About This Series Over six weeks, we're sharing keynote talks and discussions from the second Future Church Conference, held at the Tram Sheds in Glebe. This gathering brought together church leaders, pastors, and Jesus-followers passionate about creating safer, more inclusive faith communities.

Whether you're leading church, leaving church, unsure about the whole thing, or just curious about what the future might hold, these conversations explore what it means to reimagine church for everyone.

Conference Posture Future Church Conference invited participants to adopt three key postures:

• Lean in - Sit with discomfort and ask why certain ideas trigger us
• Listen - Hear vulnerable ideas from speakers and connect with each other
• Look forward - Focus on future possibilities rather than past wounds

What You'll Hear in This Episode: The closing panel discussion of Future Church Conference exploring how the church might move beyond divisive culture wars toward more constructive engagement with complex social issues.

About the Panelists: Will Small is joined by Jarrod McKenna (nonviolent activist and Common Grace founder), Josephine Inkpin (transgender priest and activist), and Mikenzie Ling (Wiradjuri woman and First Nations consultant in the Uniting Church of Australia) to discuss why and how the Church ought to transcend Culture War rhetoric and embody a better way forward.
