In the first episode of 2022, John is joined by special guests Rev Dr William Olhausen and his wife Tanya, from St Matthias' Church in Killiney/Ballybrack. They chat all about the Marriage Course - what is it, how can it be used well in Churches, and why it's of particular benefit for Church Leaders to consider trying the Marriage Course themselves.

There's then an invitation to try the special Church Leaders' Online Marriage Course, starting Wednesday 19th January, which William and Tanya will be hosting in partnership with Alpha Ireland.

In this week's episode, Dom and John break open the topic that many Church leaders are struggling with right now - how do we lead in mission as we exit lockdown and as restrictions ease? How do we balance online ministry within in-person services again? Is there a way to do both? And what role can Alpha play in reaching out to those on the margins?

It's a good chat with plenty of practical ideas about ensuring that even in a time of uncertainty, mission stays at the heart of all we do as Church.

John & Dom are back again and this time we're looking at Youth Ministry - what is it, why is it important, and how can we make sure that we're making a difference in the lives of young people today?

John then chats to Gerard Hanley, a Youth Evangelisation Worker from the Archdiocese of Dublin all about reaching out to and connecting with young people around the Gospel. It's a powerful chat with some great tips.

Dom & John chat with Fr James Mallon of Divine Renovation Ministries all about how to lead for mission in Ireland today. The conversation initially took place in the context of a webinar for Catholic Bishops and Diocesan staff, but there is much to be gleaned from it for anyone who is engaged in ministry in Ireland today.

It's an honest, in-depth conversation focused on how to lead for mission post-pandemic, with a sense of urgency and commitment to the Gospel values at its heart.

John & Dom discuss the importance of prayer ministry on Alpha, before an in-depth conversation with Roly & Susan Heaney of Redcross Church in Wicklow around developing a culture of Prayer Ministry in your church, and how to practically approach the Holy Spirit Day on Alpha.

The Mission Mindset is the new Podcast series from the Alpha Ireland team. Join John & Dom as they discuss mission in Ireland with the best minds in ministry.

In each episode we speak to one of the best minds in ministry offering insight and practical advice for evangelisation in Ireland today.
