One line from The Lion King can feel like entertainment… until it lands like a message with your name on it. Robbie Venter joins us to share the moment that stopped him in his tracks, pulled him out of a life of masks and survival, and set him on a new path of identity, authority, and purpose in the Kingdom of God.

Robbie’s story is raw and deeply relatable: moving countries as a kid, learning a new language, living with ADD, getting kicked out of school, and carrying the weight of trying to fit into systems that never knew what to do with him. We talk about why authenticity matters, why it can cost you relationships, and how many people are not “fake” so much as conditioned, performing a version of themselves they never chose.

From there we go deeper into the big ideas behind Robbie’s book Remember Who You Are: identity, position, and responsibility. We explore what it means to live as a spirit being having a human experience, why authority without identity becomes striving, and how healthy mentorship draws out what God already placed inside you. Robbie also shares the practical side of his journey: Australia, the mines, a Masters in business, and building a property portfolio that created financial freedom and opened space to serve.

If you’ve been asking who you really are, why you keep shrinking, or what it looks like to live aligned, this conversation will stretch you in the best way. Subscribe, share it with a mate, leave a review, and tell us what line or moment hit you hardest.

Beauty is not fluff. It shapes what we hope for, what we tolerate, and what we believe God is like. Sitting down with artist Lilibet Bothma, we follow her journey from South Africa to New Zealand, the UK, and now Queensland, and how a life of making, mending, and experimenting with craft eventually led her into painting that feels less like a product and more like a spiritual practice.

Lilibet shares the dream that changed everything, a moment of “liquid light” that turned grief and big questions into a living faith. From there we talk about Christian creativity in the real world: how God can speak through images, why mystery is not a problem to solve, and what it looks like to create from presence instead of pressure. We also dig into the idea that creativity can be prayer, worship, and communion, even on days when you simply show up and “be”.

A gallery visit sparks a provocative thread: where has beauty gone, and why does so much modern art feel dark and empty? Rather than ending in complaint, we look for a better response, how to bring an economy of love, hope, and joy into spaces that need light. We also name a tension many churches feel, when preaching is elevated and the creative arts become an add-on, even though art can invite deeper relationship and personal revelation.

If you’re an artist, a leader, or someone trying to live with more rest and less control, this conversation will give you language, permission, and practical insight. Subscribe, share this with a creative friend, and leave a review telling us what beauty means to you.

Rest is not a reward for finishing the work, and it is not a vague “self-care” idea we try to squeeze into an overfull week. We sit down with Liz Wright to talk about rest as a design feature of the Christian life, and why peace is meant to be a lived, tangible reality for believers who are in union with Jesus.

We unpack what happens when the church says “Sabbath” but models busyness, and how the Holy Spirit is calling the bride of Christ back to stillness, awareness, and a simpler gospel. Liz shares her story of encountering Jesus in a way that flooded her whole being with love and peace, resetting an overwhelmed nervous system and marking the beginning of a decades-long journey of “come with me” rest. That personal testimony opens into practical wisdom: learning to tune back into God’s presence, using scripture like Psalm 23 as heart language, and letting peace become the place where courage and authority grow.

We also explore surrender and overflow in ministry, including what it looks like to be quiet on the inside so our words carry the presence of God. Liz and I talk about emotional regulation, compassion toward ourselves, and governing our interior world from spirit over soul over body. If life feels loud right now, this conversation offers a grounded path back to clarity, faith, and deep Christian rest.

God might be speaking more than you think, just not always through the channel you were trained to expect. I’m joined by my good friend Roma Waterman for a deep, practical conversation about hearing the voice of God, especially for people who feel stuck, unsure, or quietly discouraged because the “usual way” hasn’t worked for them.

We talk about discovering your personal pathway for discernment and connection, from Scripture as the foundation to the surprising places God often uses, like beauty, art, sunrise, and the hush of creation. Roma shares how creativity becomes a primary language in her relationship with God, and why the question isn’t only what God is saying, but how He wants to speak to you right now.

Roma also tells a defining story from her worship pastor days, being thrown into spontaneous prophetic worship alongside Graham Cooke, and how that single night reshaped her confidence, her songwriting, and her hunger to “hear what heaven is saying”. From there we explore worship and songwriting as modern-day prophetic voice, why movements often carry a sound, and how joy-filled creativity can be a sign of alignment rather than something to distrust.

Seventeen years, one audacious goal, and a finish line that arrived at 12 noon on 12/12 while closing Ecclesiastes 12. We sit down with Dr Brian Simmons to celebrate completing the Passion Translation and to open the doors he walked through along the way: Ezekiel’s piercing demands, Leviticus as a pathway to heal communal trauma, and a Revelation that burns brighter when you read the Greek closely and let metaphor do its work.

Brian shares how accuracy and devotion shaped every page—why Ezekiel required deep restraint, how footnotes became a pastoral space to guide readers through difficult texts, and why Revelation’s “fire horse” changes the feel of apocalyptic imagery. We move into the overlooked beauty of the Torah: Leviticus re‑introduces a wounded people to a faithful God, and Numbers’ forty‑two stations map the inner journey from bondage to promise. These aren’t dry notes; they’re lived realities, tied to family legacy, a jungle snake‑bite miracle, and the joy of welcoming new grandchildren while closing a life’s work.

Our focus then tightens on Job. We talk about suffering with honesty: the adversary behind the scenes, the patience that sees “the end of the Lord,” and the wisdom of silence before arguments harden into condemnation. Job’s turning line—moving from hearing about God to seeing God—becomes a mirror for modern faith. Repentance reads not as self‑hatred but as recanting distorted views of God, a shift that precedes restoration and invites us to pray for those who wounded us. Along the way, Brian reflects on translating in Bethlehem, why walking the land of Israel anchors the text, and extends an open invite to explore Job with us at Kingdom Collaboration.

What happens when you gather a diverse community to unpack a phrase we often say but rarely examine? In this unique experiment, Matt brings together members of the Greater Things community to explore what it means to "raise your kids in the ways of the Lord."

The conversation unfolds like a beautiful tapestry as each person contributes their distinct understanding. Elaine, a beauty therapist from Scotland, speaks passionately about how God's ways are reflected in our unique creation, down to the cellular level. "Each person is completely uniquely created," she explains, connecting this revelation to how she approaches her clients with individualized care.

For Claire, a mother of four girls, the ways of the Lord are tied to identity and experiencing God's love beyond just cognitive knowledge. She vulnerably shares her journey: "I think before I've had a head, cognitive 'yes I know God loves me' agreement, but there's been that massive gap between that knowledge and the experienced reality of it."

The wisdom deepens as Merle and John, a married couple with decades of faith experience, offer their perspectives. Merle describes God's ways as "spacious and perfect," painting vivid images of open gates and wildflower meadows representing the freedom God provides. John, approaching his 70th birthday, draws from 1 Corinthians 13 to explain that God's ways are simply the ways He loves—patient, kind, and never insisting on His own way.

What makes this episode remarkable is how the conversation itself demonstrates the kingdom of God in action—multiple voices contributing to a richer revelation than any single perspective could provide. When Claire honestly admits she currently feels on a narrow path rather than in a spacious place, it doesn't diminish Merle's insight but rather expands the group's collective understanding.

Join this authentic community conversation and discover how different perspectives on God's ways might illuminate your own journey of faith and parenting. What might it mean for you to walk in or raise others in "the ways of the Lord"?

Brian Simmons returns after facing significant health challenges to share his profound passion for the Song of Songs, revealing why this ancient text remains perhaps the most transformative book in Scripture for understanding God's heart toward us.

After surviving heart failure with just 15% heart function, Brian brings renewed perspective on what truly matters - experiencing and sharing divine love. He offers a glimpse into the final stages of completing the Passion Translation, with only five books remaining before the entire Bible is finished in early 2027.

The conversation shifts to explore why the Song of Songs was the favorite book of the early church fathers long before the New Testament canon was completed. Rather than viewing it as merely one of Solomon's romantic exploits, Brian unpacks how this poetic masterpiece reveals the divine romance between Christ and His bride.

What makes this text exceptionally powerful is how it legitimizes our emotional connection with God. "How can we dare relate to God without our emotion?" Brian asks, challenging religious perspectives that prioritize intellect or behaviour over heart connection. The Song portrays a God who sees us as already beautiful and perfected, even while we still see our flaws - a "divine psychology" where loving affirmation becomes the catalyst for spiritual maturity.

This perspective transforms how we view ourselves and others. Brian shares how God challenged him to "overestimate the value of people" - to see them not according to their current state but according to God's perspective. Through personal stories of morning communion rituals and blessing even those who have harmed him, he demonstrates how this "love theology" creates space for authentic relationship rather than religious performance.

Curious about discovering your identity as the beloved of God? This conversation invites you to return to this ancient love poem with fresh eyes, allowing its divine romance to transform how you see yourself, others, and the One who pursues us until we surrender to love.

That breakthrough you've been praying for might be waiting—not in your striving, but in your sleeping. Divine rest isn't a luxury or an afterthought; it's foundational to how God designed us to function in relationship with Him.

Ben Armstrong brings profound wisdom to our conversation about sleep, dreams, and the prophetic. He highlights how in the creation narrative, each day began with evening—a divine rhythm suggesting we should live from rest toward activity, not desperately racing toward rest after depleting ourselves.

When the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, Peter quoted Joel's prophecy that dreams and visions would be key languages of the Spirit. Yet many believers have lost touch with this vital spiritual channel. Through biblical examples like Jacob receiving identity and direction through a dream, Ben illustrates how God often speaks most clearly when we're at rest.

Modern science confirms what Scripture teaches—our bodies undergo crucial restoration during sleep, and most growth in nature happens at night. High cortisol levels from stress inhibit rest, while practices like reducing screen time before bed improve both sleep quality and dream recall. Even nutrition plays a surprising role in our ability to rest well.

Perhaps most challenging is Ben's observation that we often "spiritualise our dysfunction," pushing through exhaustion while framing unhealthy patterns in religious language. Jesus modelled something different—communion with Father first, followed by purposeful action with more than enough resources for the day.

The conversation concludes with a practical challenge: identify one small daily habit that acknowledges rest as vital to your life. This simple act of stewardship invites God's grace and can transform your entire approach to living in His kingdom.

What divine breakthrough might be waiting for you in the place of rest you've been avoiding?

BEN ARMSTRONG

The Overseer of Prophetic Ministry at Bethel Church, Redding, where he and his wife, Heather Armstrong, both serve as pastors.

Through teaching and preaching, Ben equips people with the skills and tools they need to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. He has a passion to see individuals fully equipped in living a prophetic lifestyle, as well as walking in the revelatory gifts. Ben has a passion for the pursuit of God’s presence, seeing worship reach new heavenly realms, dreams and interpretation, healing, and living a prophetic lifestyle.

What happens when we strip away expectations and discover our authentic creative voice? Chris Folson's journey from atheist child to influential worship songwriter reveals powerful truths about creativity, faith, and finding your unique expression in a world that demands conformity.

Growing up with entertainer parents, Chris absorbed creativity through osmosis while his grandfather's encouragement to question everything paradoxically led him toward faith. This fascinating background shaped Chris into a storyteller who views art as a vehicle for mystery rather than a platform for answers—much like the parables Jesus told that confused even his closest followers.

Chris shares a startling NASA study revealing that while 98% of children aged 3-5 have creative genius potential, only 2% retain it by age 18. Through education and religious systems that value conformity over curiosity, we systematically unlearn our natural creative abilities. The revelation is both heartbreaking and hopeful: what if we could reclaim this lost creative innocence?

The conversation takes a compelling turn when Chris describes discovering his authentic voice after years of professional musicianship. After being constantly instructed to "play like" famous guitarists, his role as a church music director ironically freed him to develop his own style. "In God's presence," he reflects, "I forgot who I was supposed to be and I became who I really was." This moment became a cornerstone of his artistic philosophy and coaching approach.

For creators struggling with self-doubt, Chris offers this liberating perspective: "The world doesn't need another love song, but what the world needs is your love song." By embracing your unique viewpoint and releasing the need to be clever or successful, authentic expression emerges. Ready to rediscover your creative voice? This conversation might be the permission slip you've been waiting for.

What does it mean to truly be seen? To strip away the facades and connect with others in raw authenticity? Gavin Fuller, videographer, storyteller, father of five, and self-described "friend of Jesus," joins me for a conversation that will challenge how you think about identity and relationships.

Gavin takes us into his imaginative prayer life, where he flips the famous Biblical question "Who do you say that I am?" back to Jesus, asking "Who do YOU say that I am?" The answer—"You're a friend"—becomes the foundation for how he approaches every relationship in his life. This identity as "friend" shapes his extraordinary capacity to care for others, remember faces, and maintain emotional connections across years and distances.

We explore the concept of marriage as "a city on a hill" characterized by authority balanced with love, and how the Fuller family dinner table becomes a communion table—a sacred space where authentic conversations unfold. Gavin shares his approach to drawing people into deeper connection by noticing conversational threads and creating safe spaces for vulnerability.

Perhaps most profound is our discussion of Eden—how we weren't designed for platforms and polished perfection, but for the beautiful mess of the garden. Gavin's refreshing honesty about family life, marriage struggles, and the joy found in everyday moments offers a compelling vision of what it means to experience paradise in our ordinary lives.

For anyone feeling lonely, powerless, or hopeless about the future, this conversation offers a practical pathway forward through authenticity and connection. Learn how paying attention to the "open threads" in your conversations might create the very Eden you've been searching for.

Have you ever felt God calling you toward something that initially made you want to say "no thank you"? That's exactly what happened when artist Jessie DeCorsey felt the divine nudge to pick up her paintbrush again after years of creative trauma and disappointment.

Despite being a lifelong artist with two decades of professional experience, Jessie had reached a point where painting was associated with so much hurt that she couldn't imagine returning to it. A professor's dismissive comment about her faith-inspired art having "no future," followed by years of struggle trying to market her work, had left deep wounds. Even when opportunities finally emerged—like becoming an artist-in-residence at Luther Seminary—a faith crisis left her creatively empty, unable to find inspiration or even desire to create.

In this deeply personal conversation, Jessie reveals how God's simple invitation to "pick up your brush" transformed into a journey of profound healing and creative liberation. Without agenda or pressure to succeed, she found herself creating over 20 paintings in just three months, each one becoming a devotional conversation with God. The freedom she discovered came through releasing expectations about outcomes and simply asking each day: "What do you want to create with me today?"

This episode explores how creativity flows naturally when we release the need for validation and commercial success, how comparison kills our unique expression, and how to identify what truly brings life to your spirit. Whether you're an artist, writer, musician, or someone who's never considered yourself "creative," Jessie's story offers a powerful invitation to reconsider what creativity might look like in your own life and to take that first small step toward what God is calling you to do—even when it feels uncomfortable.

What happens when we finally remove the masks we've worn for decades? Betty Bradshaw's transformational journey takes us from performance-driven perfectionism to authentic spiritual identity in this powerful conversation.

Betty opens up about growing up in a chaotic home with a brother battling addiction, which led her to build strong protective walls and dedicate herself to "doing everything the right way." This pattern served her well through raising four children and running a business, but left her true self hidden behind carefully constructed barriers of achievement and competence.

The empty nest phase brought a pivotal question: "What am I going to do now?" Though initially resistant, Betty found herself in a life-changing Bible study that transformed her relationship with the Holy Spirit. She shares the powerful moment in 2016 when prayer released her from the weights she hadn't realized she carried—fear, pride, judgment, and performance—setting her on a path toward her true calling.

We explore how this spiritual awakening transformed her marriage as she learned to honor her husband differently, creating a new oneness between them that mirrors the vulnerability she discovered with God. This personal journey ultimately led to the birth of Fresh Wind Ministries, where Betty now creates safe spaces for others to encounter the Holy Spirit and discover their authentic identity.

What makes this story particularly compelling is Betty's willingness to surrender control and follow God's leading one day at a time. Her perspective that "God works in seasons and isn't bound by time" offers hope to anyone feeling stuck in performance-based living or wondering if their past has purpose.

What happens when we learn to embrace connection in a world designed to keep us disconnected? South African-born Lana Enkelbrecht joins us to share her powerful insights on finding freedom through connected living.

Drawing from her experiences across three countries and cultures, Lana reveals how disconnection from our true identity creates literal "dis-ease" in our bodies and relationships. With warmth and wisdom, she explores how our fast-paced, digitally-saturated world has eroded our capacity for genuine connection—with ourselves, with God, and with those around us.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Lana unpacks the Hebrew concept of "shalom"—not just peace, but bringing order and beauty from chaos. She describes practical ways to remain grounded amid life's storms, including intentional moments of presence and curiosity. Rather than seeing challenges as attacks, Lana suggests they reveal heart positions we might otherwise ignore, creating opportunities for transformation.

As someone preparing to write a book on connected living, Lana offers profound insights about nurturing connection in families, embracing our purpose, and creating environments where others experience the peace of heaven. Her perspective on approaching life with curiosity rather than judgment opens new pathways for authentic relationship and spiritual growth.

Andrew Battistella, pastor of a church in Ballarat, Victoria, brings a refreshing authenticity to this profound conversation about creating communities where people can truly be themselves. Rather than presenting a polished facade, Andrew identifies first as a "friend" - someone who loves journeying with people around tables filled with good food and honest conversation.

The conversation explores what happens when we prioritize safety over perfection in our churches. His church vision crystallizes this approach: "To be a safe place for all people where they can be restored and revealed to His glory."

What makes this discussion particularly powerful is Andrew's willingness to share his own story. From experiencing rejection in his youth to navigating the complexities of family restoration, his journey has shaped his belief that authenticity heals. In perhaps the most striking revelation, he shares that every member of his church leadership team sees a counselor - a fact he proudly tells other pastors.

The dialogue delves into the three pillars Andrew considers "keys of the kingdom": authenticity, vulnerability, and transparency. While our culture often frames vulnerability as weakness, Andrew argues it's actually our natural state in God's economy. The conversation tackles the wisdom required to balance openness with appropriate boundaries, likening it to Jesus having his inner circle of three disciples.

By the end, a powerful truth emerges: perspective through the Father's heart changes everything. Rather than seeing God as a harsh judge, Andrew invites us to recognize Him as a loving Father creating "opportunity after opportunity for deeper relationship." This reshapes how we approach ministry, relationships, and our own brokenness.

Join us for this refreshingly honest conversation that might just change how you think about community, leadership, and what it means to create truly safe spaces where healing can flourish.

Discerning God's voice amidst the noise of everyday life presents a profound challenge for many believers. In this illuminating conversation with Naomi Byers, we explore the intricate art of hearing, testing, and applying divine messages with both confidence and humility.

Naomi's journey from high school chemistry teacher to prophetic pioneer offers a fascinating perspective on spiritual discernment. With her unique blend of scientific thinking and spiritual sensitivity, she unpacks how God speaks through multiple channels—dreams, Scripture, creation, and even through her children's unexpected pronouncements (what she affectionately calls "clangers"). Her testimony reminds us that divine communication transcends our limited categories and invites us to expand our spiritual receptivity.

The heart of our discussion revolves around testing prophetic words with wisdom and community discernment. Unlike superficial approaches, Naomi advocates for a comprehensive process that honors both the seriousness of speaking on God's behalf and the biblical mandate to "test everything." For those navigating the often confusing landscape of modern prophetic ministry, her balanced methodology offers much-needed clarity.

We dive deep into understanding your prophetic gifting, challenging unhealthy hierarchies that create unnecessary division within the church. "Each individual, you are the most powerful prophet in your own life," Naomi declares, shifting focus from aspiring to positions toward embracing our unique design and purpose. This perspective aligns perfectly with the Joel 2 vision of the Spirit being poured out on all flesh, empowering every believer to hear and respond to God's voice.

Using the powerful metaphor of pottery, Naomi describes spiritual formation as thoroughly messy yet beautiful—much like staying on the potter's wheel while being shaped. Her insights on distinguishing between God-given responsibilities and false burdens cut straight to the heart of ministry burnout, offering freedom to those carrying weights they were never designed to bear.

Forgiveness sits at the heart of Christian faith, yet too often we reduce it to a simple phrase or moment when the reality is far more complex and powerful. In this raw and deeply personal conversation, Ben Armstrong takes us behind the curtain of his own journey through infidelity, betrayal, and the long road to restoration in his marriage and family.

Ben offers a refreshing perspective that challenges common misconceptions about forgiveness. "Forgiveness is given, trust is earned," he explains, highlighting how many believers confuse these distinct elements of healing. Through his story, we discover how forgiveness often happens in layers as new wounds surface, requiring ongoing grace rather than a one-time decision.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as Ben and Matt explore the challenges of isolation in the healing process. They challenge the notion that "all you need is God" for healing, instead pointing to Jesus' own model of both intimate communion with the Father and intentional connection with others. This theological grounding provides a framework for understanding why counseling, community, and shared wisdom become essential components of true forgiveness.

Parents will find particular value in Ben's insights about modeling forgiveness at home. He shares how working through his own forgiveness journey with transparency actually equipped his children with tools for their own emotional processing. The ripple effects of authentic forgiveness within families can transform generations.

Whether you're struggling to forgive someone who's wounded you deeply, seeking forgiveness for harm you've caused, or simply wanting to understand this cornerstone of faith more fully, this episode offers practical wisdom without easy answers. Ben's vulnerability creates space for listeners to engage their own forgiveness journeys with new perspective and hope.
