He must increase (John 3:22-36) with Mark Thompson

On the last day, no one will be debating who is the greatest theologian or evangelist or Christian leader; instead, our attention will be elsewhere, fixed on the bridegroom sent from heaven, the one for whom this whole show is for.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

Sent like the Son (John 13:1-20) with Simon Gillham
In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 15 July 2025, Simon Gillham, Vice Principal and Head of the Mission Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on John 13:1-20—Jesus washes his disciples’ feet—and how that relates to the mission of God.Simon reminds us that mission is not about you or what you do; it’s about Jesus. Mission is not about reaching the unreached; it’s about making disciples.

Theological and pastoral perspectives on menopause with Kate Snell (P&A 2025 annual conference elective)
In this episode, from an elective at the 2025 Priscilla & Aquila Centre annual conference held on Monday 3 February 2025, Kate Snell, Assistant School Chaplain at Barker College and former Dean of Students at Mary Andrews College, and wife of Brian, Associate Minister at St Philip's, South Turramurra, helps us think theologically about menopause in a talk arising from a research paper she wrote as part of her Master of Arts in Theology.Kate points out that menopause has the potential to challenge everything a woman thinks and feels about herself and her place in the world, and therefore this season of life raises all kinds of issues for women that also impact the way the church can care for them pastorally.Even if you’re not a woman, let me encourage you to listen to Kate’s talk, particularly if you are involved in pastoral ministry. It will assist you in understanding the experience of something that will one day affect around 50 per cent of the population. That includes all the women in your life.Please note: this episode is a companion piece to next week’s bonus episode with Kath Bruce and Cathy Young on the medical and ministry considerations of menopause.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.
