Dead gals you should know - with Rachel Ciano
Our focus today is on the massive legacy of some of the greatest women of church history. We discuss how different the Jesus’ mother Mary (as portrayed in the New Testament) is to Mary as she’s popularly thought of. We focus on the account of one of the early martyrs, 22 year old mother Perpetua, who was fed to the lions. We look at England’s nine day queen Lady Jane Grey and her mentoring by the Swiss Protestant reformer Heinrich Bullinger. Then there’s the extraordinary story of Salvation Army co-founder Catherine Booth’s campaign to have the age of consent raised in England from 12 to the eventual age of 16. And Gladys Alward’s 350 kilometer trek across the mountains of China with 100 orphan children.Click here to purchase Ten dead gals you should know by Rachel Ciano and Ian MaddoxSupport the show

Blind spots in the evangelical ecosystem - with Mikey Lynch
Whether we are the senior pastor, theological college lecturer, missionary, student worker, Christian publisher, or denominational leader - we all work within an evangelical ecosystem.And it’s possible for us to make it harder or easier for our ministry peers to play their part in glorifying God. Mikey Lynch’s new book The Vine Movement, published by Matthias Media (https://bit.ly/vinemovement), explores how churches, missionary organisations, evangelical student ministries, chaplains and denominations can all work together best.Mikey Lynch is a director of Reach Australia, leads the AFES staff team at the University in Hobart and is the editorial director for Gospel Coalition Australia.

Now, where and how for Sydney Anglicans - with Raj Gupta and Zac Veron
Now, where and how for Sydney Anglicans - with Raj Gupta and Zac VeronThe future of the Anglican Church in Sydney. We engage in a ‘Stockdale Paradox’ discussion, confronting the brutal facts about attendance, finances and National Church Life Survey data about mission, newcomers and maturity. Plus we review the recent Sydney Anglican Synod debate where leader after leader poured out their heart. The gap is widening between the diocese’s declining attendance and Sydney’s growing population.While there are COVID factors, the National Church Life Survey trends are clearly observable and are worrying.There’s a difference between having a heart for evangelism and knowing how to engage effectively. While gross giving has increased, real giving (adjusted for inflation) seems to be down. There’s a clear difficulty with strategic planning and implementation. What to do about the accelerating trend of people moving to larger churches. We look at the hard facts and attempt to chart a way forward. Zac Veron is the senior minister of Bayside Anglican Church, Sydney.Raj Gupta is the senior minister of Carlingford Anglican Church, Sydney.http://www.thepastorsheart.net/podcast/sydney-anglicans-now-where-how-raj-zacReferences: Slides used in this discussion.
