Deeper Than Just Community

Deeper Than Just Community

Community isn't enough. It never was. The research from Stu's PhD keeps showing that the people who stayed at Soul Revival Youth Community were the ones who became Christians — and the community worked because the gospel was proclaimed clearly every single week.

Joel, Stu and Tim unpack the difference between two kinds of belonging, the commitments group, and why the hip hop night before the Cronulla riots is one of the best illustrations of what gospel-centred community actually produces.

When God’s Answer Unsettles You

Enhanced Christianity

Manufactured greatness doesn't connect, and it turns out the same is true in church ministry. Stu's PhD research is revealing six themes from the Soul Revival Youth Community, and the one that keeps surfacing above the others is this: relationships were the front door. Not events. Not programs. The relationships.

What We've Lost — Technology, Physicality and the Trade-Offs

Behind a wedding vow written by ChatGPT, there is no I who says I do. Joel and Tim trace a thread from new creation theology through rally driving, unwrapping CDs and Zoom fatigue — and build a framework for asking the question every church leader and parent should be asking about technology: what exactly have we traded?

Build Your Treasure in Heaven: Kingdom Superannuation

The reality is one day someone else will be living in your house, driving your car, spending the money you've saved. But when you invest in another person's life, you are building treasure in heaven, the kind you can enjoy now and the "Kingdom superannuation" you'll access in eternity.

Organised Messiness: Why an Element of Grace Beats Efficiency Every Time

Running a church well doesn't mean running it like a business. Stu's concept of organised messiness — and the framework of ministry slide that sits underneath it — offers a way of managing church that has grace structurally built in from the start.

Joel, Stu and Tim work through why efficiency isn't a godly value, and what it actually looks like to hold people and mission together at the same time.

God’s Justice. Our Comfort.

God’s Justice. Our Comfort.

Many of us treat Jesus like a lion we admire behind a zoo fence—thrilling to observe from a distance, as long as He stays contained. But God isn't just coming to Nineveh; He's coming home, and when the Lion's in the living room, comfort gives way to confrontation.

Concerned About Nineveh

"Work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Stu launches our new series "Storming the City" by introducing Nahum, where God's justice meets His mercy, where the greatest empire falls, and where delayed judgment is not cancelled judgment. One consistent God: just, powerful, patient, and our refuge.

School, church and home: Who's actually responsible for your kids' faith?

Church attendance in the Sutherland Shire has dropped from 11% to around 1% in a generation. Newcomers to churches have more than halved since 2001. And a generation of young people is quietly assuming someone else is handling the faith formation of their kids. Joel, Stu and Tim sit down with the principal of Shire Christian School to ask the question every Christian parent is avoiding.
