    S2E22: ‘The Lost Art of Faithfulness’ | A Conversation with Andrew Midson

    Has something that once left you in awe become... just familiar? Pastor Andrew Midson unpacks his message on the Parable of the Sower, walking through the four soils — hard, rocky, thorny, and good ground — and asking an honest question we all need to sit with: have I become apathetic, or even offended, by the very things that used to astonish me? ✨ Key Themes The danger of familiarity. Jesus was overlooked in His own hometown because He'd become familiar — the same thing can happen to our faith, marriages, and callings over time.The lost art of faithfulness. Long-term fruit tends to come from ordinary, faithful people who kept showing up — not from talent or being first pick.Your soil is your responsibility. Tending your heart — not sheer effort — is what determines whether the seed planted in your life takes root and grows.📖 Scripture References Matthew 13 — The Parable of the Sower and Jesus' rejection in His hometownMatthew 6:33 — "Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you," Matthew 25 — The Parable of the TalentsMark 4 — The farmer who plants seed that grows day and night without him understanding how Mark 2 — The four men who bring their friend to Jesus through the roof📚 Resources "Counterfeit Gods" by Tim Keller — referenced regarding how the real issue isn't lack of access to truth, but what happens inside us when we hear it."Atomic Habits" — mentioned as one of many books on how habits actually take time to form.💬 Quotes "Where God has brought us is awe-inspiring as to who He is... but do I become familiar with time?" — Andrew Midson "Starting is easier than finishing." — Andrew Midson "The harvest is always an indicator of the seed that was planted." — Andrew Midson "Don't dig up the seed too soon. Let it take its time." — Andrew Midson 🚶 Next Steps Do a heart stock take. Ask, "God, what's the seed in my hand?" — and what you're actually going to do with it.Name your "thorns." Identify the good things in your life that may be quietly crowding out what God has actually asked of you.Pre-decide your non-negotiables. Put the important things (Bible reading, church, date night, health) directly into your calendar so you're not relying on in-the-moment motivation.Choose faithfulness over talent or timing. Keep showing up, sow what you're given, and trust the harvest to come in its season.🔗 Links / CTA Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australiaCatch next week's special Living Room episode — a time of prayer and worship together.Subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs the encouragement.

    S2E21: ‘From Awe to Apathy’ | Andrew Midson

    How can two people sit in the same room, hear the same message, and walk away with completely different experiences? In this message, Andrew Midson explores Jesus' Parable of the Sower and unpacks the four conditions of the heart that determine how we respond to God's Word. From the danger of familiarity to the subtle distractions that slowly steal our attention, Andrew reminds us that the issue is never the seed—it's the condition of the soil. If we're not careful, awe can quietly become apathy. But when we cultivate hearts that remain soft and receptive to God, we position ourselves to experience the fruit He has always intended.

    S2E20: ‘Praising God with a Broken Heart’ | A Conversation with Andy Heuser

    What does it actually look like to guard your heart when life hurts? In this conversation, Dale Simons sits down with Andy Heuser to continue unpacking his message, My Heart, My Responsibility, and explore the ongoing work of recognising and tending to the condition of our hearts. Whether you're navigating grief, waiting for a promise, wrestling with anxiety or simply recognising that your heart needs some attention, this conversation is an encouragement to invite the Holy Spirit into even the most painful places and keep leaning into the presence of God.  ✨ Key Themes Guarding your heart is active, not passive. The condition of our heart affects everything that flows from it, so tending to it requires intentionality. Invite the right voices in. We need trusted people who will tell us what we need to hear, not simply what we want to hear. Praising God through a broken heart. Andy shares vulnerably about losing his dad and the daily choice to keep believing in God's goodness, even while carrying unanswered questions. Heart work is ongoing. We can carry multiple heart conditions at once, and we need the Holy Spirit to help us recognise and navigate them. Keep leaning into God's presence. It's there that we find rest, healing, hope and joy, even when our circumstances haven't changed.  📖 Scripture References Proverbs 4:23 — Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.Psalm 51 — David's prayer for God to create in him a pure heart. Romans 8:28 — God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  💬 Quotes “I want people to tell me not what I want to hear, but what I need to hear” — Andy Heuser “We've got to invite the Holy Spirit into the most painful, most precious moments of our lives.” — Andy Heuser  🔗 Links / CTA Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australiaCatch up on Andy's message, ‘My Heart, My Responsibility’, on the Hillsong Australia Podcast.Subscribe to the Hillsong Australia Podcast wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.If this conversation encouraged you, share it with someone who might need it today.

    S2E19: ‘My Heart, My Responsibility’ | Andy Heuser

    We’re often quick to focus on what’s happening around us, but Scripture tells us that everything flows from the heart—and why Proverbs tells us to guard it, not passively, but deliberately, intentionally and consistently. In this message, Andy Heuser explores conditions of the human heart: the waiting heart, the anxious heart, the broken heart, the bitter heart, the distracted heart, the proud heart, the weary heart and the hardened heart. What do we do when we’re caught between a promise and its fulfilment? How do we guard our hearts when anxiety, disappointment or offence begin to take root? What happens when we’re so busy that we lose sight of what matters, or so weary that we’re barely holding on? The condition of your heart matters. And when we choose to trust God, forgive, praise, rest, remain humble and stand firmly on His Word, He is able to soften what has become hard, restore what has been broken and renew what has grown weary. 🔗 Links / CTA Learn more about Hillsong Australia: hillsong.com/australiaFind a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australiaSubscribe to the Hillsong Australia Podcast wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who might need it today.

    S2E18: 'Trusting God While You're Waiting’ | A Conversation with Tracy Barrell

    Do you believe God can do miracles but doubt He'd do one for you? Teaching pastor Tracy Barrell joins the podcast to unpack her message "The God Who Still Does Miracles," busting three common myths about who miracles are for, and getting honest about her own two-and-a-half-year wait for healing. ✨ Key Themes Miracles reveal God, not us. Miracles aren't earned by the "most deserving" — they're a window into who God is: good and great, kind and capable.Living in the "now and not yet." We carry both resurrection hope and present suffering — it's possible to hold real faith and real disappointment at the same time.A delayed answer isn't a denied answer. Tracy shares her own story of healing, and of still waiting for her father's healing from Alzheimer's — modeling how to keep trusting without pretending everything's fine. 📖 Scripture References Psalm 103 — "Forget not all his benefits," Deuteronomy 7 — God reminding Israel He chose them not for their greatness, but simply because of His own heart toward them.Ephesians 1 — being chosen, adopted, and planned for by God.Mark 1:14–15 — Jesus announcing the gospel as the arrival of God's kingdom.Matthew 8:2–3 / Mark 1:40–41 — the leper's declaration, "If you're willing, I know you can heal me."Mark 6:1–6 — Jesus unable to do many miracles in His hometown due to familiarity rather than faith.Luke 8:43–48 — the woman with the issue of blood, healed and restored to community.2 Corinthians 12:7–9 — Paul's thorn in the flesh and God's answer, "My grace is sufficient for you."1 Corinthians 15 Paul's extended teaching on the resurrection and future hope.John 14 — Jesus' promise not to leave us as orphans, but to send the Comforter. 📚 Resources "God on Mute" by Pete Greig (leader of the 24/7 Prayer movement) — recommended for anyone wrestling with unanswered prayer.💬 Quotes "If this is who God is and how he works, then a miracle should actually be the most natural thing." — Tracy Barrell "It's not about us; it's about him and how good and how great he is." — Tracy Barrell "A delayed answer is not necessarily a denied answer." — Tracy Barrell, quoting Pete Greig "I had reduced God to just the miracle worker, and I had forgotten all his other benefits." — Tracy Barrell 🚶 Next Steps Read Psalm 103 and make a list of God's benefits beyond healing and breakthrough — comfort, presence, grace for today.If you're waiting, hold both hope and honesty. You don't have to pretend everything's fine to keep trusting God.🔗 Links / CTA Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australiaSubscribe, like, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement today.

    S2E17: 'The God Who Still Does Miracles' | Tracy Barrell

    What if some of the biggest barriers to experiencing miracles aren't God's willingness to move, but the misconceptions we've believed about them? In this message, Tracy Barrell challenges us to rethink what miracles are, and what they aren't. Looking through the lens of Ephesians 1, we're reminded that God's work has always been rooted in His grace, His goodness and His desire to bring people into His family. Together, we unpack common misconceptions about miracles: that they're only for the most deserving, only for the most likely, or only happen on rare occasions. Instead, we discover that miracles flow from God's unchanging character, His love for people and His ongoing work through Jesus. This message also reminds us to make room for Jesus to move in our everyday lives, to create space for others to find belonging in God's family and church, and for the miracles God wants to do both in us and through us. Whether you're believing for a breakthrough or simply wanting a fresh perspective on God's goodness, this message will encourage you to trust His heart, celebrate what He's already done and make room for what He wants to do next. 🔗 Links / CTA Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australiaSubscribe, like, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement today.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that God is always at work, and that His miracles are an expression of His goodness, grace and love.
