    S09 Ep10 - Evangelisation: Witnessing or Trying to Win

    In this episode of Living Fullness, Stina and Padre unpack and dive deep into what evangelisation actually is ...and what it is not. They discuss what is the role of the laity, what it is to be an authentic witness to the Truth and how true evangelisation is done with individual catered encounters. Plus, they cover the grand question whether evangelisation is simply about debating people online, convincing others intellectually, or “winning” arguments?

    In this final part of the book study on ‘A Grief Observed’, Stina and Padre reflect on the closing chapter of the book and the reality that grief is not something we “get over,” but something we learn to carry.

    In Part 2 of their book study on A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis, Stina and Padre explore how grief reshapes memory, identity, and our experience of love.

    In this deeply human and honest episode, Stina and Padre begin their three-part book study on A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis. Together, they explore the raw and complex reality of grief—not as a neat concept, but as a lived, often overwhelming experience.

    S09 Ep06 - Why Christianity Feels Polarising Today - Comfort & Conviction

    Why does living the Christian life feel so uncomfortable—and even polarising—in today’s culture? In this episode, Stina and Padre explore the growing tension between a world that prioritises comfort, personal truth, and self-definition, and a faith that calls us to objective truth, transformation, and holiness. They unpack why Christianity can feel confronting, how to respond to cultural polarisation with both truth and charity, and why discomfort might actually be a sign of growth—not something to avoid.   Chapters: 00:00:00 - 00:07:01 - Comfort vs. Conviction in Christianity 00:07:02 - 00:11:46 - The Dichotomy of Uniqueness and Uniformity 00:11:47 - 00:19:35 - The Nature of Truth and Relativism 00:19:36 - 00:23:27 - Navigating Cultural Polarization 00:23:28 - 00:33:43 - Expecting Opposition in Faith 00:33:44 - 00:35:18 - Reflections on Grief and Community 00:35:19 - 00:40:04 - Truth, Beauty, and Goodness - A Virtue Ministry Podcast - Please find all the information of todays episode in the show notes below: https://www.virtueministry.org.au/podcast/podcast-notes/  Subscribe or Follow the Podcast and help us share our mission.

    S09 Ep04 - When to Stand and When to Flee: How to Respond to Temptations

    Scripture tells us both to stand firm and to flee from temptation—but how do we know which to do and when? In this episode, Stina and Padre unpack one of the most practical questions in the spiritual life: how to respond to temptation, especially in areas of doubt and purity. They explore why fleeing is often the wisest response, how to discern the movements of the heart, and how self-knowledge and grace shape our ability to stand and fight.   Timestamps: 00:00:00 - 00:04:27 - Understanding Doubt and Purity 00:04:28 - 00:11:59 - Discernment in Spiritual Life 00:12:00 - 00:17:41 - Goals vs. Boundaries in Relationships 00:17:42 - 00:20:08 - Understanding Shame and Vulnerability 00:20:09 - 00:23:09 - Healing Through Connection and Love 00:23:10 - 00:29:32 - Truth, Beauty, and Goodness - A Virtue Ministry Podcast - Please find all the information of todays episode in the show notes below: https://www.virtueministry.org.au/podcast/podcast-notes/  Subscribe or Follow the Podcast and help us share our mission.
