Every generation needs people willing to invest in the next. Dr Jean Carter, national director of Adventist Schools Australia, joins us on Record Live to explore how each of us can help shape young people’s lives—whether we’re teachers, Pathfinder leaders, or simply passionate about sowing into the next generation.

We chat with author Sukeshinie Goonatilleke about the amazing stories of women from the Reformation that she has included in her third book about the period.

We speak with Pastor David Riley about his new book "Bubsie and the boys", the incredible true story of two young, mission-minded Adventists who unintentionally became the first men to journey around Australia in a car. A project of passion, the adversity the book describes mirrors Pastor Riley's own challenges while completing the project, losing his daughter to cancer and now being diagnosed himself. You don't want to miss this conversation. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Podcast Friday mornings.
