The #realUnitingChurch podcast explores the core identity of the Uniting Church in this its 40th year, and where the church might go in the next 40 years.

Hosts Scott and Mardi talk to a range of interesting people including key leaders of the Uniting Church in Queensland as well as people from across the breadth of the Synod about the future of the church.

Our 2016 podcast, Church Unchained, explored dangerous and innovative ideas for the church in Australia. Produced by the Uniting Church in Queensland, we explore theology, discipleship, leadership and more. Listen to both podcasts here.

Scott Guyatt is the mission engagement project officer for the Queensland Synod and a wonderer who enjoys creativity and sideways thinking in unexpected places.

Mardi Lumsden is the communications director for the Queensland Synod, a musician, ponderer of big questions and lover of seeing good ideas become reality.
