A 4-week video-based series to facilitate discussion and encourage steps towards faith, baptism and service.
Sacred Agents #122: If culture eats strategy for breakfast, what eats culture for lunch?
Excellent, original, Australian evangelism training course for churches written and presented by Belinda Lakelin. Features sermon outlines, small group, coaching opportunities and more.
Crossover Recommends: 12 Episode documentary from Olive Tree Media sharing stories of faith from around Australia
Sacred Agents #110: What is the 2021 Australian Census data on religious affiliation telling us? I try to interpret columns of numbers into meaningful narrative.
Recommended testimony video (7:51) from NewLife Church Gold Coast
Recommended giveaway book: "This is a swash-buckling adventure-ride of a book. It’s academically grounded, culturally attuned, and full of evangelistic chutzpah. I’d put this into the hands of any of my secular friends in a heartbeat." - Review by Rory Shiner
Crossover Encouragement Resource: 3x 1-min episodes to encourage believers to share their news. Easy to share in services or embed in weekly emails.
Present People is a training program for churches based on Sport
Chaplaincy Australia’s unique approach to ministry, practiced and
refined in sporting communities over
almost 40 years.
SCA partner closely with churches to
deliver the program, follow up each
trainee, and provide additional support.
Sacred Agents #121: The Scandal and the Wonder. When is a person ready for baptism? At birth? At death? OK somewhere in between. But what's best for the formation of new disciples?
Crossover recommends: Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, Rebecca McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world's best hope.
Super simple 1 minute video on inviting your friends to church.
Crossover Recommends: 4-part short video series by Bulls+Arrows (Youth Dimensions) youth focused, outlining essentials of the gospel.
Sacred Agents #113: What's happening with Australian young adults? They're checking out church in big numbers.
Sacred Agents #115: There's lots of ways of speaking, but what is actually being heard?
3x 1-min episodes - encouraging believers to share their most important news. Each episode can stand alone, but the story builds ... and twists!
Crossover recommends: Scripture Union Ireland’s first film series, launched in 2017 is ideal for youth groups and young adults but accessible for all ages. NUA is a film series that encourages questions, acknowledges doubt, and offers an engaging perspective on the Christian faith. 8x 15min episodes.
Sacred Agents #119: We often think about how we talk to people about God. But how do we talk to God about people? Here's some simple but powerful suggestions.
Sacred Agents #120: It's a great instinct to want to include different generations, nationalities or other types of people in your church. But where to start?
A resource for pastors, youth leaders and evangelists to keep on hand. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book walks through with people what it means and looks like to entrust their whole lives to Christ, and how the act of baptism encapsulates and enacts it.
Book by Andrew Turner: What is real success for a church? What are we aiming for?
If it’s all about size and health, then why did Jesus curse that big, healthy-looking fig tree? Could it be that we are aiming to shape churches that will impress everyone but him? What does a truly fruitful church look like?
Fruitful Church exposes how, ironically, the typical aims of growth and health actually choke real life from churches. It explores an alternative vision that refreshes every aspect of local church life and compels it to awaken from static religious institution towards the dynamic missional movement that God first planted.
Sacred Agents #103: Are our gatherings as inviting and accessible as Jesus is?
Sacred Agents #104: That 'the gates of Hades will not overcome' the church is even better news than we perhaps thought.
Crossover recommends: Excellent 'apologetic apologetic' for thinking enquirers/skeptics. Interesting historical overview with theme of Christ's kingdom recurring.
