Did you know the longest serving editor of Adventist Record was a woman, named Anna Hindson? Do you know when the letters section started letting people have contrary opinions? And why? You're about the find out. 

Adventist Record is a hungry beast, with deadlines rolling around week to week. In this episode we meet some of the editors that have made Record what it is today and some of the changes that have been made from those early days. 

The Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific (SPD) was established by mission minded people and printing and sharing their faith was a key part of that strategy. We join Dr Barry Oliver, former SPD president, as he takes us through some of that history and how Adventist Record has played a part. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, podcast Friday mornings.

"In my life, it’s often my own hubris that brings me into the desert place. And when confronted with the results of my own choices, sometimes all we can do is reach out to God." The Bible is filled with wilderness experiences, where characters find a moment of testing, growth or trial in the desert. But God promises to bring up springs in the desert. Our guest, Jesse Herford, associate editor of Signs of the Times magazine and pastor, reflects with us on the wilderness experiences of our lives, how God has used those (or what good He can bring out of them) and whether or not He leads us there to teach us lessons. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, podcast Fridays.

In a world where trust in business, government and the media is diminishing, how can Christians cut through the noise and build meaningful connections? One answer is the power of authentic stories. Jarrod and Zanita discuss authenticity and how it changed Jarrod's life. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, podcast Friday mornings.

In this episode, we chat with Enno Mueller, News and Communication director for the Adventist Review, Adventism's flagship publication. The Adventist Review has a storied history—launched by James White in 1849, before the Seventh-day Adventist Church was organised. But why does the church need news, and why should you submit and share your own local church news with others? #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Podcast Friday mornings.

Prayer is one of those disciplines that is expected of a Christian. It is always the right answer for what we might need more of to get more spiritual. But Paul's injunction is to pray without stopping. Is it even possible? Or was he exaggerating? On this episode of #RecordLive we look at prayer in new and old ways and as always, we get practical. Wednesdays 4pm and podcast Friday mornings.

Have you hear about Third Culture Kids? They grow up in a culture that is not their own, often in missionary families, leading to feelings of dislocation and isolation. In this episode we speak with a TCK about the experience, how it has shaped her identity and how she has navigated finding "home". #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Podcasts Friday mornings.

In a world of swipes and clicks, how do we connect with something greater? This episode unpacks how technology is reshaping faith—from prayer apps to online communities, AI-driven content, and the Holy Spirit in digital spaces. Is tech deepening our spiritual lives or just adding noise? Let’s explore. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Friday morning podcast.

#RecordLive family, we're back for 2025. Many people approach the Bible as a step-by-step guide, but was it designed that way? We examine the purpose of the Bible, how to read it responsibly and how NOT to read it. We also explore the question of what to do when the Bible doesn't answer the questions you have or the scenarios modern life throws at you. Live Wednesdays 4pm, Podcast Friday mornings.

Last week, we had the privilege of interviewing Dr Darius Jankiewicz about the topic of ordination, and explored whether it was a biblical concept or not. Today, he will be joining us again to dive deeper into the topic of women's ordination specifically. We will look at biblical hermeneutics, headship theology, and tackle the interpretation of Bible verses often used for/against ordaining women. It's an episode NOT to be missed!
