What does the future of the church look like? The Forming Church Podcast explores diverse approaches to church planting, mission and evangelism in our rapidly changing world. We want to generate learning and conversation around these areas, while resourcing the next generation of church planters, missional thinkers and followers of Jesus in contemporary Australian contexts. Brought to you by Gen1K Mission and Lead by Story, Forming Church is hosted by Will Small, Benj Gould and Jamie Freeman.

THIS episode is an absolute must listen. Tod Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains and Tempered Resilience joined us for a conversation about adaptive change in leadership - a topic that speaks directly to our rapidly changing times. Tod is the Vice-President and Chief of Leadership Formation at Fuller Theological Seminary and honestly we’re punching above our weight having a chat to him. He drops SO much wisdom in this conversation that could radically reframe how you look at your ministry context and your own health as a leader.

Will and Benj make their debut appearance at the Roundtable. With John Cavanough giving us a birds eye view of different models and methods last week, Jamie thought it would be worth hearing some of the unique approaches Will and Benj have taken. We talk things like being BiVo/CoVo (and explain what that means), what metrics are worth measuring and Benj even introduces us to the term ‘collective effervescence’.

John Cavanough is heading up the Marrickville Baptist church plant. He’s also recently done some research for the denomination around the impact of different models and approaches to church planting. He gives us a really helpful overview of the difference between models like ‘neighbourhood’ churches, ‘resource’ churches and ‘simple’ churches. This conversation is absolutely chock full of helpful insights and questions worth asking in your context. Get amongst it.

Megan Powell Du Toit joined us for a conversation on a topic close to her heart. How do you hold a different view to someone and yet still respect each other - and maybe even be friends?? Megan is the Publishing Manager at the Australian College of Theology, and co-hosts the 'With All Due Respect' podcast. This was a great conversation and one we feel is particularly needed in our cultural climate of polarisation and division.

At the time when we recorded this episode Ian Altman was the team leader for Gen1K Health at the Baptist Association of NSW & ACT. He has since finished up in this role, but his legacy lives on through this episode! He shared with us about the life cycle of churches, the indicators of church health, and when it may in fact be time for a church to die. (Juicy, right?) Listen and learn how to keep things healthy before it's too late.

Nigel and his friends used to live in a 'non-neighbourhood', Morningside in New Zealand. They began to ask each other, what would it look like to create a neighbourhood people loved living in? The resulting story is some seriously good news. Along with a crew of like-minded friends Nigel leads Crave cafe, Mosaic Morningside and a bunch of other good in the 'hood. Listen here and get inspired about what you could do in your own neighbourhood.
