An Aussie Doctor on COVID-19 in the developing world – Dr Ian Marr
Ian never wanted to be a doctor. But after seeing the gaps in diagnostic testing available in the developing world, he pursued a career as an Infectious Disease Physician. Ian was working in Timor-Leste when COVID-19 struck, and explains the pandemic’s devastating impact on this small nation.
End COVID For All – Tim Costello
COVID-19 is not over for anyone, until it’s over for everyone. And while Australia has been a leader in ‘flattening the curve’, too many of our global neighbours are far worse off. In fact, they’re in crisis. Tim Costello talks exclusively about why Micah Australia have taken the lead on a nationwide campaign called #EndCOVIDForAll.
Hope on the streets of Lesotho – Josh and Belinda Groves
Eight years ago Belinda went to the African nation of Lesotho to help oversee national elections.

Josh and Belinda Groves share their story of leaving comfortable lives, to rehabilitate children living on the streets of Lesotho.
Life in Wartime
The COVID-19 epidemic has brought upon us all the moral challenges associated with living in a state of constant conflict. We have to choose how we’re going to respond to this global threat day by day, and David Robertson and Stephen McAlpine from Third Space are here to help you think through the implications of the messages we’re hearing, and how God would have us live in these challenging times.
Evangelism In Wartime
Since Jesus’ granting of the Great Commission, in season and out, His followers have sought to spread the good news. But what does evangelism look like in a world locked down by anxiety?
The Weapons of Wartime

Run Like A Woman
Run Like a Woman shines a light on the experiences of ordinary Australian Christian women. From stories of resilience to practical advice, women share about their lives and how their faith has guided, sustained and grown them. Hosted by Penny Mulvey and Bec Abbott, Run Like a Woman is part of the Eternity Podcast Network, which thousands of listeners tune into every week. We hope this podcast will offer you encouragement, community and inspiration. “Hearing raw, honest stories from other Christian women is a truly powerful thing. Even if their experience is different to mine, I have found it relatable and often healing. It resonates with me for a long time afterwards.” – a Run Like a Woman listener
Mother, Daughter and the Black Cloud of Depression
One in five young Australians say they are struggling with their mental health, and suicide is the leading cause of death for those aged 15-24. So how do parents cope when it’s their child who doesn’t want to live? Run Like a Woman’s co-host Penny Mulvey and her daughter Holly open up about their personal journey with anxiety and depression.
Beating Burnout
Researching and writing about spirituality may sound a bit airy-fairy, but as Robyn Wrigley-Carr discovered, it’s actually intensely practical. When Robyn hit burnout, she turned to biblical wisdom and spiritual practices to help her recover.
SALT
Jenny Salt is a Christian academic, a graduate and former lecturer at Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC), and sweet-heart with a microphone. Join her on a forty-minute journey into someone’s amazing and often unexpected spiritual travels. Missionaries and media makers, scientists and sportspeople, new agers and new migrants – Salt is a chance to enter into the lives of people and discover heart-warming, sometimes challenging and always extraordinary gospel stories.
Never Going Home – Anthony
What does it mean to truly devote yourself to Christian service? Anthony speaks about his own experiences in a dangerous land and shares about an older missionary whose depth of commitment inspires him.
Two Sisters And A Tumour – Emily
Emily shares with Jenny how a brain tumour in her little sister brought her a greater understanding of what it means to say, "God is good."
Undeceptions
Every week on Undeceptions we’ll explore some aspect of life, faith, history, culture, or ethics that is either much misunderstood or mostly forgotten. With the help of people who know what they’re talking about, we’ll be trying to ‘undeceive ourselves’ and let the truth ‘out’.

Against Euthanasia
We’re laying out the best arguments for and against legalising euthanasia.
With all due Respect
Less aggro, more conversation. Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it. There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.
Divine Comedy
How divine is comedy? When we tell jokes, are we reflecting our creator’s character or just whiling away the hours between here and eternity? Megan and Michael ask the question: has God got a sense of humour?
A Christian Nation?
What does it mean to be a Christian Nationalist? Is it even compatible with Christian theology – or does it replace it altogether? Megan and Michael investigate how it is shaping the evangelical world.
