Soon enough, none of us will remember life before the internet. Our online technologies will have become a kind of foundational myth. Something essential will be missing from our lives, something our ancestors took entirely for granted—an ability to be absent. We chat with Dr Brian Russell about his new book CenteringPrayer, Sitting Quietly in God’s Presence in this episode.

We live in a world that is marked by disruptive change, that will require innovators and artists to remake the future. More than ever before leaders need to rediscover the lost art of creativity.  In this episode, we chat about how to cultivate a culture of missional creativity.

In this episode, we dive into what is coaching, and maybe more importantly, what is not coaching. We explore the benefits of coming alongside people to help them realise their dreams, hopes and vision can be such a powerful experience.

Dan Drew is a seasoned church planter who has led change in various countries. Dan shares his wisdom on what it means to lead from a future-focused posture and seeks to simplify and innovate structures through the medium of coaching.

We are in one of the most exciting ages in our history for those who want to help others in their lives and make our world a better place. Yet, leaders are burnt out.  Even though we know for sure leaders who are coached thrive, unfortunately, coaching training has been out of reach for most people. In this episode, we share our mission to disrupt the traditional high entry costs of coaching training by making Coach Training affordable, accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

This week on the podcast, we’re talking with Randy Hardman, owner of Drinkling Coffee and Mugs in Wilmore, Kentucky, USA. Randy reflects on the intersection of faith, social mission and business, how Drinklings got started and how Winfield became their resident artist. At the heart of Randy’s vision is the belief that they do not sell coffee for its own sake. Still, to a particular end--that is, as a catalyst for imagination (inspiration and creativity) and fellowship (relationship and intimacy). Drinklings Coffee is inspired by the Oxford Inklings (who included JRR Tolkien & C. S. Lewis); Randy explains how these great writers still brought new things to the struggles and challenges of life world.
