| 5/4/26 | ![]() Speaking Truth to Power | Send us Fan Mail For over four decades, the Rev Dr Patricia Allan has advocated for the victims of abuse in the church, work which was recognised with the awarding of an ONZM in the New Year's Honours list this year. Patricia is now 88, and calls herself an unlikely warrior or firebrand. In this podcast, she reflects deeply on her journey of advocacy, what it has cost, and how to ensure churches can be safe spaces. Speaking Truth to Power may be an uncomfortable episode of For Pastors - but i... | 38m 41s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | ![]() Making Friends Out of Conflict | Send us Fan Mail Conflict. It’s all around us – on the world stage, in our families and workplaces, often deep within ourselves. And it’s in our churches – from the volume of the music to centuries-old theological debates. Yet we hardly ever talk about conflict, and as a result we often do it pretty badly. In this podcast, Vic Francis talks to the Rev Dr Karen Kemp from Laidlaw College, an expert in conflict, to find out how we can handle it better. Welcome to Making Friends Out of Conflict. ... | 48m 42s | ||||||
