Alpha Australia - Last Things First

Journey Catholic Radio - Interviews

Last Things First–Huw Warmenhoven– Belong Believe Become (Huw says our approach to evangelisation and the paradigm of ‘behave, believe, belong’ is changing to ‘belong, believe, become.’ And tells us what this means for the Church today. Rather than imposing the Kerygma it all about proposing the three great questions of faith, life and meaning: Where do you belong? What do you believe? Who do you want to become? The timeless message hasn’t changed, but what has changed is the way enable people to have an encounter with Jesus.)

Alpha--Huw Warmenhoven—Open Generation Report (Huw Warmenhoven tells Journey Editor Max Norden about the recent Open Generation survey of young people which interviewed 28 thousand teenagers from across the world, including a significant number from Australia. Huw explains some of the key findings such as 22% of Gen-Z say they are committed Christians and another 30% say they are only nominal Christians and the remaining 48% are of other faiths or no faith. The survey also showed that those who had a strong faith belief also had a strong sense of community while those with weak, poor, or no faith belief also felt a lack of connect to the community. Huw will return in a couple of weeks with more on how Alpha is responding to this survey information.)

It is an ongoing series of short videos exploring identity, belonging, purpose, and faith. The videos are designed to spark faith conversations together with discussion questions.

Interview–Dr Eammon Mathieson–Catholic Medical Association of Australia (Jude Hennessy in conversation with Dr Eammon Mathieson from the Catholic Medical Association of Australia – a national body to give support and a voice to Catholic doctors in an increasingly secular culture. The association aims to provide much needed support to Catholic doctors who often feel “isolated” and to simplify communication with other health care organisations. It will help medical practitioners feel more supported and encouraged in their daily practice and continue to strengthen their understanding of the wisdom and dignity Catholic teaching brings to healthcare. The Association’s conference is being held at St Joseph’s Baulkham Hills, 10–12 November 2023.
