How do you balance authority and influence in your kid’s life? Should we always protect our kids from disappointment? Parenting is all about asking these tough questions. In this podcast two grandfathers share their stories and the lessons they’ve learned about life and faith from their own parenting journeys. We talk about what it’s like to raise kids through every stage and then how everything changes when your kids start having kids. They share their greatest joys and deepest struggles from the first time you hold your child to becoming friends with your kids and every moment in between. In every stage, dads can learn and grow with their kids, building healthy relationships with their family and with God. Whether you’re deep in the parenting trenches, you’re trying to build a relationship with your adult children, or you just want to love and support the dads in your life - there’s something for everyone in this episode.

God is growing something in you. This Sunday we launch Growing Season, a brand new teaching series about faith, formation, and the farming world of Scripture. Jesus says God’s Word is like seed, and our hearts are like soil. So the question is: what kind of ground are you right now — hard, shallow, crowded, or ready to grow?

In the midst of a financial crisis, this is how we’re stepping up to care for our neighbours. The Care Fund not only meets financial needs, but also connects people to services and supports that they need to thrive. In this podcast, we share how the Care Fund got started, how it works and the impact that it’s had so far. We also dive into the heart behind this fund - following Christ’s call to love our neighbours and share our resources with others. Trinity has a history of generosity and care and this new fund is one way we’re extending that care even further. Tune in to learn more about the Care Fund and how you can participate in this important ministry.

Life is full of tough questions about meaning, purpose, politics and how to be a good person in the world.

In this podcast we unpack the way that youth group transforms lives through deep chats, real life advice, wrestling with hard questions and just loving everyone who walks through the door. Whether you’re looking to join a youth group or looking for inspiration to grow your youth ministry, tune in for a conversation full of laughter, hard-hitting wisdom and real life stories.

What if sharing your faith didn’t feel awkward, pushy, or forced? Here’s some practical advice to help you talk about Jesus so that people will actually listen. And here’s the secret - it’s more about what you do, than what you say. Witnessing isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about walking with people, showing compassion, and trusting God with the outcome. In this podcast we talk about the difference between witnessing and evangelism, the importance of leading with love and deep listening, and how to handle fear, rejection and tough questions. Whether you are nervous about sharing your faith or just looking for natural ways to talk about Jesus, tune in for a non-pushy, authentic approach to spreading the good news of Christ.

What do you do when life suddenly turns difficult - when the path ahead feels dark, uncertain, and overwhelming? In this powerful Good Friday message, we reflect on the suffering of Jesus and what it teaches us about facing pain, hardship, and uncertainty in our own lives. From the cross to the journey that led to it, Jesus shows us a different way - not to avoid suffering, run from it, or rush past it - but to walk through it with faith.
