Megan Cope is a Quandamooka artist from Moreton Bay/North Stradbroke Island in South East Queensland. Her site-specific sculptural installations, public art practice and paintings investigate issues relating to colonial histories, the environment and mapping practices. In this conversation with Newcastle Art Gallery’s Head of Curatorial and Exhibitions, Miriam Kelly, Megan Cope discusses her living sculptures that draw on ancestral technologies and seek to heal saltwater environments. She also delves into the historical and ecological importance of oysters. This conversation was captured live at the Ngumpi Kinyingarra Oyster House during the New Annual Festival in Newcastle in September 2024. Presented as a temporary pavilion on the Honeysuckle Marina, Ngumpi Kinyingarra Oyster House hosted workshops, performances, talks, and even an oyster shucking competition! Thanks to an enthusiastic group of oyster shuckers from the community, this 'Scrub Club' saw over 4,875 oysters cleaned for use in a future work of art by Megan Cope. Conversations from the Collection is a Newcastle Art Gallery podcast.

Electricity prices have risen again across NSW, South Australia and South East Queensland following the latest default market offer increase, but some retailers are also using the changes to lift prices on supposedly more competitive market plans. Why is this happening, and why is it so difficult to get a better deal? Professor David Byrne, the Ritchie Chair of Economic Research at the University of Melbourne, explains how a handful of dominant retailers exploit consumer inertia and lack of transparency to maximise profits, and why even well-intentioned regulation has struggled to deliver truly fair prices. He also shares the results of a unique undercover experiment using professional actors to negotiate with energy companies — revealing just how much you can save if you know how to ask. And he lays out a bold vision for market reform, where the onus is no longer on consumers to endlessly compare plans, but instead on electricity companies to compete for us. What if getting a fair electricity deal was as easy as tapping a button, like ordering an Uber?

In this powerful NAIDOC Week yarn, I sit down with Uncle Cheg—Gregory Egert—one of our most respected elders and lifelong advocates for community, culture, and education in Southeast Queensland. From growing up in Inala in the 1960s, to decades of service on community boards and as an inaugural Elder in Residence at QUT and now UQ, Uncle Cheg shares stories of resilience, responsibility, and staying grounded in culture. We talk about the early days of big community meetings (complete with the occasional flying chair), the importance of giving back, and how Aboriginal-led research is shaping better futures through the ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Futures. Uncle Cheg reflects on what drives him to keep showing up for mob, why mentoring the next generation is non-negotiable, and his hopes and concerns for our young people as they step into a fast-changing world. Whether you’re mob, an ally, or someone wanting to understand more about what genuine community leadership looks like, this episode is a heartfelt reminder—especially during NAIDOC Week—that our culture, our stories, and our obligations endure. Tune in to hear Uncle Cheg’s wisdom on belonging, legacy, and the power of lifting each other up.

We all have a king that rules our life. And no, I don't mean Charles! We all surrender our lives to something or someone that ultimately rules us. The question is not whether we have a king but rather what king do we serve. And the king we choose to serve will ultimately enslave us. The list is endless - relationships, family, money, career, beauty, fitness, technology. And the consequences of this slavery are a whole range of behaviours that are unhealthy, undisciplined and ultimately ungodly. In Colossians 3, Paul makes a list of such behaviours that ultimately lead to death.Take your next step Receive prayer - https://gatewaybaptist.com.au/prayer Learn more about Jesus - https://gatewaybaptist.com.au/alpha Get Baptised - https://gatewaybaptist.com.au/next-st... _______ Gateway Baptist Church meets across five locations in South-East Queensland and also online.

The Good News, the Gospel, could simply be stated as this – Jesus is King! Jesus has defeated the powersof sin and death and invites all to participate in his Kingdom. It is a kingdom of life, not death. A kingdom of freedom from slavery. A kingdom equality and justice. A kingdom of power and grace. It is good news for everyone, everywhere. And for those who are in ‘the Kingdom', our task is to proclaim it! Proclaim the King. Paul encourages the church in Colossae to make every opportunity for the good news to be shared, in the way to behave, conversations had and answers to questions asked. Sometimes we either are not aware of the opportunities we have to share the good news, or not courageous enough to take the conversation further.

As the church in Colossians grappled with issues of race and religion, family and slavery – Paul brings a message of equality and freedom. If Jesus is King, as Paul argues - then he rules over all of us as his people who are equally valued and loved. And this must work its way out in all aspects of life and society – from church life to family relationships and even work. In a time where slavery was the norm, Paul challenges the norm.

Questions, comments, feedback? Tap here to send us a message!In today's episode, Margie Dickson, Environmental Project Manager at Healthy Land and Water, takes us on a journey through her experience leading an innovative project on the Caboolture River which re-establishes mangroves for long-term bank stabilisation and ecosystem resilience. This effort combines her engineering expertise with nature-based solutions, including the use of hardwood logs, strategic earthworks and mangrove revegetation to combat erosion. The project is not only addressing critical environmental risks like acid sulphate soils but also exploring how nature-based solutions can serve as alternatives to traditional 'hard' engineering approaches, increasing climate resilience and creating fish habitats.Our favourite thing about this project, and Margie's approach, is the way she combines immediate engineering solutions with long-term ecological thinking — rather than building the concrete barriers of the past, the goal is to reinforce banks by creating stable angles, placing strategic barriers, and establishing mangrove communities that will eventually take over the protective role naturally. As Margie explains, "Vegetation is always the long-term strategy for keeping our rivers stable and keeping them healthy."We also explore the fascinating world of mangroves - from their unusual root systems to their vital role as nurseries for fish and habitat for endangered species like the elusive water mouse. Margie shares how these remarkable plants propagate, sending floating "propagules" (not seeds!) up and down waterways, ready to take root and transform mudflats into thriving forests. Margie is a civil and environmental engineer with a passion for protecting and regenerating Southeast Queensland's waterways. She works on delivering on-ground projects that stabilise riverbanks, reduce sediment and nutrient runoff, and support healthier ecosystems and communities. Today, Margie shares the story of this fascinating project, the challenges of balancing engineering precision with ecological needs, and the importance of working with nature to protect our waterways.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a rating and review wherever you listen to your podcasts.✉️ Subscribe to our newsletter (no spam, we promise!) to keep up with new episodes of the show!

It's easy to blame outside forces when progress stalls, but sometimes the real slowdown happens inside our own heads. Constant second-guessing, perfectionism, and chasing too many ideas at once can quietly kill momentum. Business starts to feel like a loop—busy days with little real progress, and a creeping sense that something's off. Often, the problem isn't the plan or the tools—it's the noise we create for ourselves that keeps us from moving forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2sXTBuGzJ4 Dennis Hall is an Australian entrepreneur, business growth champion, and author specializing in supporting micro businesses.

You weren't created for a capped life. You were created to overflow. In this Pentecost Sunday message, Jason Elsmore challenges us to stop settling for “just enough” of God. The same Holy Spirit who empowered the early church is still moving today - and He wants to fill you with boldness, power, and purpose. Just as He reminds us in Acts 2: the Spirit is poured out on all people. That means you.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

I couldn't be more excited to share this episode with you! Ryan Shelton has been on the top of my guest wish list since I started Pass Around the Smile. His episode on the Imperfects Podcast on Shame, Jealousy and Purpose changed my life. And today, I hope this episode can have a similar effect on my beautiful community!Ryan and I have a very open, casual, yet vulnerable conversation about the struggles we have both faced within the film and television industry. We dive into everything from rejection and competition, to the emotional resilience it takes to keep going ~ and the tough inner dialogue that shows up when we feel like we've failed. Ryan is so generous in sharing his thoughts ~ which I know will help my Smilie's feel understood on many different levels. We also chat about how our goals can shift over time, and how doing the inner work can reveal that the big milestone we were chasing may not actually be what brings us happiness. Often, we place so much pressure on one “peak moment” that we forget to celebrate the beautiful things happening in between. This episode is a powerful reminder that joy, success, and fulfilment aren't reserved for some far-off finish line ~ they're available to us now, in the everyday.A BIT ABOUT RYAN: Ryan Shelton is a writer, actor, comedian, producer and podcast host who somehow manages to keep heart at the centre of everything he does. From Rove Live to We Can Be Heroes, to writing for award-winning shows with Hamish and Andy, his creative work has shaped some of Australia's most iconic entertainment. But it's his honest, vulnerable work on The Imperfects podcast that's creating a deeper kind of impact ~ helping people feel seen, heard, and understood.

What if the biggest problem in your life isn't the people around you… but who's sitting on the throne of your heart? This week's message from Colossians 3 dives into one of the most misunderstood and misused parts of Scripture - household codes. But what if they're not about control or power? What if they're actually about freedom, love, and surrender?In a world chasing status and authority, Jesus flips the script. He doesn't call us to rule over one another - He calls us to serve. He calls us to submit to Him, and through Him, to one another in humility and love. When the peace of Christ rules your heart, it changes everything - your marriage, your parenting, your friendships, your future.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

In this vulnerable episode, I share a moment I'm not proud of ~ a quiet judgement I made about someone else that caught me off guard. But instead of pushing it away, I looked at it closely… and realised it had nothing to do with them, and everything to do with a fear I hadn't fully healed in myself. With a focus on social media, in this episode I chat about the pressure we feel as a society to prove to others that we are 'happy' or 'successful,' or looking and feeling good. However what I've learned, is that success doesn't have to look loud. When I felt into this ~ the need to prove to others how 'well' I was doing melted away. It allowed me to breathe, the pressure melted away and I started becoming enjoying my life a lot more! This episode is also for anyone who's ever felt irrelevant, behind, or like their best achievements are already behind them. I explore how we measure our worth by the last “big thing” we did, and how that pressure to constantly top ourselves keeps us stuck in self-doubt.We also dive into; ~ The freedom that comes when we understand our projections~ Why we over-explain and justify ourselves when we're feeling unworthy~ How letting go of the need to prove our success to others brings a refreshing, peaceful energy. And I close with some reflective questions to help you redefine what success truly means to you:
So many of us live like God's love depends on us—on our performance, our knowledge, or our good works. In this powerful message from Colossians 2, we're reminded that the only equation that brings us confidence, peace, and salvation is this: Jesus + Nothing = Everything. You don't need to strive for acceptance or add anything to what Jesus has already done on the cross. He's fully God, fully man, and has completely cancelled your debt. When you put your faith in Him, you are made right with God—fully, completely, and confidently. If you need prayer, we're here for you.

In Paul's appeal to the Colossian church, he reiterates the creative and sovereign power of Jesus in a what seems to be a known song or prayer. For Paul, everything is about Jesus. It is Christ who is the agent in creation, it is Christ who reigns over all things, and it Christ who redeems and reconciles creation back to God. In Christ, our relationship with God can be restored. That is what gives us hope. That is what gives us meaning and purpose. That is what gives us life. That is true power. The invitation for everyone is to make Jesus King. Make Jesus King over all things. If you need prayer, we're here for you.

What are you wearing that no longer fits who God's called you to be?

We've all experienced moments when life underdelivers—when expectations are high, but reality hits hard. From dodgy online purchases to family letdowns, disappointment can be all too familiar. But what if the problem isn't just with our circumstances—but with our perspective of God? In this powerful message, we're challenged to see Jesus for who He really is—not just a kind teacher or miracle worker, but the supreme King over all creation. Paul's words in Colossians paint a breathtaking picture of Christ's majesty, His creative power, and His redemptive love.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

On Easter Sunday, we remember the moment that changed history—and changes our lives today. In this message, Andrew shares how the resurrection of Jesus speaks directly into the brokenness we see in the world and feel in our own lives. We're reminded that the resurrection of Jesus Christ defeated the power of sin and death that has plagued every person in every culture throughout every generation. Through His resurrection, Jesus offers us all a new beginning – a chance to break free from the bondage of sin and death and live in the freedom of His love and grace.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

In this message, Andrew unpacks that as Christians, we live in the tension of being in this world under earthly ‘kings' and members of earthly nations, yet we are citizens of another world and dominion – the ‘kingdom of light' as Paul refers to it in his letter to the Colossians. The question that we wrestle with as members of this kingdom is - how? How can we exist with all the pressures and temptations of the world around us? How do we ‘live a worthy life and please him in every way'? Well, Paul's answer is simple. Ask. Ask that the Holy Spirit fill you with knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

“Together we can build a thriving future for the building industry globally.” Duayne Pearce. I was raised on the smell of sawdust and paint fumes, spending countless hours on building worksites around South East Queensland, with my idol and best mate, my tradie Dad. I fully immersed myself in an industry that I would ultimately find irresistible. It was obvious from the get-go that an ever-present sense of tension between workers, bosses and customers was the way business was done. But more apparent was that money always seemed to be a problem. Nevertheless, leaving school early I jumped in with both feet. I worked hard, became a licensed builder and carpenter, and then reached the dizzying heights of what would appear on the outside to be an incredible success. The cars, the boats, the properties and even the accolades were afforded by our skyrocketing business turnover, but it was all a thin veneer. Underneath, my business was in danger of going bust and I was heading down that familiar rabbit hole of chronic stress, tension and inevitable outcomes of anxiety and depression. Like many contractors before me, I was about to lose everything. My rock bottom thankfully came with a silver lining and the wherewithal to reach out to my wife, friends and my team to try and sort things out. We worked together and took small steps to turn things around but I knew that I needed more help with structure and process. Business Coaches were part of the solution, but my ah-ha moment was realising none of the ones I had engaged understood or had experience in the building industry. That was my light-bulb moment. I'd found my niche and the journey to re-invent and elevate the industry that has always been so important to me, began. Now, with many collaborators and several innovations under my belt, it's my vision to level up the building industry. I'm on a mission to help others who are just like I was, struggling to make a living, working in one of the most important industries in the country. Informing, guiding, training and speaking are the tools of my trade that push for a revolution in the way residential builders and contractors approach their business to thrive. In doing so, we make vital inroads on how this multi-billion dollar industry is perceived positively by homeowner clients, the community and importantly the next generation of contractors choosing it as their own rewarding career.
