MINI-SERIES: Part 5 on the Practice of Arts: Word ministry

In this episode, Stu, Joel and Brayden why God's word remains central to everything Soul Revival does as a church. They reflect on their earliest (and often awkward!). We’re talking theology, history, practical training, and how God’s Word really does simplify church life when we keep it central.

They trace the influence of the Reformation and Anglican Prayer Book on how Soul Revival structures church services, unpack the role of the service leader, and talk through the value of liturgy, creeds, and communal prayer. Whether it’s Bible reading, leading from up front, or preaching itself, Word ministry reminds us that we’re not crafting vision—we’re responding to God’s vision.
