The WIN WIN Evangelism Podcast: Recent Episodes
Evangelism In Australia
Tina Waldrom from Evangelism In Australia interviews church leaders and congregation members alike to discover how they are reaching out to others with the gospel. These stories reveal some wonderful insights to keep the church equipped and encouraged to stay focused on outreach.
What if the interruption you didn't plan for was actually the moment God had planned all along? In this episode, Tina Waldrom thought she knew exactly how her Sunday morning would unfold: grab a coffee, head across the road to church and enjoy the service. Then a homeless woman asked her to buy a caramel Frappuccino. One simple request led to breakfast, an unexpected invitation to church and four words Tina couldn't forget: “I've given up on hope.” What happened next became a powerful lesson about evangelism, compassion and noticing the person God has placed right in front of you.
In this deeply personal episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina explores what it means to become interruptible and allow the love of Jesus to move beyond words into practical action. From making someone feel welcome at church to providing a safe shoulder to sleep on, this story challenges the idea that evangelism always needs to begin with the perfect gospel conversation. Sometimes it begins with a coffee, a meal, learning someone's name or simply making room. You may not be able to change the whole world, but you can love the person God puts in your path and that ordinary act of kindness might become one of the holiest moments of your week.
In this podcast episode, you will discover about:
- The importance of compassion in faith practice
- How small acts can have a profound impact
- The role of the church in serving the marginalized
- Jesus' example of reaching out to the outcast
- The significance of hope in Christian life
- The power of unexpected moments in ministry
- The connection between kindness and spiritual growth
- And more…

Discussion Questions

Read: Luke 18:35-43; Mark 5:21-34
-
Do people who are far from God feel safe around you? One striking observation from the episode is that people who were rejected or overlooked by society often felt comfortable approaching Jesus. Tina asks an important question: Do people still feel that way around us as Christians?
Read: Luke 15:1-2; Matthew 9:10-13 -
Are you listening for the story underneath someone's words? When people talk to you, are you listening for opportunities to understand what's really happening in their lives? How could listening more carefully create natural opportunities for evangelism?
Read: Romans 15:13; 1 Peter 3:15 -
Does your evangelism demonstrate the gospel as well as explain it? Is your understanding of evangelism mainly about what you say? How could practical compassion make your conversations about Jesus more credible?
Read: 1 John 3:16-18; James 2:14-17 -
Would someone who feels ashamed feel welcome in your church? If someone experiencing homelessness, addiction, poverty or another difficult circumstance walked into your church this Sunday, how would they experience your community?

Read: Romans 15:7; James 2:1-4 -
Are you waiting to do everything instead of doing something? Have you ever avoided helping because the problem seemed too large? How could changing your thinking from “I can't do everything” to “I can do something” transform your approach to evangelism?
Read: Luke 10:30–37; Galatians 6:9-10 -
Could one small act of kindness help someone rediscover hope? Who has God already placed in your life who might need hope? What is one practical act of kindness you could offer them this week?
Read: Matthew 25:35-40; Proverbs 19:17; Matthew 5:16
What if one of the greatest opportunities for evangelism came disguised as an interruption? In this deeply personal episode, Tina Waldrom shares the unforgettable story of an ordinary holiday evening that became an extraordinary encounter with God. What began as a quiet dinner and a spectacular fireworks display quickly turned into a life-changing lesson about noticing the people Jesus notices. Through one simple act of kindness towards a homeless man, Tina discovered that the Holy Spirit often speaks through gentle promptings, inviting us to step beyond our comfort and reflect the compassion of Christ.
This episode is a powerful reminder that evangelism isn't always about preaching a sermon or having all the right words. Often, it begins with seeing the person in front of us, responding with love, and trusting God with the outcome. As Tina reflects on Scripture and her own experience, you'll be encouraged to slow down, listen to God's voice, and embrace the everyday opportunities He gives you to demonstrate His love. If you long to grow in compassionate, authentic evangelism, this conversation will inspire you to see people and yourself through the eyes of Jesus.
In this podcast episode, you will discover about:
- The Holy Spirit's gentle prompting to notice others
- Jesus' example of noticing and helping marginalized people
- The significance of calling people by their names
- Acts of kindness as expressions of faith
- The connection between worship and social justice

Discussion Questions
1.Are you paying attention to the Holy Spirit's gentle promptings?
Tina describes how she couldn't stop noticing the homeless man, realising it wasn't guilt but the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit. Evangelism often begins when we're willing to notice what God is drawing our attention to.
Read: John 10:27; Galatians 5:25
-
Who are the people that Jesus wants you to notice? Who in your everyday life may be feeling overlooked or invisible? How could God be inviting you to notice them this week?
Read: Matthew 9:36; Luke 19:1-10 -
What small act of obedience is God asking you to take? Do you ever hesitate because you feel you can't do enough? What small act of kindness could you take this week that points someone towards God's love?
Read: James 2:14-17; Zechariah 4:10 -
Do you see people's problems, or do you see people? Everything changed when Tina stopped seeing "a homeless man" and instead saw a person created in the image of God. Every individual has value because they bear God's image. How easy is it to label people rather than truly see them? How might seeing people as God sees them change your approach to evangelism?
Read: Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 43:1 -
Are you serving others without expecting anything in return? Why can it be tempting to expect something back after we've helped someone? How can you demonstrate Christ's love through quiet acts of generosity?
Read: Matthew 6:1-4; Philippians 2:3-8
- Who is really transformed when we show compassion? While the homeless man received one meal, Tina realised that God had transformed her own heart. Evangelism doesn't just impact the people we serve. It changes us too. Can you think of a time when serving someone changed your own heart? What does this teach you about God's purpose in acts of compassion?
Read: Matthew 25:35-40; Proverbs 19:17
- What "fireworks" might be distracting you from people? The beautiful evening could easily have distracted Tina from noticing the person sitting nearby. We too can become so occupied with our own plans that we miss the people God places in front of us. What distractions make it difficult for you to notice people in need? How can you become more intentional about living a lifestyle of everyday evangelism?
Read: 1 John 3:17-18; Hebrews 13:2
Why are so many people today turning towards Eastern spirituality? Is it simply curiosity, or are people searching for something deeper? In this episode, Tina Waldrom is joined by Christian apologist AND Ideas Convention 2026 speaker Jacob Cheriyan to unpack why Eastern spirituality continues to attract people around the world and how Christians can respond with wisdom, humility and compassion. Rather than approaching these conversations with fear or arguments, Jacob shares practical insights that will help you grow in confidence for evangelism and build genuine relationships with people exploring spiritual questions.
You'll discover the key differences between Christianity and Eastern spirituality, why authenticity often speaks louder than debate, and how your own story can become one of your greatest tools for sharing the gospel. Whether you're talking with a neighbour, friend or colleague, this conversation will encourage you to start talking about Jesus in a way that is thoughtful, respectful and full of grace. If you want to become more effective in evangelism while engaging today's spiritual culture, this episode will equip and inspire you.
In this podcast episode, you will discover about:
- Attraction of Eastern spirituality in modern culture
- Differences between Christian and Eastern worldviews
- Approaches to meaningful spiritual conversations

- And more…

How can Christians stay confident in a world shaped by AI, Islam, secular thinking and rapidly changing cultural values? In this episode, Tina Waldrom is joined by Rob Martin from Ideas Convention 2026 to explore why confidence is one of the greatest needs facing believers today. Together they unpack how Christians can engage culture without retreating from it, answer difficult questions with grace, and remain convinced that the message of Jesus is still the best news the world can hear. If you've ever felt uncertain about evangelism or wondered how to respond to today's biggest conversations, this episode will encourage and equip you.
You'll discover why confidence isn't about having every answer, but about trusting the truth of the gospel and learning how to communicate it wisely. From understanding the rise of AI and Islam to navigating today's cultural pressures, this conversation offers practical tools to help you grow in confidence, strengthen your faith, and start talking about Jesus with the people God has already placed in your life.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Confidence comes from trusting the truth of the gospel, not knowing every answer.
- Fear is often the greatest obstacle to evangelism, but it doesn't have to hold you back.
- Engage cultural conversations with grace, wisdom and genuine curiosity.
- Prepare yourself to answer difficult questions while remaining humble and compassionate.
- Start talking about Jesus with the people God has already placed in your life.

Discussion Questions
1. What gives you confidence to share your faith?

Read: Romans 1:16; 2 Timothy 1:7
-
What fears stop you from speaking about Jesus?

Read: Matthew 28:18-20; Isaiah 41:10 -

It’s hard to believe we’re already at the halfway point of 2026, and we’re excited to kick off our Mid Year Highlights by counting down the top 3 most viewed episodes of the year! This episode takes the #3 spot. In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Ger Jones, pastor of Vintage Church in Santa Monica, to explore how sharing faith is changing in a post-Christian culture.

Read: 1 Peter 3:15, Romans 15:13 -

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism podcast, Tina Waldrom explores the subtle reasons why Christians stop sharing their faith and why maintaining an outward-focused mindset requires more than a one off burst of motivation. Why do Christians stop sharing their faith? Most believers don't walk away from evangelism because they've stopped loving Jesus. More often, life simply gets busy. Work pressures, family responsibilities, fear of awkward conversations, discouragement from past experiences, and endless distractions can slowly push evangelism from a daily priority to an occasional thought.
Drawing from Scripture, research, and practical experience, Tina unpacks the importance of ongoing encouragement in helping believers stay focused on God's mission. You'll discover why relational evangelism is often simpler than we think, how daily reminders can keep mission visible, and practical ways to recognise opportunities God places before you each day. If you've ever felt your passion for evangelism fading, this episode will encourage you to refocus, stay faithful, and keep sharing the hope of Jesus with confidence and gentleness.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Loss of focus in evangelism due to distraction and fear
- The importance of ongoing encouragement and daily reminders
- Relational evangelism and authentic conversations
- The role of technology in supporting mission focus
- Cultural pressures in Australia affecting evangelism
- And more…

How does understanding that God has already accomplished salvation (John 19:30) change the way you approach evangelism? Reflect on what it means to “open people’s eyes” rather than “convince” them
Read: …to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me. (Acts 26:18) -
In what ways can unity among believers help open people’s eyes to Jesus?

They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake.

Where can you intentionally create space for both declaring and demonstrating the Gospel this week?
Read: And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs. (Mark 16:20) -
What does loving your neighbour practically look like in your current season of life?
Read: In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. (Matthew 5:16)

Evangelism can sometimes feel like a pressure to grow church attendance, but what if the focus was bigger than that? In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Tim O’Neill, Executive Director of Exponential Australia, to explore a powerful shift in thinking and moving from church growth to city health.

If you want to grow in confidence in evangelism and rethink how your church can bless its community, this conversation will inspire you to see the bigger mission of God at work in your city.

What does evangelism look like in a world where many people are sceptical of church, wary of Christians, yet still spiritually curious? In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Ger Jones, pastor of Vintage Church in Santa Monica, to explore how sharing faith is changing in a post-Christian culture. Drawing from his own journey through faith crisis, the marketplace, and ministry, Ger shares why empathy, safe environments, and authentic relationships are more important than ever when helping people explore Jesus today.
This conversation is both deeply encouraging and incredibly practical. You’ll discover why evangelism is less about persuasion and more about helping people, why sowing seeds through love matters more than quick results, and how believers can become a “compelling curiosity” that draws others toward Christ. Whether you’re a church leader or an everyday Christian, this episode will help you approach evangelism with greater confidence, patience, and compassion.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Ger Jones emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for people to explore their faith without judgment.
- Empathy is crucial in understanding the struggles of non-Christians.
- Sowing seeds of faith is about loving people and building relationships, not just targeting them for conversion.
- The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in transforming hearts.
- Evangelism is a long game.
- In a secular culture, Christians must be a compelling curiosity by living out their faith authentically.
- Understanding the cultural context is essential for effective evangelism in different communities.
- Creating a welcoming environment is key.
- Churches need to design their communities around the exploration of faith for non-believers.
- And more…

Evangelism in Australia is changing, but the mission remains the same, helping people discover Jesus. In this insightful conversation, Tina Waldrom speaks with Geoff Folland, National Director of Power to Change Australia, about why evangelism events still matter in a culture where faith is often shared through relationships.

You’ll discover how training, relationships, and strategic outreach can work together to create momentum for evangelism, plus practical ideas for engaging your community in today’s multicultural Australia.

Sharing your faith can feel intimidating, especially when we assume people aren’t interested or that Australia is “hard soil”.

Drawing on decades of national research, they explore Stats for Effective Evangelism that challenge common myths and reveal a surprising openness to spiritual conversations across generations.

As we step into a new year, many believers are eager to make a difference but feel unsure where to focus their energy. In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks directly to that tension by exploring evangelism through the lens of clarity rather than activity. Instead of chasing trends or strategies, she invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and ask what God is already doing. This conversation is especially timely as we seek Getting Clarity for Evangelism in 2026, both personally and as churches.
Tina shares biblical wisdom and practical insight on how clarity comes through prayer, silence, and understanding where God has already placed us. She reminds us that evangelism is not about doing more, but about doing the right things in the right places with God. Whether you’re a church leader, small group member, or individual believer, this episode will help you move forward with confidence, obedience, and a renewed sense of purpose for sharing your faith in 2026.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Clarity is essential for effective outreach in 2026.
- Listening to God through prayer is foundational for clarity.
- Clarity often comes from understanding where God has placed us.
- Many feel busy but unclear in their outreach efforts.
- God speaks quietly, requiring us to pay attention.
- Most people need fresh eyes for their current mission field.
- Clarity grows when we stop copying others and start discerning.

Whether you lead a church or simply want to represent Jesus more authentically in your world, this episode provides clarity, challenge and hope for evangelism in today’s Australia.

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sits down with Lachlan Shipard to hear his remarkable journey from a self-focused lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and quick fixes to discovering lasting hope in Jesus. Lachlan openly shares the emptiness he faced even after making big life changes, and the unexpected moment when he sensed God calling him to reach out.

Discussion Questions
1. Lachlan shared that before Christ, he tried to fill the void in his life with parties, drugs, money, and relationships. What are some common “quick fixes” people turn to today instead of God?
Read: John 4:13-14 “Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
- Lachlan described a turning point when he realised he had to stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. How does taking ownership of our own sin open the door for God’s grace?
Read: James 1:14–15 “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”
-
Lachlan said he became “miserably happy”, he cleaned up his life but still felt empty until he encountered Jesus. Why do you think self-improvement alone cannot replace salvation?
Read: Ephesians 2:8–9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.” -
Lachlan’s conversion began with a thought: “Reach out to Me.” How has God drawn you (or people you know) to Himself, sometimes unexpectedly?
Read: John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” -
When Lachlan first became a Christian, he zealously gave out Bibles and told everyone about Jesus. Have you ever been overzealous in sharing your faith? How can we balance boldness with wisdom and grace?
Read: Colossians 4:5–6 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” -
Lachlan learned that people are often reached more by watching how Christians live than by what we say. In what specific ways can your daily life shine Christ’s light to those around you?
Read: Matthew 5:14–16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” -
If you had only two minutes to share with someone what Jesus has done in your life (as Lachlan suggests), what would you say? How can your story of Jesus’ work in your life become a bridge to evangelism?
Read & Reflect: Acts 22:6–10 About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, “Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” I asked.
“I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,” He replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of Him who was speaking to me.
“What shall I do, Lord?” I asked.
“ Get up,” the Lord said, “and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.”
Another summer is here, and Evangelism in Australia is introducing its top 5 most popular episodes of 2025. This is #3.
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Tania Harris, founding director of God Conversations, for a fascinating and hope-filled discussion on the question, “How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?” Together, they explore how the Holy Spirit is already at work beyond the walls of the Church and among people who might describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” Drawing from real-life stories, including powerful encounters where people have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus, Tania and Tina unpack how God continues to reveal Himself to seekers in unexpected ways, from the Middle East to modern-day Australia.
This conversation will change how you think about evangelism. Rather than seeing it as bringing God to others, Tania invites listeners to consider that God is already speaking. Our role is to recognise where He’s at work and join in. The episode unpacks what this means for everyday believers: how to discern spiritual openness, how to listen with humility, and how to share faith naturally and sensitively. Whether you’re part of a local church, leading a small group, or simply walking alongside friends who don’t yet believe, this episode offers fresh insight into what it truly means to partner with the Spirit in helping others encounter Jesus.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- God is already speaking to those who are seeking Him.
- The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in evangelism.
- Recognizing spiritual seekers can change our approach to outreach.
- People often reject religion but are open to spirituality.
- Evangelism should be a partnership with the Holy Spirit.
- Openness and humility are key to hearing God's voice.
- We should look for opportunities to engage in spiritual conversations.
- The church's role is to walk alongside seekers, not coerce them.
- Understanding the cultural context is vital for effective evangelism.
- Sharing personal experiences can create meaningful connections.

His story highlights both the struggles and the hope that come with following Christ, while holding on to the rich heritage of Jewish identity.
The discussion goes deeper into what evangelism looks like in this context, stressing the need for Christians to approach Jewish people with gentleness, humility, and respect.

For churches and believers today, this episode is a valuable reminder that evangelism requires cultural awareness and genuine love, especially when reaching out to communities with such deep spiritual and historical roots.

Discussion Questions
- How does remembering that Jesus Himself was Jewish shape the way we share the Gospel with Jewish people and with anyone?
Read: Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
- Rabbi Lawrence shared how his brother used Isaiah 53 without revealing the passage, and he immediately recognised Jesus in it. What role should the Old Testament/Tanakh play in our evangelism conversations?
Read: Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions…”
- Jewish people often feel that believing in Jesus means “rejecting” their Jewish identity. How can we, as Christians, communicate that following Jesus is not about abandoning culture or heritage but about fulfilling God’s promises?
Read: Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
- Lawrence mentioned his mother felt “betrayed” when he came to faith. How should we sensitively approach conversations with people who may see accepting Jesus as disloyalty to family, culture, or tradition?
Read: Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate their father and mother… yes, even their own life, such a person cannot be my disciple.” (to wrestle with the cost of discipleship and relational tensions)
- The history of Christian persecution of Jews is a massive barrier in evangelism. How can acknowledging past wrongs and showing humility open doors for Gospel conversations today?
Read: Romans 11:18 “Do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
- Lawrence described evangelism as not inviting Jews to “become Christians” but showing them that Jesus is their Messiah. How could this paradigm shift change the way you share your faith with anyone?
Read: John 4:22 “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.”
- Lawrence and his wife Louise both came to faith within hours of each other on opposite sides of the world - a testimony of God’s sovereign timing. How can stories like this encourage us to trust God’s timing in our evangelism efforts?
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Brendan Roach, a pastor, leadership coach, and the author of the newly released book, It’s My Call. For many believers, the idea of “calling” has become tangled up with platform, position, or pulpit ministry. But Brendan gently unpacks a biblical and practical understanding of calling that applies to every follower of Jesus, including those whose most impactful gospel conversations might take place in a café, workplace, school yard, or around the dining table. This conversation is deeply encouraging for anyone who senses God nudging them toward people, places, or communities in everyday life.
Brendan’s book, It’s My Call, invites believers to discover where God is already producing fruit in their lives and to lean confidently into that. Instead of striving, comparing, or waiting for a grand, dramatic sign, Brendan helps us see how calling often unfolds through small, faithful steps. If you’ve ever wondered, “Where do I fit?” or “How do I know who I’m called to reach?”, this interview will bring real clarity, comfort, and courage. Brendan Roach has lived this message and now he offers it to equip the church to move with purpose.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Don't look for the one glorious Burning Bush moment.
- Flow in the areas that we like and enjoy.
- Look for genuine fruit in our efforts.
- Positive outcomes can be produced repeatedly.
- Identifying genuine outcomes is crucial for growth.
- And more…

Sam shares honestly about the long and painful journey of walking with his wife through her ongoing battle with cancer, and how the extended waiting has shaped his faith in ways he never expected. Rather than offering easy answers, Sam reflects on what it truly means to trust God when life is uncertain, prayers seem unanswered, and the future feels heavy. His story highlights that waiting is not passive. It is a place where God does deep, refining work in the heart.
Together, Tina and Sam explore how seasons of delay and disappointment can become powerful opportunities to show the love of Jesus to others. Sam describes how being open about his struggles has allowed meaningful faith conversations to happen naturally, particularly with those who are searching for hope in the midst of hardship. The Weight of the Wait encourages believers to stay rooted in Scripture, connected to community, and honest with God about their pain. This conversation is gentle, real, and full of hope for anyone who finds themselves in a long season of waiting and wants to hold on to faith while still pointing others toward Jesus.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Conversations about cancer can open doors to deeper discussions.
- Trusting God means relying on Him during tough times.
- Authenticity in faith sharing is crucial.
- Community support is essential during difficult times.
- Practical spiritual practices can help maintain faith.
- Using Bible verses as mnemonic devices can keep God's word present.
- It's important to be honest about struggles with faith.
- Waiting can be an opportunity to grow and share faith.
- And more…

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Tania Harris, founding director of God Conversations, for a fascinating and hope-filled discussion on the question, “How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?” Together, they explore how the Holy Spirit is already at work beyond the walls of the Church and among people who might describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” Drawing from real-life stories, including powerful encounters where people have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus, Tania and Tina unpack how God continues to reveal Himself to seekers in unexpected ways, from the Middle East to modern-day Australia.

Our role is to recognise where He’s at work and join in.

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom explores the question: Why are so many Australians turning away from Christianity and what can we do about it? Drawing from key national research by McCrindle, NCLS and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Tina highlights the cultural shifts shaping the nation’s spiritual landscape. From perceptions of hypocrisy to distrust in institutions, the Church’s stance on sexuality, and the rise of “spiritual but not religious” thinking, she outlines six crucial insights to help believers understand what’s really going on.
More than statistics, this conversation offers practical ways to respond with empathy, authenticity, and integrity. Tina challenges listeners to rebuild trust through everyday consistency, to engage people relationally rather than institutionally, and to tell better stories about what God is doing in real lives. Whether you lead a church or simply want to represent Jesus more authentically in your world, this episode provides clarity, challenge and hope for evangelism in today’s Australia.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Many Australians are turning away from Christianity due to the Church's stance on sexuality.
- The perception of hypocrisy among Christians damages trust in the Church.

Read: John 14:15 “If you love me, obey my commandments.” -
Adele was stirred to create designs because she saw the cross being misrepresented. What steps can you take to represent Jesus faithfully in your own sphere of influence?
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:20 - “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” -
Through simple clothing, Adele and others have seen opportunities to share Jesus naturally. How does Colossians 3:17 (“Whatever you do… do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus”) inspire you to integrate evangelism into your daily routines - through your work, hobbies, or even what you wear?
-
Adele said, “The first conversation a Christian has is with themselves.” How does wearing or displaying your faith help keep your heart aligned with Christ?
Read: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” -
Many people who saw Adele’s shirts didn’t start conversations, but the message still reached them. How can you be faithful in “sowing” the gospel, even when you don’t see immediate results?
Read: Matthew 13:3-9 “He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted! Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” -
Adele’s designs opened new doors for evangelism through art and fashion. What creative skills or resources might God be calling you to use for His glory?
Read: Exodus 35:31–32 “The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.” -
Adele mentioned the challenges of running a Christian business and how she speaks with “CEO Father God” about every issue. How can perseverance in difficulty make your witness stronger?
Read: Philippians 4:6–7 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

From stories of young players whose lives have been changed through simple acts of care, to insights on how churches can step outside their walls and embrace the sporting community, this conversation will inspire you to see sport as a mission field. Whether you’re a coach, a parent, or simply someone who loves the game, you’ll discover how evangelism and apologetics can come alive in the very spaces where people gather, compete, and belong.

Discussion Questions
- Lachlan shared that before Christ, he tried to fill the void in his life with parties, drugs, money, and relationships. What are some common “quick fixes” people turn to today instead of God?
Read: John 4:13-14 “Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
-
Lachlan described a turning point when he realised he had to stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. How does taking ownership of our own sin open the door for God’s grace?
Read: James 1:14–15 “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” -
Lachlan said he became “miserably happy”, he cleaned up his life but still felt empty until he encountered Jesus. Why do you think self-improvement alone cannot replace salvation?
Read: Ephesians 2:8–9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” -
Lachlan’s conversion began with a thought: “Reach out to Me.” How has God drawn you (or people you know) to Himself, sometimes unexpectedly?
Read: John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” -
When Lachlan first became a Christian, he zealously gave out Bibles and told everyone about Jesus. Have you ever been overzealous in sharing your faith? How can we balance boldness with wisdom and grace?
Read: Colossians 4:5–6 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” -
Lachlan learned that people are often reached more by watching how Christians live than by what we say. In what specific ways can your daily life shine Christ’s light to those around you?
Read: Matthew 5:14–16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” -
If you had only two minutes to share with someone what Jesus has done in your life (as Lachlan suggests), what would you say? How can your story of Jesus’ work in your life become a bridge to evangelism?
Read: Acts 22:6–10 About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, “Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” I asked.
“I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,” He replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of Him who was speaking to me.
“What shall I do, Lord?” I asked.
“ Get up,” the Lord said, “and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.”
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom speaks with Greg Stier, founder of Dare to Share Ministries, about how youth ministries can grow by multiplying gospel conversations. Greg shares his remarkable journey of faith, from growing up in a tough family to discovering the power of the gospel as a teenager, and how that experience fuels his passion to mobilise young people around the world. With decades of experience equipping leaders, Greg explains why evangelism must be central to discipleship and why teens are uniquely positioned to influence their peers for Christ.
Together, Tina and Greg explore how to move from a programme-driven youth ministry to one that is truly mission-driven. They discuss the importance of gospel urgency, fluency, and strategy, as well as practical tools like the “Ask, Admire, Admit” approach to sharing faith in everyday conversations. Listeners will be inspired by the vision of gospel-advancing ministries that multiply disciples and see young people grow spiritually as they boldly live and share the good news of Jesus.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Greg Steer emphasises the importance of mobilising teens to share the gospel.
- The average teen in a gospel advancing group has 50 gospel conversations per year.
- Youth leaders must model evangelism for their students.
- Relational evangelism is key to effective youth ministry.
- Fear of rejection is a significant barrier for teens in sharing their faith.
- Awkwardness in conversations can lead to meaningful connections.
- Culturally relevant strategies are essential for effective evangelism.
- Equipping teens with gospel fluency is crucial for their confidence

Discussion Questions
- Why is it important to reach teenagers with the gospel while they are young? Consider Greg’s point that 80% of people come to Christ before 18.
Read: “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).
-
Jesus mobilised His mostly teenage disciples to share the gospel (Matthew 4:19; Luke 9–10). What can we learn from His model of moving from model → mobilise → multiply? How might this shape youth ministry today?
-
Greg talks about gospel urgency, fluency, and strategy. Which of these three do you most need to grow in, and how can you develop it?
Read: “Always be prepared to give an answer…with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15).
- Why is “awkward awesome” when sharing faith? How does embracing awkward moments open doors for gospel conversations?
Read: Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman (John 4:16–18).
- What role should leaders play in modelling evangelism for young people?
Read: “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1)?
- Greg shared that students who share their faith grow spiritually faster. Why do you think evangelism accelerates discipleship?
Read: James 2:22 “You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.”
- Fear of rejection is one of the biggest barriers for teens (and adults) in evangelism. How does the gospel give courage to overcome this fear?
Read: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7).
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom unpacks a powerful idea the Lord has placed on her heart: legacy evangelism. Too often we think of legacy in terms of money, property, or achievements, but Tina explains that true legacy is about what we leave in people, not just for people. Drawing from Scripture and real-life examples, she reminds us that the way we model evangelism in our everyday lives can inspire others to do the same. Our example becomes our legacy, and whether as individuals or as churches, the seeds we sow today, seen or unseen, can grow into fruit that impacts generations to come.
Tina shares inspiring stories, from the ripple effect of Edward Kimball’s quiet witness that ultimately influenced Billy Graham, to the generational faith passed from Lois to Eunice to Timothy in the Bible. She highlights how legacy evangelism isn’t just for the well-known or the famous but is built through ordinary faithfulness, acts of kindness, everyday prayers, and sharing our personal stories. This episode challenges us to ask: what legacy of evangelism are we leaving behind? Will people remember us as those who kept the good news to ourselves, or as those who sowed generously into others’ lives? Be encouraged to let legacy become your motivation for sharing Jesus and shaping a future that outlives you.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Legacy is what you leave behind in people, not just for them.
- Our example becomes our legacy in evangelism.
- No act of witness is ever wasted; seeds bear fruit later.
- Faith can be passed down through generations.
- Ordinary acts of kindness can lead to extraordinary impacts.
- The life of Jesus is the greatest legacy we can follow.
- We must preach the good news through words and actions.
- Churches should lean into the concept of legacy in outreach.
- Identifying individuals to sow into can create lasting change.
- The full impact of our legacy may only be seen in eternity.
- And more…

Discussion Questions
- When you hear the word “legacy,” what comes to mind? Money, property, reputation, or something deeper? How does Jesus call us to think about legacy differently?
Read: Matthew 6:19–20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”
- DL Moody said, “Out of 100 people, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.” What would people “read” about evangelism if they looked at your life or your church?
Read: 1 Corinthians 11:1 “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”
- Paul wrote that he planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. How can you stay motivated to share your faith, even when you don’t see immediate results?
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
- Timothy’s faith was passed down from his grandmother Lois to his mother Eunice, and then to him. How are you sowing faith into the next generation whether your children, grandchildren, or spiritual children?
Read: 2 Timothy 1:5 “I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice…”
- The Samaritan woman simply shared her story, and many believed. What “ordinary” acts of kindness, consistency, or testimony might God use in your life to point people to Jesus?
Read: John 4:39 “Many of the Samaritans… believed in him because of the woman’s testimony.”
- Jesus didn’t leave behind property or writings, but He left behind disciples, His message, and His example. Which of these three legacies do you feel most challenged to carry forward today - discipleship, proclaiming the gospel, or living with compassion and sacrifice?
Read: John 13:34–35 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
- Legacy is built in many small, faithful moments. What is one practical step you can take this week, such as a prayer, an act of kindness, or a simple mention of Jesus that could plant a seed in someone’s life?
Read: Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
In this episode of the Win/Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sat under the teaching of some of the world’s leading voices in evangelism and apologetics at the Ideas Convention in Belgrave, Victoria. Justin Brierley, Sean McDowell, Mary Jo Sharp, and Rob Martin all brought thought-provoking insights into how we can have better conversations about faith. From Justin’s commitment to respectful dialogue with sceptics, to Rob’s reminder that people everywhere are thirsty for meaning, to Sean’s gentle approach of walking with others, and Mary Jo’s journey from atheism to Christianity. Each speaker brought something powerful and practical for everyday believers.
In this episode, Tina unpacks what she learned and how these insights can help us all share Jesus in more natural and confident ways. If you’ve ever felt nervous about faith conversations or unsure how to answer tough questions, this is for you. Discover why apologetics isn’t just about arguments but about listening, respecting, and opening doors for the gospel.

Discussion Questions
- When you think about apologetics, do you tend to picture a debate or a conversation? How could shifting from “winning arguments” to “building relationships” change the way you share your faith?
Read: Colossians 4:5–6 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders… Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt…”
- Justin Brierley said: “If our faith cannot stand up to difficult questions, is it worth having?” How do you respond when someone asks you a challenging question about Christianity?
Read: 1 Peter 3:15 “Always be prepared to give an answer… but do this with gentleness and respect.”
- Rob Martin reminded us that people are thirsty for meaning, purpose, and hope and only Jesus satisfies. Where do you see “spiritual thirst” in your workplace, neighbourhood, or family?
Read: John 4:13–14 “Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.”
- Testimonies cut through arguments because no one can deny your lived experience. If someone asked why you follow Jesus, what part of your story would you share first?
Read: Revelation 12:11 “They triumphed… by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
- Sean McDowell emphasised that conversion is often a journey, not an event. How patient are you in walking with someone who isn’t yet ready to believe?
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
- Mary Jo Sharp’s story shows that even the most skeptical people can be reached through honest, thoughtful conversations. Who in your life is a skeptic or deep thinker and how could you begin with a genuine question instead of an answer?
Read: Acts 17:22–23 Paul began with respect and curiosity when addressing the Athenians.
- Tina challenged listeners to have one intentional faith conversation this week not a debate, not a sermon, but a question that opens the door. What’s one small step you could take this week to open up a spiritual conversation?
Read: Romans 10:14 “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?”
In this episode, Tina Waldrom has a heartfelt conversation with Rabbi Lawrence Hirsch about the importance of bringing the Gospel to the Jewish Community. Rabbi Lawrence opens up about his personal journey to faith, giving listeners a glimpse into the unique challenges that Jewish people face when considering Jesus as the Messiah. He also takes time to share the historical background of Jewish-Christian relations, helping Christians better understand the sensitivities that still exist today. His story highlights both the struggles and the hope that come with following Christ, while holding on to the rich heritage of Jewish identity.
The discussion goes deeper into what evangelism looks like in this context, stressing the need for Christians to approach Jewish people with gentleness, humility, and respect. Rabbi Lawrence explains that sharing the gospel isn’t about stripping away Jewishness, but rather about showing how faith in Jesus fulfills the promises of Scripture. For churches and believers today, this episode is a valuable reminder that evangelism requires cultural awareness and genuine love, especially when reaching out to communities with such deep spiritual and historical roots.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Lawrence Hirsch’s journey from a Jewish upbringing to faith in Jesus.
- The importance of recognising Jesus' Jewish identity in evangelism.
- Christianity has deep Jewish roots that should be acknowledged.
- Many Jewish people feel betrayed when someone converts to Christianity.
- Outreach to the Jewish community should emphasise continuity, not conversion.
- Historical tensions between Christians and Jews impact current relationships.
- Love and support for Jewish people are crucial in today's climate.
- The recent events in Israel have heightened anti-Semitism globally.
- Christians can play a role in combating anti-Semitism through friendship.
- In times of hardship, people are more open to the Gospel message.
- And more…

Discussion Questions
- How does remembering that Jesus Himself was Jewish shape the way we share the Gospel with Jewish people and with anyone?
Read: Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”
- Rabbi Lawrence shared how his brother used Isaiah 53 without revealing the passage, and he immediately recognised Jesus in it. What role should the Old Testament/Tanakh play in our evangelism conversations?
Read: Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions…”
- Jewish people often feel that believing in Jesus means “rejecting” their Jewish identity. How can we, as Christians, communicate that following Jesus is not about abandoning culture or heritage but about fulfilling God’s promises?
Read: Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
- Lawrence mentioned his mother felt “betrayed” when he came to faith. How should we sensitively approach conversations with people who may see accepting Jesus as disloyalty to family, culture, or tradition?
Read: Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother… yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.” (to wrestle with the cost of discipleship and relational tensions)
- The history of Christian persecution of Jews is a massive barrier in evangelism. How can acknowledging past wrongs and showing humility open doors for Gospel conversations today?
Read: Romans 11:18 “Do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
- Lawrence described evangelism as not inviting Jews to “become Christians” but showing them that Jesus is their Messiah. How could this paradigm shift change the way you share your faith with anyone?
Read: John 4:22 – “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.”
- Lawrence and his wife Louise both came to faith within hours of each other on opposite sides of the world — a testimony of God’s sovereign timing. How can stories like this encourage us to trust God’s timing in our evangelism efforts?
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
In this episode, Tina Waldrom continues her conversation with Pastor Rob Martin. This time, the focus turns to big questions secular people ask and how believers can engage. The pandemic for one exposed deep issues within society. Rob reflects on the nature of suffering and how people have wrestled with feelings of loss, fear, and uncertainty during this time. He explains that the Christian faith doesn’t shy away from suffering but instead provides a framework of hope and meaning, pointing to the presence of Christ in the middle of life’s hardest moments. Personal stories are also shared, reminding listeners that being open about our struggles can build bridges of understanding and compassion.
The episode also highlights how these themes connect with evangelism and the heart behind the Ideas Convention. Rob Martin explains that sharing our pain alongside the hope we’ve found in Christ helps others see that the gospel is not just theory but real good news for everyday life. Evangelism, he suggests, is less about having neat answers and more about walking with people in their questions, pointing them to Jesus as the ultimate source of comfort and transformation. Building on the themes of last week’s episode, which gave an overview of the Ideas Convention, this conversation equips Christians to engage culture authentically, demonstrating how the message of Christ speaks directly into the even bigger questions people are asking today.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Hope can be found even in difficult times like the pandemic.
- The pandemic has revealed underlying societal issues.
- Suffering can lead to deeper connections with God.
- The Christian message offers hope and meaning in suffering.
- Personal stories of suffering can resonate with others.
- God's presence provides comfort in anxious times.
- The good news of Jesus is transformative for individuals and society.
- And more…

In this episode, Tina Waldrom chats with Pastor Rob Martin about the upcoming Idea Convention, a gathering designed to put Jesus right at the heart of conversations about life, purpose, and worldview. They discuss the growing cultural ‘meaning crisis’, where materialism and the pursuit of pleasure often leave people feeling empty. Pastor Rob shares why it’s so important for Christians to be confident in the message they carry, especially when addressing life’s biggest questions. The Idea Convention will feature a range of thought-provoking speakers who will unpack why Christ offers the only lasting answer to the search for fulfilment and purpose.
The conversation also explores how events like the Idea Convention can inspire fresh approaches to evangelism. By equipping believers to engage with culture’s toughest issues, the convention aims to help Christians connect the gospel with the real concerns people face today. Whether it’s in a casual conversation with a neighbour or a public forum, the skills and insights gained can make a huge difference in sharing faith with clarity and compassion. Tina and Pastor Rob remind listeners that evangelism isn’t just about telling people the good news—it’s about showing how Jesus speaks directly into the deepest needs of our time.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks with Karen Workentin, Dean of Rhema Bible Training College Australia, about the power and challenges of street evangelism.

Discussion Questions
- Are you actively "going" into your community, or waiting for people to come to you?
Phil Smith referenced Luke 10 as the foundation for community engagement. Jesus sends His disciples into the towns. Evangelism starts with a posture of movement, not waiting. What does “going” look like in your neighborhood, workplace, or local setting?
READ: “Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” — Luke 10:3 (NIV)
- Who are the "people of peace" in your life that God might be calling you to connect with?
Phil spoke of putting your feet under the table and listening. These people of peace are often doorways into broader ministry opportunities. Can you identify someone who is open to relationship or spiritual conversation? How can you go deeper?
READ: “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them.” — Luke 10:5–6 (NIV)
- How does your rhythm of life reflect the values of “belong, eat, listen, learn, and serve”?
Which of these five rhythms are you living out regularly? Which need more intentionality?
READ: “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” — Romans 12:13 (NIV)
- How might sharing a meal become a setting for sharing Jesus?
“Dinner Church” was more than a meal—it was fellowship, openness, and organic ministry. Could you use meals as a setting for spiritual conversations? Who might you invite to your table?READ: “They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.” — Acts 2:46–47 (NIV)
- Are you replicating what you talk about, or what you actually do?
In what areas might your lifestyle need to align more with your message of faith?
READ: “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 11:1 (NIV)
- What simple acts of service could open the door to spiritual conversations in your neighborhood?
What are some everyday needs in your community you could help meet?
READ: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
- How has God uniquely gifted your church (or you personally) to meet the needs of your community?
What passions, skills, or resources do you have that God might use to serve and reach your community?
READ: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.” — 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
In this episode, Tina Waldrom dives into how community engagement and evangelism work together by speaking with three experienced leaders—Phil Smith, Scott Hawkins, and Marcus Watson. Each of them shares down-to-earth advice on how churches can build genuine relationships with the people in their local areas. They talk about the power of simply showing up, being present, and keeping things uncomplicated. Instead of waiting for big moments, these leaders encourage trying new things, even if they don’t always go to plan—because that’s how meaningful growth happens in both faith and outreach.
The conversation is a practical and inspiring reminder that evangelism isn’t just about preaching; it’s about loving your neighbour and meeting real needs. Tina and her guests challenge listeners to take a fresh look at their church’s role in the community. Are we making space for connection? Are we listening and learning from the people around us? This episode will help you see how small, intentional actions can open big doors for sharing Jesus. If you've ever wondered how community engagement and evangelism work together, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and plenty of ideas to start where you are.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Church should model radical simplicity in community engagement.
- Presence in the community is essential before preaching.
- Church work and community work should not be separated.
- Engaging with local pain points is crucial for effective outreach.
- Church leaders should reflect on their community impact regularly.
- Churches should embrace their neighbourhoods as primary mission fields.
- And more…

Tina Waldrom brings together insights from three guests who are passionate about living out the gospel through love and action in this social justice and evangelism roundup. Hear from Kim Hammond, Jon Owen and Rachel Dunwell as they explore the differences between biblical justice and the broader idea of social justice, helping listeners understand how Scripture calls Christians to restore what’s broken with mercy and truth. The conversation highlights that evangelism isn’t just about preaching—it’s also about stepping into people’s lives with compassion, kindness, and a willingness to meet real, practical needs.
This episode digs deep into what it looks like for the Church to be a place that not only shares the good news but also shows it through justice and advocacy. Whether it’s standing up for the vulnerable or creating safe spaces for the hurting, this social justice and evangelism roundup challenges believers to live with purpose. Listeners are encouraged to see justice as a central part of God’s heart, not just a side issue. As we open our hearts to those in need, we naturally create more meaningful opportunities to share our faith in ways that are real, relational, and deeply transformative.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Biblical justice is the heartbeat of God.
- Social justice can be polarising but is essential to the gospel.

Discussion Questions
- How does biblical justice differ from social justice, and why is that distinction important for Christians who want to share their faith?
Read: Micah 6:8 – “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
- In what ways can the Church reframe justice as essential—not optional—for every believer's discipleship and mission?
Read: Isaiah 1:17 – “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”
- How does the concept of shalom (peace/wholeness) reshape your understanding of evangelism and helping others experience the Kingdom of God?
Read: Jeremiah 29:7 – “Seek the peace (shalom) of the city… and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”
- Rachel Dunwell shared that a child in a brothel cannot hear the gospel until their basic needs are met. What does this say about the relationship between justice, compassion, and evangelism?
Read: 1 John 3:18 – “Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”
- How might global awareness (e.g., through social media) be a tool God is using to stir His Church toward justice and evangelism?
Read: Proverbs 31:8-9 – “Open your mouth for the mute… defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
- John Owen spoke of evangelism as an “interruption of grace.” How can you personally practice evangelism in a way that is full of love and fascination rather than force?
Read: Romans 2:4 – “God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance.”
- Are you personally sent to engage in justice as part of your evangelistic witness? What’s one tangible step you can take this week?
Read: Matthew 25:35-36 – “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink... I was in prison and you came to me.”
In this episode, Tina Waldrom takes a closer look at how evangelism and social justice go hand in hand. Drawing from conversations with past guests – Kim Hammond, Jon Owen and Rachel Dunwell – she unpacks what it means to live out our faith in a world full of inequality and hurt. The episode highlights how sharing the good news isn’t just about words—it’s about action too. Evangelism becomes more powerful when it’s rooted in biblical justice and expressed through acts of compassion, kindness, and standing up for what’s right.
Listeners are invited to consider how they can play a personal role in addressing injustice while pointing people to Jesus. From speaking up for the vulnerable to serving those in need, evangelism can flourish when believers commit to living out the gospel with both truth and love. Tina reminds us that justice isn’t a side issue—it’s part of the heart of God. As we pursue justice in our everyday lives, we create more meaningful opportunities to share our faith in a way that’s authentic, relational, and deeply impactful.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Biblical justice is not an add-on to the gospel; it is the gospel.
- Justice is about restoring what is broken with mercy.
- Evangelism should create safe spaces for people.
- Personal stories of trauma can lead to powerful advocacy.
- The heart of God is for the oppressed and marginalised..
- Justice and evangelism are not separate; they are intertwined.

Discussion Questions
- Where in your life might you be more influenced by cultural ideas of justice than by God's call to biblical justice?

“...comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:4

Read: “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18

Read: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” – Mark 12:31
In this episode, Tina Waldrom shares a recap covering three seasoned ministers about how the prophetic and evangelism go hand in hand. The group breaks down what it means to live a prophetic life—not just for those who carry the title of prophet, but for everyday believers who want to hear God’s voice and follow His lead. They share real-life stories that show how prophetic moments, no matter how small, can spark genuine conversations about faith. The episode encourages listeners to recognise the different ways God speaks to people and to develop the courage to act on what they hear, especially in everyday situations.
The episode also touches on the role of prophets today, explaining that they’re not just there to speak on behalf of God, but to help others hear Him more clearly. Tina highlights the need for the Church to evolve - especially after the changes brought on by COVID-19. Church structures may need to loosen control so that individuals are empowered to step into their calling. This prophecy and evangelism roundup challenges the Church to let go of outdated models and embrace a new season where Spirit-led evangelism is personal, powerful, and led by people willing to listen and respond to God’s voice.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- The prophetic is one of the five spiritual gifts mentioned in scripture.
- Everyone can live a prophetic life, not just those in the office of a prophet.
- God speaks differently to different people, and we must recognise our unique ways of hearing.
- Hearing God's voice often requires time and a willingness to pause.
- Church structures may need to change to empower individuals for outreach.
- COVID-19 has forced the church to reconsider its methods and mission.
- The new era of the church may require relinquishing control and embracing change.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom explores how prophecy and evangelism work together, showing that they’re not separate or competing gifts, but designed to complement each other. She explains that evangelism isn’t meant to be done alone or in our own strength—it’s something we do in partnership with the Holy Spirit. By learning to listen to God’s voice, we can share our faith in ways that are timely, personal, and deeply meaningful to the people we’re reaching.

She encourages every believer—not just the “spiritually gifted”—to be open to hearing from God as they reach out to others. The episode is a clear call to the church: it’s time to step out with boldness and sensitivity, allowing God to lead our conversations and actions.

Why is it so important to hold onto the word "evangelism" within the church? In this episode, Tina Waldrom talks about reclaiming evangelism. Over time, the term has picked up some negative baggage, often misunderstood or linked with pressure-filled or outdated methods. Tina challenges that thinking, reminding listeners that evangelism, at its heart, is simply about sharing good news. She explains that it’s something deeply relational, spiritual, and meant to be lived out in everyday life, not just in formal church settings or special events.
Tina also encourages believers to see evangelism as something we all can do, something that should reflect love, authenticity, and the hope we have in Christ. Rather than ditching the word altogether, she calls for a fresh understanding that fits today’s culture while staying true to its biblical roots. The episode wraps up with a powerful call to action: for Christians to embrace evangelism as a vital and joyful part of following Jesus. If you've ever felt unsure or uneasy about the term, this episode will inspire you to see it in a whole new light.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- The word evangelism needs to be reclaimed, not abandoned.
- Evangelism is about sharing good news, not pressure or performance.
- The early church viewed evangelism as a core identity.
- Evangelism should be relational and spirit-led.
- Cultural awareness is essential in modern evangelism.
- We risk losing clarity about our calling if we drop the word evangelism.
- Evangelism is for everyone, not just pastors or extroverts.
- The Great Commission remains unchanged: go and make disciples.
- And more…

In this episode, Tina Waldrom dives into the idea that everyone’s journey to faith looks different. She unpacks why some people come to Jesus quickly, while others take a bit more time. Tina reminds us that evangelism is not a one-size-fits-all process. She explains how we can better understand where someone is on their spiritual journey—and more importantly, how to walk alongside them patiently and with grace. Rather than being discouraged when things move slowly, she encourages us to see every small step as part of the bigger picture.
Tina also shares practical advice for staying motivated when our evangelism efforts don’t bring immediate results. She highlights the importance of consistency, genuine relationships, and celebrating even the smallest spiritual milestones. Evangelism, she says, is often a long-term investment, and it’s vital to stay engaged and hopeful throughout the process. Whether someone comes to Jesus quickly or over many years, our role is to be faithful, kind, and ready to share when the time is right. This episode is a helpful reminder that every journey matters—and that God works in people’s hearts in His own perfect timing.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Some people come to faith suddenly, while others take time.
- Spiritual progress can be measured using the Engle scale.
- Just because someone hasn't converted doesn't mean they're not growing.
- Celebrate small wins in the spiritual journey of others.
- Trust God's timing in the conversion process.
- Focus on movement, not just decisions.
- Stay consistent in showing love and care for those you're reaching out to.
- Find support and accountability in your evangelism efforts.
- Your witness matters, even if you don't see immediate results.
- And more…

In this episode, Tina Waldrom chats with Letitia Shelton, founder of City Women Toowoomba, about why it's so important to mobilise women to help address the real pain and struggles happening in their local communities. Letitia shares her own experiences from Toowoomba, Australia, where she’s been working to bring hope and healing by encouraging women to step out and make a difference. She also talks about how this mission has now reached Fiji, showing that when women are empowered and churches work together, real change can happen. Their discussion reminds us that evangelism isn’t just about words—it’s about action, love, and being present in people’s lives.
Tina and Letitia point out that true evangelism means being committed to long-term community transformation, not just trying to boost church attendance numbers. Letitia emphasises that real impact happens when churches unite across denominations and believers stay focused on serving their neighbourhoods for the long haul. It’s not about quick results; it’s about faithfully showing up and building trust over time. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that living out the message of Jesus means rolling up our sleeves and being the hands and feet of Christ wherever we are.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Mobilising women into the community pain is essential.
- Unity among churches can lead to a greater impact.
- Women often feel the heart of their community.
- Community transformation requires long-term commitment.
- Listening to the community is crucial for effective outreach.
- Success in ministry should be measured by community health.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Ben Boland, a seasoned chaplain in aged care, to talk about a topic that many people overlook—how to share faith with older adults, especially those living with dementia. Ben opens up about the challenges that come with ministering in this space, but also the deep joy and purpose it brings. He explains how evangelism in aged care looks different from other settings—it’s not about long sermons or deep theology, but about showing up with love, being present, and offering moments of spiritual connection, even with those who may not respond in the usual ways.
Ben Boland highlights that just because someone is living with dementia doesn’t mean their spiritual life is gone. He shares touching examples of how prayer, music, and simple gestures can still spark connection and peace in profound ways. This conversation reminds us that older adults are not forgotten or less valuable in God’s eyes—they’re deeply loved and still capable of engaging with faith. For anyone wondering how to care spiritually for aging loved ones or minister within aged care, this episode offers both encouragement and practical steps to bring the hope of Jesus into this often-quiet mission field of evangelism.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Dementia is a complex condition with many forms.
- Spiritual conversations are vital for older adults.
- Faith can exist even in those with cognitive decline.
- Prayer is essential for effective ministry.
- Engagement with nonverbal residents is crucial.

Discussion Questions
-
How do we view the spiritual value of older people and those living with dementia? Ben reminded us that people with dementia are “created in God’s image and so loved that God died for them.” Do we believe this truth, or are we unconsciously assigning lesser value to those with cognitive decline?Read: Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:14, Isaiah 46:4
-
What prevents us from ministering to or visiting people with dementia? Ben contrasted how people flocked to visit his dying mother, yet abandoned his father with dementia. He said, “If we’re only visiting for what we get out of it, then our Christian love needs some pretty hard work.”
Read: Matthew 25:40, James 1:27
- How can we share the Gospel when memory and cognition are impaired?Ben stressed that “The Spirit works beyond cognition.” Evangelism isn’t dependent on someone’s mental sharpness—it’s a spiritual encounter.
Read: 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, Romans 8:26-27
- Are we relying on God’s power or our own when doing ministry? Ben said, “Prayer is what powers our ministry. It’s not about your great podcasting ability or my chaplaincy skills. It’s about God and His power.”
Read: Zechariah 4:6, John 15:5
- Why might people in aged care be more spiritually open than younger people? Ben explained that aged care residents have let go of the idols of youth—beauty, career, power—and know they are nearing the end of life.
Read: Ecclesiastes 3:11, Hebrews 9:27, Philippians 3:8
- How do we define and express the Gospel in relational, not just intellectual, ways?Ben said, “If we reduce a person to their brain, or theology to a thought process, we’ve reduced the gospel.”
Read: 1 John 3:18, Colossians 4:6, 1 Corinthians 13:1-2
- What can you do today to bring Christ's presence into aged care spaces?Is there someone elderly you can pray for, visit, write to, or support this week? How might God be calling you to evangelise in this overlooked mission field?
Read: Matthew 28:19-20, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 31:8

Tina also highlights that effective evangelism during Easter isn’t about preaching to people—it’s about sharing your own journey and letting your life reflect the love of Christ.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks with Karen Workentin, Dean of Rhema Bible Training College Australia, about the power and challenges of street evangelism.

The conversation also explores the scepticism some people have about church evangelism, often due to past negative experiences.

In this episode, host Tina Waldrom explores how pastors and church leaders can effectively equip believers for evangelism. Sharing the gospel isn’t just for pastors—it’s a calling for every believer. However, many Christians hesitate because they don’t feel confident articulating their faith. Tina discusses how teaching frameworks can help simplify the gospel message, making it easier to share. Prayer is another key element in effective evangelism, and Tina encourages churches to build a culture of prayer specifically focused on outreach.
Beyond traditional methods, Tina highlights the role of social media as a powerful evangelism tool in today’s digital world. She urges churches to integrate evangelism into all aspects of ministry, rather than treating it as a one-time event. By providing practical resources and celebrating small wins—like a single conversation about Jesus or someone taking a step closer to faith—churches can inspire more believers to actively share the gospel. This episode is packed with insights to help pastors and church leaders create a church culture where evangelism is second nature, equipping believers with the tools and confidence to share Jesus in their everyday lives.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Pastors play a crucial role in equipping believers for effective evangelism.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks with Nicola Gibb, who shares her firsthand experiences on how to run a gospel event, particularly tent gatherings. Nicola discusses the challenges of organising these activities, from fundraising to mobilising volunteers, and emphasises the crucial role of church leaders in casting a clear vision. She highlights that evangelism isn’t just about the event itself but also about building relationships within the local community and ensuring discipleship continues long after the event ends.
She stresses that evangelism is a team effort, requiring a united church body ready to step out in faith. Whether you’re planning a large-scale outreach or a small community gathering, the insights you will learn can provide practical steps on how to run a gospel event successfully. From engaging local leaders to preparing your congregation and ensuring follow-up, this conversation offers encouragement and wisdom for anyone passionate about spreading the gospel.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Gospel events require faith, obedience, and a clear vision.
- Nicola required boldness to put up the tent in Penrith.
- Creative fundraising can support outreach efforts.
- Discipleship is essential to ensure long-term impact and spiritual growth.
- Engaging the local community helps churches grow.
- Vision casting helps rally support for local missions.
- And more…
Discussion Questions
- Nicola shared how she felt led by the Holy Spirit to set up a gospel tent, even though she had never done it before. When has God asked you to step out in faith, even when you felt unqualified? How did you respond?
Related Scripture: James 2:17, Isaiah 6:8
-
God provided for Nicola’s tent event through an unexpected art exhibition. How have you seen God provide for you in unexpected ways when you stepped out in faith? How does Philippians 4:19 apply to your situation?
-
Nicola emphasised making the local community a mission field. How can you personally contribute to evangelism in your local area? What steps can you take this week?
Related Scripture: Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19-20
- Nicola’s story of overcoming challenges became a testimony that inspired others. How has God worked in your life that could be shared to encourage someone else's faith journey?
Related Scripture: Revelation 12:11, 1 Peter 3:15
- The tent event wasn’t just about conversions but also about follow-up through Alpha courses and community-building. How can you help new believers grow in their faith? How could you actively disciple someone?
Related Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:2, Hebrews 10:24-25
- Nicola stressed the importance of making visitors feel welcome and helping them connect to community groups. What practical ways can you make non-believers or new believers feel welcomed in your church or small group?
Related Scripture: Romans 15:7, Colossians 4:5-6
- Nicola mentioned that not everyone who attends a gospel event stays, but God works in the hearts of those who do. How do you trust God for the results when you share the gospel, even if you don’t see immediate fruit?

In this episode, Doctor Tina Waldrom shares exciting new initiatives for 2025 that are designed to help the Church share Jesus in more meaningful and effective ways. She highlights the importance of being intentional in our evangelism efforts, focusing on a simple yet powerful challenge: Reaching 5 People with the Gospel in 2025.
The conversation dives into practical steps for making this happen. Tina talks about how important it is to be patient and trust God’s timing as we share the gospel with others. Evangelism isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, and Tina emphasises that everyone's journey will look different. By focusing on reaching 5 in ‘25, listeners are reminded that small, consistent efforts can lead to big impacts in spreading the message of Jesus and growing God’s Kingdom.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Evangelism starts with prayer and intentionality
- Building genuine connections is key
- Your personal story matters
- Consistency is crucial
- Faith-sharing is a journey
- And more…
Discussion Questions
- Who are the five people God is placing on your heart this year?
Reflect on your current relationships—family, friends, coworkers, or neighbours—who don't yet know Jesus. Write their names down and commit to praying for them regularly.
Scripture Reference: Colossians 4:2-3 - "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message."
- How can you build genuine connections with these five people?
Consider ways to intentionally connect with each person at least once a month—whether through a text, coffee, or a walk. How can you show up and listen more than you speak?
Scripture Reference: 1 Thessalonians 2:8 - "Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well."
- In what ways can you serve your five with kindness and love?
Think about small acts of service that demonstrate God's love in action—helping with errands, offering a thoughtful gift, or simply being there in times of need. How can you reflect Christ’s heart through your actions?
Scripture Reference: Galatians 5:13 - "Serve one another humbly in love."
- What part of your story can you share naturally to point others to Jesus?
Identify moments in your life where your faith has made a difference. How can you share these experiences authentically and briefly without feeling pressured to have a dramatic testimony?
Scripture Reference: 1 Peter 3:15 - "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."
- How can you invite your five to explore faith in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them?
Are there creative ways to introduce spiritual conversations—perhaps through a book, podcast, or a casual gathering? How can you create a safe space for them to explore?
Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
- How can you be attentive to opportunities God provides for deeper conversations?
Are you recognising moments when people open up about personal struggles or questions? How can you be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading in these moments?
Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:15-16 - "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."
- How will you reflect, follow up, and adjust your approach as the year progresses?
Consider how your five are responding to your efforts. Are they becoming more open or still hesitant? How can you remain patient and adjust your approach with grace?
Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 4:2 - "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction."

In this episode, Tina Waldrom chats with Jessie Skelly, the National Director of Pais Movement Australia, about the practical steps believers can take to share their faith with anyone, anywhere. They discuss a four-step approach: spread, spot, stay, and send.

In this conversation, Tina Waldrom interviews social and business entrepreneur Stephanie Woolard OAM. Stephanie shares her journey of starting a charity in Nepal and her shift towards understanding the importance of sharing the gospel alongside good works. She started the charity Seven Women to empower disabled women in Nepal but realised that without a heart transformation and a personal relationship with God, true empowerment and lasting change were difficult to achieve.
Stephanie's personal journey of faith was deeply influenced by her grandmother's example which led her to embrace Christianity. This spiritual awakening not only shaped her approach to charity work but also inspired her to contribute in new ways. In Australia, she now collaborates with Food for Thought, an organization that fosters values-based business networking groups. These groups provide a platform for exploring faith and belief, bridging the gap between professional life and personal values. Through these initiatives, Stephanie continues her mission to combine good works with the gospel, promoting holistic empowerment and meaningful change in the communities she serves.
In this podcast episode, you will discover:
- Why Good works alone are not enough to bring about lasting change
- The place of good works when sharing the gospel.

He suggests exploring these themes in a conversation: the expression of God's love, dealing with evil, desiring justice, and the promise of eternal life. Dan expresses a keen interest in exploring people's perspectives on life after death, a discussion prompted by Jesus' resurrection.
Nathan, an expert on initiating faith/belief-based conversations, identifies happiness as an excellent starting point because it's a universal desire. He urges listeners to ask questions around Easter related to happiness and what it means to each individual, eventually linking the discussion to purpose and meaning in life.
This episode emphasises the importance of asking questions and engaging in meaningful conversations during Easter. We hope this encourages and equips you to effectively share Jesus this Easter season.

- The origins of Easter and how it presents an opportune moment to discuss the message of Jesus.

In this thought-provoking episode Tina Waldrom engages in a spiritually enlightening conversation with the one of Australia’s leading prophetic voices, Vicki Simpson. In this episode titled “Let My People Go with Vicki Simpson,” Vicki shares prophetic insights and wisdom about the path she feels the Lord is laying out for His people regarding outreach. There is a need for churches to relinquish control, one of a few potential challenges.
Vicki begins by addressing the crucial need for a transformative shift in the Church’s approach, emphasising the importance of equipping and mobilising all believers for the Great Commission in a wider context. With her prophetic perspective, she challenges the traditional notions of church, advocating for a new era where each individual believer recognises their unique calling and is actively encouraged to pursue and fulfil that. The vision of the ‘house’ is many regards must be reassessed.
The episode derives its title, “Let My People Go,” from the biblical story of Exodus, highlighting the need for a release, a freedom from constraints that have hindered the Church’s mission. This release is not dissimilar with Jesus’ command in the Great Commission to “Go,” and Vicki emphasises the urgency of mobilising and empowering more people to answer this divine call.
In this podcast episode, you will discover:
- Vicki Simpson’s prophetic insights for the Church today.
- Clarity around what the Spirit is saying to body of Christ now.
- A vision for an empowered, decentralised Church.
- The parallels between “Let My People Go” and mobilising for the gospel.
- How to address the challenges in embracing change.
- A call to action for believers to engage in their unique roles for making disciples.
- Vicki’s Vision of The Rubik’s Cube Church
- The challenges that leaders face to embrace a new era of church mission.
- Why the church is stuck where it is today.
- The need for meta church not meg church.
- And much more…

This summer in Australia, we are showcasing the top 5 episodes listened to in 2023. This is #3.
Tina Waldrom speaks with Doctor Kurt Fredrickson about The Church, Settled or Sent? The Bible paints a picture of a missionary God and His people sent into a world that needs Christ. Why then does the church settle and lose its influence in the world? Why does it live settled and not sent? Kurt Fredrickson is the current Associate Dean for Professional Doctoral Programs at Fuller Theological Seminary in California, USA. Before his role at Fuller, Kurt led his church from being settled to living sent. It was not an easy road. He shares the lessons learnt.
Kurt Fredrickson is in a unique position. Previously a church pastor, he now meets and journeys with hundreds of church leaders who pass through the doctoral programs at Fuller Seminary. He knows the current struggles that leaders face. He understands the complexities of the world the church is called to, and he is passionate about the church being salt and light in local contexts. As a practitioner, he made the hard calls. He made the changes to move his church from a place of comfort to a place of discomfort. And yes, people left the church and the budget suffered. But nevertheless, he and his church lived as a sent people.
In this episode, Kurt lays the biblical foundation for the people of God living as a sent people. He talks about an eternal, missionary God, and the implications for local congregations. He is kind enough to share his own shortcomings and graceful in sharing the wisdom learnt. He talks about the people who left his church. About the financial drop that his church experienced and the cost of calling the church to deeper discipleship. Kurt, in a very frank conversation, gives some great insights on how to move a church to a place of sentness.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Why the church should live sent and not settled.
- A working definition of settled and sent.
- What churches look like when they are settled.
- Why a church gets stuck and remains settled.
- How to move a church to a place of sentness.
- What the Bible says about settled versus sent.
- Why Kurt Fredrickson moved his church outward and the cost.
- How to move a congregation to look and move outward.
- Why the senior leader needs to model the sent life.
- The need for church staff to live life outside the church walls.
- And so much more…

In this thought-provoking episode, Tina Waldrom engages in a compelling conversation with Cindy McGarvie, the National Director of Youth For Christ Australia. The focus of their discussion revolves around the challenges and strategies for reaching a post-biblical and post-moral society. The conversation delves into the keys to effectively reach individuals in this societal context.
Cindy begins by providing insight into the characteristics of a society that is both post-biblical and post-moral, emphasising the lack of collective historical memory of fundamental Christian stories and knowledge in the current generation. A key revelation emerges as Cindy and Tina explore the idea that people are not merely seeking information about Christianity; rather, they are eager to discover if it works in the complexities of modern life. The imperative for Christians, therefore, is to authentically live out their faith in a manner that demonstrates its relevance and efficacy in addressing the challenges of today.
Youth For Christ's proactive approach is brought to the forefront, as Cindy discusses the organisation's efforts in training young missionaries to navigate and impact this evolving culture. Additionally, specific resources are introduced, designed to aid individuals in understanding and effectively engaging with the unique challenges of a post-biblical and post-moral society.
In this podcast episode, you will discover:
- The characteristics of a post-biblical and post-moral society.
- Keys to reaching individuals in a culture with no collective memory of basic Christian stories.
- The shift from seeking information to discovering if Christianity works in the real world.
- The crucial role of authentic Christian living in reaching a sceptical audience.
- Youth For Christ's initiatives in training missionaries for cultural impact.
- Resources available to help navigate and engage with the challenges of contemporary culture.

In the middle of 2023, the topic of "The Church Settled or Sent" has become the second most widely downloaded episode. Perhaps this is because Doctor Kurt Fredrickson was able to articulate what many had been thinking, or perhaps it was because the Lord Himself had already been revealing this truth. The episode's popularity could also be attributed to Kurt's ability to live out the principles he preached, as he confronted challenges without dismantling or undermining the body of Christ. His genuine love for the church radiates through his demeanour. Regardless of the cause, this episode struck a chord with Christian believers all over the world during the first half of 2023.
In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks with Doctor Kurt Fredrickson about The Church, Settled or Sent? The Bible paints a picture of a missionary God and His people sent into a world that needs Christ. Why then does the church settle and lose its influence in the world? Why does it live settled and not sent? Kurt Fredrickson is the current Associate Dean for Professional Doctoral Programs at Fuller Theological Seminary in California, USA. Before his role at Fuller, Kurt led his church from being settled to living sent. It was not an easy road. He shares the lessons learnt.
Kurt Fredrickson is in a unique position. Previously a church pastor, he now meets and journeys with hundreds of church leaders who pass through the doctoral programs at Fuller Seminary. He knows the current struggles that leaders face. He understands the complexities of the world the church is called to, and he is passionate about the church being salt and light in local contexts. As a practitioner, he made the hard calls. He made the changes to move his church from a place of comfort to a place of discomfort. And yes, people left the church and the budget suffered. But nevertheless, he and his church lived as a sent people.
In this episode, Kurt lays the biblical foundation for the people of God living as a sent people. He talks about an eternal, missionary God, and the implications for local congregations. He is kind enough to share his own shortcomings and graceful in sharing the wisdom learnt. He talks about the people who left his church. About the financial drop that his church experienced and the cost of calling the church to deeper discipleship. Kurt, in a very frank conversation, gives some great insights on how to move a church to a place of sentness.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Why the church should live sent and not settled.
- A working definition of settled and sent.
- What churches look like when they are settled.

*SUPPORT THIS PODCAST HERETina Waldrom talks with Chris Friend about The Gospel and Disability. Chris is the CEO of Collective Hope Community Services in Perth, Western Australia. Chris never imagined that his life, and the life of the churches he leads, would minister in this direction. Seeking to meet the needs of the local community, the heart of Jesus led him, and his team to spaces of disability. He talks openly about the cost of following Christ into this area and the great joy of seeing restoration in Jesus’ name.Chris Friend is local pastor who has planted a number of churches. He is also the national leader for IPHC Ministries. In 2014, a group of people from his church, Collective Hope, recognised the issue of homelessness in their area. An initial home was set up to minister to the need, and further homes developed from there. Mental health disabilities became apparent among those they were ministering to and as a response, Collective Hope Disability Services was set up. Today, there is a host of services that are offered, meeting the community needs. CHDS is now an accredited NDIS provider in Perth, bringing hope and life to many.
In this episode, Chris talks about the way Christians should view disability and the role the church can play. He talks passionately about the ‘proclamation’ of the gospel and the ‘doing’ of the gospel. He sees them both as different sides of the one coin. One cannot exist without the other. Chris discusses the need for people to see and experience Christ, not just hear about Him. His contention is that Aussies need to see how Jesus can be the answer to their problem. People need to see how the good news can help them not merely hear about it.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Titilia Brown about Honest Community work In Jesus Name. Titilia is the Community Care Coordinator at Hands and Feet. Hands and Feet are unique in that they have a long history of providing help to the helpless, but they also train other churches to do the same. The model is Christlike. See people how Jesus sees them and engage with people through the eyes of Christ. Love unconditionally and care with no strings attached. This type of honest community work in Jesus’ name, paradoxically draws people to the person of Christ.
Hands and Feet are a Christian organisation that loves Christ. They feel the burden to help people in need. Community work done in Jesus' name should always prioritize honesty and purity. As Christians, we are called to be honest in our dealings with others, and to live with pure intentions that reflect our faith in Christ. However, our ultimate goal should not only be to serve the community but to also share the message of Christ's love and salvation. There are ways to hold these two in tension with honesty and integrity.
In this episode, Titilia encourages people to keep in mind that people need to know Christ, and our community work can serve as an honest means of introducing them to Him. Therefore, we must strive to demonstrate Christ's love and compassion in our actions, while also sharing the truth of the gospel in a loving and respectful way. By doing so, we can effectively impact our communities and lead others to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- What it means to do honest work in Jesus’ name.
- Who Hands and Feet are and what they do in Australia.
- How pure intensions can ultimately lead people to Christ.
- Why knowing Christ and being Christ work hand in hand.
- What loving people unconditionally looks like.
- Stories of people coming to faith through community work.
- Why people coming to faith in Christ is still important.
- What communicating Jesus respectfully looks like.
- Why demonstrating Christ’s love and compassion is needed.
- And so much more…

Tina Waldrom speaks with TV Co-Host James Macpherson about Reaching this Crazy World. The transgender discussion, with respect, highlights this crazy world discussion. James is immersed in the current affairs of the day. Four nights per week he is seen in frank discussion as he co-hosts, The Late Debate for Sky News. A practicing Christian, James explains why he follows Jesus and gives some frank and honest opinions on Reaching this Crazy World.
In his book, Notes from Woktopia, James refers to a female patron of Korea Town’s Wi Spa in Los Angeles. She was shocked to find a naked man in the changeroom. After complaining to the staff, she was told the man had a right to be there as he identified as a woman. In true James MacPherson style, James points out the obvious and the ludicrous side of this scenario. One of the biggest challenges for the Church is to be an effective witness in today’s culture. James gives some concise insights and views on potential ways forward.
In this episode, James talks about the brewing tensions in this crazy world. He is not afraid to state the obvious and at the same time, discuss how the Bible informs culture. Christians need to have a clear understating of the times they live in and how they can respond. Showing love, kindness and respect must be the response. What love, kindness and respect look like is something James discusses in this interview. Sitting on the fence, giving ambiguous answers and being polite is not the way forward according to James. Truth will always be truth and it needs to be spoken if Reaching this Crazy World is a possibility.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Some blunt, well-informed answers about the gender debate.
- Why kindness is getting us nowhere. What is kindness?
- What the price is for not speaking truth?
- Why good people abandon common sense in this crazy world?
- The word penis discussed over and over.
- How to speak truth in a crazy world.
- The crazy transgender world and the challenges it presents.
- How to be loving and kind in a crazy world.
- A case study of a person with a penis in a women’s changeroom
- Why Seafolly used a man in a women’s swimsuit to advertise?
- How to have a Christian voice in a world that has gone mad?
- James Macpherson’s book Notes from Woketopia.
- Why falling out of relationship with people is not a bad thing.
- How to communicate the gospel knowing it is challenging.
- And so much more…

Tina Waldrom speaks with Doctor Kurt Fredrickson about The Church, Settled or Sent? The Bible paints a picture of a missionary God and His people sent into a world that needs Christ. Why then does the church settle and lose its influence in the world? Why does it live settled and not sent? Kurt Fredrickson is the current Associate Dean for Professional Doctoral Programs at Fuller Theological Seminary in California, USA. Before his role at Fuller, Kurt led his church from being settled to living sent. It was not an easy road. He shares the lessons learnt.
Kurt Fredrickson is in a unique position. Previously a church pastor, he now meets and journeys with hundreds of church leaders who pass through the doctoral programs at Fuller Seminary. He knows the current struggles that leaders face. He understands the complexities of the world the church is called to, and he is passionate about the church being salt and light in local contexts. As a practitioner, he made the hard calls. He made the changes to move his church from a place of comfort to a place of discomfort. And yes, people left the church and the budget suffered. But nevertheless, he and his church lived as a sent people.
In this episode, Kurt lays the biblical foundation for the people of God living as a sent people. He talks about an eternal, missionary God, and the implications for local congregations. He is kind enough to share his own shortcomings and graceful in sharing the wisdom learnt. He talks about the people who left his church. About the financial drop that his church experienced and the cost of calling the church to deeper discipleship. Kurt, in a very frank conversation, gives some great insights on how to move a church to a place of sentness.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Why the church should live sent and not settled.
- A working definition of settled and sent.
- What churches look like when they are settled.
- Why a church gets stuck and remains settled.
- How to move a church to a place of sentness.
- What the Bible says about settled versus sent.
- Why Kurt Fredrickson moved his church outward and the cost.
- How to move a congregation to look and move outward.
- Why the senior leader needs to model the sent life.
- The need for church staff to live life outside the church walls.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Ben McEachen about Evangelism as Touchpoints. Ben, a radio host with Hope 103.2 has seen lives touched through small interactions that accumulatively, have led people to faith. Ben views the thoughtful framing of conversations as an important ingredient to seeing people engage with the Christian worldview. Ben, originally sceptical of the affect that Christian radio could have on non-Christians has a new viewpoint. After hearing the stories of many listeners, his eyes are open to the power of touchpoints. The lessons learnt encourage believers to expect God to be at work in everyday moments.
Ben McEachen would not describe himself as an evangelist, but he is convinced that every believer should look to share their faith. The challenge for Ben, as it is for all believers, is to share faith in ways that cause others to listen and to see Christ. Ben does this effectively on the radio and in his personal life. He shares the very real struggles and thought processes when it comes to Evangelism as Touchpoints. He talks about the journey of people coming to faith and the need to be clear on what is communicated. Intentionality is very much a part of his message.
In this episode, Ben talks about the concept of touchpoints from both a positive and negative viewpoint. Viewing evangelism as touchpoints should not facilitate the mindset that more direct conversations are never needed. The concept of touchpoints is powerful but must be held in tension with God moving at any specific time and what He is requiring in that moment. The role of the Holy Spirit is something that Ben talks about in the episode. This is an inspiring episode. God can and will use everyone to reach the world for Christ.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- The place of touchpoints in leading people to Christ.
- Why Christian radio is helpful in people coming to faith.
- What touchpoints look like in a non-believer’s life.
- Why a softer approach to evangelism is more effective.
- The place of intentionality in everyday interactions with people.
- Stories of people coming to faith through Christian radio.
- Why Ben McEachen was originally sceptical of Christian radio.
- How a touchpoint approach to evangelism can be a scapegoat.
- Why the Holy Spirit needs free reign in evangelism.
- The power of sowing seeds in the lives of non-believers.
- And so much more…

Tina Waldrom speaks with Doctor James Choung about Why Revival Matters. James is the Vice President of Strategy & Innovation for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship / USA. Revival is a big topic and one that James has not always viewed positively. In his latest book, Longing for Revival, he explains his renewed hope in revival and why it's needed. James talks about being prepared for revival, experiencing revival and leading revival. The Asbury Revival in Kentucky broke out 7 days after James recorded this interview. A timely discussion about Why Revival Matters.
Through his ministry, James has seen more than 4000 students come to Christ. Revival means many things for different people; the word is understood in different ways. James and his co-author Ryan Pfeiffer came up with a definition of revival that could be helpful for the ‘most of us’. He unpacks that definition in this interview and shows how revival translates corporately and individually. James is confident that believers can be expectant of revival, they can experience it and they can lead it. And most interestingly, revival can be stopped.
In this episode, James talks about revival as a season of breakthroughs. He views these breakthroughs taking place in deed, word, and power. James refers to specific passages of scripture that demonstrate these breakthroughs. A new normal of Kingdom experience and fruitfulness is the result of breakthrough. Revival starts with revived people and all revivals start small. From smaller settings it flows outward and keeps going. Revival should flow from the heart of a believer or community to those who need Christ most. People lit up by revival often lead others to Christ. This is an inspiring episode that gives a broader and clearer understating of what revival is and Why Revival Matters.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How the word revival has been misused and what it does mean.
- A new definition of revival.
- How revival happens and what to do when it arrives.
- The place of prayer in revival.
- Stories of people being revived and touching the world.
- What the Bible says about revival.
- An overview of the book, Longing for Revival.
- Why revivals are stopped and how to fix that.
- New information on leading revivals.
- How revivals have changed the world and who lead them.

In this episode, Easy Evangelism with Tina Waldrom, Tina teaches on evangelism and how it can be easy. Over many years of both engaging in the work of outreach and studying the ministry of evangelism, Tina has discovered some keys that make evangelism easier. In this episode, Tina presents different perspectives on evangelism and how they make the work easier or harder. Bible passages are discussed, and practical examples given. This is solid biblical teaching with everyday examples.
Many people go about the work of evangelism with a mindset that ultimately makes the work harder. Their perspective is incorrect. People exploring and coming to faith is the work of the Holy Spirit. It is only God who can turn the hearts of people. It is only Him who soften hearts and open doors for His word to enter. Yet often when evangelism is discussed, it reveals an underlying belief that God is not ultimately the one doing the work. That ultimately, God is not the one who is responsible to do the softening, the door opening and the saving. It’s often a subtle difference but one that makes all the difference.
In this episode, Tina teaches about varying perspectives and asks the listener to locate themselves within a perspective. She talks about the concept of sentness and joining God in His work. Tina looks to the Bible to see what it says and how it shows a way, where evangelism is easy. The underlying thoughts that Tina encourages people to adopt, facilitate Easy Evangelism. This is an insightful and helpful episode for anyone who is wanting to engage in evangelism with greater ease.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How evangelism can be easy.
- The correct mindset to facilitate easy evangelism.
- How your perspective influences your outreach.
- Ways to do evangelism without pushing.
- Why evangelism is often difficult.
- How to let go and let God lead in evangelism.

This summer in Australia, we are showcasing the top 5 episodes listened to in 2022. This is #5.
Tina Waldrom talks with Chris Friend about The Gospel and Disability. Chris is the CEO of Collective Hope Community Services in Perth, Western Australia. Chris never imagined that his life, and the life of the churches he leads, would minister in this direction. Seeking to meet the needs of the local community, the heart of Jesus led him, and his team to spaces of disability. He talks openly about the cost of following Christ into this area and the great joy of seeing restoration in Jesus’ name.
Chris Friend is local pastor who has planted a number of churches. He is also the national leader for IPHC Ministries. In 2014, a group of people from his church, Collective Hope, recognised the issue of homelessness in their area. An initial home was set up to minister to the need, and further homes developed from there. Mental health disabilities became apparent among those they were ministering to and as a response, Collective Hope Disability Services was set up. Today, there is a host of services that are offered, meeting the community needs. CHDS is now an accredited NDIS provider in Perth, bringing hope and life to many.
In this episode, Chris talks about the way Christians should view disability and the role the church can play. He talks passionately about the ‘proclamation’ of the gospel and the ‘doing’ of the gospel. He sees them both as different sides of the one coin. One cannot exist without the other. Chris discusses the need for people to see and experience Christ, not just hear about Him. His contention is that Aussies need to see how Jesus can be the answer to their problem. People need to see how the good news can help them not merely hear about it.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How Christians can minister to those with disability.
- What the Bible says about the gospel and disability.
- How the Collective Hope Disability Services came about.
- The story of a local pastor developing an effective community service.
- The starting point for churches to develop a community service.
- Stories of people finding Christ as they see Him in the lives of believers.
- How Isaiah 58 informs discussion on, The Gospel and Disability.
- Principles for Kingdom transformation in communities.
- Why a long-term approach to discipleship is necessary with community outreach.
- What Amos Yong, Henry Nouwen and Tim Keller have to say about the gospel, disability and reaching cities for Christ.
- And so much more…

In this episode, Tina talks refreshingly about the power of evangelism planning and presents a way forward that is achievable for everyone.
Many people have an idea or desire to outwork the Great Commission. Christians, in general want to ‘go and make disciples.’ Often the issue is not the desire or the motivation but the lack of a straightforward plan. This plan could be formal or more organic, either way, it’s been given thought. Tina shares some key ideas to help believers craft an evangelism proposal that is simple yet effective. She presents a step-by-step way for evangelism planning. This type of planning will be advantageous for individuals, groups, or church leaders.
In this episode, Tina talks about the need to plan for evangelism and why it’s important. She talks about the necessity to understand a specific direction to head in outreach. The field of evangelism is large, narrowing it down helps for better planning. Tina encourages people to reflect on their own evangelism journey and to understand what the Holy Spirit is revealing through that. Walking through a step-by-step process for evangelism planning is one way to engage with the Great Commission. This is an insightful and helpful episode for anyone who is wondering how to achieve their desires in outreach.

How I Reached My Neighbourhood with Bree Mills, is an extraordinary listen. In this podcast episode, Tina Waldrom speaks with Bree about what she did to bring the good news to her local community. Bree shares the extraordinary dream she had, and how that was the catalyst for change in her outward focused life. Bree is passionate about Christ being seen in the community and although she has some invaluable methods of achieving that, the starting point is not a program. She shares her own personal journey of taking Jesus to the community. The lessons learnt and insights she gained are helpful for all Christian believers.
Not everyone is going to walk into a traditional form of church. Not everyone is going to fit into an existing model of church. Like trying to fit square pegs into round holes, not everyone is going to become a disciple of Christ in the ways often imagined. New ways, new forms of church are needed for many. Bree, who thoroughly understands the concept of micro church, unpacks her personal insights and pathway to revealing Christ in her own local area.
In this episode, Bree shares her background in church work and the journey she has been on to exploring different ways of making disciples. She talks about a tailored community approach and what’s important when bringing the gospel. Bree talks openly about the challenges she has faced and shares the insights, that are now helping others share Jesus locally. A genuine love for the local community is the starting point for Bree. She gives some wonderful examples of this and how love looks practically, in a community. Always conscious to not become programmatic in an approach, Bree reminds people to keep taking it back to the basics of loving God and loving people. This is a wonderful interview, with many fresh concepts and ideas to think through.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- The dream from heaven that changed Bree’s outlook.
- Why churches need to consider new ways of church.
- How to disciple people if they never come to traditional church?
- Examples of Bree hearing God and moving into the neighbourhood.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Tracy Lauersen about Sharing Jesus When Your Health is Failing. Tracy is the minister at Warragul Anglican Church in Victoria. She had her own brush with cancer. “Don’t waste your cancer”, was the approach that Tracy took after reading some literature by John Piper. Tracy talks about the change of mindset she embraced and how this helped her reach people for Christ. Today she is well and cancer free. Christian believers are called to share their faith in all situations but that can be difficult. Tracy shares the very real challenges of her health journey and how she approached this as a believer. Sharing Jesus When Your Health is Failing is something she unexpectantly mastered.
Like most people, Tracy did not expect to receive the news that she had cancer. She did not expect that part of her ministerial life, would take her on a journey of ill health. She had to reconcile her physical challenge with her Christian faith. By nature, Tracy is a private person. Having to be honest and open about her cancer did not come easy. She received great encouragement when she realised that God was not surprised by her predicament and that He could use it for the good.
In this episode, Tracy talks honestly about her very private journey. She shares the wonderful stories of other people’s lives being changed through her circumstance. Embracing the mindset, that God had for her at the time was the key. It was the key for her to move through her situation and the key for others to hear about Christ. The stories are inspirational. They show a God who is at work through all parts of the Christian life. They show a God who is on mission even through tough circumstances. They reveal the power of the Holy Spirit to bring healing to others even when our own healing is needed. For anyone whose health is failing, this is an episode that can help and inspire you forward.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How to share Jesus even when your health is failing.
- An evangelistic mindset to embrace during ill health.
- How compartmentalising your faith can trip you up.
- How Tracy Lauersen was able to share Jesus through her cancer.
- Examples of God at work through chemotherapy.
- What to do to receive opportunities to share your faith?
- The place of prayer when sharing Jesus during hard times.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Jo Hood to explore the question, Is Friendship Evangelism Dead? Jo is the visionary CEO of mainly Ministries. mainly Ministries have thirty plus years’ experience helping churches with community engagement. Genuine friendships between believers and the community are key when it comes to Jesus being revealed. The concept of friendship, what that means and how friendship is developed needs a fresh approach. Is Friendship Evangelism Dead? With Jo’s definition, maybe it is.
Jo Hood heard all about friendship evangelism as she grew up in church. It was talked about with a high level of intentionality. The goal was to befriend people with the intent of sharing the gospel. At the time, this approach to evangelism was exciting and new. Thousands of people have shared their faith this way over the years. However, taking a deeper look at this approach, Jo feels that through her experience, there are some inherent pitfalls with the methodology.
In this episode, Jo talks about the solutions that mainly Ministries offer and how evangelism is connected. Over the thirty plus years of involvement, the Holy Spirit has revealed to Jo some best practices when it comes to Jesus being revealed. Jo shares the ethos that sits behind the community engagement work that she is recommending. She explains why friendship evangelism is dead and a better way forward to seeing Christ revealed.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Wez Hone about Business and Sharing Jesus. Wez is the Founder at Kingdom Business Global and Business GreenHouse. He has always been an entrepreneur but has not always been a Christian. In the early years and after moderate success in business, Wez felt a void. There was a level of unfulfillment that was not being addressed. When Wez unexpectedly met Jesus, the void was filled, and his view of business changed dramatically. Today, as a very successful businessman, it’s all about making disciples. He sees Business and Sharing Jesus as two sides of the same coin.
Wez can remember the moment he was invited to church. At that time, his understanding of church and Christianity was very limited. The feelings he experienced as he stepped into this new space, were overwhelmingly good. It sent him on a path to explore who Jesus was and he found Christ in an unstructured, organic way. It was a critical moment in his life and business. The Lord began to show Wez what kingdom business was and how to go about it.
In this episode, Wez talks about his lifetime desire to do business and how it looks today. He talks about his personal shift to becoming a kingdom business and what that means for him. As a Christian who happens to be in business, he employs many people who are not Christ followers yet. He shares his thoughts on running a business that is both profitable and making disciples. The lessons he shares in this episode are invaluable for the Christian community.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Wez Hone’s challenging, success story to kingdom business.
- Why businesses need to be about discipleship.
- How to share Jesus through business.
- The place of faith in the workplace.
- Stories of people in the workplace exploring faith.
- A model of Christian business and employing people.
- Information about the Kingdom Business Podcast
- The place of non-Christians in a kingdom business.
- How to share Jesus in your business in natural ways.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Rachel Dunwell about Why Social Justice Matters. As a young person, Rachel experienced the negative effects that exploitation, control and abuse can have. The freedom that Christ intends for all, is something that Rachel is now very passionate about. Rachel has always had a sense of ‘calling’. Calling to somehow serve nations. Looking backwards, the fingerprints of God are obvious. Through many ministry appointments, she has been equipped to know Why Social Justice Matters.
Today Rachel works for Destiny Rescue in Australia. Her role is to ensure that children can experience freedom. Freedom from exploitation, control and abuse. The way that Rachel unpacks her journey, how she explains, Why Social Justice Matters, is more than motivational. Her lived experiences, coupled with Godly insights and wisdom, are helping many understand that social justice matters. She is constantly creating opportunities for others to be involved in social justice.
In this episode, Rachel talks about her own journey. A lifelong journey to understand more fully, the heart of God for the marginalised and the oppressed. She has not always worked in the social justice space, but it seems that her destiny was always this. She has always cared, and she has always loved others.

Don’t Convert People to Christianity or the Church. Tina Waldrom speaks with Darryn Keneally whose conversion experience and subsequent life of following Christ, has led him to a clear focus about sharing the person of Jesus. Darryn, who has an Order of Australia for his youth work, is today a business consultant and charity director. He realises the challenges for the Church and Christianity in the West. He spends his life focusing on the person of Jesus, Him being seen and experienced.
Darryn as a young person was homeless by choice. Today, he is passionate about people finding out about the meaning, purpose and significance of a friendship with Jesus. As a teenager, Jesus changed his life in extraordinary ways. As he reflects on his own journey, he is often reminded to keep the focus on Jesus and not Christianity or the Church. Research shows that Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian faith, is still a highly regarded historical figure. On the other hand, the words church and Christianity often conjure up negative perceptions.
In this episode, Darryn shares his story of hopelessness to hope. He is not ashamed of the church and in fact, is an avid church goer. He shares his story of how the church community influenced his life and helped him rehabilitate from addiction and crime. Church today, however, has a certain negative meaning to many. Christianity today, also has a damaging reputation. Darryn encourages people to embrace these realities but offers some thoughts on how Jesus can still be lifted high in this environment.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How Jesus not Christianity changed Darry Keneally’s life.
- Why trying to attract people to attend church can be difficult.
- What Australians think of Jesus and the implications.
- How Christian community helps in the discipleship process.
- Why being Christ to others should be top priority.
- The experiences that have led people to dislike Christianity.
- Real life stories of people being attracted to the person of Jesus.
- An appreciation for church and Christianity but …
- The power of understanding the times we live in.
- Why believers must know how to share Jesus personally.
- And so much more…

Tina Waldrom speaks with Graham Bradbeer about The Evangelism Tension in Chaplaincy. Graham is an expert in this field. He worked for more than 30 years in a prominent boys school in Australia. The opportunities were great but equally was the need to be wise with how the Gospel was both heard and seen. Wisdom to manage the often-felt tension when representing Christ through Chaplaincy is what Graham did best. His reflections and learnings from decades of experience are invaluable.
It was Graham’s great joy to have been involved in the lives of almost 1000 students each week. Representing Christ well was the challenge. Graham was conscience of not inoculating people from the Gospel, and so took a certain approach to his work. Going about his work with a long-term approach helped Graham take steps in chaplaincy that were measured and wise. Caring and loving others was a privilege that Christ had given him. He never wanted to abuse the access he had been given to people’s lives but simply wanted to represent Christ well in the setting.
In this episode, Graham reveals the heart behind his service. The importance of downward mobility to serve others is a hall mark of his story. A genuine love and care for both students and staff are so evident in Graham’s approach. Each week and three times per week, Graham had the opportunity to say something about Christ to hundreds of students and to the listening ears of school staff. Graham shares some of the processes he went through to decide on what to say and what not to say. He talks about the bigger picture of what he was trying to achieve. The Evangelism Tension in Chaplaincy was something Graham embraced and learnt to do well. The lessons he shares are helpful for everyone bringing the Gospel to others.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Wisdom from 30 years of chaplaincy experience.
- How to manage the evangelism tension in chaplaincy.
- What pure and good deeds look like in chaplaincy.
- How downward mobility is the best model for chaplaincy.
- The place of declaration versus good deeds in evangelism.
- Why integrity with people trumps everything in outreach.
- Thought-provoking comments on the role of a Chaplain.
- How to not abuse the access that Chaplains are given.
- The Power of recognising the place of others in the caring chain.
- How to stay connected to Graham Bradbeer.
- And so much more…

Tina Waldrom speaks with Rodney Olsen on the topic that Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System. Rodney, host of the Bleeding Daylight podcast, has interviewed some extraordinary people that illustrate this truth. He shares some of their wisdom. Sharing Jesus is more than being armed with the correct theology and ready to defend the faith at any time. Whilst this may be appropriate, it’s not the ideal way to share Jesus. Rodney shares some challenging thoughts and encourages believers that, Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System.
The story of the Samaritan woman at the well, is the perfect example that evangelism is more than selling a belief system. In this story, Jesus is seen as someone who knows the woman deeply, shows genuine care and connects His message in a very personal way. In a way that will help her. The story illustrates a way of evangelism that is considerate, embracive, ready to listen and so much more. Rodney expands on this biblical story and others from the interviews he has conducted.
In this episode, Rodney talks about Bradley Hopp, the co-founder of Teshuah Tea Company and Neil Tomba, the Senior Pastor of Northwest Bible Church. The stories are remarkable with clear messages that will help Christians share Jesus better. Evangelism is something that everyone can engage with. In fact, Jesus in His last command to go and make disciples, clearly thought that everyone could participate. Rodney shares the stories that illustrate the very real potential for everyone to be involved in evangelism. To be involved in simple yet profound ways. Ways that show and demonstrate a real and living Christ. Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Why Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System.
- What evangelism is if it’s more than selling beliefs.
- Examples of people sharing Jesus, not selling a doctrine.
- What Bleeding Daylight is all about.
- The miracle story of God showing up to a brothel owner.
- How to share Jesus so people get it.
- Jesus’ style of evangelism: genuine concern and love.

Nataliya’s views on evangelism and people coming to faith have changed significantly. She shares her new insights for church leaders and believers alike.

Outside of their regular full-time employment, Nataliya and her husband Andrey have added this extra work to their busy schedules. The stories of provision, dignity being restored and hope offered are extraordinary. This story is a modern day, Mother Teresa type work, in our own backyard.

Nations can be reached, when leaders gather together to pray, think, share and resource one another.

It’s half year 2022, and the topic of The Salvation Army and Kim Haworth has been the second most popular episode. Maybe because Kim, an everyday mum, never expected to meet Jesus, let alone become a Divisional Commander. Maybe because she spoke about unexpected promptings from God and how to respond. Maybe because her new initiatives for outreach and mission resonate with so many. Or simply because she’s a woman, and as Tina Waldrom said jokingly, “women are always better to listen to”. Enjoy this episode, Mid-Year Highlights #2 An Unexpected Salvo in Tasmania
In this second most popular Mid-Year episode, Tina Waldrom talks with Kim Haworth who is an Unexpected Salvo in Tasmania. Kim is living the most unexpected life as a Divisional Commander, a State Leader with the Salvation Army. She never thought God was knowable. She never thought she would end up, as a captain in the Salvation Army. She is encouraging new initiatives to reach people for Christ. Alongside existing models of outreach, new organic faith expressions are springing up. The OFE network is a part of Kim’s focus to see revival in Tasmania.
After Kim’s initial encounter with Christ, she sensed a call from God to be involved in church work. It took some time for the Lord to convince her. It took some time for Kim to give her all to this. Her story is down to earth and very warm. It shows the extraordinary things the Lord can do, through someone who says ‘yes’ to the His promptings. It demonstrates the power of a surrendered life in the hands of a God who is on mission to reach the world.
In this episode, Kim talks about the challenges of handling the unexpected promptings of the Lord. From her experience, she concluded that it’s better to give up and just say yes to Jesus. The joy of following Him on the unexpected journey of faith and outreach, far outweighs the challenges. Kim gives some wonderful spiritual advise and talks about the importance of new methods of outreach in Australia.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Kim’s story of nominal Christianity to a relationship with Christ.
- How a wife and mother end up as a State Leader with the Salvation Army.
- How to respond to God’s challenging promptings.
- Why fighting God is not the best way to go.
- How an invitation to church changed Kim’s life.
- Why new methods of evangelism are needed in Australia.
- The new OFE Network that is reaching people for Christ.
- How new methods can sit alongside existing methods of outreach.
- Where the OFE network sits among the ministries of the Salvation Army in Tasmania.
- And so much more…

Tina Waldrom talks with Joe Vettoor about Miracles & The Goodness of God, NOT Fear. Joe’s conviction is that the goodness of God, not fear, leads people to repentance. People need to know the love of God. Joe spent ten years door knocking and sharing Christ. He likens that time to ‘selling fire insurance’ to non-believers. Today, he majors on the love of God as he prays for healing on the streets in Western Australia. Joe shares his journey to becoming a witness for Christ that majors on the goodness of God for all of humanity. This is an inspiring story with great insights for healing and evangelism.
After watching people healed, Joe moved from knowing about Christ to personally knowing Him. With this revelation and heart change, he became passionate about sharing his faith. It was the love of the Father that grabbed Joe’s attention and he attributed the healings and miracles to that love. He became convinced that the love of the Father is what people needed to know and understand. He was invited to some evangelism training that equipped him to share his faith, walking from door to door. Although this was somewhat effective, Joe longed for a way to share his faith, that was more authentic and consistent with the declaration that, ‘God is good’. It was at this time, that he walked up to a man sitting under a tree in Western Australia. This moment changed everything for Joe. Today, the story is still unfolding as Joe sees people come to Christ through Miracles & The Goodness of God, NOT Fear.
In this episode, Joe talks about the differences between sharing your faith with a harsh edge to one that is more consistent with the message, that God is a good and loving Father. He talks about and demonstrates how he has been able to reveal the Fathers love to people by praying for healing. Miracles & The Goodness of God, NOT Fear is Joe’s message to a world that needs Christ.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Why a good God needs to be heard in the gospel message.
- The difference between fear based & grace-based evangelism.
- How to pray for people so the goodness of God is revealed.
- The need for a Loving Father to be declared and revealed.

Tina Waldrom talks with David Miles about Being Gospel Centred in our Mission. David is a church planter in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. He is on the leadership team of Soma Australia and is encouraging the formation of Gospel Communities to reach people for Christ. Gospel Communities focus on the centrality of the gospel, and its implications for life and mission. The use of the term gospel, rather than missional, provides some unique perspectives.
Serving others, loving others and having a specific mission are at the heart of what David talks about. Knowing Christ, living in community and living for others, are the heart of his message. David has planted a number of churches, his current plant being the most effective. Experience, wisdom and a partnership with Soma Australia, has given him new understandings to be more effective. David’s insights into the Australian community, how Jesus is best revealed and declared are very insightful.
In this episode, David gives the practical application to the underpinning theology and philosophy of Gospel Communities. He talks about the practical elements of his own Gospel Community, and what the church gathering looks like. He goes on, to give some ideas on how an existing church, may head in the direction of Gospel Communities.

Tina Waldrom talks with Adam Low about Relevant and Intercultural Mission. How do you reach secular society in relevant ways, with an intercultural approach? How do you see genuine conversions to Christ through the power of His gospel? Adam is the Chairperson of Propel Network and the Lead Pastor from Real Life Christian Church in South of Brisbane.
Propel Network is the formalization of what was a fairly informal gathering of leaders from across the more evangelical parts of the Uniting Church who would gather annually, but also just to encourage one another around common ground. The network is about conversion growth and church planting, with a focus on young leaders and confidence in the gospel of Jesus Christ, to transform lives and communities.
In this episode, Adam talks specifically about being relevant to the culture today. He goes on to discuss the importance of an intercultural, not multicultural viewpoint. Australia has moved on; we live in a post Christian age. When we leave our homes, go to work, go to the shops, or out to play sport, we have to acknowledge that we are missionaries, in a foreign land. When we consider the many cultures, the approach needs to be one of engagement, learning from each other. Not merely, many cultures, living and learning independently. Adam’s insights for effective outreach and evangelism are valuable for all believers.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- Why churches need to take a different approach to reaching communities.
- How to be relevant in sharing your faith today. Watch Video.
- Stories of faith being communicated in uncompromising ways.
- The need to rely on the gospel to bring transformation to others.

Tina Waldrom talks with Chris Friend about The Gospel and Disability. Chris is the CEO of Collective Hope Community Services in Perth, Western Australia. Chris never imagined that his life, and the life of the churches he leads, would minister in this direction. Seeking to meet the needs of the local community, the heart of Jesus led him, and his team to spaces of disability. He talks openly about the cost of following Christ into this area and the great joy of seeing restoration in Jesus’ name.
Chris Friend is local pastor who has planted a number of churches. He is also the national leader for IPHC Ministries. In 2014, a group of people from his church, Collective Hope, recognised the issue of homelessness in their area. An initial home was set up to minister to the need, and further homes developed from there. Mental health disabilities became apparent among those they were ministering to and as a response, Collective Hope Disability Services was set up. Today, there is a host of services that are offered, meeting the community needs. CHDS is now an accredited NDIS provider in Perth, bringing hope and life to many.
In this episode, Chris talks about the way Christians should view disability and the role the church can play. He talks passionately about the ‘proclamation’ of the gospel and the ‘doing’ of the gospel. He sees them both as different sides of the one coin. One cannot exist without the other. Chris discusses the need for people to see and experience Christ, not just hear about Him. His contention is that Aussies need to see how Jesus can be the answer to their problem. People need to see how the good news can help them not merely hear about it.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How Christians can minister to those with disability.
- What the Bible says about the gospel and disability.
- How the Collective Hope Disability Services came about.
- The story of a local pastor developing an effective community service.
- The starting point for churches to develop a community service.
- Stories of people finding Christ as they see Him in the lives of believers.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Mike Wardrop about A New Era for Church & Evangelism. Mike and his wife Jen, are lead pastors at Encounter Church in Adelaide, South Australia. Mike and Jen also the co-host the podcast, Read the Room. Mike planted Encounter Church, with a particular methodology in mind. After Covid hit, he knew that a new approach to church and evangelism was needed. Mike talks honestly about the challenges the churches now face. He believes we have entered a New Era for Church & Evangelism.
Looking back, the church seems to move through seasons that have a particular emphasis to reach the world for Christ. Mike and Tina talk over the season that was often referred to as the, “Seeker” times. The emphasis was on making the church message relevant to those who would attend church services, and so much more. That season was superseded in many ways by what was, and still is, referred to as the “Missional” movement or approach. There was, among other things, a focus to take the church outside of the church building and to society. Mike feels that Covid, has now ushered in a new approach. This approach, a discipleship approach is the best way forward for the church post-Covid.
Mike’s contention, along with others at this time in church history, is that the everyday person needs to be discipled well. Discipled in such a way, that believers would easily and naturally reach out and disciple the world around them. In this episode, Mike discusses the seasons we have been through and the reasons why a discipleship approach to church and evangelism is the best way forward. He discusses what this means and how this can be implemented. It’s a fascinating discussion.

- A new way to approach church & evangelism post Covid.
- The need for a discipleship culture to reach a world for Christ.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Kim Haworth who is an Unexpected Salvo in Tasmania. Kim is living the most unexpected life as a Divisional Commander, a State Leader with the Salvation Army. She never thought God was knowable. She never thought she would end up, as a captain in the Salvation Army. She is encouraging new initiatives to reach people for Christ. Alongside existing models of outreach, new organic faith expressions are springing up. The OFE network is a part of Kim’s focus to see revival in Tasmania.
After Kim’s initial encounter with Christ, she sensed a call from God to be involved in church work. It took some time for the Lord to convince her. It took some time for Kim to give her all to this. Her story is down to earth and very warm. It shows the extraordinary things the Lord can do, through someone who says ‘yes’ to the His promptings. It demonstrates the power of a surrendered life in the hands of a God who is on mission to reach the world.
In this episode, Kim talks about the challenges of handling the unexpected promptings of the Lord. From her experience, she concluded that it’s better to give up and just say yes to Jesus. The joy of following Him on the unexpected journey of faith and outreach, far outweighs the challenges.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Nic Mackay about How to Measure the Community Impact of Churches. Why even bother? Nic, the National Director of NAYBA Australia, talks about the valuable work that churches do, but highlights the need to strategically verify those contributions. Support from local government is one potential outcome of a better reporting system. Churches are often good at telling the stories, however further information is needed. Nic shares the stories of churches in regions, who have successfully audited their community work. He talks about the doors of opportunity that this has created.
NAYBA provides churches with practical help and resources to equip them to better love their neighbours and transform their neighbourhoods. One of the resources that they provide is the Impact Audit. Through the NAYBA Impact Audit they help to measure the social impact value of the Church in community – putting numbers to the stories of how local churches are serving those in need, and opening doors to government and other sectors.
In this episode, Nic refers to audits in both Frankston, Victoria and Illawarra, NSW. These reports give a better understanding of what data can be discovered in an Impact Audit and how it can be used beneficially for the gospel. Gaining a community wide perspective on what churches are contributing to a community is a powerful tool in a number of ways.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How the collective contribution of churches can be quantified?
- The doors that can be opened through rigorous reporting.
- The role of NAYBA in helping churches understand their effectiveness in the community.
- How to report so local government can assess and support the church.
- What to ask when measuring community impact?

Tina Waldrom interviews Doctor C. Thomas Perry about his death experience and how he went to heaven. Colin had a dramatic encounter with Jesus after dying in an ambulance. Dying to Be Alive – Sharing Death Encounters is a fascinating listen. His story has touched the lives of many non-believers. The story he tells is extraordinary, thought provoking and inspiring. Many people have encounters with God. The challenge is to share these encounters in ways that connect.
Doctor C. Thomas Perry took years before he published his book on this encounter, Dying To be Alive. In this interview, he is very candid about the reasons behind the delay. It’s refreshing to hear a Christian be honest and open about the very real struggles of going through such an encounter with God. And the struggle of letting others know in a way that is helpful. Dying To Be Alive – Sharing Death Encounters is a must listen.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- The whole story of Doctor C. Thomas Perry and his death experience.
- An understanding of the spiritual dimension from one man’s major encounter.

This summer in Australia, we are showcasing the top 5 episodes listened to in 2021. This is #2.
Tina Waldrom speaks with Australian actor Nathan Wilson who said No to Hollywood and Yes to Jesus. Just as Nathan was about to make the ‘big time’, God broke into his world. As long as Nathan can remember, acting was the goal, Hollywood was the dream. What Nathan didn’t realise, was that the stories he would be offered to tell were not the narrative that God preferred him to tell. Today, through his work with Young Life Australia, he is passionate about people knowing Christ’s story.
Nathan shares his journey from a potential lucrative contract, to a life of greater purpose and meaning. After an extraordinary turn of events, Nathan returns from Hollywood, his dream, to his hometown in Queensland, Australia. God takes him on a year of transition where he begins to discover the future scripts that Jesus would have him be a part of. The lessons he shares about placing God first and sharing the gospel are challenging.
In this episode, Nathan is refreshingly honest about the Christian life and the challenges to not only profess Christ as Lord, but to live with Christ as Lord. Living a life where others encounter Jesus, a life in the service of others is Nathan’s pursuit. The satisfaction of sharing Christ through Young Life, far outweighs the satisfaction of what was on offer from Hollywood. Nathan talks about the difficulty he would have had following Christ, if he had said yes to Hollywood. His story of God interrupting his plans and challenging him to pursue another direction is thought-provoking to everyone who professes Christ.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- What God did to get the attention of Actor Nathan Wilson.
- The stories we tell ourselves to ultimately not put God first?
- How satisfaction is found in following Christ and telling His story.
- The story of secular school staff recognising Christ without a word mentioned.
- How to reach young people today and what’s important.
- Why sharing Christ should be our number one priority?
- How to share Jesus in ways that are incarnational and missional
- The power of ‘presence’ in evangelism.
- The importance of being Jesus in a culture that needs to see Him.
- How the Bible informed Nathan about his pursuit of money and fame.
- Watch a short video with Nathan and Tina regarding this episode.
- The story of Nathan's Hollywood wife and her witness in the industry.

Tina Waldrom chats with Glyn Henman about Knowing Your Audience in Evangelism. Glyn is the CEO of Young Life Australia and has seen significant shifts in his audience, young people, over time. The ways to share Christ today, have changed significantly from when he started working with youth. Knowing the audience well, who you are trying to share the gospel with, has become a key for Glyn and his staff at Young Life Australia. The stories and principles that he shares, are both challenging and encouraging. Knowing Your Audience in Evangelism is a key consideration when sharing the gospel.

At times, it is easier to continue to share Christianity in ways that are comfortable and known, however, it is not always the most effective. Staying open to new ideas and the leading of the Holy Spirit, has been paramount for Glyn, as his audience has changed over the past thirty years.
In this episode, Glyn draws on his experience of working with young people to encourage and equip everyday believers to think more specifically about the people you engage with for Christ.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Cam Butler from Urban Revs. In 1998, Cam left the church to be the church. Cam loves the church and was happily employed as a local pastor when he felt compelled to leave his position. He had an overwhelming desire to take the Kingdom of God to the community in new and relevant ways.
The Lord sent Cam on mission where he became the chaplain to the Melbourne Demons, an Australian Rules Football team. The stories he shares in this episode are enlightening and encouraging. From there he became the National Director for what is now Sports Chaplaincy Australia. He is currently heading the work of Urban Revs in Australia, training the church to take the Kingdom of God to the community in fresh and exciting ways.
The many years of experience that Cam has taking the Kingdom to the community are invaluable. His insights and wisdom are now being used to mobilise many churches to take the gospel outside the four walls of the church. His ideas are being implemented by many including Gary Rucci in Queensland. Cam has some very clear and practical tips to help churches and everyday believers be effective in this space.

Tina Waldrom speaks with Aussie evangelist Sam Chan about, How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy). Sam, from City Bible Forum, is a medical doctor as well as a recognised evangelist, speaking regularly to high school students, city workers, doctors, and lawyers. Sam has a unique ability to understand ‘how’ evangelism needs to look in current times. There is a way to share Jesus that is ineffective and off-putting for many Australians. Sam gives some wonderful insights to help people NOT become ‘that guy’. His book on this topic is a wonderful read.
Sam came to Australia, with his family as a young child. He was born in Hong Kong. In Sydney, he watched his parents consistently connect with neighbours, encouraging them to follow Jesus. He was surrounded by outreach as a child. Decades have passed and Sam has become a specialist in the field of mission and evangelism. He has recognised the enormous changes in Australia and the necessity to do evangelism differently. He makes an important distinction when mentioning the difference between a gospel that is presented as a monologue and one that is a dialogue. He goes on to show how the former is a methodology of the past, that has little place, particularly in personal evangelism.
In this episode, Sam shares many personal stories to illustrate the current challenges of personal evangelism and how to overcome those. He rightfully points out the pre-Christian culture we live among, and how to best engage with the gospel. When church and Christianity have a different meaning to society than it does to the Christian, new methods need to be explored. New language needs to be considered. Sam shares some thoughts on navigating this space effectively.
In this podcast episode, you will discover…
- How to Talk About Jesus Without Being That Guy.
- What ‘That Guy’ looks like and how to change?
- Why just mentioning ‘church’ can be detrimental these days.
- How to reach a pre-Christian culture.
- Why evangelism methods of the past are becoming so ineffective?
- How to avoid awkward, gear crunching moments when sharing Jesus.
- The power of the second question in evangelism.
- The importance of being Jesus in a culture that needs to see Him.

Tina Waldrom speaks with evangelism coach and mentor, Caroline Spencer about overcoming anxiety in evangelism. Caroline has worked as an evangelist for City Bible Forum for the past 14 years. She is an outstanding trainer who understands anxiety in relationship to the work of outreach. Anxiety can be reduced with a little bit of preparation. Caroline shares some profound truths on what to be prepared for in conversations, and how to share Jesus during those times. Her focus on the person of Christ and what to say about Him is refreshing and insightful.
Caroline begins this interview by talking about relational equity with people, and how the job of evangelism becomes tricky when close relationships are involved. Going about conversations, in a manner that honours both God and others is a major focus. How to share Jesus in conversations that are going both well, and not so well are discussed.

People, over time, feel safe and comfortable to talk to Graham and his team of shopping centre chaplains. Gospel seeds and hope are encountering the lives of everyday Aussie each week, it’s a wonderful story.

Kellie is involved in the area of providing food relief through her local church, Manningham Christian Centre.

There must be a line of integrity, one that realises that all of humanity are made in the image of God and each person has inherent worth. They are loved by God, and deserve food security. Kellie’s role begun as a volunteer and has now developed into a paid position. That story alone is testament to God’s provision in so many ways.

A few years ago, he started what is known as Park Ridge Connect. It is an extraordinary ministry that interfaces the community.

Josh has a Masters of Education and worked in a boarding school in Melbourne, Australia before taking the role overseas. The boarding school he worked in was filled with young people from the wealthiest families. Taking the gospel to this setting was a challenge.

Working with the sons and daughters of politicians, global leaders and societies ‘finest’ was an unforgettable experience. Bringing the good news, sharing faith to the kids of the wealthiest in the world was a great assignment from Jesus. Before heading to the lucrative school, the Lord has shown Josh many keys that certainly set him up to minister effectively to this elite sub-culture.

Kim Hammond is a recognised evangelist with a passion for church planting. His response to the great commission is “Go plant a church”. He is the church planting champion at CityLife Church and leads a site. He is the former International Director of Forge, served on the staff at Community Christian Church (USA) and is involved with New Thing, a church planting movement.
Kim grew up in Melbourne Australia, served as a youth pastor for many years and planted a church as a young man. His passion is to see the gospel influence communities.
