In this podcast, we continue our series with Jon Hoskin tackling the very tricky topic of Unanswered Prayer.

In this podcast, Newt follows up on from last week's podcast, speaking about the importance of the city, the twilight of secularism and why being a community focused on spiritual formation is just what the doctor ordered.

In this podcast, we have the sixth talk in our series A Life of Prayer where Newt will be talking about the mission of Saint Augustine’s, and how and why being a community with spiritual formation at its heart is so life-giving for the city we’re in.

In response to the horrific attacks at two Christchurch mosques this past Friday, we devote this podcast to praying for those people who have been affected by this tragedy.

The shocking nature of this act is acutely felt by many New Zealanders, and it is difficult for us to make sense of events such as these. Up until now, tragedies such as this have always happened elsewhere, and so in many ways, this attack and the subsequent loss of life represents a collective loss for us as a nation as we realise that we are not immune from catastrophes of this nature.

In this podcast, we will stand in solidarity with the victims of this attack, praying for God’s peace and protection to be over the city of Christchurch and everyone affected by this awful event.

For one reason or another, many of us approach the contemplative tradition with a degree of suspicion — as something weird mystics and ascetics do alongside eating too much cabbage. But contemplative prayer is something that is accessible to everyone; it is often very simple and many people find it quite profound. In this podcast, Angelika Halstead speaks to us about contemplative prayer and encourages us to engage and move forward on this exciting path.

In this podcast, Andy talks about singing prayer from our souls, looking at Mary’s song of praise to God from Luke 1, also known as The Magnificat (which has, incidentally, been banned from being sung or recited in church or in public no less than three separate times throughout history in India, Guatemala and Argentina because it was seen as dangerously subversive).

Newt’s up again with the second podcast in our new series on Prayer, this time looking at how the relationship at the heart of prayer is a microcosm of humanity’s relationship with God.

Dallas Willard said that prayer is simply, “Talking to God about what we are doing together.” In this new series, we will be exploring the spiritual practice of prayer in all its glory, starting off with this podcast by looking at what it means to communicate with God.

This is a not-to-be-missed podcast featuring John Mark Comer speaking on his specialist topic of "hurry". He's all the way over from Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon. Here he speaks to a combined gathering of churches with both Saint Augustine's and Central Vineyard in Auckland delighted to host him.

In this podcast, Jon Hoskin is bringing us the fourth and final talk in our Centering Psalms series, walking us through Psalm 104 and the importance of recovering a sense of place and belonging in a global environment that can at times be dehumanizing and groundless.
