In this From the Archives episode of The Takeaway, we revisit an encouraging message from Dougal Steven of CruWest, originally shared during the Week 8, Term 1 Chapel at HillSide Christian College.

In a world where it's easy to place our identity in achievements, relationships, possessions, or success, Dougal reminds us that these things are temporary. Drawing from Ephesians 2, he shares how God's unchanging Word anchors us in His love, mercy, and grace, revealing that our true identity is found in Christ alone. Through practical encouragement, he challenges us to spend time in God's Word each day, allowing it to shape our hearts, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to Jesus. It's a message about finding lasting hope, purpose, and identity in the One who never changes.

In this From the Archives episode of The Takeaway, we revisit a thoughtful message from Chaplain Alex, originally shared during the Week 7, Term 1 Chapel at HillSide Christian College.

What do you do when faith doesn't seem to make sense? Drawing from the story of Job, Chaplain Alex explores some of life's hardest questions, from suffering and unanswered prayer to doubt and uncertainty. Rather than discouraging honest questions, he reminds us that God welcomes them and invites us to seek Him with open hearts. It's a message about trusting God's character, finding hope when answers don't come straight away, and believing that He remains faithful through every season.

In this From the Archives episode of The Takeaway, we revisit a powerful message from Matt Porter, originally shared during the Week 6, Term 1 Chapel at HillSide Christian College.

Matt explores what it means to live in the freedom that Jesus offers. Looking at the promises found throughout Scripture, he reminds us that our identity is found in Christ, not in our past, our struggles, or the expectations of others. Through personal stories of overcoming anxiety, persistent prayer for his family, and the challenge to "not turn back", Matt encourages us to believe God's promises, embrace the freedom He gives, and keep moving forward in faith. It's a message about identity, belief, and living in the freedom that Jesus has already won for us.

This week's chapel message features Dr Quinlivan sharing a deeply personal story about identity, influence, and forgiveness. Drawing from his own journey of faith, Dr Quinlivan reflects on the voices that shape our lives and challenges us to consider whether we're listening to God or allowing the opinions of others to define us. Through the powerful illustration of a rabbit trap and the teaching of Ephesians 4, he reminds us that offence and unforgiveness can quietly take hold of our hearts. Instead, we're encouraged to keep our hearts soft, extend forgiveness, and trust God to guide us in truth and freedom.

In this message, Ps Joey speaks honestly about fear, calling, and the times we can find ourselves pulling back from God. Using Peter’s story alongside his own testimony, he reflects on what it means to deny Jesus, to return to Him, and to step into what God has placed on your life. It’s a message about surrender, courage, and trusting that God can still work through us even when we’ve struggled.

HillSide Christian College is a Christ-centred K–12 school situated in Perth, Western Australia. We’re committed to nurturing the whole student - head, heart, and hand - through high-quality, affordable Christian education grounded in faith, values, and community.

This week’s episode features two powerful testimonies — one from staff member Andrew, and one from a Secondary student.

Andrew shares about God’s faithfulness through a life-threatening birth condition and an unexpected job loss that led him to Hillside. Our student speaker reflects on feeling empty despite having friends and how encountering Jesus brought lasting joy and purpose.

Two different stories, one consistent theme: God meets us in both the crisis and the quiet moments — and He changes lives.

This week’s chapel message explores Hebrews 12 and the idea of an unshakable kingdom. Looking at the early followers of Jesus who were tempted to return to what felt easier, we’re reminded that building our lives on things that last matters. When everything else feels uncertain or pressured, Jesus remains steady — a foundation that cannot be shaken.
