Lauren Lucas looks at Jonah 4 and the three confronting questions God asks Jonah that expose a misaligned heart:- Are we more consumed with our own comfort than concerned for God's kingdom? - What makes us angry?- Are we avoiding the conversations God is trying to have with us? As we explore Jonah's anger, God's compassion, and His heart for a whole city, we're invited to let the Holy Spirit realign our hearts with God's heart and believe again for revival, reconciliation and a great awakening in our families, our communities and our nation.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

When life quietly revolves around our own comfort, even small disruptions can expose what our hearts are really centred on. This final message in our Jonah series sits in chapter 4, where Jonah's anger over a plant is held up against God's compassion for an entire city. As we hear God ask, “Is it right for you to be angry?”, we are invited to let the Spirit realign our telos from personal comfort to God's kingdom purpose and His heart for people.Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and also online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au

Jonah's story reminds us that God is a God of second chances, that no one is beyond His reach, and that He delights in using imperfect people to share His message. With nothing but eight simple words, Jonah walked into the great city of Nineveh, and God sparked one of the greatest spiritual revivals in Scripture.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

When sharing your faith feels intimidating, and you're tempted to think God only uses “spiritual experts,” Jonah 3 offers a different picture. In this message, we see how God takes Jonah's reluctant five-word sermon and sparks revival in Nineveh, not because Jonah is impressive but because God is gracious and already at work. We're invited to lay down our “not me, not them, not now” excuses and step into simple acts of obedience, trusting that God can use even small words to join His big mission.Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and also online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au

When it feels like you're in the belly of the fish, Jonah 2 reminds us that we can still come to God in prayer. In this message, we see that even in the lowest places, God hears us. And while we may not see the miraculous with our eyes straight away, prayer often changes our posture before it changes our circumstances. Jonah's cry from the depths reminds us of God's grace that meets us right where we are.Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and also online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au

HELLO MY SMILIES! Here is the link to book the last few spots in our magical Byron Bay 2026 retreat. And remember to subscribe over at passaroundthesmile.com to access our 20% storewide sale starting NOV 1 9am- NOV 3 - 9amIn this episode, we dive deep into the dance between intuition and fear and how to tell which one is guiding you.I unpack the difference between the two energies: how intuition feels calm, clear, and grounded, while fear feels noisy, urgent, and protective. We explore why our brains are wired to listen to fear first, and how to quiet the noise so we can hear that softer, wiser inner voice that's always been there.I also share three personal stories…. moments when I chose fear over intuition, and others when I trusted my gut and everything shifted. My hope is that through these stories, you'll start to recognise your own patterns and learn how to move with more trust, alignment, and confidence in your everyday decisions.If you've ever asked yourself, “Is this my intuition or just anxiety?” this one's for you.
On Grandparents' Day, at Gateway Susan Elsmore reminds that getting older is not about becoming irrelevant but about embracing the privilege of passing on wisdom, faith, and encouragement to those coming after us.

Since the very beginning, we have been a community that has known the call to be a lighthouse in the city. In our words and in our actions, we have sought to be faithful to the command of Christ to shine a light. Having a place in the heart of the city to proclaim the truth of Jesus practically share the love of Christ through care and hospitality (e.g. care ministries and international ministries) has been central to our existence. And our deepest desire is that this will only continue to grow as we seek to meet the growing practical and spiritual needs of Brisbane. -----------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au or join us on Sundays at gtwy.au/live

We also get into real estate side hustles, building partnerships outside of dentistry, and the importance of having income streams that work while you sleep. This is a must-listen for any orthodontist who's wondering if now is the time to play biggerQUOTES“If someone says they weren't scared building a practice like this—they're lying. I had to re-mortgage my house. But this dream had to come together.”— Dr. Vas Srinivasan“Side hustles are great. But please—don't do a restaurant. Don't do a nightclub.

Kick starting our Honour series, Andrew Mayne explores what it means to value and affirm one another as members of the body of Christ. Looking at Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12, we see how God calls us not to compete but to compliment each other, to treat every person with dignity and worth, and to live as contributors rather than consumers in His church. True honour flows from humility - lifting others up, celebrating their wins, and sharing their burdens so that together we flourish and Jesus' name is lifted high.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

God has called us as his people to invest our very lives into the heart of the city. In a context where others are transient and transactional, we have been called to live our lives, raise up the next generations, buy homes and find work in and around the city. Our presence matters deeply, because we bring the presence of God. In our workplaces. In our schools and universities. In the restaurants and shopping malls. On the streets. Our presence causes the city to prosper. Our commitment to be a permanent presence in the city matters deeply. As we make the commitment to live and share our lives in the city, we are proclaiming the life-giving good news of Jesus.-----------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au or join us on Sundays at gtwy.au/live
Writing to a church struggling under powerful forces, the last thing that you would imagine worthy of worship is a lamb! But that is exactly what is presented in John's vision. Again, utilizing this rich metaphor that is replete throughout Scripture, Johnpresents a lamb slain that makes a way for the scroll to be opened. What is this scroll? The book of life that records all names of those who are God's people. It is the death of the Lamb that makes a way for ‘persons from every tribe and language and people and nation'. This picture sets up a scene of absolute adoration, worship and praise. The death of Jesus has made a way. He is deserving of our worship.--------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au or join us on Sundays at gtwy.au/live
In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Astro Tash, and wow, this chat is packed with both cosmic wisdom and down-to-earth practicality.Try Tash's free birth chart here! P.s. the first 13 minutes is quite woo woo. I love it, but if it's too in depth for you, don't worry, we break it down from 13 min onwards. We start with a deep dive into October 2025. Tash unpacks the planetary shifts, what they mean for us personally, and how we can take advantage of the energy around us. We also explore the truth about Scorpio season....busting some common misconceptions and discovering how this transformative energy can support us all.From there, we get back to astrology basics and talk about:
God's story has always been bigger than we can imagine, and at the centre of it all stands the Lamb. From before creation to the cross and into eternity, Jesus is not just a symbol of God's love - He is love. In this message from Derek Peters, we see how the Lamb of God weaves through the whole story of Scripture, showing us that God doesn't stay distant - He joins us, redeems us, and invites us into His divine dance of love and unity.

Revelation is a stark and powerful picture of the battle that rages for our hearts and minds. But the wonderful news is that the Dragon and his beasts will not win. His fate is sealed.

This episode is a little FUN & different! I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own September challenge. I set myself three personal goals around career, money, and meditation, and created journal prompts to help me call these manifestations in within the month. Throughout the episode, I share openly the ups and downs I experienced, the changes I made when I realised I was stuck in negative ruts, and how quickly everything shifted when I decided to take aligned action. (P.s. I've ended up breaking this episode up into parts, as you'll see from the title! Part 2 will be coming soon and is me only a few days after this episode!)My hope is that this inspires you to create your own version of this challenge for October (or whatever month you're listening in). It's never too late to start fresh, reset your energy, and bring in the magic you've been craving. Isn't it refreshing and exciting to remember that WE HAVE A CHOICE?! EEEE! We literally hold the power to make positive change in our lives, and we can! Immediately.In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ How I identified the habits and thoughts that were holding me back✨ My three goals for the month ✨ The exact journal prompts I used to support my goals ✨ The instant shifts I noticed when I committed to change ✨ Why small, consistent steps can create big manifestationsThis episode is real, raw, and a reminder that you hold the power to create the momentum you've been waiting for.

Behind The Magic - Part 2! Here is my manifestation retreat link!! If you haven't already, I highly recommend listening to Part One first ~ it will give you all the context and inspo to dive into this series with me.In Part Two, we're only four days into September… and wow, this month already feels expansive. I share with you some incredible little miracles that have popped up already (yes, this is a full tell-all), as well as a hilariously embarrassing situation that I found myself in. But the best part? The way I responded to it ~ which actually turned out to be such a gift and a reminder of how quickly things can shift when you're open to growth.This series is all about showing you the real behind-the-scenes of manifestation ~ the good, the messy, and the magic. I honestly can't believe how much has happened in such a short time… and we're only just getting started. Stay tuned for Part Three!Spoiler alert - Things aren't as positive in part 3, ha! But I'm taking you along the journey and as always, I am being as realistic as I can as I know this helps you within your manifestation practices.Cleo xxx Visit Pass Around the Smile here!Join my Facebook community group here!Find me on Instagram@passaroundthesmile@cleomasseyFind me on Tik Tok@cleomassey_The Pass Around the Smile podcast is recorded on Bundjalung Country, in South East Queensland, Australia.

I'm back …. Already! Make sure you head back and listen to part 1 and 2 before this episode! This part was recorded on September 22, and is a check-in on where I'm really at in my monthly goal setting journey. After starting the month feeling expansive and aligned, I hit a point where I felt discouraged, uneasy, and honestly a little anxious. I even experienced the Sunday Scaries for the first time in years.I share openly about: ✨ The pressure I felt as the end of September approached ✨ How I slipped into controlling energy by obsessively checking analytics and my bank account ✨ The lies I started telling myself ~ that I wasn't capable, smart, or worthy enough ✨ What happens when we stop honouring ourselves and our goals ✨ Why divine timing and the universe's rhythm with time are so important to rememberThis is another tell-all episode ~ because I know how common it is to feel wobbly when you're working toward something big. My hope is that it reminds you you're not alone, and that the dips are part of the journey too. If you've ever felt the weight of your own expectations or the fear that you're not “enough,” this one's for you. Let it motivate you to keep going, trust divine timing, and continue honouring yourself on the way to your dreams. I'm SO excited to come back for a little ‘review' on this ‘behind the magic' series, which was a little accidental to be honest! Thank you so much for listening.

We find in the early chapters that John's Apocalypse is a letter that is written to seven churches in Asia Minor, but also a letter to be read aloud for all (and all are blessed in reading 1:3). Indeed, these are words of encouragement and challenge from Jesus himself. The call is for the Church, the Bride (19:7-8), to remain pure in the context of temptation and persecution, and to ultimately be victorious (5:5-6). The church in the Roman empire was under intense pressure. The emperors (e.g. Domitian, Nero) demanded absolute and singular worship. To not declare ‘Caesar as Lord' carried with it terrible physical, social and economic consequences. This was a question of ultimate allegiance: worship the Christian God or worship the Roman cult.---------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au or join us on Sundays at gtwy.au/live
Revelation has possibly become the most discussed and speculated on, if not the most controversial, of all books in the Bible. This is not that surprising, considering the incrediblyabstract literary images that are contained in this wonderful piece of writing. A four-week teaching series is not going to come close to answer all the questions that could be addressed, but what we can do is focus on the key characters and themes that we can find in this powerful book. Firstly, it is helpful to understand that Revelation is a mix of literary styles. It is a prophetic text following in the tradition of Old Testament prophets, it is an apocalyptic work full of symbolic imagery,and it is a situational letter written to a group of people living within the historical and societal context of the Roman Empire.-------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au or join us on Sundays at gtwy.au/live
