He had a three-year-old son, a daughter in primary school, a wife in her 30s, and a faith he'd spent years building on paper. None of that made the hospital bed easier.

Part 2 of David's Chip Lunch conversation picks up where Part 1 left off — and it goes somewhere unexpected. Before the leukemia, there's the story of how David met his wife through a devotion on the early church martyr Polycarp, helped start Soul Revival out of a cockroach-infested garage, and was part of the "house band" in Belvedere Blues — a jazz-flavoured R&B band playing to thousands of teenagers in the grunge era.

Then comes the diagnosis. David talks honestly about what it's like when a theoretical theology of suffering meets the reality of your own mortality — the loss of control, the anger, the questions, and the slow, hard work of trusting a sovereign God who he believes ordained every step, including the hard ones. His brother Peter was a bone marrow match. The transplant worked. He's still here.

Now in his fifth year as Principal for the second time, what he calls being the fifth and eighth principal of the same school, David reflects on 34 years at Shire Christian School, what it means to lead an institution you love, and the one thing he'd tell his younger Christian self: it's about the people. When it's not about the people, it's still about the people.

Then in Year 11, he and a friend started flipping through the New Testament over landline phone calls from Gosford to the North Shore, pointing each other to verses they were finding for the first time. What they were stumbling into, David now knows, was the Holy Spirit at work.

In Part 1 of his Chip Lunch conversation, David — musician, music teacher, and early Soul Revival adjacent — takes Joel and Brayden through his faith journey. From a charismatic Catholic youth group to a pseudo-Christian cult that nearly swallowed him whole, to sitting alone in his bedroom in Gosford and finally understanding what it meant to be born again without losing himself, David's story is rich, honest, and full of unexpected turns.

Along the way there's a Central Coast childhood of dam swims, dragster bikes, and neighbourhood cricket; four Catholic schools; a detour through electrical engineering before music teaching won out; and a serious reckoning with what it actually costs to walk away from a strong cultural and family faith to follow Jesus somewhere new.

David also breaks down the difference between playing what's written and playing around the chords, and why that distinction matters.

She's the kind of person who makes things run without needing the credit. And on this episode of Chip Lunch, she finally gets to sit in the chair and tell her story.

It's a story shaped by a hardworking dad who didn't believe in sleeping in, a mum who dragged the family to church late every Sunday rather than not go at all, and a faith that was tested, confirmed, and quietly held through all of it.

Kim grew up in Sylvania: moving bricks on school holidays, peeling potatoes for the deep freezer, and navigating life as a twin who always seemed to attract the kids nobody else made time for. She came to faith through confirmation classes, answering yes to a question that had stumped her for years. She found her people in a youth group of older Christians who drove her home, prayed for her HSC, and gave her a safe place when home felt complicated.

From there, Kim took a job she didn't fully understand, got thrown into Beach Mission completely unprepared, and kept saying yes to things long before she felt ready

Joel and Brayden also get Kim's perspective on the combination of MCC and Soul Revival, what it means after 30 years to gain a bigger Christian family, and why she thinks the best thing about it is simply more people to love and be loved by.

In this episode of Chip Lunch, Joel and Tim sit down with Aurelia — a law student, globetrotter, and follower of Jesus.

Aurelia unpacks what it means to bring God into the everyday rhythms of a legal career. From chatting about church with fellow clerks to gently opting out of party culture without being preachy, she shares how normalising faith in the workplace starts with genuine friendship and small, consistent acts of love.

Aurelia takes us on a whirlwind tour of her past year: a two-week summer intensive at Cambridge (with a cheeky sneak into Trinity College), a presentation submitted 15 minutes late after an all-nighter and a bout of food poisoning — that she still delivered the same day — and a solo adventure through Iceland, Paris, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam, where she tracked down her late grandfather's childhood home without using Google Maps.

The highlight of the episode might be the six months Aurelia spent living alone in London, studying transnational law at King's College — a dream she'd quietly held since she was 17 years old. She gets real about the beauty and the loneliness of solo living, the discipline of meal prep, turning 22 without her family, and learning that her dog had passed away mid-birthday drinks.

Aurelia's faith is the through-line. She found a church in London within weeks, took her first communion from a shared cup at a tiny English-speaking congregation in Amsterdam, and kept asking people if she could pray for them, whether she was a clerk in Sydney or a student in the UK.

Since we last heard from her, Aurelia's been studying law and psychology at UNSW, shocking rats in labs (ethically, she promises), hiking glaciers in Iceland during snowstorms, attending a future leaders intensive at Cambridge, and spending six months studying transnational law at King's College London: a dream she's had since she was 17.

This conversation is full of surprising tangents. It opens with a 10-minute deep dive into the trolley problem , moves into why KFC chips are terrible, and eventually lands on chicken salt and vinegar, Aurelia's chip preference, which she's been committed to since childhood fish-and-chip Sundays after church.

But beneath the laughs is a thoughtful reflection on what it means to be a Christian studying law. Tim introduces the Hebrew concept of shalom, bringing wholeness and rightness to the world, and suggests that even writing wills brings shalom by ensuring the right people get the right things and honouring a person's intentions. Aurelia takes that idea and runs with it, realising that good lawyering, across corporate law, acquisitions, or litigation, is about bringing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

The travel stories are spectacular. Aurelia describes submitting an assignment 15 minutes late after throwing up all night from exhaustion at Cambridge, then presenting anyway because she refused to let it ruin her graduation celebration. She talks about hiking a glacier in Iceland at sunset during a snowstorm, visiting her grandfather's childhood home in Rotterdam without maps because she joked she'd "just know the way," and taking communion for the first time at a tiny English-speaking church in Amsterdam.

And then there's King's College London—a dream Aurelia had at 17 that she'd forgotten about until she randomly checked her uni emails (rare for her) and saw an opportunity to study transnational law. She applied on the last day, got accepted despite being one subject short of the credit requirement, and spent six months studying with professors who are military advisors, UN court specialists, and leading experts in marine insurance and international institutions in crisis.

Rob's back, and he's more confident, more grounded, and deeper in his faith; but the path to get there wasn't smooth. From hanging up his rugby boots after too many concussions, to moving to Tasmania for six months searching for independence and clarity, to coming back and diving into Bible college while leading youth at MCC, Rob's journey has been one of learning to let God lead instead of doing it all himself.

This conversation is honest about the struggle. Rob talks about the pressure he put on himself to be like the leaders who shaped him. He shares how he tried to extract all their wisdom and condense it into something he could use to disciple the younger kids, and how exhausting that was. "I was trying to do it by myself without any prayer or reflection," he admits. God had to step in and remind him: "You don't have to do everything. I didn't say you had to."

There's also the Tasmania chapter, six months living on his own in Hobart, attending church, trying to find work, and learning what it means to truly rely on God when you're completely out of your comfort zone. Rob talks about the spiritual darkness he saw there, the loneliness of not knowing anyone, and the eye-opening realisation that independence without God's guidance is just isolation.

Despite the rocky path, despite the self-doubt and the struggles, Rob kept showing up. He came back from Tasmania, said yes to Bible college even though he hated school, and threw himself into leading youth at MCC with a group of rowdy kids who challenge him every week. And through it all, God has been teaching him patience, spiritual discipline, and what it means to be present and relational in a way that points people to Jesus.

She shares memories of growing up with a kangaroo in the backyard, a horse named Cherokee, and a grandmother who worked so hard she couldn't make it to church until later in life.

But beneath the delightful stories about accidentally fleeing a car park after a minor bump and studying Egyptology for four years "just for fun," there's something deeply moving about Julie's faith. She became a Christian after attending a Billy Graham crusade, and that decision shaped how she raised her kids through turbulence and divorce, how she welcomed her grandson Mazen into their home, and how she continues to show up for family even as mobility becomes harder.

She shares memories of growing up with a kangaroo in the backyard, a horse named Cherokee, and a grandmother who worked so hard she couldn't make it to church until later in life.

But it quickly moves into Julie's remarkable story: growing up with her mother and grandmother in Rockdale, living in the back of a shop, and eventually buying a house in Gymea Bay thanks to a kind real estate agent who lent them money interest-free because they couldn't get a loan.

But the heart of this episode is Billy Graham. In 1959, Julie attended a crusade at Moore Park and everything changed. She was 15 or 16, already going to church but not yet a Christian in the way she would become. Billy Graham's calm, believable way of speaking gave her what she'd been looking for: clarity, understanding, and a faith she could take ownership of. "I wanted calmness," she says simply.


From there, Julie's life was shaped by that decision. She trained as a secretary at Gymea TAFE, worked various office jobs, married a naval officer and spent two years at the Naval College in Jervis Bay with her mother and grandmother in tow. She raised three kids, knocked down an old house and built a new one, and showed up at church faithfully for decades.

Part two dives into what 19 years of youth ministry has taught Greaves about what actually matters on a Friday night. Spoiler: it's not the program. It's not whether the game works or the band sounds good. It's the friendship, based on Jesus.

From feathers still turning up in church couches two months after a Home Alone 4D movie night, to the Halloween night where zero kids showed up until later, to teenagers spontaneously grabbing drums and keyboards mid youth group, this is youth ministry.

Greaves shares something that cuts through a lot of ministry pressure: everything on a Friday night, other than sharing the gospel, is negotiable. The point was never perfection. The point is being there, being friends, and pointing people to Jesus.

There's also a fun conversation about the energy recent convert teenagers bring, the rowdy year nine atheist who wants to debate God, the kids with zero filter and zero expectations, and why that chaos is actually one of the greatest gifts to a ministry.

Greaves, we love you.

From WWE nostalgia and the death of MTV to navigating Gen Z meme culture mid-gospel talk, we're ready for a big does of Greaves-dom.

Greaves cuts through every youth leadership anxiety with a simple answer: you're not committing to being charismatic or entertaining. You're committing to being their friend. That's it.

The conversation traces his journey through nearly two decades of youth ministry: dusty church halls, COVID-era Discord youth groups, coordinating across two separate youth groups, fun nights that didn't turn out the way they wanted and others that unexpectedly did, all based on long-term, low-key relational ministry: showing up week after week, remembering names, offering friendship, and consistently pointing young people to Jesus.

We welcome the Most Reverend Kanishka Raffel, Archbishop of Sydney, to share his remarkable journey from Buddhism to leading one of Australia's most influential Christian denominations.

Archbishop Raffel's story begins in 1986, when a humid Sydney night and a pocket-sized Gospel of John transformed everything. Raised in a devout Buddhist family after immigrating from Sri Lanka in the 1970s, Kanishka spent his early twenties earnestly pursuing enlightenment through meditation and the eight-fold path. He was committed to gaining total control over every aspect of his life, until a friend on a beach mission told him something that shattered his worldview: being a Christian meant losing control of his life to Jesus Christ.

From reading John's Gospel three times in one night to the prayers of his Christian grandmother and teenage friends, Kanishka's conversion story reveals how God orchestrates every detail, even before we know we need saving.

They chat about the Archbishop's 17-year ministry in Perth, his unexpected call to become Dean of Sydney Cathedral, and ultimately his election as the first non-European Archbishop of Sydney. Kanishka shares the challenges of public ministry in an increasingly secular culture, the loneliness of leadership, and why he asks people to pray specifically for "the fear of God rather than the fear of humans."


From debating theology over chili salt preferences to discussing the power of persistent prayer across generations, this episode captures exactly what Chip Lunch does best, revealing the extraordinary work of an ordinary God in the lives of people because Jesus Changes Everything.

The love story begins with Chris making Rachel watch The Perfect Catch to explain that the Penrith Panthers season comes first. We hear about the legendary cheese dip incident, the mutual realisation at a flower shop, and being abandoned in the bush when Chris saw a snake.

Rachel opens up about parenting Callie, Pippa, and Bonnie, three very different daughters who need to be loved differently according to their unique needs plus other parenting wisdom.

The conversation covers 18 years teaching early childhood, leading Kids with Karen on Saturday nights, watching two and three-year-olds grow in understanding of God, and why the village approach to raising children matters.

Rachel shares what she'd tell year 10 Rachel about friends leaving church, why persistence matters, and how showing up consistently might be exactly what someone else needs.

Lewis shares how book clubs during Australia's bushfire season led to reading "Silence" and C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" with friends. But intellectual arguments weren't what ultimately convinced him. It was the radical love at Soul Revival Church, where adults genuinely cared for teenagers and his rough friends were welcomed.

We discuss the transformative power of intergenerational church community, why Lewis believes hanging out only with your age group keeps you immature, and how immediately serving in youth ministry shaped his faith. Lewis opens up about experiencing his grandfather's death as a Christian versus his non-Christian family, discovering grace as what "keeps life going," and why he's increasingly convinced Christianity offers something no other religion can provide.

The conversation challenges the assumption that you need a dramatic crisis to come to faith. Lewis reminds us that ultimately, "it's just you and Jesus" and that's enough.

From planting churches as a kid in the Sutherland Shire to designing rockets as an aerospace engineer, Brad's story is full of "but God" moments. But nothing prepared him for the morning a cycling accident left him unconscious for 16 days with severed arteries and a broken neck in three places.

The odds of survival were almost zero. The first responders who showed up were an off-duty police officer, a running mate with nappies, and an ER nurse—all in the right place at the right time. The ambulance that arrived in 4 minutes and 32 seconds during peak hour happened to carry the only trial dressing in Australia for major arterial bleeds.

Brad opens up about growing up choosing service over comfort, making hard faith choices as a teenager, and what it's like learning to live with a severe traumatic brain injury. He graduated as an aerospace engineer, but some of those abilities are gone now. He grieves that loss, but he's not giving up. He's taking it all back with God's help, running marathons, and telling his story to anyone who will listen.

This is a story about asking "Why am I here?" and finding boldness to share faith in unexpected places. Because God's gift isn't the injury—it's the recovery, and the platform it's given him to share his faith.

Jairus doesn't shy away from the hard stuff. He talks about his family's story—his parents' long struggle to have children, the miracle of his birth, and how people he now meets in Adelaide still tell him they prayed for him before he was born. He shares how traveling to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and India as a young kid exposed him to real suffering and gave him perspective that keeps him grounded when peers at school "carry on like clowns" without realising how blessed they are.

The conversation explores what it's like when your mates already know not to invite you out on Saturday nights because you'll be at church and late night youth. Jairus explains why he never changes how he acts around non-Christian friends, why living consistently matters more than immediate conversions, and how standing out as different—"What are you doing Saturday? I'm going to church"—plants seeds that might grow 20 years later.

We also hear about youth leading, building relationships with Year 10 boys who don't come to church but show up every Friday, and the reward of seeing two of them start coming to church. Jairus shares about running at national championships in Adelaide with his grandfather watching,  who FaceTimed him every day and he struggled through lockdown and then witnessed God's work culminating in baptism and representing NSW. And he reflects on the Easter Sunday when he baptized his brother Zach in the river, a moment that became a core memory.

Jairus's simple affirmation through chaos? "Life sucks, but God's got me."

This is Part 2 of Jairus' story. Listen to Part 1 for Jairus's journey through lockdown, discovering running as meditation, and how discipline carried him through the HSC.

We hear what lead them Soul Revival Church — quite literally, after hearing the music from a nearby balcony!

This episode is a powerful reminder of God’s presence in both ordinary moments and life-altering trials. We also talk about the role of Christian community, the slow and steady walk of faith, and why following Jesus means more than just showing up on Sundays.

We kick off with her hot chip preferences and her disinterest in high school maths. She then opens up about feeling left out at church during her younger years, but a mission trip to Vanuatu in Year 10 marks a turning point, deepening her faith and reshaping her outlook. Growing up in a Christian household and attending a Christian school laid the groundwork, but it wasn’t until she felt truly included and challenged that her beliefs became personal and significant.

Chloe also talks about her rebellious school years, shifting priorities after graduation, and how a gap year spent helping her church with live streams sparked her interest in production and deepened her involvement in the church community. Now working in PR and navigating early career challenges, she reflects on her sheltered schooling, surprising experiences at university, and the openness of young people to talk about life and faith.

She then opens up about feeling left out at church during her younger years, but a mission trip to Vanuatu in Year 10 marks a turning point, deepening her faith and reshaping her outlook. Growing up in a Christian household and attending a Christian school laid the groundwork, but it wasn’t until she felt truly included and challenged that her beliefs became personal and significant.

Chloe also talks about her rebellious school years, shifting priorities after graduation, and how a gap year spent helping her church with live streams sparked her interest in production and deepened her involvement in the church community.
