The Vocational Minister's hopeful students will flood back to polytechs after the model is de-centralised. Staff-to-student ratios are still lower than they were in 2016, despite staff numbers being slashed by 8.2%. Penny Simmonds says low ratios signal financial trouble. She told Mike Hosking student numbers have dropped by 11,000 since Te Pukenga was established in 2020. Simmonds says the Government's working hard to get student numbers up and viable again.

Episode 99. Bonus  For this Bonus episode, I've invited two British women, Lindsay Simmonds and Julie Siddiqi, both PhDs, to talk about their interfaith friendship and the public facing work they've done since Hamas' attack on Israel on 7 Oct. 2023. Lindsay is an Orthodox Jew and Julie is Muslim. The fact of their religious identities and deep practice is noteworthy and relevant, as the attack and subsequent war, have proven polarizing, straining the already challenging work of bridging religious differences between Jews and Muslims. Lindsay and Julie offer an inspiring example of possibility, showing us the path to connection, communication, and healing, while not shying away from the challenges. Given the long standing and apparent intransigence of the conflict, this seemed a good time for some hope.Highlights: Intersection of deep faith practice and interfaith work.Organizing inclusive events amidst tension.Impact and significance of their work.The role of space, gender, and representation.Trivializing women's impactful initiatives.Sustaining hope and setting intentions for the future. Bios:  Dr. Lindsay Simmonds is a Research Fellow at the London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS) where she has lectured for 20+ years. She recently worked as a Researcher at the London School of Economics (LSE), UK, working on Women of Faith and Peacebuilding.Lindsay is very active in local interfaith work. She has five adult children and five grandchildren, and she promotes women's participation in her local orthodox Jewish community in London. Dr. Julie Siddiqi MBE is a mentor, consultant and gender equality campaigner with a focus on interfaith relations, applying that to social work. She has 25+ years of experience in community work predominantly in the Muslim community as well as in interfaith work. Julie is a qualified Life Coach. She was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List of 2020 and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Middlesex. She chose Islam in 1995 and is married with four children. Other episodes:Raphael Luzon Building Peace Through Interfaith DialogueLindsay Simmonds Honoring and Challenging Jewish Orthodoxy Links for Lindsay:  London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS)LSE, Religion and Global Society UnitAbraham Initiatives, UK Council of Christians & Jews Links for Julie: Together We ThriveTranscript on BuzzsproutLinks for Méli:Website – the Talking with God ProjectMeli's emailLinkedIn – Meli SolomonFacebook – Meli SolomonFollow the podcast!The Living Our Beliefs podcast is part of the Talking with God Project.

There's an expectation it will take two years to get the number of international students in vocational education back to pre-Covid levels. There were about 75-thousand international students in New Zealand last year - 40% less than a peak in 2016. Vocational Minister Penny Simmonds says told Ryan Bridge centralising Polytech's into Te Pukenga is a big factor, as it caused a financial mess. She says it's been a nightmare, which is being unpicked. Te Pukenga is being disestablished by January, with power then going back to individual Polytech's.

In Episode 5 of our Holy Spirit series, Tom O'Toole and Tim Simmonds explore how the Spirit empowers mission, not just meetings. They reflect on the difference between ‘glamour stories' and the quiet, everyday work of the Spirit in family and church life. From spiritual gifts to worship, preaching, and communion, how do we move from knowledge to encounter? What does it mean to meet with God now, not just remember how He moved in the past? They also discuss giving leaders space to grow and the kind of church culture that helps people draw closer to God and go further in mission.

On todays podcast, I speak with 1 RAR / Australian Special Forces SASR regiment veteran Troy Simmonds. Troy had a decorated career that included deployments to Somalia, East Timor, Iraq, and Afghanistan, he was also a member of the domestic counterterrorism team TAG West. As a kid, Troy always wanted to join the SAS after being given a book when he was little. Troy joined the army in 1991. Troys dream became a reality when he was selected to join the Perth-based SAS Regiment in 1996. Troy joined the SASR during one of the most operationally active periods of its history. As well, he was a member of TAG for the Sydney Olympics in 2000. In 2008, while in 3 SQN, Troy was the Patrol Commander of the lead patrol in the battle, known as the Battle of Khas Uruzgan, which was one of the bloodiest engagements involving Australian troops during the Afghanistan campaign. Nine in his team of thirteen were wounded in action against a Taliban force of over 150 over the 2-hour battle. It would result in one of Troy's team, Mark Donaldson, being awarded Australia's first Victoria Cross in 40 years. Troy was wounded three times in that furious battle and still has a Taliban bullet in his pelvis today. In 2012, after 22 years of service, Troy discharged from the Army. In post-service life, Troy now works as a Safety manager for an international offshore marine company. Troy was President of the Western Australian branch of the Australian SAS Association. Currently, he is Assistant National Secretary of the SAS Association National Executive. Troy is deeply involved and passionate about the challenges and opportunities faced by veterans.

This sermon was preached by Tim Simmonds at the Reddish site of Christ Church Manchester on Sunday 18th May 2025.

In this episode, Tom O'Toole and Tim Simmonds explore the messy middle of charismatic church culture. Where awe, awkwardness, emotion and expectation collide. They talk honestly about discomfort in spiritual spaces, navigating the weird and the wonderful, and learning to pray with faith (without the caveats). From stories of physical encounters with the Holy Spirit to the challenge of worshipping freely in a British church context, this episode wrestles with how we experience God, and how not to lose sight of Him amid the noise. They also reflect on: • The impact of growing up in charismatic churches • Cultural baggage around worship styles • Praying for parking spaces vs praying for healing • The risks of hype vs shame • Encouraging gifts without replicating hype Real talk, raw reflections, and lots to chew on.

In this preach, Matt Simmonds explores Exodus 17 and the story of Israel's battle against Amalek. It emphasises how God's people, though delivered from slavery, still face attacks from external enemies, symbolising the kind of spiritual battles believers face today. Matt highlights the tactics of the enemy - attacking at moments of weakness and rest - and draws parallels to how the enemy works in our lives. The sermon teaches that victory comes through prayer, remembering God's past faithfulness, and standing together in community. Ultimately, it points to Jesus' decisive victory on the cross, encouraging us as believers to fight spiritual battles not with our own strength but by relying on Christ's finished work.

In this episode, Tom O'Toole and Tim Simmonds dive into what prophetic culture looks like in the Church today, and how we can make space for the miraculous, even in small, local church settings. They explore how to nurture healthy prophecy, build faith for signs and wonders without hype, and keep the focus on what the Holy Spirit wants to do in everyday church life.

This sermon was preached by Tim Simmonds at the Reddish site of Christ Church Manchester on Sunday 4th May 2025, from 2 Corinthians 8:1-9.

In this second episode of our Holy Spirit series, Tom O'Toole and Tim Simmonds explore what it looks like to be open to the Holy Spirit in the Church today. Tim reflects on both the challenges and encouraging signs he sees across the UK church, from generational shifts and spiritual openness to the influences from the USA and the rise in cultural spirituality. They talk honestly about the baggage some carry from past ministry moments, how to navigate cynicism (especially in British culture), and how churches can encourage environments where the Spirit can move freely again. They discuss “Think the Best” culture at Christ Church Manchester, and how a fresh move of God may look very different to the ones we've seen before.

In this brand new podcast series from the Broadcast Network, Tom O'Toole sits down with Tim Simmonds, senior pastor of Christ Church Manchester, to talk all things Holy Spirit. Together they reflect on past moves of God, including movements like the Toronto Blessing, and ask how the Church has generally changed since the 90s. What does it mean to lead when many younger leaders have never experienced a move of God in their lifetime? Tim shares his prophetic vision for “replumbing the house” so the Spirit can move freely, the lessons learned post-lockdown, and the importance of starting new prayer meetings, and giving them names. They also explore the charismatic/traditional church divide, their frustration with performative spirituality, and the challenge of building a multi-site church that genuinely serves different communities across Manchester.

My long-time friend, Peter Scott Ruben, is the best guitar player I know, having personally watched him jam with some of the great rock and blues musicians of the seventies (Joe Perry in his pre-Aerosmith days and Kim Simmonds of The Savoy Brown Blues Band are two who immediately come to mind -- I read that Simmonds died two years ago in England and the band had to break up after an amazing fifty-five year run). Since then, Peter has fronted his own bands, and has also carried on his father's legacy as leader of the premier special events orchestra/band in Philadelphia, through which he met "the great one," Frank Sinatra, at a White House gig the orchestra was playing during the Reagan administration back in the 1980's. He also donned a wig a few years ago and played as Eric Clapton in a Cream tribute concert (and I seem to recall he even played a set as Jimmi Hendrix). In addition to his amazing playing, he knows way more about music than anyone in my social orbit so, now that he has embarked on an Act 3 career performing a Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin one-man tribute show (having bought performing rights to the original Nelson Riddle and other Sinatra/Darin charts), I thought it would be fun to pick his brain here on Pizza Quest regarding why he thinks Sinatra is the greatest performer of all time as well as to see if together we could create a top ten list as well as a Mt. Rushmore top four list of the greatest of the greats. It was so much fun recording this episode -- as you will see and hear -- that I plan on inviting him back to do a similar retrospective on the greatest guitar players and also another on the best bands and performing groups of our time.  Peter and I used to stay up all night during our college days talking about stuff like this, so I know he's game for it, as you will hear in this conversation in which we explore not only Sinatra's greatness but also dive deeply into the why and how of what made him the GOAT (and why Bobby Darin was the prince in waiting until he died way too young). So, as we like to say, it's more about the quest than it is about the pizza, and this time around we jump into Peter Ruben's quest for what distinguishes the good from the great when it comes to musical artists. The topic may have changed, but the game remains the same -- and the quest never ends....

O teste positivo da triatleta Suíça Imogen Simmonds surpreendeu a comunidade mundial do triathlon. A atual número 7 do mundo estava com contrato renovado para o T100 e as expectativas eram altas mas agora o futuro é incerto. Casos de contaminação cruzadas já aconteceram no esporte e falamos um pouco disso no MT News desta semana.

This week, we discuss the recent news that Imogen Simmonds tested positive for Ligandrol, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) known to enhance muscle mass and strength.  Simmonds has denied intentional use, attributing the positive test to intimate contact with her partner, who was unknowingly taking Ligandrol to improve his physique.  We explore the details of this case, its implications for her career, and the broader impact on the sport. We then sit down with Mike Phillips, the new Ironman New Zealand champion and course record holder, to hear how his race unfolded and what this result means for the rest of his season. Finally, we recap all the action from Ironman New Zealand, breaking down the key performances, race dynamics, and standout moments from Taupō.

Join the hosts as they uncover the story of 19-year-old Sian Simmonds, a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. In 1993, while living in Surrey, B.C, Sian discovered unsettling truths about a well-respected doctor, a man trusted by the community but hiding dark secrets beneath his white coat. Determined to take a stand, she refused to stay silent. But before she could get justice, she was silenced in a horrific way. The investigation into this doctor's past exposed something far worse than anyone had imagined—decades of abuse, victims left unheard, and a system that allowed him to continue for far too long.
