Too often people feel like they have to be perfect to go to church. But church was never meant to be a place for perfect people to gather. Today on Record Live, we’re talking with Pastor Toby Clare, who runs a community program called ‘Messy Church.’ Together, we will explore what it looks like to create a church culture where people can come and discover Jesus—just as they are.

Why does the Seventh-day Adventist Church meet together every five years? What happens and how do the elections work? The General Conference session starts at the end of next week. We talk with Dr Brad Kemp from Adventist Media, who is an experienced church administrator and knows a lot about the structure of the church, how election processes work and what we might be able to expect at this years GC Session. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm AEST, podcast Friday mornings.

Jesus said the kingdom belongs to those who become like children—but what does that look like? How do we grow and mature in our faith and as individuals while still maintaining childlikeness? Can mature faith and childlike faith co-exist?

Sometimes God places something on our heart that we don’t quite know what to do with. As a child, Krissie dreamed of becoming a missionary—but as she grew older, the path wasn’t clear. Doors didn’t open the way she expected, and she found herself working as a school teacher instead. Yet today, Krissie is living a life deeply rooted in mission. Join us on #RecordLive as we explore her journey of following God’s call, even when the odds seemed stacked against her. Catch us live at 4 pm (AEST) or listen on our podcast later in the week.

One might be forgiven for thinking that the answer to the question "is empathy a sin" is obvious.
