Many couples experience marriage burnout because of pressures and daily aggravations. Encouragingly, some people make the vital investment in counselling where both are willing to do the work and make the needed changes to improve their relationship; whilst there are others who do not make that effort or seek the help they need. Unfortunately, in a post pandemic world, we've only seen this increase.

Parents are the primary disciplers, but it takes a village to raise a child. This may include Christian teachers, kids and youth leaders. As a former children’s pastor, I know the challenges of obtaining the right gospel centred curriculum let alone something Aussie made.??? A person who is providing such a service is Dan Buckle, the founder of the Link Ministries Network. A parachurch organisation dedicated to supporting and sharing the gospel with kids and youth.??? We will be speaking with him as he shares how he is reaching this digital generation to understand and own their faith for themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Every child deserves to feel safe, loved and accepted. But unfortunately for many children this is not the case. Sadly, in a fallen and broken world people take advantage of vulnerable children in many countries across the world. Human trafficking, and other forms of modern slavery, are often described as issue that are hidden in plain sight. One organisation that is addressing this issue is Zoe International, that demonstrates God’s compassion through rescuing and caring for orphans and other at-risk children of this heinous crime. Our guest is director of Zoe Australia, who will share about the ministry and how this evil even takes place on our shores, and the growing need for more carers to care for these vulnerable children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the other end, some pastors have a flawed understanding of their role of being all things for all people, and potentially placing the ministry ahead of their family or even their own health. Today’s guest leads The Focused Pastor, a Focus on the Family ministry in the USA that comes alongside pastors, their families, and the church with resources to encourage and equip them personally to do their ministry more effectively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
