This week Phil Pringle shares a devotional on one of his favourite passages in the Bible: John 15. In it, Jesus says he is the true vine, which means there are many other vines that we can be part of. But Jesus’ heart for us is that we stay connected to him, the true vine. In him we can bear much fruit, and for this to happen, a little pruning must take place. This is an encouraging word reminding us that pruning can be the beginning of an exciting fruitfulness in your life.

This week Phil Pringle is looking at one of the most recited prayers in the entire world: The Lord’s Prayer. In the Bible we see that Noah offered up an offering, Jacob wrestled with God, Job cried out to God, and David sung psalms and prayers. The disciples realised that the secret to Jesus’ life on earth was Him removing himself from everything to commune with God. It is the most powerful move we can make.

Join Phil Pringle today in a devotional on Psalm 91, which is all about understanding that we are protected. Phil unpacks the importance of your unseen moments with God, the theological and personal aspects of faith, the temptations we face in everyday life, and God’s merciful protection through it all.

Mark & Bernie Kelsey, part of the original team who began the C3 movement, talk with Phil Pringle about emerging leaders – the patterns we’re seeing in church life right now, and how we can help young leaders rise. Mark & Bernie began Xpress, their immersive program for church planters and leaders, out of a need for practical, biblical, and empowering training. They’ve got a passion for developing leaders who are spirit-filled, excited about Church, and resilient, able to persevere through tough times. If you know Mark & Bernie, you know what it is to feel encouraged and strengthened by their overwhelming kindness. We pray this podcast inspires you to help young leaders rise in the same way they have!

It can be easy put on a good service and have great music and team, but it’s something else to make disciples that are growing and thriving in their personal Christian journey. This week Phil Pringle chats to John Pearce, Executive Director of C3 Church Global, about being and making disciples. The Church is the mechanism to making disciples and we want people to start this journey, to follow Jesus and in turn, make disciples too. This is such an important conversation and Phil and John bring their own personal experience to the table which is meaningful and well worth the listen.

Covid has affected all areas of life and this includes Church life. This week Phil Pringle has a candid conversation with John Pearce, Executive Director of C3 Church Global, about the return of the Church. It’s safe to say, most Christians have had an online experience of Church over the last 14 months with lockdowns ranging from 2 weeks to 60+ weeks. This conversation highlights how as a Church we have come out of this strong, with new members being added to the movement, new lives coming to Christ, and people volunteering to help. The Church is tough, the Church is strong and we want to encourage you with this podcast to keep pursuing Christ.

Have you ever wondered how to balance family, a business, and ministry? Maybe this elusive sense of “balance” isn’t what we should be striving for.
