The preparedness to “leave” and to be “hated”—even by your own father—is at the heart of what it means to be a disciple. And those who obey that call will end up gaining far more than they have ever lost.
In a culture that often equates power with position, I’ve come to see that real strength often lies in partnership. I’ve witnessed the beauty of shared mission: men and women working together, not as competitors but as teammates.
We recognise the need to promote a culture and habit of cooperation and mutually supportive and prayerful fellowship among those engaged in gospel ministry across Australia. Our churches and ministries are influenced by tribalism, and, at times, competition.
Beilharz’s deep commitment to children and the local church unifies the book. He imagines a rich and hopeful vision for what the church and family could be under Jesus. Church is for us.
Worry has a way of swirling through our minds. It clouds our view of God’s sovereignty and leaves us feeling like we’re carrying everything alone. But we’re not meant to.
‘Child’ was written on a trying day in the depths of the pandemic. As an effort to recite God’s words of comfort to myself, it felt like a lullaby from our Father to his children. And an invitation to trust him with each moment, little by little.
If Christian leaders are humble enough to listen to Gregoire’s critique, revisit the ways we talk about sex and reassess the books we recommend, then we may find that a lot less Christian sex will need rescuing.

The old saying is ‘A rising tide lifts all boats.’ But could the spark of storytelling, and celebrating faith increase evangelism in churches and on university campuses everywhere?
Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants agree on what that Creed teaches about the nature of the Triune God. If we all agree that the nature of God himself has primacy in Christian belief, do other disagreements really matter?
The widespread implementation of hybrid learning has made a much larger proportion of school-leavers think and act like mature-age students. The university campus is not a central ‘third place’ for them; being a student is not central to their identity; they are not necessarily living a ‘university lifestyle’.
As a critical history or a guide for contemporary evangelism, the book is lacking. But as a historical chronicle of an extraordinary time in Australian evangelical history this work is very valuable.
First, Mikey discusses general principles with Greg about congregational songwriting, personal songwriting and the place of art and beauty in the Christian life. Second, Greg breaks down the composition and recording of one song—‘The Same God’—in detail.
The song’s lyrics are substantially drawn from the book of Romans, beginning as Paul does with the plight of humanity and then moving to the good news that Christ took our condemnation upon himself (Rom 8:3) so that we could be redeemed and set free from sin.

The song was written to be sung at a local women’s conference earlier this year. The conference was focused on the book of John, which inspired the lyrics.
