores one unexpected idea that changes how we see our work, thepeople in it, and ourselves. What you'll walk away with: Why chasing a better boss, salary, or roster never fixes the Monday feelingA simple shift that changes how you treat the difficult people you work withHow ordinary, unglamorous tasks can start to feel like they actually matterA way to work hard without carrying pressure that was never yours to holdOne honest question to ask if you'd feel lost without your job titleSpeaker: Sue Buchanan | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Made for Mondays, Part 1: Why Your Work Matters // Chris Podlich

    Only about 1 in 4 people feel engaged at work on an average day. If Monday feels like something to survive, this one's for you. Most of us spend more waking hours working than doing anything else, and a lot of us quietly wonder whether any of it counts for much. This episode pushes back on the idea that work is just a paycheque, or worse, a punishment you're stuck with. Drawing on the oldest story we have about why humans work at all, it makes a case that the ordinary stuff of your week carries far more weight than you think, including the frustrating parts. What you'll walk away with: A different way to answer "what do you do?" that isn't tied to your job titleFour things your work is actually doing, even on the days it feels pointlessWhy the frustrating, thorny parts of your job aren't a sign you're in the wrong placeA simple end-of-day practice for noticing good work instead of only noticing what's left undoneLanguage for talking about purpose at work without sounding like a motivational poster Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    On Read, Part 2: Knowing How to Hear // Chris Podlich

    You send a message, see it marked “read,” and then… nothing. A lot of us feel that way about God too. This week we look at an old story about a kid working in a religious temple who hears a voice calling his name in the middle of the night, three times, before he even realises it's God. It's a strange, oddly relatable story about how easy it is to miss God's voice, not because it's too strange, but because it's too familiar. Chris Podlich unpacks why silence doesn't always mean absence, and shares a simple daily practice for actually learning to notice when God is speaking. What you'll walk away with: A simple explanation for why you might be missing God's voice without realising it Why the busiest, loudest parts of your week are the least likely place to notice him A five minute daily practice you can start today, no experience required Permission to keep listening, even if you're not sure where you stand on faith yet Speaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Finding Your Sweet Spot, Part 3: How To Break Free From the Money Traps Holding You Back // Chris Podlich

    We've all bought something that felt like a great deal at the time, and now we're still paying it off, wondering what we were thinking. If money has ever kept you up at night, this one's for you. This is the final part of a shame-free, guilt-free conversation about money, the kind most of us are already having at home about debt, savings, and what's actually enough. Chris digs into the common traps that quietly drain us, from subscriptions we forgot about to the "emergency" that became permanent, and a 2,000-year-old letter to a young guy named Timothy that names the real problem: it's not money itself, it's the feeling underneath it. The big idea is simple. Live with margin so you can live on mission. No spreadsheets-make-you-cringe lecture, just a practical way to close the gap between your income and your ego. What you'll walk away with: The four money traps that catch almost everyone, and how to spot themWhy wanting to feel rich is more dangerous than wanting to be richA simple give 10 / save 10 / live on 80 starting point you can actually useWhy a budget might be the most spiritual thing you do this weekA reframe on wealth that takes the pressure off keeping up with everyone elseSpeaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Finding Your Sweet Spot, Part 2: How Generosity Is The Counterintuitive Key To Freedom // Chris Podlich

    You think you're a generous person. The round-up at the checkout, the Christmas appeal, the mate who needed a hand. But what if giving and generosity aren't the same thing? This is a shame-free, guilt-free conversation about money, the kind most of us are already having at home about fuel prices, budgets, and what things cost, just with Jesus' perspective added in. Chris unpacks the difference between two kinds of givers, why a plan beats a guilt-trip every time, and a surprisingly old idea from a 2,000-year-old letter that still works today. No pressure, no sad songs, no slide of suffering faces. Just a clear, practical way to decide ahead of time where your generosity goes. What you'll walk away with: A simple test to know whether you're actually generous or just occasionally givingTwo questions that tell you exactly where your money should goWhy picking a percentage beats reacting to whoever guilts you bestA 90-day challenge you can trial with a built-in way outA way to grow your faith that no Bible study can matchSpeaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.

    Finding Your Sweet Spot, Part 1: Why More Never Makes You Happy // Chris Podlich

    Cost of living is up. Groceries are brutal. And somehow, no matter what you earn, it never quite feels like enough. In this episode, Chris Podlich sits down with a pretty uncomfortable question: why doesn't more ever actually satisfy? We're talking social media comparison traps, the mental gymnastics we do around money, and why the goalpost for "enough" keeps moving no matter how far you go. It's an honest conversation about why so many of us feel financially stressed even when, by global standards, we're doing alright, and what it might look like to actually find a line and call it enough. Whether you're juggling rent and groceries, or you've hit every milestone you set and still feel restless, this one's worth your time. 👉 Plan A Visit: https://beyondchurch.com.au/new👉 Discover more about Beyond: https://beyondchurch.com.au/👉 Explore more resources: https://beyondchurch.com.au/sweetspot👉 Support the mission: https://beyondchurch.com.au/give

    This Is Living, Part 4: The Secret To A Fulfilling Life // Sue Buchanan

    We all love a good upgrade. Free business class. Getting the corner office. That little rush when your name gets called first. Be honest, it feels good. We're wired for it. But what if that feeling, that constant hunger for status, recognition, and getting ahead, is actually the thing keeping us from the life we actually want? In this final episode of This Is Living, we're sitting with one of the most genuinely strange ideas in human history: that the most powerful being who ever existed chose to go last. Not because he had to. Because he wanted to. That's not how any religion before Christianity worked. In the ancient world, gods didn't stoop. They demanded. But Jesus flipped the whole script, and the way he did it has something to say about how we chase purpose and why most of us come up empty. There's a fascinating thing about the Dead Sea. It has inflows but no outflows. Water comes in from all directions and just... stays. And here's the thing: it's been shrinking for decades. All that intake, and it's getting smaller. Sound familiar? This episode isn't a lecture. It's an honest look at what happens when we spend our lives climbing a ladder that leads to no one, and what it might look like to try a completely different direction. Whether you've got a faith background or you're just curious, this one's worth a listen. 👉 Plan A Visit: https://beyondchurch.com.au/new👉 Discover more about Beyond: https://beyondchurch.com.au/👉 Explore more resources: https://beyondchurch.com.au/thisisliving👉 Support the mission: https://beyondchurch.com.au/give
