Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

471 Deep and warm: how to make every Sunday feel like the gospel we preach (Part 1 of 2) (Toby Neal and Liv Chapman Leggett)
Q: What do you mean by deep and warm? And what happens if you've missed one or the other?
Toby Neal describes depth as a gathering shaped by substantial gospel truth, and warmth as expressing the grace, welcome, joy and sincerity of the gospel. Both are needed in the church's engagement with God and with one another.
471 Deep and warm: how to make every Sunday feel like the gospel we preach (Part 1 of 2) (Toby Neal and Liv Chapman Leggett)
Q: When you think about a Sunday gathering, what do you think the core purpose is in the church community?
Liv Chapman Leggett says Colossians 3 provides a blueprint: God ministers to his people through his word, they minister that word to one another, and they respond to God with thanksgiving. The gathering also gives outsiders an opportunity to encounter the living God.
470 Old man vs young man in planting (Tim Baldwin)
Q: What are the key differences in preaching between younger and older planters?
Younger planters often start with fresh material and need to build a sermon bank, while older planters leverage a library of studied sermons and can repurpose material more efficiently without sacrificing quality.
470 Old man vs young man in planting (Tim Baldwin)
Q: What is the story behind Anchor Coffs Harbour and how does it differ from the EV planting 20 years earlier?
Tim explains that the Anchor plant was independent and required building governance, admin, and leadership from scratch, unlike EV which operated under an umbrella and shared structure, making the early years more about core group development.
468 Disagreement done right - how to deal with tension (Tim Dyer)
Q: What is the one takeaway Tim wanted ministry leaders to remember?
Relational repair comes before resolving substantive issues; distinguish the differences from the behavior, and invest in rebuilding trust through predictable, godly conduct.

Frequently Asked Questions About The One Thing

What is The One Thing about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Compact, practical takes on gospel-centered ministry delivered in short 15-minute episodes. The show often centers on church growth, newcomer onboarding, member engagement, and practical operational tips for Australian churches, with a steady stream of guest experts and church leaders sharing actionable frameworks. A standout trait is its tight focus and Australian context, making it easy for busy church leaders to extract one concrete takeaway per week. Noteworthy is the recurring emphasis on scalable systems (membership pathways, space planning, volunteer culture) and theology grounded in everyday church practice, which can be appealing to listeners looking for implementable ideas rather than theory alone.
