    Ryan Gosling is Literally Me

    SPOILER WARNING: this episode contains free and unfettered discussion of Barbie. If you'd prefer not to have the plot details spoiled, go watch it before listening to this episode! For our 150th episode, Josh is away (whoops!). Never fear though because Jesse gets to talk to friends of the show Viema and Mitch about recent film Barbie. It's the movie that turned more than a few heads recently in the cinema and though we're late to the party, we felt it was still a good time as ever to talk about this fascinating flick. Enjoy the Kenergy and remember, you are Kenough.  If you enjoy the show, remember to leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts (or wherever you listen).

    Prayer is for normal people, too

    Today, we talk about prayer. It's the thing your intense auntie at church is always going on about, but for many of us, prayer isn't a vibrant part of our spiritual life. In fact, for many Christians, it's a point of pain and frustration. It doesn't need to be that way! In this episode we talk about a book both Josh and Jesse recently read called Praying like Monks, Living like Fools by Tyler Staton. The books' great by the way, and if you'd like to read it for yourself, this is a great intro not only to the book, but some of the ideas that have helped transform the way we pray.

    Is PriestGPT the Future of Church? with Jinha Kim

Ok, that last part may be a little dramatic but it's still important to consider the issues. Jinha is a church planter and woman of many talents, and AI has been invaluable for her and her ministry in the increasingly-complex world of urban ministry.    To connect with Jinha's church, check out their website: https://melbournecityadventist.org/

    Do these SIMPLE things and your church will grow!

    Yes, it's click-bait. By our acknowledging this, we're declaring our self-awareness which makes it fine, right? This episode, we finish our two-part conversation on a report recently published on the last 20 years of church trends: the good, the bad and the ugly. This time we dwell a little less on the ugly and more on the good. We also spend some time talking about the outcomes of the report: what they recommend churches do now if they want to experience growth and health.  To read the report for yourself, click here

    Getting the Sabbath Blessing with Chappo and Tarenne

    This week, we sit down to talk with Michael 'Chappo' Chapman and Tarenne 'Tarenne' Greenwood. They both serve at Gateway Church in Cooranbong itself. Yes, these two luminaries condescended themselves long enough to depart the hallowed halls of the holy city itself to join us in the muck and grime of Sydney. Don't fear dear listener, after the interview they safely made it home. Nonsensical ramblings aside, we had a fascinating conversation about Sabbath. As Seventh-day Adventists, it's something near and dear to our heart: so near that it's the first word that comes out of your mouth when speaking the name of our denomination. However, are we practicing it the way it was intended? Is it possible in our eagerness to defend its validity as the "correct" day of worship, we've missed some of what it has to offer? All this and more in this episode. To connect more with Chappo, Tarenne and Gateway, head to www.gatewaycommunity.com.au
