  • Encouraging & Equipping

    My goodness, where to begin?! These interviews have been so encouraging, they’ve stirred up my imagination, have raised amazing questions and has equipped me for pastoral leadership in the digital and COVID age.

    The episode with Gordon Smith on ecclesiology and vocation is worth following this channel all on its own (but I encourage you, don’t stop there!). So good! Well done everyone!
