  • Mission Possible – Episode 4: Be distinctively Christian
    Mar 3 2025

    This week we're joined by Ben Poch, who was SU's Head of Regional Mission at the time of recording. Along with Ben, we're exploring the fourth key to effective mission from our 'Mission Possible' research – Being distinctively Christian.

    Why is it important to include distinctively Christian elements (prayer, worship, Bible reading) right from the start of mission activities? What happens when we neglect elements like this or bring them in too late in the process? Join us as we explore this important consideration when aiming to Reveal Jesus to children and young people beyond the church!

  • Mission Possible – Episode 3: The importance of relationships
    Feb 17 2025

    This week, Rachael Heffer (Head of mission at the Evangelical Alliance) is with us as we explore the third key to effective mission from our 'Mission Possible' research – The importance of Relationships.

    It may sound obvious, but when reaching out to 'the 95', building meaningful relationships is critical – with the young people themselves and with those around them. We hope you find this chat on the topic inspiring and informative, and a real encouragement in the work you're doing to Reveal Jesus to children and young people beyond the church!
