Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Parachute Church Planting (with Mark Selby)
Q: What was it like to grow from a living-room gathering to a village church?
The hosts discuss early growth through community involvement, rapid engagement with village activities, and turning a small group into a larger gathering while maintaining family-like cohesion and shared meals.
Parachute Church Planting (with Mark Selby)
Q: So Mark, how was it you started at that stage?
Mark describes moving to Hilton, forming a tiny core with his fellow elder and their families, and deciding to plant a church there after initial groundwork, with prayerful backing from Derby churches, a small kids program, and the commitment to be self-supporting.
The Power of Testimony in Evangelism (with Karl Faase)
Q: What is Encounter, and how does it differ from traditional apologetics?
Encounter focuses on Bible reading and real-world encounters with Jesus, using contemporary stories that parallel biblical accounts, to show how faith affects people today. It's gospel-centered but less about argument and more about lived transformation.
The Power of Testimony in Evangelism (with Karl Faase)
Q: Tell us a little about your background and how you came into Christian media ministry.
Karl describes a long arc from local church ministry in Sydney to founding media initiatives aimed at serving churches, emphasizing practical, low-cost, high-quality resources designed for standalone use. He highlights his desire to equip churches to tell compelling stories that lead to spiritual encounters.
Ignoring Abuse, Racist Social Media Posts, and Foolish Vows // In the News
Q: How often should leaders be apologising, do you think?
