Is the modern church accidentally creating consumers instead of disciples? Theologian Alastair Roberts and pastor Rory Shiner reveal why churches are struggling to form committed followers of Jesus, how consumer culture has quietly reshaped Christian community, and why a local sports club may understand discipleship better than many Sunday services.

Alastair Roberts is an independent theologian working with the Theophilus Institute and Davenant Institute, known for his work in theology, church history, liturgy, and cultural criticism. Rory Shiner is a Perth-based pastor and author who has spent years doing the ordinary, difficult work of building a local church.

They explain:

◼ Why many churches have unintentionally trained people to be consumers instead of participants—and how worship shifted from something people do to something people watch

◼ Why “what you win them with is what you win them to” and how low expectations can create churches where commitment never grows

◼ Why Jesus formed people through practices, habits, and embodied action—and why our hearts often follow what we repeatedly do

◼ What a grass-roots sports club reveals about koinonia, sacrifice, and belonging—and why genuine community requires everyone to have “skin in the game”

Why does the resurrection of Jesus still change everything in our chaotic world? UK pastor and evangelist Mike Hood reveals the powerful evidence, life-altering implications, and why this one historical event answers our deepest questions about meaning, love, justice, and hope.

Mike Hood is a pastor, evangelist, and author with years of experience helping skeptics and seekers explore faith. In his new book If That Changes Everything, he combines personal story, historical reasoning, and gospel hope.

He unpacks:◼️ Why the resurrection isn't a leap in the dark but a step onto solid ground◼️ How what happens after death radically shapes how we live right now◼️ The real reason many don't want the resurrection to be true◼️ Why the failure of the secular story is driving people back to church◼️ How Jesus' resurrection turns our daily labour from sandcastles into seeds that last forever"
