    S3E8: Willpower Won’t Win This War | A Conversation with Dale Simons

    If Jesus has already won, why does following him still feel like such a fight? Nathan McLean sits down with Dale Simons, Campus Pastor at Hillsong Melbourne East, to unpack his message This Means War. Dale shares the personal moment that sparked the message, and why he's convinced the fullness of life Jesus promises isn't taken without a fight. Together they talk honestly about the pull of old habits, the danger of a "half gospel", and why winning the war within has far less to do with trying harder than we think. ✨ Key Themes- The promise required a battle: what Israel entering the Promised Land teaches us about the promises of God.- Not trying harder: it's not a gospel of works, it's about feeding your spirit.- Look at Jesus, not the struggle: why old habits lose their pull in his presence.- Snacking vs feasting: a verse a day is good, but it isn't a meal.- Regularity, not religiosity: keeping rhythms with God when you don't feel it.- Repent, replace, refill: three rhythms for the war within.- The full gospel: forgiveness is the entry point, not the finish line. 📖 Scripture References- Galatians 5:16–17: the war between the Spirit and our sinful nature- John 16:7: Jesus says it's better that he goes, so the Holy Spirit can come- Romans 8:11: the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us- James 4:8: draw near to God and he will draw near to you- John 10:10: the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy; Jesus came to give life to the full 📚 Resources- Dale's message This Means War, the previous episode of the Hillsong Australia Podcast 🚶 Next Steps- Trade a snack for a feast: set aside unhurried time in the Word this week, ask God to speak, and dwell on it.- Pray beyond the wish list: spend part of your prayer time simply waiting on God.- Shift your focus: instead of fixating on the habit you're fighting, spend that energy looking at Jesus.- Find your people: read a passage with a friend and talk about what stands out.- Ask to be refilled: invite the Holy Spirit to fill you, every day. 🔗 Links🌐 Learn more about Hillsong Australia: hillsong.com/australia📍 Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australia📲 Subscribe to the Hillsong Australia Podcast on your favourite platform and follow @hillsongaustralia Bringing Sunday into your everyday.

    S3E7: This Means War | Dale Simons

    There's a battle happening within each of us, between the life we want to live and the things that pull us away from God. But we haven't been left to fight that battle alone. In this message, Pastor Dale Simons explores the reality of our struggle with sin and the supernatural life God has made available to us through His Holy Spirit. The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, empowering us to bring the reality of God's Kingdom into our everyday lives. So how do we begin to win the war within? Through three rhythms: repent, replace and refill. Discover what it looks like to bring our hearts before God, fill our minds with His truth and allow the Holy Spirit to renew, fuel and empower us to live the life He has called us to. God has more for us than a life of simply going through the motions. It's time to move beyond religion and step into the Spirit-filled life He intended for us. Listen now and be encouraged to live from the victory Jesus has already won. 🌐 Learn more about Hillsong Australia: hillsong.com/australia📍 Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australia📲 Subscribe to the Hillsong Australia Podcast on your favourite platform and follow @hillsongaustralia Bringing Sunday into your everyday.

    S3E6: We Want Explanations. God Wants Trust. | A Conversation with Danielle Jeyaratnam

    What do you do when trusting God means letting go of the answers you want? Building on her message at Hillsong Conference 2026, Danielle Jeyaratnam, Lead Pastor of Hillsong New York, sits down with Shekeinah Hill to talk about what surrender actually looks like in everyday life. Danielle has said some big yeses, from the Hills to City, to Perth, to New York. But this conversation is about the yeses nobody saw. A self-confessed control freak who likes to know every detail, she talks honestly about fear, trust, slowing down and learning to rely on God when the explanations don't come. ✨ Key Themes- Surrender is trust, not loss: an active leaning into Jesus, even when every yes means saying goodbye to something.- A thousand little yeses: the small, unseen choices that shaped Danielle long before the big moves.- Surrendering fear: from staying home to avoid rejection to never saying no to a God-breathed opportunity out of fear.- Slowing down: why stillness in God's presence became key to discerning what's next.- Unanswered questions: what helps her keep trusting when life doesn't go to plan.- "Our kingdom come": her daughter's Lord's Prayer mix-up, and the quiet signs we're building our own kingdom.- A family's yes: raising four daughters through a life of moves, goodbyes and following Jesus. 📖 Scripture References- Isaiah 55:8–9: God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours- Matthew 6:10: "Your kingdom come, your will be done"- Philippians 1:21 + Luke 9:23: surrender always involves dying to something- Matthew 6:24: we can't serve two masters 💬 Quotes"We all surrender to something, or someone. It's just who do we choose that to be." – Danielle"Trust sounds so beautiful until you're living with unanswered questions." – Shekeinah"If we don't slow down enough to listen to the voice of God, how can we possibly discern whether the next step is the thing that we should be doing?" – Danielle"I can trust that God does, even when I can't see." – Danielle 🚶 Next Steps- Answer Danielle's question: what's one area of your life where God is asking you to surrender?- Pray the Lord's Prayer slowly and notice where "your" quietly means "mine".- Make space this week to be still before God, not just to talk.- Say one small yes you've been avoiding out of fear.- Share this with someone walking through a harder season. 🔗 Links🌐 Learn more about Hillsong Australia: hillsong.com/australia📍 Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australia📲 Subscribe to the Hillsong Australia Podcast on your favourite platform and follow @hillsongaustralia Bringing Sunday into your everyday.

    S3E5: Surrender | Danielle Jeyaratnam

    What if surrender isn't about losing something, but about trusting Someone? In this message from Hillsong Conference 2026, Danielle Jeyaratnam, Lead Pastor of Hillsong New York, invites us to reconsider what surrender really means. We often think surrender means giving something up, losing control or saying goodbye to what we love. But at the heart of following Jesus is an invitation to trust Jesus with our whole lives. Having said yes to Jesus through seasons that have taken her and Chrishan from Hills to the City, to Perth and now to New York, Danielle shares honestly about the cost of surrender, the thousands of little yeses that make up a life of following Jesus, and the reality that we all surrender to something. Maybe God isn't waiting for us to have every detail figured out. Maybe He's simply asking: Will your answer to Jesus be yes? Because surrender isn't ultimately about losing. It's about loving and trusting a person — and His name is Jesus. 🔗 Links / CTA 🌐 Learn more about Hillsong Australia: hillsong.com/australia📍 Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australia📲 Subscribe to the Hillsong Australia Podcast on your favourite platform and follow @hillsongaustralia💬 Share this message with someone who may be navigating a season of surrenderBringing Sunday into your everyday.

    S3E3: Issues of the Heart | Sam Green

    It’s easy to go through the motions and tick all the boxes, but are we actually connecting with the Lord and truly seeking Him?   In this message, Pastor Sam Green challenges us to look beyond what’s happening on the outside and consider what’s really happening in our hearts. We can say the right things, show up and go through the motions, but what happens when we slow down and let Jesus speak to the places within us we might have been avoiding?   Our hearts matter. They shape what flows from our lives, and sometimes they need to be revealed, returned to Jesus and revived by His presence.   If you’ve been feeling distracted, distant or unsure, this message is an invitation to stop, open your heart and make room for God to move again.   Because sometimes the encounter we’re waiting for begins with simply being willing to let Jesus have our hearts.   ✨ Key Themes Beyond the Motions — Looking past what we do outwardly and asking whether our hearts are genuinely connected to GodThe Condition of Our Hearts — Recognising that what is happening within us matters because it shapes what flows from our livesMaking Room for Jesus — Slowing down and allowing God to speak into the places we may have been avoidingRevealed, Returned & Revived — Allowing God to reveal what is happening in our hearts, surrendering it back to Him and making room for His presenceSeeking God Again — Moving beyond distraction and familiarity to intentionally pursue God's presenceAn Open Heart — Being willing to let Jesus have access to every part of our lives📖 Scripture References Proverbs 4:23 — Guard your heart, because everything you do flows from itPsalm 51 — David's prayer for God to create a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit🚶 Next Steps Stop and check your heart — Take some time to honestly ask God what is happening within youMove beyond the motions — Ask yourself whether you're simply going through the routine or genuinely seeking JesusMake room for God — Slow down, create space and allow Jesus to speak into the places you've been avoidingReturn it to Jesus — Whatever God reveals, surrender it back to HimSeek His presence — If you've been feeling distracted or distant, take a step towards God again🔗 Links / CTA 🌐 Learn more about Hillsong Australia: hillsong.com/australia📍 Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australia💬 Share this message with someone who could use the reminderBringing Sunday into your everyday.
