In June I wrote 6 Podcasts That Can Influence Your Life and Leadership Capacity. If you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to read it in conjunction with this — Part 2. The following is a list of new podcasts I have added to my podcast library which I have found quite interesting and helpful in the different spheres of my life, leading myself, at home and at church. No matter your sphere of life or influence, I hope this list will be helpful to you.

1. THE VAULT PODCAST

The Vault Podcast is a children’s ministry specific podcast featuring Funny Man Dan (Dan Lee-Archer), Jess Mclean (Hillsong Australia Kids Pastor) & David Wakerley (Hillsong Kids Creative Director and Pastor) from Hillsong Kids in Sydney Australia. These three have many years of childrens ministry leadership experience under their belt. The podcast is dedicated to help strengthen your kids team and your effectiveness as a childrens ministry leader. You can find it on YouTube here or subscribe and download from wherever you get your podcasts.

2. UNDECEPTIONS

Undeceptions with John Dickson (author, speaker, historian, media presenter and Founding Director of the Centre for Public Christianity) explores aspects of faith, life, history, culture or ethics that is either forgotten or misunderstood. To undecive is to o free from deception, illusion or error. With the help of experts, John Dickson and his guests try to let the truth out every Monday. He has discussed the authenticity of the bible, religion in sport, God and science, moral classics and much more.

Every Friday, Holly and Andrew look at the reality of parenting with all of its surprises, confusion, inspiration, exhaustion and mess.
