Before we jump into the action - the call to pray an d work towards doubling - we would be wise to take a breath and pause over the preamble to the statement.

We are joined in this episode by Board of Directors member, Anne Eckermann, who will help us pay attention to the anchoring truths expressed by the preamble. Here is that preamble:

We acknowledge God works out all things according to the counsel of his will and in his mercy saves his people through the faithful preaching of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We return for the new year, in the wake of some exciting developments at The Gospel Coalition Australia and among Australian Christian leaders.

In TGCA we have established a Board of Directors to enact our vision and mission, with new directors joining some of the existing Council members. In this episode we are joined by Bill Salier, the Chair of TGCA and also chair of the the Board of Directors.

We also had the Doubling Vision statement developed and published. We chat with Bill about how this Doubling Vision came about and what might be possible if we pray and work together toward this goal, across Australia.
