The Victory Podcast

Some of us have spent more hours this year being discipled by an algorithm than by an actual person. Tim Roberts joins Simo to talk about why that matters.Tim is the worship director at C3 Victory and has spent decades investing in young men through ministry and team life. They get into the loneliness epidemic among men, what Tim calls social fitness, why accountability isn't a dirty word, and how to take a first step if you've let your friendships slide.C3 Victory Church is based in Newcastle, Australia.

The Bible doesn't say horror movies are a sin. It also doesn't say gambling, vaping, or binge-watching MA-rated shows are sins. So where does that leave us?Simo, Pastor Nate and young adults leader Jack Roberts get into the grey zone, the space between explicit sin and spiritual growth. They talk about what Paul actually meant in 1 Corinthians 6:12, why everything we consume shapes us and how to let the Holy Spirit lead rather than just a rulebook. There's some self-incrimination along the way and a few good one-liners.

Recorded LIVE at Brotherhood Night, this message from Pastor Mark was so profound, we knew we had to get it out to the whole church. Sharing scriptures that shaped his life, Pastor Mark takes us through his story: From the earliest days of C3 in Sydney (falling flat on his face leading his first meetings) to the power of remaining planted in God's house over 40 years of ministry. This is a sermon that WILL challenge, encourage and empower you. So are you ready for what God has for you?

Nobody told us the fight God called us to would feel this ordinary. In this episode Simo and Pastor Daz dig into the comparison trap, the grind of everyday life, and why the mundane might actually be exactly where God has you.They talk about social media highlight reels, gratitude as an underrated weapon, and the story of Caleb — a man who held a vision for 40 years through the desert and came out stronger. If you've been feeling like your life isn't measuring up, this one's for you.Note: this is part two of a conversation — grab EP9 first for the full picture.C3 Victory Church is based in Newcastle, Australia.
