Engage All Ages: The Intergenerate Australia/NZ Podcast

In this episode of Engage All Ages, Michael and Tammy are diving further into the work of John Roberto (author of 'Lifelong Faith: Formation for All Ages and Generations'), exploring what Christian maturity and lifelong faith formation look like in intergenerational communities.
John Roberto’s key principles include faith as a lifelong journey across seasons, churches articulating clear goals for faith maturing, and a holistic approach (head, heart, hands) that forms and transforms.
Other topics include how identity is shaped in community, and how faith formation must engage active believers through to non-believers using life experience, tradition, and application.
The next 'Planted to Flourish' gathering will take place on Saturday October 10th 2026 at St Peter's Anglican Church in Maroochydore - www.intergenerate.com.au/event-details/planted-to-flourish-sunshine-coast

It's the last episode in this series where storytelling is at the heart of our discussion, as Michael Stalley, Tammy Preston and Phil Smith look at ways that we can live out our story with an intergenerational focus.
One word that is key to this series is the Japanese word 'PechaKucha' - it simply means 'chit-chat', but is also a storytelling format where presenters show 20 slides for 20 seconds each.
In this episode we return to New Zealand, to hear from Rachel Sangster, Co-Pastor at Riccarton Baptist Church in Christchurch, about a monthly gathering they run called Brunch Church.

This episode's PechaKucha is from Julian Ross, who is a lay preacher at St Paul's Uniting Church in Stafford (Brisbane), who shares about what it means to be learning and growing together in her congregation.
