Hey there 2's and 3's!
For our 30th cast, we had the immense privilege of interviewing Dr Rod Thompson, a prominent Educational Expert in Australasia on what is 'Christian Education:'
- Former Principal of Laidlaw College (NZ Bible College: 2011 - 2015)
- Doctorate on 'The Foundational Impact of Teaching the Bible in Schools'
- Former Pastor of Sydney Church Plant, Current Pastor Emeritus in Springwood Presbyterian Churches in Sydney's Blue Mountains
- A variety of current, lecturing/teaching Roles, incl. with NZ's Venn Foundation, Australia's Christian Education National (CEN) and the National Institute of Christian Education (NICE)
As are all conversations/speaking engagements with Rod we had an inspiring conversation regarding the blending between Pastoral and Teaching Vocations, What it means to teach Christianly, and on the need for Biblical Literacy in the 21st Century. Rod's insights carry import of considerable worth bridged in the sort of accessible way that only a pastor/teacher of many years wisdom and experience could do in making the complex simple. We hope you enjoy this offering, as his perspectives are certainly still resonating in our ears in lived out echoes.
Grace & Peace in Christ's name, - J, C. & J.

One of Rod's latest ventures is as a Board Member of "Hope Christian Homes;" a Social Business/NGO wishing to find, fund and repurpose housing and tenancy for the purpose of providing people with disabilities a valuable means of integrating into society; through living in homes of their own. I highly recommend checking out this wonderful venture, as I suspect we will see good things in days to come: Hope Christian Homes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enqUG...
