Trust Him When You Don't Understand
How can a good God use evil people to accomplish his purposes? Stu doesn't offer a neat answer, he offers something harder. Faith.

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
Habakkuk keeps praying the same prayer and keeps getting silence. Then God answers — and it makes things feel worse. Jai unpacks what that means for the prayers we're carrying right now.
LiT Junior Leadership Camp
Soul Revival's Year 9-12 leaders are invited to Youthworks' LiT camp this January, where they'll explore Relentless Hope through the prophet Micah and discover what it means to lead with justice, walk with humility, and live with hope. Registration opens Wednesday 3 June.
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.
How Long, O Lord?
Habakkuk doesn't open with a polished speech. He opens with a cry. Tim Anderson introduces one of the most honest, most human books in the Bible.
Christ-Centred Friendships at Living Water
Each Saturday Anna Ware has been at Living Water in Redfern where kids are discovering Jesus in a safe, welcoming community.
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?
Generosity is Who You Are in Christ
The Pharisee's hands were full. The tax collector's were empty. One went home justified. Jai unpacks what that means for how we give.
Sin is More Serious Thank You Think
Nahum 3 is the kind of passage we instinctively want to put distance between ourselves but that instinct is exactly the problem.
Relational and Responsive: The Tangibles of Church Project Management
From the $7 meal that structurally builds equality into the community, to teams not tasks as a theological conviction rather than a management technique, to the meeting 25 years ago where they cancelled all the plans and prayed — Joel, Stu and Tim get usefully specific.
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.
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.
