This Week At Windsor

That's true...even for our co-host, Ardin Beech, who is back in the studio with Jonathan (and special ring-in Eddie Bang) to preview the first of two episodes featuring our stellar guest Dr. Jenny Brown. She is an author, speaker, practitioner, and co-founder of the Family Systems Institute in Australia.

Having devoted her career to the field of family systems research, Jenny sits down with Jonathan to discuss the relational dynamics of families and the way this impacts our life, relationships and sense of identity. By applying key concepts of the Bowen Systems Theory, Jenny begins to map some typical problems and pitfalls that arise from family relationships. Along the way she opens up about her own family ties and what led her to begin exploring these questions.

Whilst I'm sure you came from a "perfect" family, odds are you know someone who didn't. So you'd be doing yourself a favour by jumping in for a listen! Part 1 of the interview begins at 11:05

With the APB still out for Ardin Beech, Jonathan hit the road this week to interview Morling College Principal Dr. Tim MacBride about the state of theological education and the shortage of pastoral candidates that is verging on crisis.

Join us as Tim shares his passion for preaching and his insights into trends in training for ministry.  Along the way you'll glean some tips for navigating changes in life and discover why Artificial Intelligence won't be running preachers out of their jobs anytime soon.  

***Note: Jonathan experienced some technical difficulties during the end of the recording and whilst Ardin surely would not have made any such mistake, at least Jonathan had the foresight to provide Mariah with a backup recording to salvage the podcast!

With Ardin Beech *conveniently* away, Jonathan steps behind the 'host' desk to talk with Bree Bond about the hot, albeit hushed, topic of sex. After sharing a bit of her personal history and spiritual journey, Bree wades into the complex discussion of sex for the Christian -- and why its so often ignored (or even disparaged) in faith contexts.  

Join us to hear how Jesus has the power to unwrap us from our shame and present us as restored men and women that reflect God's good design.

This podcast sets the table for a special series of conversations about shame, identity, sexuality and intimacy.  These conversations will be held over a series of 3 Sunday nights in October: the 8th, 15th, and 22nd.  Please come along and join us in person at these special events!

Ardin and Jonathan welcome their producer Mariah (aka “She Who Must Be Obeyed”) for a conversation about Gen Z, uni life, and the social cost of discipleship.

After our longest hiatus yet, our hosts are back from the dead and better than ever!  The good news for them is that you don't need to be wiser than Solomon (although we know who is!) to host a podcast, you just need a story.  And everyone has one -- even Ardin.
So join Ardin and Jonathan as they share what you may have missed: Jonathan's recovery, our new pastor on board, the fruit of the Oxygen Conference and our upcoming Outback Bush Dance.  
PLUS, Ardin has been banned from bringing on new guests. Listen to find out why! Hint: It has something to do with Mariah, our wizard of Oz.

Are religion and science in conflict? Is there coherence between the natural and spiritual worlds? Questions like these troubled the mind of a young atheist scholar named Sarah Irving, leading here to experience an 'intellectual vertigo' that exposed a secular belief that couldn't withstand her moral intuition. 

Join Ardin and Jonathan as they sit down with Dr. Sarah Irving-Stonebraker, author, speaker and historian at Australian Catholic University. 

Although KYCK is now behind us, an important question for the church remains: how do we sustain this amazing breakthrough for our youth? Join us as Ardin and Jonathan invite the one and only L-T Hopper (Director of Church Partnership and Content for KCC) to discuss faith, conferences and transformation.
PLUS: how to win the respect of kids (Mariokart edition).

A celebrity in our congregation? From Nepal Idol to the Australian army, Ardin and Jonathan are in for a surprise with WDBC's hidden gem Yubi Tiwari. Tune in as Yubi shares the power of prayer, the beauty of a 2 day hike as well as the struggles and transformation from taking a leap of faith.
BONUS: unplugged acapella (no auto-tune!) 

Who knew a chapel sermon could turn into a 2 week continuous worship session? Join us as Barry Shafer (Elder, Hospice Chaplain, and Founder of InWord Ministries) takes us behind the world known phenomenon of the Absury Revival. In this episode, Barry gets real with us about life, sickness, the pit of suffering, hypocritical love.  Plus, Barry tells us the moment he discovered he was a "functioning self-aholic."

BONUS: How he got out of the "friendzone" after 10 years!
