What does it take to raise up Christian leaders who influence culture and politics with wisdom, faith, and clarity?

In this episode, I sit down with Rev. Dr. Daniel Anderson, CEO of the Lachlan Macquarie Institute, to explore how we develop biblically grounded, culturally intelligent, and positively engaged leaders across Australia. With a PhD in the ethics of forgiveness and decades of experience mentoring students and emerging leaders, Daniel shares what it means to live out your faith in the public square, without compromise.

We talk about forgiveness, calling, resilience, and the practical steps believers need to take to grow their leadership and impact across all sectors of society.

If you feel called to influence beyond the walls of the church—in business, politics, education, or culture—this conversation will inspire and equip you.

What if your daily work was part of God’s mission, not a distraction from it?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kara Martin, Adjunct Professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and author of the Workship book series. Kara is a global voice in the faith and work movement, and together we unpack what it means to truly integrate your faith into every corner of your professional life.

We talk about co-labouring with God, the biblical foundations of vocation, and why spiritual formation often happens more in boardrooms than in Bible studies. Kara also shares seven spiritual disciplines that will help you live out your calling in practical, deeply rooted ways.

This is more than a theology lesson—it’s a roadmap for living an undivided life where Monday matters just as much as Sunday.

Listen in and be encouraged to work with purpose, obedience, and eternal perspective.
