Mid-Year Highlights #2 Legacy of Leadership: Melinda Dwight’s Journey with Alpha Australia
We’re sharing the top 3 most listened-to episodes of the Win/Win Evangelism Podcast and coming in at #2 is this impactful episode on Melinda Dwight’s Journey with Alpha Australia. In this episode, Tina Waldrom chats with Melinda, who spent 15 years leading Alpha Australia. Melinda shares stories from her leadership journey, the highs, the challenges, and the moments of hope as she helped Alpha grow across all sorts of church backgrounds. From small beginnings to national reach, she opens up about what it took to build something that connects so many people to faith. She also talks about how important it is to be culturally aware, pray consistently, and listen to what communities really need. These were key parts of the strategy that helped Alpha Australia thrive and remain relevant.
Melinda and Tina also explore how evangelism is changing and why it's so vital to involve the next generation. Melinda encourages young people to step forward with confidence, reminding listeners that people today are more spiritually open than we might think. There's a real hunger for purpose and connection, and that’s where evangelism comes in. Melinda’s passion for seeing lives transformed through Alpha is clear, and she leaves listeners with practical encouragement to stay prayerful, stay open, and keep sharing Jesus in ways that make sense in today’s world.
