In this episode of the "Calling Us to Life" podcast from Queen's Park Baptist Church, hosts Richard and Jacqui are joined by pastors Iain and Brodie to dive deep into Iain's recent sermon on Romans 15.

The conversation is a practical and honest debrief of the sermon's "3 P's" of a Spirit-led mission: Presence, Power, and Proclamation.

• Presence: The team discusses the challenge of being "present" in the world. Referencing a quote about "comfortable pews" seeing more of Christians than the "multitudes", Jacqui asks how to balance structured church activities with building authentic, day-to-day relationships with people outside the church.

• Power: What do you do when your faith feels "eroded" and you don't feel the "confident hope" the Holy Spirit is supposed to provide? Brodie shares a powerful insight, emphasizing that our confidence isn't in our feelings but in the good news itself, and that being authentic about our struggles is essential.

• Proclamation: The group talks about the necessity of speaking the gospel, not just living it. Brodie candidly shares his own struggle with "flying the plane" but failing to "land it"—having great spiritual conversations but stopping short of an actual invitation. The team explores what a clear, accessible invitation looks like in a post-Christian world.

The episode wraps up with a real-life story about how a simple search for barn owls led to a spiritual conversation, illustrating how the 3 P's work together.
