Tools for a Lifetime of Ministry with Tim Johnson
About this episode
Tim Johnson discusses his journey in ministry and the importance of being well-equipped for a lifetime of service.
🎙️ S4 E2 — Tools for a Lifetime of Ministry with Tim Johnson In this episode, our Principal, Rhys Bezzant , sits down with newly appointed faculty member Tim Johnson for a rich conversation about life, ministry, and what it means to be well-equipped for the long haul. Tim shares his journey from growing up in a minister's home in Sydney's western suburbs — with no intention of ever becoming a pastor himself — to over 12 years as vicar of St John's Diamond Creek , and now joining Ridley's faculty to teach preaching and pastoral care. Along the way, they discuss the moment Tim's understanding of justification changed everything, how a local church can prune back activity to focus on what matters most, and why theological education remains vital in a world of cheap alternatives. Tim also opens up about his approach to personal spiritual growth, intentional reading plans, and what it means to keep filling the tank for a lifetime of ministry. A warm, honest, and deeply encouraging conversation for anyone in or considering vocational ministry. Got Questions? Got questions about Ridley College? We'd love to hear from you!
