Get ready to crank up the good vibes on All The Waves! This month, we're talking to two local legends who know how to get a crowd moving. First up: Ricky Windhorst, aka “Big Easy Rick.” A Louisiana Music Hall of Famer (thanks to his days with the J.J. Muggler Band) and the frontman of festival favorite Four Unplugged, Ricky's been rocking the Northshore with high-energy classic rock and funk for years. He recently dropped his first solo album, Lucky Dog — seven original songs packed with that unmistakable New Orleans flavor. Ricky shares why the St. Tammany music scene hits different and his favorite spots to catch a live show. Then, meet Fadra White, one half of the powerhouse sister duo leading Soul Revival. With 20+ years of high-energy performances across Southeast Louisiana, Soul Revival's fanbase — their loyal "Soulmates" — and a 2024 Musical Artist of the Year award prove they know how to throw a serious party. Fadra (yes, sister to co-host Zondra!) talks about their musical roots, a career that once took them to Carnegie Hall, and the real story behind their most unforgettable moment onstage. Their motto? “We turn their party into our party.”

MINI-SERIES: The Strategy of Community GroupsJoel, Tim, and Joey take a deep dive into the strategy of community groups, exploring how different churches structure them and why they are a vital part of discipleship. They begin with a cultural artefact from Freya India's appearance on Modern Wisdom, discussing Gen Z's shifting views on faith, the gender divide in religious engagement, and the loneliness crisis—especially among men. With more people searching for meaning and connection, they consider how the church can offer genuine community and firm foundations through small groups.From there, they examine various approaches to small groups, including Saddleback Church's 5Cs model from the church growth movement and Soul Revival's intergenerational approach. Does going smaller always mean going deeper? How do different age groups enrich or challenge group dynamics? They explore the value of moderate intergenerationality, where both mixed-age and demographic-specific groups play a role in spiritual growth.Finally, they unpack the process of planting and leading community groups, emphasising that leadership carries weighty responsibilities in teaching, pastoral care, and discipleship. What makes a good community group leader? How do character, conviction, and competency shape leadership? By fostering strong, intentional communities, small groups become more than just midweek meetings—they become vital spaces for people to grow in faith and serve together as the body of Christ.00:00 Intro and discussion of the Beilharz name02:03 CULTURAL ARTEFACT: Freya India on the Modern Wisdom podcast24:14: Different churches have different strategies with small groups35:59 Making small groups intergenerational51:38 A process of group leadershipDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEWhy Modern Women Feel More Lost Than Ever - Freya IndiaGIRLS (Freya India Substack)The Atlantic's Editor Jeffrey Goldberg on How He Was Texted Secret War Plans on SignalThe Need for Adults, by Freya IndiaCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

MINI-SERIES: The Theology of Community Groups. While Stu is away, Joey joins Joel and Tim to chat about the Theology-Strategy-Practice of Community Groups...They kick things off with a discussion on Cantopop and Mandopop, as Joey shares his experience attending Eason Chan's Fear & Dreams concert. From there, they shift gears to explore small groups—how they have developed in churches and what their names reveal about their purpose. They consider the influence of the seeker-sensitive movement from churches like Willow Creek and Saddleback, as well as missional communities from the UK. The key question emerges: What are small groups actually forming? Is it about the activity itself, or something deeper?They then dive into the theology of community groups, questioning whether small groups are truly the only way for Christians to grow deeper in their faith. Joey draws from Colossians 2:6 to highlight the role of God's Word in spiritual growth, while Tim challenges the assumption that weekend church and midweek groups are the only effective pattern. If the gospel is inherently corporate, then mission and discipleship should go hand in hand.This leads into a discussion on Soul Revival's core values and how they influence small groups, starting with The Bible is the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12). Rather than treating Bible study like a book club, they emphasise that the same Spirit who inspired Scripture is alive in the hearts and minds of believers today. They also explore Prayer & Evangelism (Colossians 4:2) and Discipleship to Maturity (Matthew 28:19), emphasising how the smaller group setting creates space for deeper conversations that help people grow in Christ.Finally, they ask: Why might Christians hesitate to go deeper? Small groups act as a holy interruption to our weeks, encouraging accountability and fellowship. When people prioritse the time, they not only grow as disciples but also as friends. They conclude with another of Soul Revival's values—Worship as All of Life (Romans 12:1-2, Luke 9:23-24), reflecting on how meeting together regularly helps believers resist the patterns of the world and live out their faith more fully.00:00 Intro03:15 CULTURAL ARTEFACT: Eason Chan's Fear & Dreams tour08:45 Small groups and their name17:20 The theology of small groups28:10 Meeting together means something37:26 Growing deeper with others48:25 Worship as all of lifeDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEEason ChanMary's Chip Lunch:Episode 161Episode 162Seeker sensitive movementSoul Revival Church's valuesCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

MINI-SERIES: Part 2 of our sneak peek of Berea as Stu continues the first tutorial from the Berea Internship.Churches may share the same faith, but their theology, strategy, and practice often differ. They begin by using the Wesleyan Quadrilateral (Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience) as a diagnostic tool to assess how churches develop their ministry frameworks. What does it truly mean to build a ministry that is based on the Bible? And when tough decisions arise, what do churches and individuals default to—what is their ultimate authority?They then explore the different strategies of churches by looking at how different churches raise up young people using Mark Senter III's Four Views of Youth Ministry. From there, they examine how churches move from theology to practice. Stu draws on Little Country Church by Lovesong to illustrate how churches can come together around Jesus through the Word of God, rather than rigid institutional programs. They discuss how some churches institutionalise practice, while others, with a theological authority and a strong strategy can have a flexible practice.Finally, Tim challenges listeners to assess their own ministry framework—send in your responses!!00:00 Recognising churches are different11:10 What authority do you default to?18:23 Thinking through strategic differences among churches25:09 Examining different practices of churches37:25 Tim's challenge to our listenersDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEThe Wesleyan QuadrilateralThe Four Views of Youth Ministry, by Mark Senter IIICONTACT USShock Absorber EmailShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

MINI-SERIES: Get a taster for what Berea is like as Stu runs the first tutorial from the Berea Internship.As Saturday Night Live celebrates its 50th anniversary, the guys explore how institutions evolve, questioning how ideas can be institutionalised while still remaining relevant over time.Stu then starts up the Berea tutorial with a deep dive into ministry frameworks, beginning with Berea's spiral method of learning—where content is introduced in layers, revisited, and explored more deeply over time. The key question: What does it look like to develop a ministry framework? Rather than prescribing what to think, he emphasises how to think about ministry, recognising that every church—whether intentionally or not—operates within a particular framework.The question is what is Jesus' Theology-Strategy-Practice. Looking at Matthew 22:37-40 and the parable of the Good Samaritan, we get an insight into how the Soul Revival ministry began. Instead of running a culturally relevant program, they shifted to a countercultural model—prioritising deep, relationships that have been won for us by Christ. It led to an important realisation: rather than institutionalising programs and ideas, their ministry should institutionalise friendships. Drawing from Bonhoeffer's vision of expanding friendships, they explore how discipleship flourishes when relationships are at the core of Christian community.Looking at history, they discuss how discipleship and mission thrived in multi-generational settings and critique the Homogeneous Unit Principle, which often led to generational gaps and people leaving the church. Instead, they advocate for a ministry framework rooted in inclusivity, relational discipleship, and a mission that extends across all ages and life stages.00:00 Intro01:21 CULTURAL ARTEFACT: Saturday Night Live turns 5011:20 Berea begins: What is your ministry framework?19:15 What is Jesus's Theology-Strategy-Practice?34:56 Challenging the paradigm of friendship40:53 Generation gaps and losing people from churchDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE“SNL50” Brought the Stars, Nostalgia, and More Questions About the FutureMore Cowbell SketchMonty Python and the Holy GrailBlack Jeopardy with Tom Hanks - SNLCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

Presented by New World Artists, Diesel, alongside Vez and Moloney, will resume the Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour this March in Warragul, followed by Melbourne, Launceston, Hobart, Perth, Batemans Bay, Newcastle, Sydney, Wyong, Adelaide with proceedings drawing to a close on Saturday, May 3 in Elizabeth.The two set performance showcases Diesel's impressive career spanning over three decades, with boundless energy and vitality infused into every song, old and new, the audience will be treated to an unforgettable experience shared with music lovers nationwide. “With so much material to draw from, I'm excited to blend new songs with classics,” Diesel shares. “We make quite a bit of sound for a three-piece, and each show will reflect that energy!” Fans can expect a dynamic set list featuring perennial favourites like Tip Of My Tongue, Soul Revival, All Come Together, Man Alive, Never Miss Your Water and Cry In Shame, alongside “new family member” tracks from Bootleg Melancholy.Diesel is also excited to announce an exclusive guitar giveaway with long-standing partner, Fender. Every ticket purchased for the 2025 Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour —including those who have already purchased tickets—will automatically go into the draw to WIN a signed Squire Sonic Stratocaster Electric Guitar, there's one guitar to be won at every show. At the conclusion of the tour, Diesel will personally draw a major prize winner, who will receive a one-on-one Zoom guitar lesson with the Australian legend—a truly unique and exciting opportunity for fans and aspiring musicians alike.One of Australia's greatest success stories, Diesel, has spent three decades weaving his one-of-a-kind musical magic into his rock and blues-fuelled sounds, both as part of the band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors and, more recently, as a solo artist. With multiple #1 ARIA charting albums under his belt, six ARIA award wins and millions of streams alongside a legion of fans, Diesel's creative skillset also expands beyond his own projects, with the talented artist also renowned for his work as a producer and multi-instrumentalist.HEAVY caught up with Diesel on the eve of the first show to find out more. Given the amount of touring Diesel has done throughout his career, we ask if he still gets the same enjoyment out of life on the road."There are some things that I've become more aware of that I don't like," he measured "The good thing about that is you become more aware. You can let it bother you or become more aware of it and… accept, maybe, or take steps to try and avoid. That's the good thing about experience, I suppose. When you first start you just go 'why does that happen?' or 'what do you mean?' Now, I wouldn't say that there's very few variables or surprising things. I think the most challenging thing (laughs)… let's get down to the basics. Watching the carousel go around and your gear doesn't come out. That's always a good start to the day (laughs). Which has happened. Then you think, okay, call this person. Call that person. Call music stores. You start begging and borrowing and then you have to calculate it's gonna come on that flight, but will it make it to the gig in time for the crew? This is all things that have happened, and the crowd, they're not to know. it's not their problem. That's always the biggest challenges. You always allow enough time, of course, but then it becomes like a sliding scale. How much time can you allow because you've got commitments before that and it's also the massive expense of going the day before and things like that. So you've got everyone on hold and you have accommodation and cars for an extra day. These are all big factors for a touring party."In the full interview, Diesel discusses the Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour in more detail, what to expect, the performance time over two sets, balancing each setlist, the other members of his touring band, how to win a signed Squire Sonic Stratocaster Electric Guitar at each show, future music and more including a few music and life lessons learnt along the way.Tickets and more information www.diesel.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

MINI-SERIES: The PRACTICE of in-house ministry training with Joel, Tim and Stu.As the next Federal election approaches, political leaders in Australia have started appearing on podcasts to connect with voters in a more direct and unfiltered way. But how does this approach compare to political campaigning in the United States? They explore the differences between the Australian and US election strategies, looking at how media engagement, party structures, and voter outreach shape the way campaigns unfold in each country.Shifting gears, they take a deep dive into the Practice of Berea, Soul Revival Church's internal training ministry that has recently undergone a re-structure. Designed to help people grow in faith, theological understanding, and leadership capacity, the re-tooling of Berea has been developed through collaboration while building on the strong foundations of previous training efforts. The new structure consists of three delivery elements—Essentials, Next Steps, and Deep Dives—which function as a kind of catechism for Soul Revival Church. The goal is to create a clear and accessible pathway for people to deepen their faith, understand the church's theological distinctions as an Anglican community, and find meaningful ways to serve.They also break down what the Next Steps stage looks like in practice, which is focused on training for service teams and developing practical skills that enhance leadership and ministry involvement. By creating a structured system that supports people at all levels, Berea aims to help individuals know where they are in their faith journey and providing an accessible point of entry.Looking to the future, they discuss how this new approach will strengthen relationships, grow the church community, grow a cohesive leadership culture and expand leadership teams00:00 Intro01:21 CULTURAL ARTEFACT: Australian political leaders on podcasts15:49 Breaking down the new Berea structure28:39 Building a training system for all service teams34:24 Growing a cohesive leadership cultureDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE'If you think it's biased, it is biased': Albanese and Dutton turn to podcasts ahead of electionStraight Talk - Anthony AlbaneseStraight Talk - Peter Dutton1960 U.S. Presidential Debate (JFK v Nixon)John Howard & Mark Latham handshakeJeremy's Chip Lunch episodeCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

MINI-SERIES: Tim, Joel and Stu use Berea as a way of investigating the strategy of in-house ministry training.This episode begins with the launch of Tim's book, The Child in God's Church, which explores theologically integrating children into the life of the church. Rather than seeing young people as a future project or a problem to solve, the discussion emphasises that they are already part of the church today. This shift in perspective shapes how discipleship and involvement of children and young people in the body of Christ take place.A key aspect of the discussion is Berea, Soul Revival's internal ministry training hub, which was designed as an affordable and flexible model to supplement further theological study, disciple people publicly, and foster a collaborative approach to ministry. Berea was where the idea of the Shock Absorber originated, and embraces a teaching model that de-emphasises the expert and allows both top-down and bottom-up contributions. It creates a space where younger people can actively shape ministry while also learning alongside their leaders. By prioritising relationships over rigid institutional structures, Berea ensures that Soul Revival's culture is passed through generations while remaining firmly rooted in biblical truths and traditional church expressions.The discussion explores the importance of the third place strategy and engaging in training content within the context of community. Ministry is not only about imparting knowledge but also about creating spaces where people can wrestle with and apply theological ideas together.This approach has shaped Soul Revival from its early days, where the permission to explore new ideas became foundational. Berea now functions as the Shock Absorber of the church, balancing tradition with innovation. Drawing inspiration from movements like L'Abri, the 1960s social revolutions at Berkeley, and the Jesus Movement, it fosters an environment where young people's desire and ability to enact change can be harnessed within a biblical framework.Through an emphasis on Christian conviction, character, and competency, Berea unites generations in an ongoing conversation about what it means to be faithful Christians in today's world and acts as a safeguard for the church's teaching. Rather than simply replacing thought leadership over time, this model sustains it—preserving the gospel while allowing each generation to engage with it in meaningful ways.00:00 Intro and Tim's recently launched book: The Child in God's Church14:29 A strategy of in-house ministry training27:40 Embracing third place community in training32:53 The designer of holistic church strategy43:01 Continuing thought leadership rather than replacing itDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEGet The Child in God's ChurchYouthworksKoorongThe Wandering BooksellerAmazonAppleThe Coming Revolution in Youth Ministry, by Mark Senter IIIBerkeley in the SixtiesCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

MINI-SERIES: Tim, Joel and Stu chat Theology-Strategy-Practice for internal ministry training, based off Soul Revival's which is called Berea. They explore why teaching how to think—rather than what to think—is essential for Christian discipleship.They begin by unpacking Apple's controversial Crush ad for the iPad Pro, which sparked backlash for its destruction of cultural artefacts. The discussion moves beyond the ad itself to the broader issue of cultural erasure—how progressive movements often attempt to reset culture by dismissing the past. Historically, new ideas were met with skepticism, but in today's world, rapid cultural shifts are often embraced without question. Has Apple, once the disruptor, now become just another institution enforcing its own version of progress? And how do we prevent against the institutionalisation of ideas in the church?From there, the conversation shifts to the importance of internal training ministries within churches. Why should churches invest in spaces where people can wrestle with ideas rather than simply be told what to believe? This leads to the story of Berea, a ministry that began in Stu's house over 20 years ago. Inspired by the Jesus Movement of the 1960s, social movements out of Berkeley, and the intellectual community of L'Abri in Switzerland, Berea was built on the idea of setting aside time to ask, What does it look like to be a Christian today? and How should that shape ministry?The hosts then explore the core idea of Berea—focusing on how to think biblically while remaining grounded in Christian convictions. They discuss how bureaucracies often spread ideas while losing sight of founding principles, a problem that applies just as much to ministry as it does to government. Instead of institutionalising church practices, what if discipleship was built around relationships with God and each other? What if, rather than relying on structured courses and programs, churches created spaces where Christians could sit, read, and think deeply about Scripture? By reclaiming the pre-industrial revolution model of learning through apprenticeship, Berea has helped many rethink their theological convictions—sometimes even leading them to leave Soul Revival in love.Finally, they reflect on the ongoing nature of spiritual growth. Christians are called to continually expand their thoughts, affections, and feelings toward God. Learning doesn't stop—it's a lifelong pursuit.00:00 Intro and CULTURAL ARTEFACT: Apple's iPad Pro ad: Crushed18:47 Why even have an internal training ministry?20:42 The genesis of Berea43:06 How to think, not what to think01:28:00 We are called to never stop growingDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODECrush! | iPad Pro | AppleSocial media minimum age legislation passedThe Coming Revolution in Youth Ministry, by Mark Senter IIIThe Great Evangelical Disaster, by Francis SchaefferCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

Is this a Bob Dylan or a Jesus Christ Superstar moment?From there, they dive into the often-quoted observation that 20% of the people in church do 80% of the work. Why is it critical to talk about who is serving in the body of Christ, and how can churches value people beyond just their contributions?They share how Soul Revival Church has intentionally moved away from a professionalised or approach to ministry teams and instead embraced the idea of “ministry as mates”—where friendship is foundational to serving together. When inviting someone to join a ministry, the question isn't “Can you fill this role?” but “Do you want to be friends with us?”They discuss how Soul Revival's 10 service teams operate across seven gatherings, balancing a hybrid model of generalist and specialist pastor ministry models. They explain how this structure—organised by the Soul Revival Council—creates a space for volunteers to serve well without turning church into another workplace. At Soul Revival, friendship is the cultural engine that powers everything from preventing burnout to building a vision of Christian community that loves and serves together.Finally, they take a deep dive into the logistics: how the coordinator model and ministry pairs allow service teams to grow organically, scaling from small beginnings to larger expressions of ministry.

Starting with cultural artefacts, debating the depiction of AI in fiction versus reality and sharing stories about our favorite libraries, setting the stage for a discussion on deeper societal reflections.Next, they explore insights from a chapter of Stu's PhD, focusing on how the church can influence each other's social life by allowing Jesus to guide our friendships and placing the Bible at the forefront. This leads them to reflect on the explicitly Christian approach of partnering with Jesus as He grows the church, emphasising spiritual growth over mere social or organisational efficiency.The discussion then shifts to church strategy. Are churches open to reevaluating their methods and finding their 'light bulb moment'? They explore the idea of embracing 'otherness'—building friendships across differences rather than settling in being pleasant strangers. By leaning into the concept of church as a 'third place' community, they consider how such inclusivity can bring glory to God. Instead, they propose a relational approach to ministry—doing it as friends—which, in today's culture, might seem counter-cultural to even Christians.Finally, they look at whether efficiency should be the core metric in measuring Christian ministry. and offer an alternative that has served Soul Revival well, where 70-80% of the congregation actively serves in it's 10 ministry teams: serving together as friends.

MINI-SERIES: Young People in the Church [PRACTICE]In this episode, Joel and Tim dive into the critical importance of practice in youth and children's ministry, exploring its role within Soul Revival's Theology-Strategy-Practice framework. They discuss how churches can be an essential pillar of stability for young people, providing relationships and networks that foster genuine community.They unpack the ways Christians have uncritically adopted industrialised models of faith formation and psycho-social development within church. They challenge the notion that children's faith is "incomplete" and argue that we're not waiting for kids to become Christians — they are fully part of the Kingdom and have a faith of their own.They also explore three of Soul Revival's key practices in youth and children's ministry as examples, youth leadership, leadership training and Kids Chill. These practices illustrate how fostering relational stability and a village-like community can help form faith more effectively. Ultimately, they emphasise that it takes a village not just to raise children, but to raise all of us, highlighting the need to reclaim community and relational stability within the church through Shock Absorber principles.00:00 Intro02:40 CULTURAL ARTEFACT: Primary school concerts07:57 Institutionalised transition points created by schooling16:58 Faith formation has been uncritically mapped onto our industrialised society35:03 Breaking down some of Soul Revival youth and children's Practices58:30 Recapturing "It takes a village to raise a child"DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEIt Takes a Church to Raise a Parent, by Rachel TurnerCONTACT US:Shock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

MINI-SERIES: Young People in the Church [STRATEGY]In this episode of The Shock Absorber Podcast, Joel, Stu, and Tim explore the critical importance of strategy in youth and children's ministry as part of our Theology-Strategy-Practice framework. Strategy isn't optional—it's essential for creating meaningful, lasting ministry impact. Without it, churches risk creating transient, hollow experiences for young people, with disastrous consequences.After briefly reflecting on the movie Hidden Figures, the team delves into why having a clear strategy is often overlooked and why its absence can have a devastating effect on both young people's faith and the wider church community. A major issue is the transience often modeled to young people, which can destabilize their sense of commitment and support during transitional periods of life.The episode concludes with a discussion on how an intergenerational approach, including age-specific and family ministry, can bring stability. They explore how the Shock Absorber model of top-down and bottom-up ministry empowers young people to contribute to the church while drawing on the Biblical wisdom of older generations.00:00 Intro04:08 CULTURAL ARTEFACT: Hidden Figures08:00 Strategy matters, it's not incidental18:47 No youth strategy can result in disastrous consequences27:22 Modelled transience is the problem32:48 Avoid a transient, hollowed out expression of church44:51 Age specific and family ministry belongs within church strategy51:19 Ministry that's top down and bottom up [The Shock Absorber]DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEThe Rest is History, America in '68The Trial of the Chicago 7Hidden FiguresSteve John video on youth pastorsCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

Tim, Stu and Joel get together to discuss Soul Revival's strategy behind having meals at every Soul Revival gathering.After reminiscing on some food memories, namely finger food and meals at Soul Revival when it was a youth community, they get into the "how" of meals. They explore what it means to spend meaningful time together—by preparing and sharing meals, which feels counter-cultural in today's fast-paced world and most churches. The theology of serving in response to the Gospel is the heart of the strategy, where preparing and serving a meal is an example of being a living sacrifice, putting into practice the command of “love in action” from Romans 12.As church attendances in Australia continue to decrease and interactions become event-focused and short-lived, they examine how meals are an expression of church where non-Christians can be invited to rather than exporting discipleship off the main gathering through Bible studies and mission via courses.They wrap up the discussion with some thoughts on the joy of serving together as friends under Jesus.03:11 CULTURAL ARTEFACT: 70's finger food and fellowship teas12:32 Memories of sharing meals together20:34 Preparing meals requires costly discipleship34:07 Meals an expression of church to invite non-Christians to (Acts 2)46:45 Mix of regulars and irregulars form a community 55:27 The joy in service under JesusDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEStop Googling, Let's Talk (7 minute conversations)Oldenburg's Third Place TheoryAustralian Evangelical Perspectives on Youth Ministry [Tim on Oldenburg's Third Place Theory]CONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here

In this episode of the Shock Absorber, Stu, Tim, and Joel delve into the theology behind incorporating meals into all Soul Revival gatherings. They explore the practical and spiritual significance of sharing meals, grounded in the spiritual calling that we are called to be living sacrifices, expressing unity in Christ and serving one another. What begins with a discussion on the Hindenburg (05:23) turns into the question of whether the theology of meals is prescriptive or descriptive in Scripture (15:15). This leads to an examination of Paul's exhortation in Romans 12 to offer ourselves as living sacrifices and the role of meals in expressing that calling (21:45). This includes how sharing meals is not about satisfying hunger, rather about fostering unity and carrying each other's burdens (31:49). Finally, they close with a call to transform our thinking to be living sacrifices, prioritising serving others over being served at church (46:51).DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEThe Hidden Hindenburg: The Untold Story of the Tragedy, the Nazi Secrets, and the Quest to Rule the Skies, by Michael McCarthy V-1 flying bombV-2 rocketHindenburg DisasterThe Anxious Generation, by Jonathan HaidtPatch AdamsCONTACT USShock Absorber Email: joel@shockabsorber.com.auShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here
