Through honest conversations with church planters, missional leaders, community builders, and kingdom innovators, we dig into what it looks like to join in with what God is growing in the world.


From church planting and missional communities to fresh expressions, local mission, leadership, failure, hope, and the slow work of faithfulness, Fresh Dirt is about the places where new life begins, often below the surface.


Fresh Dirt: conversations for deeper roots, fresh courage, and Kingdom imagination.

We begin with a simple but important question: what on earth is a church plant?

Together, we unpack what church planting is, why it matters, and how it connects to mission, community, discipleship and the future of the Church in Australia. Whether you’re a pastor, planter, leader, curious Christian, or simply wondering what all the language means, this episode is a gentle starting point for the conversation.

This episode is supported by ACOM’s Kenmore Institute for Church Planting — an incredible opportunity for church planters, future planters, revitalisers, and anyone curious about joining in the work of starting and renewing churches.
